Summary
"Let’s sit down and chat, Light-kun,” L said. He turned the kettle on. Grabbed a mug from the drying rack. “I’ll be direct. If you kill me, please do it yourself.”
“I’m not—this is ridiculous. Are you getting off on this, L?”
L shook his head. Not yet. “No. I simply don’t like the idea of it being so impersonal. We’ve gotten quite close, haven’t we, Light-kun?”
No answer. Hopefully Light was thinking about strangling L. If not strangling, maybe a knife. Gun would be acceptable, but bare hands and manual weapons were ideal. L would go for something simple. Hands around the neck. Light’s eyes, dark, crazy, staring into L’s as he crushed his windpipe. The only problem with strangulation was the lack of blood: there was something very dramatic about it. Maybe a knife in the gut first, if Light was in that sort of mood. Shock. Tachypnea. Slow ooze of liquid in his intestines and through his shirt. L could almost feel the wetness. Not to kill, just to color the scene.
The kettle whistled.

Summary
“Busy? What, having a playdate with your other friends? Awkward morning after? You should’ve told me. I’d have brought snacks,” Light said wryly. There it was. “L. Did you need me here today or not?”
“Mhm,” L said noncommittally. Light would only have to wait for—14-across was ‘oxeye’, so that made about a third complete—six more minutes. “Obscure synonym for furious.”
“Apoplectic,” said Light. “What?”

Summary
The thing is: while Root culls and beats many things out of its operatives—dreams, a need for praise, feelings, love, a self outside of what's called for—fear is the first. Fear is always the first; this is a fact of life. Sai takes a silent, shaky breath. All that exists is the mission.
But then, he thinks, what of the rest?

Summary
Wei Wuxian has become adept at ignoring the very fluttery feeling he gets in his chest whenever he thinks about Lan Zhan—but every cell in his body still snaps to attention when Nie Huaisang idly says, “Wow, Hanguang-jun is very handsome, huh?”
“What,” Wei Wuxian says. “No, I mean, yes obviously, no, what, haha?”

Summary
‘This isn’t Shiv walking in on us in the pool house. This isn’t, they found out we fucked in college. This is—they know. We’re in, you know.’
‘A relationship,’ Stewy says slowly. ‘R – e – l – a—’
‘A relationship.’ Losing his nerve again, he says, ‘An open relationship.’
‘Uh huh.’ Stewy looked amused. ‘Sure. I mean, so you keep saying, but I haven’t noticed you fucking anybody else in several generations, dude.’

Summary
“You have come to find me predictable, then,” Chaos said. They didn’t sound exactly offended—maybe calculating, or thoughtful, or their voice didn’t reflect any feeling at all, and he was merely projecting it onto them—but Zagreus felt a chill nonetheless. He imagined Poseidon wouldn’t take well to being told he was shallow and calm, or that Aphrodite would enjoy being told she was pretty but Only In A Friend Way.
“Not, uh, exactly predictable,” said Zagreus, and was cut off as the portal finally extracted the necessary life from him and he was slurped into the abyss.- Language:
