For example

This is The House, obviously. Light’s universe. Light’s point of view and incapability to see good in people. His judgement of people who act just exactly like he does.

I mean, “This place is a circus, you just see the surface, they cover shit under the rug, you can’t see they’re faking, they’ll never be naked”.

This circus of gossip, L and Light both playing these dirty hypocrisy games, ew, disgusting, I wonder what will be next :D

This is 100% L’s song. He is just always running. Afraid of being alone, stopping for a moment, because then he’ll see all the wrongs he has done.

I love the part “I’m a lion tamer of indecent behaviour, making love with danger, it’s not gonna heal me, but at least I like it and I don’t wanna change it”, like, L, is that you? :D

I hate and love how desperate this song sounds. I think this song shows really well Light’s and L’s hunger for belonging. They want to keep that feeling they have between them, but unfortunately, not one of them is committed enough, not one of these two is really ready to work on themselves and make sacrifices.

Those!L and Those!Light remind me so much of Perilaus and Phalaris.

Perilaus designed a new torture device, a bronze bull. I won’t go into details, it’s quite disturbing. He presented it to king Phalaris, hoping to be rewarded. Instead, Perilaus was made the first victim of his own invention, because Phalaris was “disgusted” by his cruelty. Well, and later Phalaris continued to use this device.

Oh the hypocrisy of king Phalaris and the naive entitlement of poor Perilaus.

It’s Perilaus’s part of the story, or Those!L’s that gives me chills.

If you choose to serve to Moloch, be prepared to become a sacrifice one day.

I am very sceptical about “yes, he is cruel to other people, but he is good to me” thing. Love changes the core of a person, or nothing changes at all. And if it’s latter, one day feelings are going to fade away, or you are going to have a bad fight, or something will happen, and the illusion will be broken. You are going to be the next victim.

Those!L loves to play with fire, but somehow he missed the moment when the whole place around him was caught on fire.

Although I’m not sure if I feel much sympathy towards him. Those!L, just like Perilaus, wasn’t really a victim.

It took me a week of tears, nausea and depression.

Please, be aware, that something I say here might be a spoiler.

I don’t typically read anything Lawlight related, but this is a political AU, and characters are different from canon, so it got me interested.

I was stunned by the Author’s ability to unapologetically make characters make the worst choices (which are completely in character for them and make them…real people).

I don’t know if I could be that brave to navigate characters through relationships that will never going to work, unless they change, and they don’t want to. It hurts so much to read. I wished I could slap these two (Light and L) in their faces so they come to their senses and break up or start to work on themselves.

There is nothing healthy, and it feels like I was forced to watch the Ancient Rome burning. There is no blue sky, just roaring fire, smoke and destruction.

I must mention my special love to B, he was like a breath of fresh air whenever he appeared.

I really want to talk much about this fanfic. I don’t know if I should though. The characters have depth, and I must say I’ve even learned things about my own life while thinking about what I’ve read.
