Fanfic / Light and Dark The Adventures of Dark Yagami

The characters from the series... sort of.

"Some guy told me that im on Tv Tropes now which is like a wikipedia but for tv or something! THIS A FAMOUS STORY BUT I WONT LET IT GOT TO MY HEAD EVEN IF IM AWSEOM! Im not on tv but i guess death note is and thats why they licked it?"

— The author when he found out about us.

Light and Dark The Adventures of Dark Yagami (apparently written completely unpunctuated) is a Death Note fanfic in the same way My Immortal is a Harry Potter fanfic. It was written by D'arkYagam'i, the prolific author of many other fics including Pain Note The Ressurekshun of Ray Pember! and The God of Time With No Name Lights Real Name!. Similar to the Death Note fanfiction "Gofic Love Note" (the anime of which can be found here).

It focuses on Dark Yagami, Light's twin brother who trained at Whammy House but is secretly Kira... at first. The story meanders to such an extent that any possible summary would be almost irrelevant by the third chapter, by which point Light's sister Sayu is "sexing" with Misa to steal her Death Note for her dad, who has taken Watari's job because Dark told him to but is secretly working for L. Later he goes to prison and then comes back and becomes King of the Shinigami before time travelling to France to kill Near to stop a time paradox. So... yeah.

While it's not renowned on the internet like other troll fics, it's safe to say that this fanfiction is on par with works such as the aforementioned My Immortal, DOOM: Repercussions of Evil, and Half-Life: Full Life Consequences. The author later wrote a crossover with The Hunger Games called The Hunger Note Games, in which Dark Yagami participates in the titular games.

Has four complete dramatic readings, by The Holy Cabbage (lots of MSTing), Lord Starfish (no MSTing except in annotations and the occasional snarky remark at the end of a chapter) and Mutant Museum (formerly manwithoutabody), as well as a reading of the Spanish-translated version by RanguGamer. There are several unfinished ones, including ReteikiAndYuma, hanfern, OperationGoChan (acted out with action figures), Temascos (with snarky slideshows), and Pamachu Productions. It's also inspired three fan-written sequels – Returning of D'ark, Light and Dark DEUX, and SAD GOODBYES – a Round Robin post game, and a Protectors of the Plot Continuum mission.

On October 25, 2015, the author returned with a Halloween special titled Darker Yagami - Dark Yagami gets Dark. On October 30, 2016, he made another Halloween special titled Keijo Note Dark Yagami and the Haunted Chest. He continued to write other spin-offs, including B--B NOTE Dark Yagami's Jinglyest Jugglyest Day, Gambling Note Dark gos to Vegas, The Kira Olimpics, The Reveng of A-Kira? Samanthers Surprise!, and Dark Yagami's Lesbean Quest.

This fanfic contains examples of:

• Abnormal Ammo: There are several firearms that fire not bullets, but objects that are significantly larger than the weapon that fired them. Near the end of the story, Light's Mom somehow bakes a bread gun that fires rabbits.
• Added Alliterative Appeal: "'BLOODY THANK YOU YOU BUMBLING BUGGER' he britished playing with his beardy thing."
• All Just a Dream: The 78th (approximately) Hunger Games.
• All There in the Manual: The author's twitter will occasionally update us on the state or whereabouts of characters, such as Ryuk dying in a car accident/poisoning before being resurrected by Blud.
• An Arm and a Leg: Late in the story, Soichiro and Watari end up fighting. Watari punches one of Soichiro's arms away, and the latter cuts one of Watari's arms. This happens twice, and it ends with Soichiro and Watari wondering how to keep fighting without arms.
• Anime Hair: Du'Arq's hairstyle as Shinigami king, described as "dark black rainbow hair".
• Anti-Climax:
  • L simply arrests Dark and Night before they can sing the song that ends the world. Except that they already did it.
  • The creepy dude is randomly hit by a meteor during the confrontation with him. Granted this is also the introduction of Khaos...who is ultimately defeated when Dark finds a "Reset Note" and time travels back to before he became a threat and just kills him off then.
  • The final ten chapters completely subvert it, though.
• Anyone Can Die: Apparently the point of chapter 40. D'ark even gives us this handy death tally:
  DAWN killed by CYBERKATAKDA!
  TWILIGHT killed by HAL!
  SOICHIROS GOLDFISH killed by COOL DUDE PEEING IN THE TANK!
  CYBERTAKADA sexed to death by SAYU!
  SOICHIRO and WATARI killed by THEM
  SAMANTHER outsceinced by NIGHT!
  RAY killed by RUBBLE!
  NEAR killed by DAY!
  COOL DUDE killed by BLUD KING OF THE SHINIGAMI!
  Also Day got punched by L while he was tying his shoes!
• Apocalypse How: Class 6 by the end.
• Arbitrary Skepticism
  • Surprisingly lampshaded and averted.
    Dark: Do ghosts exits?
    Blud: THEY DO NOT MY GOOD YOUNG FREND BECOS THAT SORT OF THING IS IMPOSABLE?
    Dark: But ur a shinigami aren’t you imposable too?
    Blud: NO COS THIS IS THE DEATH NOT WORLD WHERE SHINIGAMI ARE POSABLE
  • It turns out ghosts do exist in that world, though.
  • Ghosts don exits?
• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking
  • In his evil base, Light has "computers and lasers and a nuclear and an xbox 360".
  "You killed my son and my daughter and you had sex with her in lights bed and you came in my house all naked and you DIDN'T WASH YOUR HANDS BEFORE DINNER"
  [P]eople cried more until there was hurricanes and flooding and ducks everywhere stealing peopls' bread.
  "The sofa and the tv and soichiros favorite coffee table all got smashed to bits. Ray pember joined in the smashing and broke a book."
• Artistic License – Biology
  • There's no way Watari can be brought back to life from BULLET WOUNDS thanks to CPR (alone, that's all the "explanation" given) at least a month after being shot and killed. The human body does not work like that.
  • This might be a Shout-Out to Red vs. Blue.
  • Also, Dark apparently grows a mustache while changing his clothes.
  • If you fall twenty feet onto a barbecue that's lit, you won't be in any danger of catching on fire if you have an erection. Okay, that probably isn't what the author meant by "he was hard", but it's difficult to read it differently.
  • If you cut your hair, don't wear make-up, and get a tattoo that says "IM A DUDE", you will look like a man. Even if you're a woman. And you're naked.
  • If your arms are injected with poison, you can "gargle all the poison out" and just spit it out.
• Artistic License – Geography
  • First off, Wales (or, rather, "whales") is not a town in England as the author would have you believe.
  • Loch Ness (or Loch nes, as the author calls it,) doesn't adjoin it, either! And it's impossible to get the Tube there either.
  • How can a car chase through Paris end with someone flying over the river Thames, which is in England?
  • Even better, Dark jumps down from the 'Eyfal' Tower and lands in the 'Tames'. It's either this trope or Dark has incredible jumping abilities.
  • Also, L and Watari take a taxi instead of their helicopter to go from Wales to the USA...
  • Lesbos is an island where everyone is a lesbian.
• Artistic License – Geology:
  • "The comet SMASHED into the sea and no one knew what it was cos it was like a new island so they called it AUSTRALIA"
  • Apparently Japan was also created by a comet.
