For the first time, you realize. Living here had never been living at all. It was surviving behind bars.
__
Growing up in Wammy's House meant to never experience your childhood. Labeled "Number Three", your life only seemed to have a meaning if you were outstandingly brilliant and dedicated.
Called back into this mess by L himself, you arrive in Japan to assist in the most dangerous cases of all: The Kira case. Haunted by ghosts of your past and a broken heart.
Will you finally break free from this toxic cycle Wammy's House brought upon you? Or will it finally break you?

Smoke And Mirrors: L x Theatre Actor! Reader
You're fresh to the world of professional acting, although you've been training your whole life. Specifically, you have performed as several testimonies for mock trials at Wammy's House to help train L and his successors over the years. But now, he really needs you. L's most recent case entails several murders, in which all the victims were last seen with a particular suspect. To prove this man's guilt, L needs you to go undercover in order to get close to him and get concrete evidence or maybe even a confession. As the case drags on for longer than expected, L may begin to have a confession of his own... This is kinda a self-insert, but in case you're a broadway nut like me I made it an x reader so you can enjoy the ride. Also there's an original dude in this named Victor. Don't worry you'll like him. Any and all criticism is appreciated and welcome! I wrote this as a way to improve my own writing in a way that would motivate me. **BTW f/n stands for friend name and a/f/n stands for another friend name.**Complete
