Summary: Oneshot - In a world in that the darkness has won, Kiryu decides to claim his reward. But it wouldn’t hurt to lay down a few ground rules first.

(Reward was waiting for him, now that the war was won. Now that they had defeated the Signers, his reward, his one wish that he’d asked to be granted was waiting, here in the depth of their lair. )

Title: Aftermath
Author:Icey
Theme: #18b (~lost you forever)
Pairing/Characters: Kiryu Kyosuke, mentioning Fudo Yusei, Martha and Crow Hogan
Rating: PG
Notes:This is the fourth part of an AU named Martyr!verse that was created by northwind_gale. In this AU Yusei managed to convince Security that he was indeed Team Satisfaction leader, those getting arrested. The shot can be read as a stand alone but it makes more sense once you should read these three fics first ;D
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's. I don’t own Martyr!verse either; it’s northwind_gale's brainchild and I’ve been allowed to play with it.
Summary: Oneshot - He had lost the one person that had given him a second chance… and yet… using it seemed like betrayal.

(He had barley registered Crow and Ushio finding him that day, leaning sobbing against Yuseis bed, starring up to that awful ceiling…)

Title: A Clock, Ticking. (2/5)
Fandom: Death Note
Pairing: L/Light
Prompt: Double duty for prompts this time. Written for 20. Violence; War (~marriage of death) at 30_angsts; also written for the stagesoflove set: Five stages of grief: anger.
Warnings: Slash. Serious dub-con distinctions, implied non-con. I find myself in the position of needing that particular warning and urge readers to be careful and avoid this fic if you have any reason to suspect that may trigger you. Also, spoilers for the entire series. Set after the events of Book 7.
Rating: Adult.
Summary: Sex is a double edged sword, capable of cutting them both.
Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note. I'm not that smart.
A/N: Unbetaed. Also, this is a work of fiction that contains sexual interaction between two male characters. Note the part that says fiction before having hysterics, please.

I warned for this, but I feel the need to add another note urging readers to be careful. There are serious consent issues in this fic. I've wanted to explore this idea for a while, and have done so here, as I cannot help but feel that L and Light are inextricably caught in a power struggle and sex, to them, is simply another weapon. Of course, nothing is ever as it seems when it comes to these characters. Suffice it to say that they are both seriously fucked up and that plays out here.

As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated.