• Artistic License – History
  • When Dark goes back in time by 4 days to kill Near again, he takes him to his "wherehouse / Whorehouse" and reveals he had it built when Watari was Queen (which hasn't happened yet) 6 MILLION YEARS AGO. Before we can even confirm humans even existed, let alone built stuff.
  • Guy Forks was shot there.
  • And Light's parents grew up in the Middle Ages. And had glasses. And Shakespeare. And fanfiction.
  • Shakespeare was the King of England. And since that was before the Declaration of Independence, he was king of the whole world.
    and a nuclear that L had stealed from the japan army.
  • Japan does not have nuclear weapons, for obvious reasons. Or an army for that matter (it only has Self-Defense Forces).
• Artistic License – Nuclear Physics
  • The amount of things wrong with this sentence is...stunning.
  They all hit a tanker and it was carring nuclears so when it went up it made a massive fireball that chased Near and Dark down the streets burning everything in its path.
  • Only exemplified by this sentence shortly afterward. One has to wonder if the bomb was incredibly underpowered or if Soichiro's car is made of some sort of indestructible material.
  "MY CAR!" lights dad scream looking at the scratch in the paint that the nuclear bom had made.
• Artistic License – Physics
  • Near is not only capable of blocking a sniper's bullet with a shot of his way less powerful gun, but also of destroying the sniper's sight that was on top of the Eiffel Tower.
  • For some strange reason, when the boats of Dark and L ran out of fuel, they started to sink, contradicting the Archimedes' principle.
• Asshole Victim:
  • Attempted with Dark attacking Near...except despite what we're told, Near never does anything deserving of his kicking.
  • A retcon in a later chapter reveals that Near used a Blind Note to stop Light seeing a naked woman and tricked Light into killing Taylor Swift. The author specifically states that he introduced these concepts to make Near deserving of this kicking. And calls us "doushy" for it.
• Author Avatar: Dark Yagami has the same name as his creator and probably represents him.
• Awesome, but Impractical:
  • Night kills people by tattooing their names on her skin, which would take an incredibly long time - not to mention she'd have the names of her victims visible all the time. While it's described as an incredible power, as early as the next chapter, its flaws were made apparent in how Near was killed before her tattoo was finished.
  • Also, the "father detector" used by Watari explodes when it gives back a result.
• Ax-Crazy: Soichiro. In addition to swearing on a regular basis, he interrogates Mikami in one scene by holding a knife to his neck "like The Joker".
• Back from the Dead: At this point, the question is not whether a character comes back from the dead, but whether they come back completely alive or undead.
• Been There, Shaped History: After using a time puddle to travel to the past and replace Watari with Near (who is a clone), L laughs so hard he starts "the fire of London".
• Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Or in this case, William Shakespeare was a Kira. And King of England.
• BFG
  • Matsuda's "police gun". On its highest setting, it fires whole police cars!
  • Since he's "the chef", Soichiro's police gun takes this even further: it can fire tanks, battleships and police trains.
• Bigger Is Better in Bed:
  • When he becomes a Shinigami the size of a bus, he gets a "man thingy" as big as a bus and twice as wide. This means that it comprises two thirds of his total body mass. It doesn't seem to affect his sex life, though.
  • And in the spinoff Pain Note The Ressurekshun of Ray Pember!, Blud is mentioned as having a penis the size of a SUBWAY TRAIN.
• Big "NO!": L when Dark takes over the world, and Watari after he loses his status as queen.
• *Bleep*-dammit!: Constant use of the word "f-ck."
• Blood Magic: Dark uses Near's blood to make the Anti-Life Note.
• Boarding School of Horrors
  • Whammy House seems to be this in the epilogues. Watari stuffs Dark and Night into a box labelled "BORING STUFF DO NOT X-RAY" to take them on a plane.
  • Roger the caretaker is even worse:
    • "All he said was "I HATE CHILDREN" all the time and laughed like an evil man and didn't give them some more at meal times and did creepy things with his dog."
    • "GO TO BED YOU STINKING BRATS OR I WILL TURN YOUR ARSES INTO chicken tikka masala (its a britishy Indian food! Its red LIKE BLOOD. MAYBE IT IS BLOOD?) AND SERVE IT BACK TO YOU ON A PLATE MADE OF THE QUEENS HATS" roared roger.
• Boomerang Bigot: Dark tries to turn his anti-lesbian Evil Twin Dark Dark into a lesbian by giving him boobs with a Boob Note. However, this fails since having boobs doesn't make him a woman.
• Bottomless Magazines: Dark has a gun that holds 100,000 bullets. On one hand, it's not breaking any established limits, but on the other hand, it's far too many for a real gun to have.
• Brick Joke: In chapter 7, Soichiro's car gets the pain scratched from a nuke. In chapter 34, when THE BIGGEST NUCLEAR IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD strikes, one of the effects is that Soichiro's car gets completely smashed.
• Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: When Day is exiled to the attic, he is attacked by "ghosts and rats and ghost rats".
• Breaking the Fourth Wall:
  • In chapter 10, Dark is confused about seeing Naomi in England, and asks her if she was supposed to be dead since chapter 4.
  • The author himself claims to be the one who told Dark and Night they are siblings. This doesn't stop Dark from being utterly dumbfounded when Night tells him they're related.
• Bullet Time: "She pulled the gun and a bullet went out. Everything went all matrixy"
• Butt-Monkey
  • Near. It's even invoked at one point.
  • Light slowly becomes one of these as well.
  • Naomi, too.
• Call-Back: At the end of chapter 9, the author announces that the next chapter will feature a Kaiju battle between Shinigami!Dark and Shinigami!Sayu, only to drop the idea shortly afterwards. Then, in chapter 17, they actually challenge each other to a duel.
  Sayu: TIME FOR THAT SHINIGAMI FIGHT I THOGHT WAS DUM EARLYER!
• Camp Gay: Light.
  That sounds laaaaaaaaameeeeeee!shrieked light balleting into the room. "You need to find a way to make something I need LIKE HAIR GEL"
• Canon Character All Along: A few examples in the ending. Dark is actually the past version of Soichiro, who loses his memory and becomes his own father. Meanwhile, Samanther, a girl from Watari House introduced in the final arc, is revealed to be both Light’s Mom and The Girl From The Bus. Blud and Creepy Dude/Chick are somehow revealed to be Light at the very end.
• Cardboard Prison: Dark breaks out of prison quite easily with the help of his Royal Death Note.
• Charles Atlas Superpower: Like much of the story's craziness, this trope is not evident in earlier chapters. However, nearly all of the primary and secondary characters perform ridiculously superhuman feats at some point or another. Examples include Light's Mom punching zombies' heads off, Ckira causing a police car to explode by throwing a knife at it, Watari shrugging off getting hit by a tank fired from Soichiro's police gun, and Dark punching Blud so hard that the shockwaves start to destroy the Shinigami world.
• Chew Bubblegum: Imhere to sex up L and bake cup cakes and im all out of cupcakes which is why I need to bake them!
• Christmas Episode: Chapter 40... isn't an example. But the author tells us to imagine it as one anyways, such as having Watari dressed as a Christmas tree during the action scenes.
• Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: An endemic disease in the Light and Dark universe. Blud manages to quintuple-cross Dark, before Dark double-crosses him back.
• Cluster F-Bomb
  • Soichiro does this more than once.
  Soichiro:: "YOU F-CKING F-CKED UP F-CKER WHO F-CKS F-CKS TELL ME WHERE THE F-CKING LIFE NOTE IS AND DON'T LIFE NOTE THAT F-CKING F-CK NIGHT YAGAMI BAK TO F-CKING LIVE OR ILL BREAK YOUR OTHER F-CKING BREADMAKER!"
  "WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF! WHAT F-CKING F-CKED UP F-CKING F-CK F-CKING F-CKER OF A F-CKER F-CKING M-TH-RF-CKING F-CK F-CK F-CK F-CK DID YOU F-CKING MAKE MY DORTER PREGNANT?"
• Cool Car: The NASBUS, which "had a nuclear for an engine and another nuclear for the headlights which were so bright that it set the road on fire."
• CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable: The first two chapters establish that Dark shot Watari dead, before chapter 8 revealed Watari recieved CPR and survived the gunshots. It's never said who administered it, nor is it suggested Watari suffered any after-effects from the bullet wounds or CPR.
• Creator Provincialism: The very first line of the fanfic places Light Yagami as an American.
• Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon: "SHUT UP RUYK OR I WILL PUT A MAYPOLE INTO YOUR SKULL AND MAKE THE KIDDIES DANCE OVER YOUR FACE"
• A Death in the Limelight: Matsuda only gets one chapter in which he's relevant, and dies at the end of it.
• Death Is Cheap: Characters constantly come back from the dead, either deliberately through the Life Note or by plain Negative Continuity.
• Department of Redundancy Department
  • ""Why yes dear boy" answered dark coshing him over the head with a cosh."
  • Or how about the "paint that the janitor used to paint things with"?
  • "He was eating bananas like Ruyk ate apples but they were blood bananas made of blood."
    • "poison bananas made of poison"
    • "He kept the blood bananas in a special case because other people might eat them thinking they were not blood bananas and get a mouth full of blood banana and blood."
  • "I am Dark Yagami. You look sexyed. I am Dark Yagami."
  • Apparently, "Matsuda saw it".
  • "The nuclear bom went off like a bom"
  • "Suddenly he stopped suddenly.''
  • "There was some rules in the front but he figured how it worked anyway because he was a genius and worked it out."
  • "like when people die in romeo and julyt when they die"
  • Blud watched the action unfold from his sky bass in the sky
  • He grew like a mushroom in a mushroom farm
  • [...] THE CLONING MACHINE BUT BASICALLY IT'S A MACHINE THAT MAKES CLONES
  • A bunch of red lights went red
  • "The secret weapon is pretty damn secret."
  • Outside he saw a shadowy shadow shadowing away in the shadows.
  • ...who was slimy and smelly and smelled like slime.
  • "Blud looked at the royal death note that sat in his hands like an evil book sitting in his hands."
• Deus Sex Machina: In chapter 34, the Creepy Chick is revealed to be able to time travel via "lots of sexing".
• Did Not Do the Bloody Research: Most of what Watari says. "THAT FOOLISH WANKER DA'URQ IS IN NEW YORK AND HES KILLING SOME POOR SODS!"
• Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Dark is able to defeat Blud in hand-to-hand combat, right after Blud destroys the universe by just spitting.
• Dissimile: A machine described as being like a time machine turns out to be a machine used to enter people's dreams. What's the connection between the two?
• Distracted by the Sexy: The lesbian soccer team that Dark recruits from the showers to defeat Dark Dark quickly gets distracted from the fight after seeing each other naked, and starts having sex with each other.
• Don't Explain the Joke
  • Many times, like when Sayu comes out of the closet to blackmail Misa into having sex with her, or chapter 16's title "Good night Night ITS A PUN."
  • Every time Near is mentioned, something or someone is "near" him. The author feels the need to point this out explicitly.
  • Also used in chapter 3: "Once Misa was alone Sayu came out the closet (get it!? : P )."
• Doomy Dooms of Doom:
  "So it could be anyone? We are doomed! Doooomed! Dooooooomed!" wailed Light like a baby who licked saying "doooooomed".
• Dramatic Ellipsis: Extremely common, with many, many cases where the narration says "It was", followed by a number of ellipses, the number often being a lot more than three. Sometimes there are multiple paragraphs of just ellipses before the reveal, which is almost always in block capitals. In at least one instance, the reveal is followed with "Just kidding", and then another "It was" with even MORE ellipses before the actual reveal.
• Dramatic Wind: Chapter 16, to almost ridiculous levels.
• Dream Within a Dream: In The Hunger Games crossover, after getting stabbed and dying, Near wakes up and realises it was All Just a Dream... then finds the knife is still in him. Then Dark wakes up for real.
• Dropped a Bridge on Him
  • Light, Dark and Blud; they get better, though.
  • And the "Creepy Dude" who gets killed by a random asteroid in chapter 29. Because of how this story works, however, he comes back not too long after... As Creepy ''Chick''.
• Dual Wielding: Night wields two swords in chapter 16, and Dark wields three in a manner suspiciously simliar to Zoro's three-sword style.
• Easily Forgiven: Dark's punishment for trying to destroy the world? He gets grounded.
• Embarrassing Middle Name: Darkus Taylor Yagami and Light Melville Yagami.
• Emphasize EVERYTHING: Most of the time, but especially when things are getting "epic" or "awsome".
• Enemy Mine: Everyone in this fic will inexplicably work with former enemies to defeat new ones. Probably the best example is Dark and Night working to kill L for a few chapters, only for Dark to ally with L's ghost to kill Night, only for L's ghost to work with Night instead to kill Dark.
• Entitled to Have You: Dark's clone Dark Dark hates lesbians because he believes that every woman in the world should want to have sex with him.
• Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Dark, apparently.
  "Tell... my... mom... I... love... Her!" said dark before he died.
• "Everyone Dies" Ending: By the end of the story, the world has been destroyed, with everyone dead aside from Dark and Samanther. Yet somehow or another the author claims there can be new adventures.
• "Everybody Laughs" Ending: Right before an incestous sevensome (with only six people involved).
• Everyone Calls Them Barkeep: Lights Mom, The Girl From The Bus, Creepy Dude, and The Lady From The Reception Desk. At no point in the story does anyone call them by any other name (for the latter's case, she even refers to herself that way). The names of the former three are eventually revealed in the end or in the "epilog".
• Everyone Is Bi: Most characters express attention to multiple genders, even if they claim otherwise.
• Everyone Is Related: Taken to astonishing heights by the final epilogue, thanks to some gratuitous time travel. It turns out that Dark is his own father; Light is his brother and son, L is his nephew and half-brother because he's Light's son, and that's not even half of it.
• Evil Twin: Dark Yagami's Lesbean Quest reveals that Dark has an evil twin (who's actually a clone) named Dark Dark, who wants to make lesbians illegal.
• Exotic Equipment: The extremely well-endowed Shinigami.
• Extradimensional Emergency Exit: During the climax, when Blud uses his spit to destroy the universe by creating a black hole, Samanther responds by casting a portal spell, allowing her, Dark, and Blud to escape to the Shinigami Realm.
• Extreme Omnivore: L.
  "She must be here somewhere gramps" L said eating the remote.
• Fake Defector: Soichiro helps get Dark home and impersonates Watari, but reveals he's actually loyal to L.
• False Camera Effects:
  "Sorry son!" Soichiro said and they hugged and the happy music came and the camera went fuzzy.
• Fan Art: [1]
• Fan Sequel: Light and Dark DEUX - The New Adventures of Dark Soichiro. (Spoiler-tagged due to the title giving away a plot twist that occurs near the end of this fic.)
• Fanfic Writers Have No Sense Of Scale
  • If Blud is "like twice the size of Ryuk", he must have a hard time fitting himself into Light's bedroom.
  • Blud later comes back even bigger, "with twenty feet tall".
• Fight Unscene: Much of the fight between Dark and Blud in chapter 13 is supposedly too fast for the audience to see.
• Foreshadowing: Subverted in chapter 25. The author explains he wants to add some "fourshadow" to the story, but since he does not understand what it is, he adds a scene taking place in the night.
• Forgot About His Powers: Dark resorts to trying to snipe Near from the "Eyfal" Tower, despite being armed with both the Royal Death Note and the Everything Note.
• Full-Name Ultimatum: Some cops in chapter 24; apparently, Dark's full name is "Darcus Taylor Yagami".
• Fusion Fic: The Hunger Note Games puts the cast into The Hunger Games. Similarly, Keijo Note Dark Yagami and the Haunted Chest puts them into Keijo!!!!!!!!.
• Gag Penis: Dark's penis is impossibly huge, especially so when he becomes the king of the Shinigami and it grows to the size of a bus.
• Gambit Pileup: Attempted, but failed rather miserably. Of course, that doesn't stop the reader from being morbidly curious about what ridiculous nonsense will happen next.
• Gender Bender: Light tries to resurrect Creepy Girl with the Life Note, but Night tells him (a little too late) that "she" was actually Creepy Dude, a man disguised as a girl. Thus, Creepy Dude is resurrected as an actual Creepy Girl.
• Gender Flip: Hal Lidner is a he, while in the anime and manga, "he" is a she.
• Girl on Girl Is Hot: D'arkYagam'i certainly seems to think so.
• Good Twin: Day Yagami for Light.
• Good News, Bad News: When Day goes onto a news program in chapter 28, this is exactly how he presents it. The good news being that a Secret Death Note has been discovered, and the bad news being that every dad in the world is under arrest.
• Goofy Print Underwear: Dark's underwear has "d"s on them.
• Gratuitous Foreign Language: About three in this one sentence, along with a ton of Rouge Angles of Satin.
  "GRACIAS!" she thanked. "I fortez je was mort" (An: France for dead) "Jem apple Naomi"
• Gratuitous Japanese: Chapter 26's title. In the epilogue, meanwhile, someone who seems to be an Alternate History L speaks like this:
  "Konnycheewar!" the not-naked dude said in Japanish (IT MEANS HELLO).
  • The author is also amazed at how Japan uses the same word as in English to say "f-cking", not realizing that whatever translator he used simply didn't recognize the word.
• Guns Akimbo
  • Apparently used with Dark, but it's said that he "jumps out of a kimbo with guns".
  • Watari does this with sniper rifles in chapter 9.
• Hammerspace: Night puts a Life Note into her bra.
• Hand Wave: In-universe example in chapter 29:
  "Its probably nobody" said [the fake] L waving like a moron. "Now who wants pizza?!?!?!?"
• Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?: The author wants to make it very clear that Dark is not gay:
  Light's parents had made light's bed into a double bed (I know what your thinking sickos no theres no slash!)
  Light and Dark were in bed together but only because there parents were to poor to get separate rooms its not like their gay or anything!
  he loved Dark which maybe he did a little but not really cos Darks not gay!!!! SERIOUSLY
  "I am not gay" Darksaid because the readers at home might think so other ways.
  "Where did you get him he is very hansom!" dark said but only because he was a clone of him HES NOT GAY."
• Heel–Face Revolving Door: Blud keeps switching sides at the drop of a hat, then often reveals those switches were fake seconds later.
  • Basically everyone in the story does this, especially Dark and L.
• Heel Realization: Night.
  "Look Mr L dude" dark said darkly. "I just want to blow up the world is that so evil?"
  "Yes because then where will the kiddies live?"
  Night looked shocked and stopped signing.
  "BRO! I NEVER FORT OF THAT!"
• Heteronormative Crusader: Dark's evil twin Dark Dark wants to make lesbians illegal because he’s angry that certain girls aren't attracted to him.
• High-Pressure Blood: What happens when Near throws a knife back at a knife throwing guy, dousing Dark's car with blood.
• Hiroshima as a Unit of Measure: The size of large objects are nearly always compared to the size of a bus or a "nuclear".
• His Name Is...: Mikami manages to get a "Light Yaga" before dying, and L is angered that the group never got a name.
• IKEA Erotica: Sex scenes are always avoided by the author telling us that the characters are "sexing". That's it.
• Immediate Self-Contradiction: Chapter 29 is titled "The fight! Except no fighting".
• The Immodest Orgasm: L gets a special mention.
  "At first they only sexed a bit but then they sexed more becos Dark needed to brake in and L had to make a bunch of noise so she wood not hear the smashy bits."
  "They sexed very hard and made so much nosse that a bunch of pigeons flew away all over the city and some dudes thought it was an earthquake but it wasn't because it was just some noisy sexing and Ls trailer was rocking real hard then it stopped cos they were done."
• Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Night and L.
• Implausible Deniability: Soichiro claims that he is a Fake Defector and on L's side, immediately after firing several shots at him with a revolver. He also made Dark much more of a threat than he would have been otherwise by smuggling him into the United States, so this claim is pretty dubious.
• Improbable Aiming Skills
  • Dark kills a million stormtroopers with 100,000 bullets. That means every time he shoots, he kills ten people on average. Except he misses one...but then punches him so hard in the face that it kills 100 more.
  • Near, using a Nerf gun, manages to shoot out the bullets of Dark's sniper rifle, as well as his scope, while Dark shoots from atop the "Eyfal Tower".
• Improbable Weapon User: Almost everyone in this fanfic at some point.
• Improbably Cool Car: The Watarimobile.
• Improvised Golems: In chapter 33, a Khaos-possessed Light sneaks out of school by somehow making an animate doppelganger of himself out of mashed potatoes and sending it to class in his place.
• In Name Only:
  • The "hokie cokie", the song that will end the world. Except it has different lyrics and background music, so it's completely different (not to mention the typo in its name).
  • Also, all the canon characters and elements.
• Insane Troll Logic: This gem from chapter 41:
  I MUST KILL EVERYONE blud replied and he took the needle from TIOSEAFK!
  "Why do you want to want to do that?" she asked pouting her lipsticky lips.
  BECAUSE WE ARE SHINIGAMI AND THAT MEANS GOD OF DEATH AND GODS CAN DO ANYTHING SO THEY SHOULD MAKE EVERYTHING DEAD and he stuck the needle in a blood banana and sucked out the goopy blood inside.
• Jump the Shark: In-Universe. And a little more literally than expected.
  "They did a bunch of jumps over a wall and a cruise boat but missed some sharks and didnt jump them (ITS AN INTERNET THINGY)"
• Kick the Dog: Soichiro steals another policeman's jacket and uses it to heat the precinct. But don't worry, he gets it back later!
• Kick Them While They Are Down: The author does this to the constant Butt-Monkey Near. After being killed countless times and earning the hatred of every character in the story, Dark steals Near's Legos so the poor boy doesn't get any presents for Christmas!
• Killed Mid-Sentence: Mikami, while identifying Light as Kira.
• Killed Off for Real: The Anti-Life Note kills people and prevents the Life Note from bringing them back. It's used on Near, but he's fine in the next chapter.
• Klingon Promotion: Blud became the Shinigami King by killing the previous King.
• Large Ham:
  • Dark as the Shinigami King.
  • Blud, Soichiro, and Watari qualify as well.
• LEGO Genetics: The clone machine works like this. They just put some DNA from multiple sources, and the machine creates a clone that mixes all these traits and even a few others that were not included as part of the samples - such as Night's shinigami traits.
• Lemony Narrator: The narration is unconventional to say the least. The entire fic is filled to the brim with puns, comments, Lampshades, Dissimiles, mangled metaphors and such.
• Lesbian Jock: Dark teams up with a lesbian soccer team to fight Dark Dark.
• Let's You and Him Fight: Dark claims credit for using this tactic to trick L and Light into killing each other, but all evidence points to them coming into conflict with each other before Dark intervened.
• Let Them Die Happy: Blud.
  "So BLud ate a blood banana and died happy."
• Line-of-Sight Name: Retconned to the be the origin of Soichiro's name. You see, Samanther was eating soy sauce and Cheerios when Dark awoke from his coma...
• Love Triangle: Dark loves Naomi, who loves Night, who loves Mello.
• Ludicrous Gibs
  • What remains of Matt after his car explodes.
  • Also what happens to Dark after getting shot repeatedly with the police gun. It doesn't stop him from stealing the Everything Note four sentences later.
• Luxury Prison Suite: Dark uses his Royal Death Note to make himself quite comfortable in prison.
• Magic Countdown: The countdown for the nuclear missile launch takes ages to move from 10 to 9 before jumping to 1 in a single line of dialogue.
• Magical Computer: Khaos has a computer that works without a hard drive, since he replaced it with a Death Note.
• Magic Fire: One of this fanfic's many defiances of nuclear physics is that at one point, a tanker carrying "nuclears" gets destroyed in a car chase, creating an explosion made up of what the narration straight-up calls magic fire. The main property of this magic fire is that it can turn around corners.
• Magic from Technology: Yotsuba creates a Life Note by drawing one in Microsoft Paint and printing it.
• Malaproper: The story constantly misuses words when it isn't misspelling them.
• Manly Facial Hair: Soichiro's Porn Stache, which he "twisted like an evil guy". Not to mention how he regrows it in the span of a chapter because he's so manly.
• Manly Tears: Du'Arq ("HE started crying with happy but then stopped and man cried instead which was more manly.")
• Makes Just as Much Sense in Context: It doesn't even do that.
• Meanwhile, in the Future…: This story often uses "meanwhile" to transition to events happening at different times.
• Medium Awareness
  • Light can somehow read the text in the story in the first chapter. Later on, Lights Mom says she cannot understand what a japanese man is saying because she can't understand the drawings^note kanjis.
  Light: "Stop saying colour! Your in America now! Its color!"
  • Later on, when Lights Mom is confused about the Death Notes, Light explains the source material's plot to her.
• Metaphorgotten: "HEY NEAR TRUTH OR DARE" mello roared lolling as blood explossomed out like a rainbow if all the colours except red were stolen by an evil leprechorn and instead of a pot of gold he had a pot of dead sparrows but they weren't dead they were zombies and they terrorised ireland."
• Mind Reading: Night Yagami, with her "Shinigami Ears".
• Mind Screw
  • Dark can jump out of the basement window and fall 20 feet onto a lit barbecue...and live. Because he has an erection.
  • Really, most if not all of the story qualifies for this trope. Chapter 42 especially qualifies. Dark is his own father. He had sex with his mother/wife from the future who went to the past (with his amnesiac self). Or something.
  • When Dark kills L, Blud (seemingly) betrays him by using his Life Note to bring L back to life. Dark is arrested and sent to prison. Dark claims that this has all gone "exactly as planned" because now he can break out of prison. So his plan was to get sent to prison and break out, even though all of that changes nothing.
  • The final chapter of the epilog takes this even further. It turns out that the Watari we knew throughout the whole story is actually Near, who is an evil clone who impersonates him and does L's bidding. The Near we used to know is actually the original Watari, whom L tied up and hypnotized with legos so that he forgot who he really was. The girl from the bus, who is actually also Samanther (which also makes her Light's mom), had sex with Light at some point and gave birth to L (which means that Creepy Dude is Light). Moreover, L is revealed to have somehow been transformed into a baby after being defeated by Dark during their final battle and then sent back in time, where he becomes baby Watari. And after that reveal, Light somehow turns into Blud because he was Blud all along.
• Modesty Bedsheet: Night in chapter 16.
• More Dakka
  • Blud's seventeen crossbows stuck together with blood and "duck tape".
  • To shoot 100,000 shots in the ~10 minutes that Dark's implied to have done it, his gun would have to be firing at a rate of 166 rounds per second. And each bullet can pass through ten stormtroopers before stopping.
• Motive Decay: Erm...Dark? Aren't you trying to be God of a New World rather than just using your powers to shag your mother?
• Murder Is the Best Solution: Dark doesn't bother much with planning and instead typically writes his target's name into the Death Note whenever he needs to solve a problem. L's plans to capture Dark tend to consist of sending assassins after him.
• My Nayme Is
  • When Dark becomes a Shinigami, he renames himself Du'arq. Except it usually gets spelled Da'urq. Or D'uark. Or D'rq. Or Du'Raq.
  • Then Sayu becomes a Shinigami herself and is renamed Sa~Y'u.
• My Own Grampa: Dark has his memory erased, becomes Soichiro, knocks up Samanther, and becomes his own dad. The Epilogues also reveal that L is Watari, making himself his own grandfather.
• Name Order Confusion: In the Pain Note side story, Ray Pember reveals that he is the brother of Rei Ayanami, explaining that because they're Japanish, their first name is their surname.
• Naming Ceremony: When Dark renames himself Du'arq after becoming the Shinigami King, everyone does "the new name dance".
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The girl from the bus kills Dark on L's orders, enabling him to become King of the Shinigami.
• No Indoor Voice: Watari, Blud, and Soichiro
• No Name Given: Light's Mom and The Girl from the Bus. The author knows they have a name, but he forgot to the point that when there's time travel to the past, Light's Mom is called Past Light's Mom. Coincidentally, both characters turn out to be the same person.
• Not Good with Rejection: Light does not react well when Misa breaks up with him near the end of the story, especially after Sayu tells him that she and Misa have been married for a while. This is despite Misa "sexing" with Sayu for at least a year, and Light himself "sexing" with L during that time period, making him both a hypocrite and someone completely unaware of the obvious.
• Obligatory Swearing: Soichiro seems to suffer most from this.
• Odd Name Out: The Yagami children are named Light, Dark, Day, Night, Dawn... and Sayu.
• Of Corsets Sexy: TIOSEFAJ. Maybe. She wears "one of those sexy waistcoat things ladies wear in Shakespeare times with the chests and the wastes" anyway.
• Offscreen Teleportation: How exactly does Soichiro get from his place to L's in the time it takes for Light and Dark to talk and Dark to call L?
• Oh, Cisco!: "Better make it a foursome!" No, Light. Just no.
• One-Winged Angel: L makes a terrifying transformation during his showdown with Dark.
  The bits of candy melted and caught fire and L who was now like an inch taller slumbered forwards covered in fire and lava and his hair was all wilds and two fires burned in his eyes which kind of hurt but now he was a monster so he dint care. "THIS IS MY TRUE FORM" he said.
