Fanfic / Ragnarok (Skeptikitten)

Go To

Ragnarok by Skeptikitten is a Death Note AU Slash Fic in which a Serial Killer emerges in Japan basing his murders on Norse Mythology. NPA star-detective Light Yagami and the World's Greatest Detective L are both targets, and the case may lead to the end of the world for both of them.

Has nothing to do with the RPG of the same name or Thor: Ragnarok.


Ragnarok provides examples of:

  • And Your Little Dog, Too!: when L takes Light into protective custody, Loki instead begins targeting Light's friends and family.
  • Bodyguarding a Badass: After Loki challenges L and names Light Yagami as his future victim, L responds by forcibly taking Light into protective custody — a task that was easier planned then done since Light has a blackbelt in judo and doesn't feel he needs L's "protection", nor does he wish to put others at risk guarding him when he can take care of himself.
  • Boxed Crook: In this universe, "Kira" is a hacker that works for the NPA to avoid prison time.
  • Celibate Hero: Light hasn't been in a relationship with anyone for over a year, nor feels the need to have one.
  • Chaste Hero: L does not get sexual relationships. At all. Once when he was 16 and curious about why people make a big deal about sex, he had Watari procure for him the services of a couple of prostitutes. He never tried again.
  • Good Parents: When Souichiro caught onto his son's growing mental problems, he pulled him out of school and worked with him to help his mind heal, giving him training that actually stimulated his genius and encouraging him to experience more of the world and just be a teenager for a while. He also suggested Light take on a quasi-legal hobby like hacking in order to train him out of his growing Black-and-White Insanity.
  • The Nicknamer: Aizawa nicknames Light as "Bocchan" or "young master" in reference to his enormous ego.
  • Pastimes Prove Personality: L plays the piano and Light took singing lessons. L quips that Light must like hearing the sound of his own voice. Also Matt and Light bond over hacking.
  • Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: The codenames of Loki and his crew are all based off Gods from Norse Mythology; in his notes, Loki also refers to the Taskforce as Asgard, L as Odin, Mello and Matt as Huginn and Muninn, and Light as Balder.
  • The Sociopath: Discussed; Light worries he would have become a sociopath had his father not caught on to his growing mental problems and disgust with the world and intervened. Light still worries he might become one seeing as mental illness never fully goes away.
