The Heart That Fed

Gen with background B/A Mello & L-focused Read on AO3 Contains: References to suicide In which L calls Mello to relay the facts of Beyond Birthday and the Los Angeles BB Murder cases. Stories always change with the speaker. So L makes the story nice, when he tells it. Or at least as nice as it can be, with three dead and its protagonist still missing, presumed dead. He makes it the way he wants it to be.

Mello is demonstrably capable of killing, and has perhaps more reason to want Near dead than anyone else on the face of the earth. They were once rivals, and Near knows a fragment of that resentment lingers even now. She is also likely the only person who could successfully bring Mello to justice, so her very existence is a threat to Mello’s, in a sense. If that weren’t enough, there is the fact that Mello could make a fortune, too, were she to kill Near. There are no shortage of people who would pay a handsome sum to see L’s head on a platter. And it would be so simple for her to do it, so easy. She’s had countless opportunities— the two of them alone, Near in all kinds of vulnerable positions, any number of potentially deadly weapons within reach— but she’s never taken one. Despite having every possible motive and every possible chance, Mello has not killed her. On more than one occasion, she’s even protected Near. This is how she knows Mello loves her in her way, even if she has not said it aloud. Even if it isn’t enough to make her stay. -- Mello and Near through the years, in love and in agony.

love this spunky little dude

several times a day i will come across a post that i would otherwise agree with about a Thing Being Bad but it is unfortunately like inexplicably linked to a reactionary societal decay narrative for like no reason whatsoever

also i'm so sorry besties but i think i'm cannibalizing the what doesn't kill me rework for bury us both purposes. forgive me. i cannot make that fucking story work even though i love it to actual pieces and have it largely outlined lmao

huge problem i have sometimes is not remembering if i've used a piece of dialogue before in a posted work or if it lives exclusively in my WIP folder. oh well!!

yippee

college au or soulmate au?

i'm more of a sucker for college AUs <3 i don't mind soulmate AUs, but i feel they're trickier to execute in some ways -- and as far as writing goes, i've had like 5000000 college AU ideas and, like, zero soulmate AU ideas [though ik this is about reading!]

send me "this or that" fanfic tropes and i'll tell you which i'd rather read

...enemies-to-lovers OR rivals-to-lovers? (assuming in both cases that BOTH parties understand their relationship status as such.)

oh omg this is such a great question. TRICKY CALL but i think i'm going to go with enemies to lovers because of the increased drama factor of it all >:) ofc it totally depends on the ship, but i think that's the case for basically all tropes :3

@ the anon who sent the ask about my versions of fem!near & the power dynamic: i went on a horrendously long tangent that i cannot possibly post without looking like a total clown, but it's an intriguing thought! i overall actually think that near's degree of calculating behavior / scheming has more to do with the length of the story and the initial setup than the genderswap configuration.

i spend an embarrassing amount of time thinking about the mellonear power dynamic in different scenarios, and i feel that near is only really calculating if they feel like they need to be. since i have more nonswap stories that feature a non-established relationship and a higher word count, i would actually say that nonswap near is more calculating in my works on the whole, but it's a tricky comparison due to the inequal volume.