• Only the Author Can Save Them Now: Invoked in chapter 35 (aka new chapter 32), where the author admits that he made Khaos too strong to be beaten by Dark, so he decided to reset the story by having Dark randomly find a Reset Note and use it to go back in time and defeat Khaos when he was weaker.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Queen Elizabeth while being controlled by Dark in chapter 23:
  Suddenly the queen got up and punched the dude IN THE FACE! Which is something the Queen wouldn't normally do but she did and that's why its shocking.
• Opposite-Sex Clone: Night Yagami, Dark's sister.
• Outrun the Fireball: Dark and Near when faced with a nuclear explosion in France.
• Out with a Bang: Sayu defeats Cybertakada through . Going to "101% sexing" with Sayu causes her to explode.
• Out with a Bang: Sayu manages to defeat Cybertakada through great sex. Once the intensity of the sex is too high (meaning it's "more than 100% sexing"), Cybertakada explodes.
• Paper-Thin Disguise: Night's attempt at crossdressing: a tattoo that says "Im a guy". While naked.
• Parallel Conflict Sequence: The final battle between the Yagami family and L's team is primarily made up of various fights between different groups of characters.
• Parlor Games: The kiddies at Whammy House play Strip Spin the Bottle Truth or Dare. It ends as you would expect. "Near was naked cos he lost all his four fits and everyone had lolled at his ugly bod. Mello had been dared to glue himself to the ceiling so he was stuck there for now. Cool Dude had got drunk on Rgoers beer and started kissing matt who was also drunk and everyone had lolled EVEN MORE."
• Pet the Dog: Light buying a new breadmaker and flowers for Yotsuba to "say soz".
• Plot Hole:
  • Dark's Royal Death Note kills anyone whose name is written in it, even if you don't know their face or name. So...what do you write in it? To be fair, he could kill L just by writing "L" in it. Whether this was the Royal Death Note's exception or yet another unintentional (or not) use of this trope is left for you to decide.
  • Remember the quote at the top? That's bad enough on its own, but it's later revealed that Dark didn't even have a car and went to America as a ship's stowaway.
  • Soichiro poses as Watari in chapter 1. That's fine. But he's with L at "Watari House"invoked at the exact same time he's in America with the Yagami family.
  • At the end of the story, Samanther gives birth to Light, Dark and Night, even though Night was a clone who was created halfway through the story.
  • The final epilogue chapter explains that Blud created the Royal Death Note by fusing Light's Death Note with the Ancient Death Note. Except in the first chapter, Light still has his Death Note, and Blud says that the Royal Death Note has always been property of the Shinigami King.
• Poirot Speak: Some of the French people speak in a bizarre mixture of French and English ("TU WILL PAYEZ FOR THIS!"). Of course, the French is about as accurate as the English.
• The Power of Love: Dark claims this is the reason why he doesn't die in his fight against L in chapter 42. We don't see it either.
• President Evil: Dark's Evil Twin Dark Dark is elected president in Dark Yagami's Lesbean Quest while pretending to be Dark, and the first thing he does in office is make lesbians illegal.
• Previously on…: Watari has a computer that synopsizes the story so far. Except it manages to get the plot completely wrong. That's right, even the author doesn't know what's going on. Which, granted, is entirely understandable.
• Punctuated Pounding: Dark punctuates his threats against Near with coshing. "DO (cosh) YOU (cosh) WANT (cosh) TO (cosh) BE (cosh) NECKS?"
• Punctuation Shaker: Du'arq. The author's username D'arkYagam'i counts, too.
• Punny Name: Two members of a lesbian soccer team from Lesbos are named Leslie and Saffie.
• Putting the Band Back Together: L and Watari do this in chapter 35... Except halfway through they start recruiting people they clearly haven't met before, so one has to wonder how this qualifies as getting the old team back together...
• Real Men Wear Pink: Subverted. Light and L's Harrier Jet is described as being "pink and lame and not badass" like Dark's is.
• The Real Remington Steele: When Naomi first appears, she's Takada in disguise, but the real Naomi later appears.
• Recursive Fanfiction: This fic has "inspired" other works [2], [3]
• Reference Overdosed: Especially in the later half of the story, there are Shout Outs galore. If the author mentions in the starting greeting that he recently watched something he found cool, then it's certain that the episode will contain several references to it.
• Related in the Adaptation: A rather crazy one. In the final chapter, it's revealed that Light and The Girl From The Bus are the parents of L. By this point, it’s also been revealed the latter is also Light’s Mom. As such, L is both the son and half-brother of Light.
• Reset Button
  • After Sayu launches nuclear missiles at Du'Arq, the changes he made, like making Watari Queen of England, are undone.
  • The Reset Note from the start of chapter 35 also qualifies.
• Rewriting Reality: The Everything Note allows its user to do this to a much greater extent than any other note. Long story short, anything written down in it will happen, which allows the user to do anything.
• Rouge Angles of Satin
  • Most of the story, but several lines stand out:
  "Die you pies of shit!"
  "Dark reached round and grabbed the cock"
  Light: "Few! I thought I was a boner there!"
  "YOU WILL USE YOUR POWERS TO KIL... LIGHT AYANAMI!"
  "YOU WERE ALL MY PORNS IN THIS GAME OF CAT AND MOUSE"
  • Whenever the author says "vicarious" he means "bicurious".
  • Let's not forget the 'angles signing' when lights mom came back to life.
• Rousing Speech:
  "BLud said he will make me king of the Shinigami if we win this fight so now we have to DOUBLE FIGHT" He shouted at every one because he was the leader and this is the part of the movie where everyon's all like "WE'RE GONNA LOSE" and dark is like "NO WAY M-THERF-CKERS" and everyone cheered
• Rule of Cool
  • Referenced at one point. "I KNOW NOAMI WAS NOT ENLGISH BUT IT MAKESS THE STORY COOLER THIS WAY!"
  • You can't read a passage like this one and say it isn't ridiculously awesome:
  Things got more awesome and they were fighting on the roof and there was lighting all around and winds blew everyones hair aaround and also blew away the sheet night was using to not be naked. An thunder smash the roof of the building and bits of tile flew every where and it was very scary. Like if youve ever jumped in front of a bus and the bus was being driven by satan and there was a dead frog on the front and fire instead of a windscreen - thats how scary it was.
  • The entire fic is basically fueled by this trope.
• Running Gag: The "Near" puns, as well as "...or my name isn't...!"
  • There's also a running theme of characters dancing for no apparent reason:
    • "PLEASE GET ME A BLOOD BANANA." Said Blud as he danced around the rrom. Dark laughed at the dance it was like the Ketchup Song but it was about blood not ketchup though shinigami sometimes used blood as ketchup because it was blood.
    • "Holly shit!" muttered Dark as Light's mom danced around the room under the control of the death note which was making her say all these things.
    • "Let's stay calm and not do anything rash!" shreked Light dancing around like a little girl.
    • "I AM NOT DARK ANYMORE! FROM NO ON MY NAME WILL BE….. DU'ARQ!"
      Everyone did the new name dance and then there was a feast with twelve turkeys and a pig and a soup made from blood bananas and this was served with blood wine and not alcholic blood wine for the kiddies and also there was mineral water to.
    • "hiphiphooray!" they cheered and then a DJ came on and they all danced the night away to some beats.
    • Yay!" said matsuda with a happy dance which made her laugh and then he fell off and dead.
