Perfectly Hollow by Silver Pard (T, which is probably PG-13)
Fandom: DEATH NOTE
Pairing: none
Length: ~3000
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Fanfiction.net
Why this must be read:
One of the most popular subjects in Death Note AU fanfics is "What if Light never found the death note?"
This is an AU fanfic with that premise, but it subverts all the usual expectations you might have. It's not a sappy piece of fluff, instead it's angsty and deeply thoughtful. It is probably the most subversive by creating a universe where L and Light never meet, since non-Kira Light and L meeting is generally the prime focus of most AU fics of this type.
It's a character study of the two, especially of the personality flaws each one has, and the way they almost need each other as enemies in order for each to have an equal to strive against.
