rionaleonhart: death note: light contemplates picking up this mysterious notebook. i'm sure it'll be fine. (here at the crossroads)
I've never written any sort of fanfiction about soulmates before! I don't even typically read fanfiction about soulmates, so please forgive me if I've steamrolled over all the conventions of the genre.

A couple of weeks ago, I saw this Tumblr post by [tumblr.com profile] winter-literature, envisioning Light and L discovering they're soulmates when they're handcuffed together. This fic doesn't entirely follow the scenario laid out in that post, but the post was the inspiration for it.

Please enjoy this fic about extremely toxic soulmates trying to destroy each other.