    • "THAT'LL TEACH YOU!" ckira screamed dancing on the dead car.
    • "OMG!" raye screamed dancing like a dancy man.
    • Every dad in the world went "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" all angry and shocked and scarred and repressed and dancing with unhappy and screaming and ragey and angry and pokey all at the same time except the evil one who just put his fingers together and said "JUST AS PALNNED!"
    • They were blood banana cookies so he fed them all to Blud and Blud did the happy shinigami dance.
    • "LETS HIT THE DECK" roared ray pember dancing to the helicopter.
    • "What is this?" misa asked doing the scared dance.
    • Blud was so exited about the fight now that he kept dancing in circles around the planet to get rid of his energy. LIGHT YAGAMI IS A MACHINE GUN DOG AND DAWN IS DEAD AND CYBERTAKADA IS NAKED WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT he sang dancing past Ruyk and flipping him lots of birds cos his guy was dead.
    • Then Sayu did a sexy dance for cybertakada and they started sexing.
    • YOU WILL LOOK SO PRETTY AND WE SHALL DANCE ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT AND MAKE SWEET PASSIONATED LOVE ALL OVER THE BATTLE RING WHICH WILL BE RENAMED THE SEX RING AND FILLED WITH WINE AND EVERYONE WILL WATCH AND GET ALL TURNED ON TOO.
      "Not so fast CHUMP" Dark roared and kneed blud in the man thing. Blud yipped like a little girl and danced all over the battle ring.
    • "Oh! Blud! That is the best feeling I have ever had!" screamed Samanther as the hand danced over her like a mad dancer made of blood having sex with the dancefloor which was her body in this case.
    • "SHUT UP RUYK OR I WILL PUT A MAYPOLE INTO YOUR SKULL AND MAKE THE KIDDIES DANCE OVER YOUR FACE"
    • Ruyk looked even harder and it was so f-cking cool that he started dancing on teh spot and he fell and landed on a pile of apple flavor heroine!
• Ruthless Modern Pirates: Dark's boat is attacked by "moden pirates with guns and rockets and taking over oil tanks lick those guys on tv."
• Said Bookism: Constantly abused (and used incorrectly), especially "muttered". Some are clearly made up, like "rofled".
• Screams Like a Little Girl: Yotsuba is described as doing this, "only manlier because he was big."
• Screw Yourself: Samanther has sex with Light's Mom, her future self, in "The Reveng of A-Kira? Samanthers Surprise!".
• Serial Escalation: How many more twists can be introduced? How many Shout Outs will occur? And how Over the top can the characters get?
• Sexy Discretion Shot: "The stuff that was going on was pretty grafic and I don't want to make this fic M so all I'll say is that it was sexy and Takada was using mop but was naked (you'll have to figure out how for your self rofl!)"
• Shaped Like Itself: The favorite snack of Dark's Shinigami Blud? "Blood bananas made of blood". Also, "the nuclear bom went off like a bom".
• Shout-Out: See the Shouts Out page.
• Show Within a Show: Recursive version: Death Note.
• Slap-on-the-Wrist Nuke: Either Soichiro's car is impossibly well-armored, or the "nuclear bom" scratching its paint was impossibly weak. It's enough to make Soichiro mad, however.
• Slash Fic: Initially it attacks slash - later, Watari finds L and Light in bed together.
• Skewed Priorities: Often involving Soichiro.
  • First, when a "nuclear bom" detonates in the city he lives in, he seems to be more concerned (and in fact enraged) at the fact that his car's paint was scratched.
  • Later on, when a Khoas-controlled Light, who should be at school, shows up naked, having "sexed" with a girl in an alley, and with the desire to time travel, Soichiro tells him that it's cold outside.
• Smoking Hot Sex: L in chapter 27 after having sex with Light.
  "They lay back and L was smoking a ciggeret cos that's what peeps do after sexing I think.''
• Sorry, I'm Gay: L, when Night tries to seduce him to find out his real name.
  "I will sex with you if you tell me your real name." She spoke all sexy style. "Sorry but im gay" [said L] and slammed the door in her face.
• Spit Take: With cake. And french fries.
• Spoiler Title: The title to chapter 14: "L Dies! but thats a twist!"
• Spontaneous Mustache: In one scene, Dark spontaneously grows a mustache to impress Naomi. It works.
• Stable Time Loop: Dark has his memories erased by Blud in the final battle. So Samanther lives with him while being pregnant with three of his children. Because Dark has no idea who he is anymore, he grows a moustache and decides to become a cop named Soichiro. The three children they have are Dark, Light, and Night. Since Dark can't remember Samanther's name anymore, she decides to just be called "Light's Mom". And from there the entire wacky thing begins again... somehow.
• Stealth Parody: It has to be.
  • If this fandomsecret◊ is to be believed, it is. Link to FS post (#104).
  • A confession?
• Story-Breaker Power:
  • The Royal Death Note, which can kill people whose name or face you don't know, completely bypasses the limitations of the regular Death Note. In spite of this, the characters that get it at some point prefer to kill through more "conventional" means anyways.
  • The Everything Note, which can be used to make anything written on it happen, suffers a similar fate. After Dark uses it to reverse time, other, less versatile Notes start appearing and the characters decide to use them over the Everything Note.
• Suspiciously Specific Denial: See Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today? above.
• Sweet Polly Oliver: Night Yagami gets a tattoo and changes into a man to go out with L and get his Life Note.
• Tagline: "IS HE GOOD? IS HE EVIL? WHO KNOWS!?" - Taken from the author's profile.
• Take That!:
  • One directed at this very site.
  • And one directed at Code Geass.
  "Suddenly a rocket WOOOSHED past and left a big line of smoke and a bang at the end where it missed but only the helicopter because it still hit another tower but it was okay because noone was in the tower except for that leloosh guy (MORE LIKE LELOSER AM I RIGHT!) an d everyone hates him so its cool except he has a giant robot and also ive never seen it."
  • And yet another one at Twilight.
  [...] but it [the skin] wasn't shiny cos those vampires are lame
• Tangled Family Tree: More like a Tangled Family Loop! At the end of the epilogue, it's known that:
  • Soichiro is an older Dark, which means Dark is his own father, as well as the father of his own siblings - Light and Sayu.
  • Samanther is also Lights Mom and The Girl from the Bus. The Girl from the Bus is L's mother, so Samanther is L's mother.
  • Light is the one who left The Girl from the Bus (who is also his mother, although he didn't know that) pregnant with L. This means Light is L's father, and that Light is Creepy Dude. But Watari is L's grandfather, as well as Creepy Dude's father, which means Watari is Light's father, so Watari has to be Dark as well. Which makes Light both L's father and half-brother (this puts their relationship across the story in an unsettling light).
  • Watari, L, and Near are all revealed to be the same person at different points in time. When you put everything previously mentioned together, this means Watari, L, Near, Soichiro, and Dark are all alternate selves of the same person. Samanther, Lights Mom, and The Girl from the Bus are also alternate selves. And so are Light, Creepy Dude, Blud, and Might Yagami, Yotsuba's dog. Practically the entirety of the main characters are an alternate equivalent of Dark, Samanther, or Light. Mind Screw does not even begin to describe it - and this does not even include the clones...
• The Tape Knew You Would Say That: Dark's speech when controlling the Queen, considering that it was completely prewritten in his Death Note.
• Tap on the Head: Dark just won't stop coshing Near. With his cosh.
