Why this must be read:

Jenwryn is a giant of the Death Note fandom, so it was difficult choosing just one story from Jenwryn's prolific works (a limit that I've personally set during this reccing session to give exposure to as many authors as possible). As She Is stuck in my mind long after I'd read it, and I ultimately chose it because of this memorable quality, because it shortly and sweetly encapsulates Jenwryn's writing style where fluff and Death Note somehow mesh perfectly, and because it is a Yuri pairing, very rare in the Death Note fandom.

In this fluffy, sentimental story Misa falls deeply in love with Sayu while caring for her during a long illness...
