„Write, write, write, I’m gonna write for Light-Kun,“ Misa sings while she’s sitting at her desk and continues to write down one name after another into the Death Note, all the while humming a melody. Her smile is bright and her eyes shine even brighter when she ponders on how much she can help Light-Kun with this, and how much he will love her afterwards.

Misa is oblivious to Rem who stands behind her and watches the girl’s every move, feeling nothing but helplessness and pity.

Light Yagami will never love you, the female shinigami thinks and sighs soundlessly. But it doesn’t matter how many times Rem tries to tell Misa, she would have none of it. “If Rem continues to talk like this about Light-Kun, Misa will be very unhappy.”

But sometimes Misa says something very unlike herself – a few words, a fragment of insight – and then Rem thinks that maybe the girl is totally aware of the fact that Light is just using her for his own schemes … and that she simply doesn’t mind.

Rem closes her eyes and sighs again. She will do anything she can to protect this girl, but what can she do if Misa decides to dance on the edge of the gaping abyss named Light Yagami, when she laughs and whirls around only to close her eyes at one point … and jump into it willingly?

Augh, this captures them so well. Misa being upbeat and doing everything to earn Light's love, Rem being helpless in the face of it but quietly honouring Misa's wishes. It unearths the heartache I used to have for this hopeless pairing.

This paragraph is just... yes, all of this. I loved that Misa wasn't as stupid as she acted.

And I think the quote you incorporated into the fic is so fitting for Misa. Well chosen!

Hey, Dear.

Although I don't have any idea of this fandom, I kinda wanted to review your lovely prompt fill. Haha.

It's not what I expected, when I prompted this, but it's great.
I really like the ending, because -it's perfect.

Yeah, I dunno and maybe this review is just a piece of shit, but I wanted to say,that I really, really like your fill.

Thanks for that!

Love, Kate. <3