• Tears of Joy: Dark cries some after becoming king of the world.
• Technicolor Eyes: "His seventy-nine eyes all burned a diffrent shed of red except one which was gold because it contained the tiny good part of his sole"
• Textual Celebrity Resemblance: Samanther is described looking "just like the drummer chick from that scot pilgrim film" (Kim Pine, played by Alison Pill).
• That Came Out Wrong: Many lines end up like this thanks to typos or Suspiciously Specific Denials, but this one really sticks out:
  "It was the early morning and Light and Dark were in bed together but only because there parents were to poor to get separate rooms its not like their gay or anything! Light came all over the bed from the window of the room. Dark reached round and grabbed the cock from the table. It was seven oclock."
• Theme Naming: Dark's siblings/clones/duplicates/whatever are called Light, Night, Day, Dawn, Dusk, Shadow, and Twilight.
• The '90s: "It was the ninetys in America. Everyone was watching Friends and listening to Nirvana and Backseat Boys on records and driving motorbikes and wearing lever jackets everywhere and being all slick and watching flims like Goastbusters and Lord of the Rings! There was no thing as the internet yet so peeps had to download stuff from their TV instead."
• There Is Only One Bed: "But only because there parents were to poor to get separate rooms its not like their gay or anything!"
• They Killed Kenny: Poor Near.
• This Is Reality: Discussed or Averted or Subverted or Double Subverted or Lampshaded or... something:
  everyone cheered except this isn't a movie THIS IS REAL LIFE except its not cos it's a fanfic and everyone new they were gonna win! But they cheered anyway
• Temporal Paradox: Invoked but improperly used. Blud tells Dark that he's going to write Matt's name in the Death Note so that he dies in a car crash in the past and prevent him from stealing the Death Note from Yotsuba. Blud uses this trope to explain why he is telling him this now and not when he uses the Death Note in the near future.
• Time Police: Explicitly mentioned as existing in chapter 33, but absent from the story. A time banker explains that they guard all time machines in the world except for "time trains"; the reason for this remains unknown.
• Time Skip:
  NOTHING HAPPENED FOR A BIT GUYS! THEY CANT ALWAYS HAVE AN EXITING LIVE SO IM SKIPPING LIKE A YEAR COS ALL THEY DID WAS GO TO SCHOOL AND KIRA DUDES AND THIS ONE TIME SOICHIRO HAD AN AFFAIR WITH THE DESK LADY AND LIGHTS MOM WAS REAL SAD SO SHE CHEETED ON HIM WITH WATARI AND NOW THERE EVEN
• Trademark Favorite Food: Blud and his blood bananas.
• Troll Fic
  • And it just gets more and more obvious with each new chapter.
  • The obviousness reaches its peak in chapter 18, where D'ark has a massive stream of consciousness in which he openly admits that what he just narrated makes no sense and throws in a ridiculously implausible Hand Wave before concluding with "...I don't know it's not my story. It is but I don't care."
• Trouserspace: Dark keeps his phone and Death Note here. And Blud "a bar of gold the size of the empire state building". And Mello a bottle, "to pretend he had a big man thing", and a bazooka.
• Unexplained Recovery
  • Blud comes back from being killed by Dark without explaining how he did so.
  • Near provides an even more confusing example. In chapter 13, Dark kills Near because he needs him for a "sacrifis". However, later in the chapter, it's stated that Dark imprisoned Near. Night then writes Near's name in the Anti Life Note, which is stated to be able to kill the victim forever. However, in the next chapter, Near is revealed to be alive.
  • Two more examples are L and Light, whom Dark "tricked" into killing each other, but they both appear alive and well a few chapters later. Bizarrely, the opposite happens to Mello, who is described as a ghost during the same scene, even though he seems to have escaped the last chapter he had appeared in perfectly alive.
• Unit Confusion: The author claims that "killmeters" are the same as miles in France.
• The Unpronounceable: Seriously, try pronouncing "TIOSEAFJ".
• Unrealistic Black Hole: Appears in the climactic battle, after Blud spits sizzling bacon grease at the ground that somehow penetrates the Earth's core and causes it to rapidly expand until the planet explodes, somehow creating a black hole that proceeds to suck up the entire universe.
• Unusual Chapter Numbers: Dark goes back in time in chapter 35; every chapter number after this is three less than what it should be.
• Unusual Euphemism: "Getting happy" seems to refer fairly consistently to becoming aroused (for male characters) or having an orgasm (for female characters).
• Villain Has a Point: While Dark's Evil Twin Dark Dark is a homophobic incel, he's right when he tells Dark that using a Boob Note to give him boobs doesn't turn him into a lesbian, because one's gender is not determined by one's body parts.
• Villainous Lineage: Apparently, killing all "evil dudes" means that there cannot be any evil kids.
• Voodoo Shark: This fic is so convoluted, it actually manages to Voodoo Shark a Voodoo Shark. Night magically reappears after Dying For Real. How did she come back to life? She was accidentally life-noted back by Higuchi Yotsuba when he tried to revive his dog Might Yagami. Why does he have a dog named Might Yagami? Because Light Yagami accidentally got cloned and came back as a dog called "Might" in the future. Right...
• Weird Moon
  Then the moon got really close to the ground and it was the pointy moon so it started stabbing people.
• Weird Science: The father detector.
  He had a machine in his hands that looked like a bomb which scared people but it was actually just a father detector. He stuck the wires to the creepy dudes neck and eyes and butt and the machine went "bip bip bip bip biiiiip bip bip biiiiiiiiiip bip bip" and exploded and then a paper came out.
  • "Yotsuba" apparently revived Night Yagami by mistake, trying to revive his pet Might Yagami. It's not dumb that he screwed up the name (it's still bad); it's that he gave his own pet somebody else's last name.
• We Used to Be Friends: Dark claims that he and L used to be best friends until Dark shot Mello and Watari.
• Wham Line: From chapter 6:
  Blud: "THAT'S WHERE YOUR WRONG MY SHINY HAIRED APPRENTICE. YOU SEE I ONLY PRETENDED TO BE YOUR SHINIGAMI BUT IN FACT I WAS L'S ALL ALONG. I GAVE HIM A LIFE NOTE AND ALL I HAVE TO DO IS WRITE L'S NAME IN IT AND HE WILL COME BACK TO LIFE AS GOOD AS NEW AND YOUR PLANS WILL HAVE BIN FOILLED!"
  • From chapter 14:
  Dark: (writing in the "Talk To Dead Dudes" Note) Are you l lol?
  L: yep.
  • From chapter 42:
  Amnesiac!Dark: What did you call me?
  Samanther: (looking at the bowl) Soy... Cheerios... Soichiro!
• What the Hell, Hero?: Soichiro denounces L for testing the Death Note on his wife, but uses the Life Note to revive her.
• With Catlike Tread:
  • L's idea of stealth in capturing Mikami is to jump through a window screaming.
  • Dark shouts "THIS IS MY CHANCE" at full volume before trying to snipe Near.
• Whole-Plot Reference
  • To A Christmas Carol. It's lampshaded once, and there's even a Shout-Out to The Muppet Christmas Carol.
• World of Ham
• Yandere: Potentially the girl from the bus, who kills Dark after she's left out of the group hug.
• Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe: TIOSEAFJ.
• You Are Too Late: "I did it like 35 minutes ago" says Night when Dark announces he wants to steal L's Life Note.
• Your Mom:
