( but don't drown in it too ) ..... complete ! because light yagami has always known that, in another life, he and l were bound by a red string of fate. and possibly, that red string of fate wouldn't be tinted red with blood, but instead with roses. © melloraie 2021

[originally from AO3] lawlight!au Actor!Light + Director!L Death Note AU where Light is an overly dedicated actor, L is a director who pushes his actors to their limits through method acting. Light has to portray a charming killer and now he's more than willing to go off the deep end for his art.

"As long as you and I are chained together, we share the same fate..." Fate is a strange thing, whether believed or not. Some bonds are too strong to be forgotton, some are too beautiful to last. A new era, a new world, a new god. Was it the will of God, the delusion of grandeur of one man or perhaps the boredom of a god of death? Light Yagami has been reborn in this world with a new life, a new mission - however so has L Lawliet. A shinigami has left a notebook in the human world, and a new god has awakened and his order are waiting his command. Will they reunite as friends, or as enemies once again?
