Title: Ghost Rating: PG-13 Characters: Near, Mello, Hal Warnings: Just Mello's potty mouth. Word Count: 1090 Summary: Near has held imaginary conversations with Mello before, but it's unsettling when Mello starts answering. Notes: Written for dn_contest's "hallucination" week. This is sort of a prequel to Wind, and is set in the same 'verse.
Title: The Convention at the End of the Universes Rating: PG-13 for swearing Characters: Matt, Mello, Todd Wainio (from World War Z) Warnings: Crackiness and crossover-iness (with a lot of things, but mostly WWZ), and technically AU, since they don't go to Mu. Word Count: 3350 Notes: This is an idea I've had for a while, and I finally got off my ass to finish it for dn_contest. :D
Title: Things Left Behind Rating: PG-13 Characters: Mello, Matt Warnings: Swearing Word Count: 1030 Summary: That adolescent impatience he once felt, that certainty his real life hadn't started yet, and that when it did, it would be dramatic and thrilling and twenty times more interesting than Near's... it makes him chuckle bitterly now. Notes: Written for dn_contest's "everyday life" prompt. Thanks as usual to vashti for her pre-post sanity check!
Title: Belief Rating: PG Characters: Light, Sayu, Sachiko Warnings: None, really Word Count: 733 Notes: I've been getting Light plot bunnies with alarming frequency lately! Thanks to vashti for looking it (and the second one!) over pre-post.
Title: Winter Rating: PG-13 Characters: Mello, Matt Warnings: Swearing and real names Word Count: 810 Summary: He'd wonder later if Mello could possibly have known how right he was. Notes: I was delighted to find that there was a total lunar eclipse visible in the UK the night all the Higuchi stuff went down, and I had to write something that used it.
Title: A Girl Thing Rating: PG-13 Characters: girl!Mello, Linda, Matt, Near Warnings: Swearing and genswitch Word Count: 905 Notes: Some girl!Mello for dn_contest's week #66: puberty. Thanks to my intrepid beta, vashti, and usual apologies to anyone seeing it twice.
Title: Hope and Candle-Wax Rating: PG-13 Characters: Mello, Matt Warnings: Swearing and some blood Word Count: 1700 Notes: Written for dn_contest. Usual apologies to anyone seeing it twice. :-) The Slovenian translates as "May God guide your steps better than I can," and the title and cut text are from "Icarus Wind" by Thea Gilmore. Thanks to vashti for beta-ing!
Title: Five Ways Mello Found Secret Passageways at Wammy's House Fandom: Death Note Characters: Mello/Matt, a wee dash of one-sided Mello/L, and Near's in it too. :-) Rating: PG-13ish Summary: When he was 12, Mello decided he'd find all the secret passages in the House.
