Fandom: Death NoteTitle: Amaranth and Rose
Author: YearOfTheKitty
Summary: Light didn't expect to wake up as a cat-person, and certainly not to be sent to an alternate world that defies all logic. Even worse is the army intent on his death, and his allies aren't much better. Full summary inside.
Rating: T
Pairings: LxLight but very, VERY mild (wouldn't have read it otherwise), claims to be MelloxMatt but does not contain even an implication of such a pairing.
Link: Amaranth and RoseA really awesome fantasy AU. Rather Abarat-ish, come to that, only more conventional fantasy.
Title: Redivivus
Author: Silver Pard
Summary: The most important thing Ryuk learned watching Light Yagami was how to follow the rules to the letter and still break them.

Title: Blind
Author: Tai Ping
Summary: One must picture a person’s face to kill them using the Death Note. Then, it could be presumed, that it was very fortunate or perhaps unfortunate that Yagami Raito was born blind.

Aiwritingfic does great Hikaru no Go fanfiction.
The One Called Demetra is great for crack/satire. One of the best crack/sarcasmthors on FF.net, in my opinion. She uses it as a weapon, rather like Doug Piranha of the Pirahna brothers. ("Everybody was scared 'o Doug. Even Dinsdale [Pirahna] was scared of Doug." "Well--why was everyone so afraid of Doug?" "'E used--[gulp]--
sarcasm.")
JealousOfTheMoon has a rather nice collection of Narnia/Tolkien fanfiction, especially a series called the Canon Keepers.
You can tell I read too much fanfiction, can't you?
