Heh, L as Misa's fanboy never ceases to amuse me. I'm glad you worked it into this story. ^^ *loves* Awesome work, yet again. Hope to see the next post on Tuesday!

XDDDDD great job with Misa (i'm assuming; we haven't met her yet). Child actor is so perfect for her. Kick in the shins! I bet she never grew up, either. Perfect.

I'm wondering how much older L is? And exactly where this story takes place, although it is probably California and I just missed that.

Misa's kind of a cross between Shirley Temple and Lindberg.

L is young enough to be called a "boy detective" 3-6 years ago. Take it as you will. Misa is 17 and Light is 18 (I think that was implied this chapter). The city it takes place in is as illusory as Gotham, but I did some futzing with the dates and timeline and I can tell you it takes place in early 1939.

(Did you catch the really dumb name pun? I've got more of those coming.)

Seth Xeras = Zealous, the shinigami that died for Misa? I caught that it was the only non-Japanese name, but I couldn't figure out what the significance was.

::cough:: All the former shinigami have pun names. Seth is a pun on scythe. Told you it was bad.

That's some interesting history we have here. And yet again, you tease the audience by dangling the darker moments of L's past just out of our reach. Nicely done. I'm eager to read more.

And I'm now tormented by visions of what _I_ would write for the meeting in Note Blue Club. The thoughts make me twitchy. I look forward to finding out what your take on this part will be.

I love how this AU is progressing. Your world is so edgy and I can see how this new permutation of L would be hardened by it like the L in DN. Can't wait for more back story.

Alos, did you make your detective!L icon? It's lovely.

Thanks. I'm slowly working in the backstory, but I don't want to give away too much at once.

Yep, made it myself. I photoshopped it together from three pictures--early Watari in his detective gear, a picture of L's face, and another picture of his hair to cover a wordbubble.

XD Yay, there's another installment. I should really just put this on my friends list so I can catch the updates immediately.

L as Misa's fan is quite hilarious, and the image of Misa kicking him is perfect. I'm looking forward to reading about her reaction to Raito. ^_^
