Here's an overview of our fifth batch of five drabbles for @thedrabblecollective's challenge! All 100 words, all up on AO3 :3

21- diary [G] Death Note (possibly one-sided Mello/Near, 2009 in manga timeline, item description)

Mello’s childhood diary sits forgotten.

22- table [G] Inception (Eames character study)

They each prepare for the job in different ways.

23- witch [T] Death Note (Mello/Near, successor arc era, witch!Near – based on @neallo's a will, a way)

“By the time I was faced with my work, it had been years since I had done magic of any kind.”

24- school [G] Death Note (Matt/Mello/Near, "they're all domestic aquatic animals" AU, not quite crack but not serious)

In which our now-aquatic OT3 live out a wonderful life in a suitable habitat with proper enrichment.

25- windscreen [G] Death Note (Matt/Mello/Near, post-canon, alive Matt & Mello, stream of consciousness)

Mello is taking his sweet time with the Christmas shopping.

Looking forward to: Book club and writing sprints (two separate events) tomorrow.

Current obsession(s): Death Note (the MelloNears in particular)

I read the whole story only yesterday and I am not only impressed but also shocked. This is probably the best fic I've ever read in my life. I felt the need to get in touch as someone who is interested in writing I story telling.

I plan to engage in writing, learn how to express myself properly and describe the event as precisely as possible, so that I capture the essence, do not repeat words and portray the characters realistically. So that when I read the story later, I want to insert myself into it in a such way that I have the feeling that it is actually happening. That's exactly what Neallo succeeded in doing.

Here are some comments on the writing:

1) Each of the characters has its own character that is upgraded on the simpler basis of what we have in manga and anime

2) The scenes are described extremely precisely with a lot of details and without unnecessary embellishments.

3) The realism of absolutely everything, from the reactions and behavior of the characters to the entire course of events. Without any dull fantastic moments.

4) Perfectly depicted behavior and thinking of young people with extraordinary intelligence, living in the modern age

5) Sex scenes are described without any exaggeration, without sugarcoating, just the way sex really looks like in real life

6) Thoughts of characters are very human-like

8) Characters in different states, sober and drunk, perfectly described

9) Gracefully introduced internal struggles and conflicts of the main character (Mello) without exaggeration, exactly the way people think and face their own problems

10) Mat's character was lit in all scenes
