Title: Bittersweet, on the Tongue (Sensory Deprivation 5/5)
Fandom: Death Note
Pairing: L/Light
Prompt: 102 - Thus Spoke Zarathustra at tamingthemuse; also written for 3. Hand phone; cell phone; mobile phone (~a call from heaven) at 30_angsts; also written for the stagesoflove set: Exploring a relationship through the five senses prompt taste.
Warnings: Slash. Spoilers for the first part of the series.
Rating: Adult.
Summary: Despite the chaos of his life, L liked routine.
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. Finally, the five parts of Sensory Deprivation will all be unified in a single story arc spanning the characters growing obsession with each other throughout the series, but I am hoping that each part stands well enough on its own to be a complete story. I'd love to know if you think that I managed it. This is the last part of this story and I surprised myself by not bringing it quite to the end. This story also ended up being almost entirely from L's POV. I may add an epilogue. We shall see. :)

Thanks to everyone who stayed with me as I wrote this! I hope you enjoyed it.

As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated.
