why is the dn kink meme so dead???? this is a question that haunts me
I have to agree: Because Livejournal. The fandom is relatively dead there outside of the kink meme anyway. Tumblr is probably the most lively place for DN apart from Pixiv and DA, but Tumblr is not a good system for the entire “kink meme” format. So I guess if you want to see the DN kink meme on LJ live, linking to it every few weeks might be an idea.

Bam. There’s fic of that. It’s not really my favorite (the writer is talented, but I recall having beef with a lot of the characterization when I read it), but it exists and you might like it.
All that said, unless you’re going into Another Monster territory, Monster is set when L is a teenager (about 15-16). It’s not happening at the same time as the Kira case.
I don’t think L ever would have pursued Tenma the way Lunge does. Even at a younger age, it seems unlikely that he would ever have thought of Tenma as a good suspect. So I’ve always thought that he might have had more success with the case.
I’m also pretty sure that nobody has ever finished translating Another Monster to English.
