Constant Temptation by Dragonrider4000 is an AU Death Note fic told in the ancient tradition of the OOC / slash mode. It begins with the standard Light and L fall in love during the Yotsuba arc but quickly deviates into something with more original content. As L and Light come to a mutually beneficial arrangement, one of L's old enemies uses all the hype over Kira to escape from prison, intent on destroying L and all he holds dear and because he keeps changing his appearance he is protected from the powers of the Death Note. Even with the combined forces of Kira, Wammy's House, and The Mafia at his disposal will L be able to put a stop to Beyond's reign of terror?

Constant Temptation provides examples of:

 Near: Are we sure we want to do this?

Mello: It's not like you to have doubts.

Near: I don't usually face such definite trouble.

Matt: That is the one thing we can guarantee will happen. We still in agreement over who to confess to?

Mello: Light?

Near: Light.
