Summary
Ryuk seems like an unusually enthusiastic and well-versed shinigami. As though his whole mode of existence is a strange hobby of his. A lot of what Light had assumed to be shinigami things, he came to learn from Rem are really just Ryuk things.
He has an unsettling amount in common with someone whose default stance on everything seems to be not caring that much about it, as someone who spends way too much time bothering himself with how strongly he feels about things. But when the time actually comes for his arch nemesis, who is also the best friend he's ever had, to die, Light realizes Ryuk the self-proclaimed Death Note expert really was wrong about one major detail:
There are a lot more than two differences between a human who has a Death Note and a shinigami.

(The third death note user is nothing but devote, and is determined to make Kira the one true God. The fact that Kira is a college student named Light Yagami is irrelevant. He will aid Him, worship Him, perfect Him.)

Summary
Ryuks dilemma is that the shinigami realm is super boring. Why? Because all the current shinigami are a bunch of lazy pushovers. How does he fix that? Using the most interesting human who could have been the best shinigami to make new ones of course!

Summary
“Ryuzaki!” Light cried, cradling L’s body. He’d done it! He’d outsmarted the World’s Greatest Detective! Now he was free to create his new world, deemed fit for a God.
Then he heard something that made him blink in disbelief.
L, against all odds, was still breathing.
Or, an unexpected factor throws Light's plans into disarray, threatening everything he'd ever worked for.

Summary
“Mihael Keehl, I swear to god. You give me back that lighter, right now!”, a woman’s voice was heard throughout the underground base Near had come to call his latest home. He felt a sigh stuck in his throat, letting it out as a groan, as the hurried footsteps grew closer. A door banged open, while another closed, effectively making the ground shiver enough for his card tower to fall to pieces. With pressed lips, the white-haired man stared at the remains of his work, doing his best to just keep breathing.

Summary
A single choice can set your whole life off-course forever. For fifteen year old Sayu Yagami, that choice was picking up the notebook she found outside her English class one day. Too afraid to let the Shinigami that owns the Death Note kill her, she decides to use her newfound power to do some good, in hopes of keeping Ryuk entertained and herself alive. But Sayu soon finds she can't handle her new position alone, and decides to confide in the person she trusts the most: her older brother, Light. Unfortunately, she may have put her faith in the wrong person.
[AU where Sayu found the Death Note. Twenty chapters planned. Very Sayu-centric, obviously, but our favorite mass murderer and detective will still play a big part. Third person POV.]
NOTE: This fic has been abandoned, but I am leaving an outline of where I was planning to go with this.

Summary
Misa thought that if she could just convince Light to have sex with her that he would realize that she was his perfect match and that he would love her. When Light turns her down with some terribly harsh words, Misa is distraught. Ryuk takes advantage of Misa's poor mental state and convinces her that her having sex with him would not be cheating as he's not a human. Misa gives in and only feels worse for it.

Summary
When one of Light's plans goes horrible wrong, he's left with no choice but to accept being Ryuk's right-hand man (and a minor attendant of death).
Tasked with getting closer to the disheveled detective L (who's dead sure he's Kira), Light begins to feel... something. Could it be a fever? A sudden stroke of madness? Or could he be... falling for the man he's meant to kill?
TL;DR —> A relatively slow burn L/Light fic, featuring morally grey characters, plot twists and turns, and some simmering smut.

Summary
As the girl continued to talk, Rem took note of her mannerisms. Misa was a very expressive person, even alone. She paced around the room as she talked, and played with her hair between pauses in the conversation. Her mouth curled into the tiniest smile whenever she finished a sentence, completely naturally.
*I can see why Gelus watched her for so long. She's interesting to observe.*
Aka Rem falls more and more in love with Misa as time goes on.
