Good vs Evil by subdivided (rated K+, which is probably PG)
Hello! I'll be driving the anime/manga crack van for March, for the Death Note fandom. My first rec is below, but I'm also working on a fandom overview and hope to post that soon as well.
My plan is to try to show you a mix of different styles, authors and types of stories, with all of the recs being some of the best fanfics the Death Note fandom has to offer. I'm going to try to divide my recs into roughly half being gen-fics (with no significant sexual/romantic overtones) and the rest being a variety of pairings, but with some concentration on the more popular pairings.
I'm also trying to divide my attention between authors who have loads of high-quality Death Note fanfics and authors who have little or nothing other than what I've recced. Some of these authors have produced so much good material for the fandom that it is a real struggle to only rec one of their fics, but I'm committed to that. You won't see any author recced twice this month. Some other authors have produced so little that what they have produced is not as easy for fans to find, since these authors don't have a following. By reccing them here, I hope to give their fics more of the attention that they truly deserve.
Fandom: DEATH NOTE
Pairing: none
Length: ~1000

Why this must be read:
This fanfic is old, but it's never been recced before and it is one of the best Death Note gen-fics I have ever read.
It's short enough that I can't say much about it without ruining the full experience of reading it, but I can say that it's a character study, a look into L's mind and, to a lesser extent, it is also a look into Light's mind and Matsuda's mind. It is also one of those rare fanfics that is completely and utterly compatible with canon. There is an event mentioned in canon that is never shown, and this fanfic is a short but sweet elaboration of that event. It's also a bit on the cute side, but not overly cutesy.
