Yesterday I received a PM and a review asking me to please update already. I'd been working on this chapter, but not diligently. Once I got those two comments, it reminded me that people are actually interested in reading Kids, and that I should get my ass in gear and finish up the next chapter. So here's what I came up with. I hope you like it!

Liar, Liar - A Fine Frenzy

This chapter is a bit longer than what I usually produce. Some of you did ask for longer chapters, so there you go. It's kind of inevitable once things start to get more dramatic, I suppose. There's a lot of confrontation in this chapter, and a lot of things leading up to other confrontations. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

Infinite thanks to my wonderful beta Iron Chief, and to Rara and Serria for helping me out with word choice over AIM. Oh, and of course to all of you readers. On with the show!

Your reward for stopping by: There's Always Tomorrow - Space Twins

Ha, you guys don't get the apologetic explanation for a lack of updates that the folks on fanfiction.net do. If you're reading my journal, you know I did NaNo in November, and as a result I haven't really been able to work on any other writing projects. I am sorry, and I will update with greater frequency in the future. There are several other projects that I ought to complete first, mostly things I promised people, but I won't go two months without an update again!

Anyway, here's chapter 17.

( Canned Coffee )

As usual, your reward for reading is a song. Enjoy 'Don't Die In Me' by Mirah, and leave me a comment! I love you all!

Well, school has swamped me, as expected. But it didn't take as much time as it did in the summer, I guess because I'm forced indoors more often, and I work on fics when I'm pretending to listen in class. Anyway, this chapter isn't going to be quite as intense as the preceding ones…I thought this story could use a bit of a cool down. Enjoy, and leave me a comment!

Thanks as usual to Iron Chief, my most excellent beta, and to reka and Zamochit, who helped me plan this damn thing out. And thanks to all of you who are reviewing this thing. You're amazing.

In case anybody's curious, Nanaimo bars are a Canadian specialty. They involve chocolate, crumb cake, and custard. They're delicious, though I think Sachiko will probably be puking her guts out when she gets home-just one fills you up to the point of nausea! So yes, leave a comment and all that.

Your reward, because you rock: The Frug - Rilo Kiley. I love the lyrics in this thing. I cannot fall in love/you'll never see my eyes/I will not call you back/I'll never fall in love. A lot of the rest of it is about dancing, but I feel like those lines are appropriate for this chapter. Yay finding music for the fic! I'm totally making an FST when this is done.

So, I'm finally back from Japan/Canada/whereverthehellIamthatisn'thome, and I come back bearing ficcage. Please enjoy chapter thirteen of Kids!

And, it's over! Comment or I shall scrape your skies something good. Your reward is Adventure by Be Your Own Pet. Have a happy day, and stay tuned for the next chapter--it's coming soon!

I think writing these last few chapters has cursed me, because now I'm sick. (Don't worry, it's more like what Sachi had than what L has, I'm not half-dead.) Anyways, here's chapter eleven. I hope my execution made sense, and I hope you enjoy the story to come!

( Mocha Frappucino )

In lieu of spoilery ff.net author's notes, you guys get threatened! Comment or I shall bamboozle you with lipstick-wearing marsupial!

For you: All The Same by Sick Puppies. Because daya_chan says it reminds her of this fic. If anyone else has music this reminds them of, send it along! I might make an FST one day!

Nana: To anyone who's reading this, welcome back!. Anyway I hope you enjoy the coming chapter. If you know me, you will not be one little bit surprised by what happens next, but believe me guys, it was my beta's idea. So yes, infinite thanks to Iron Chief for suggesting what I wanted to write about but was trying to avoid, and for all his help with this chapter!

Nana: Paper writing season approaches with great swiftness, so I'm not sure when the next chapter will be out. Hopefully soon, and I'll try my best, but there may be a bit of a wait.

Oh also for you: Fingertips - They Might Be Giants

There comes a time in every lengthy L-fic where the author must make up some things about his background. I have my own ideas about how it went down, and since there is thus far nothing canonical to work with, my own ideas are all I've got. This chapter deals with a rather depressing aspect of L's past. Which is funny, because it all came to me while walking in the sunshine listening to songs about the water cycle and competitions for who has the fanciest pants.

( Chocolate Bar )

That was a big step forward, huh? It's making me tear up a bit, so I hope it had at least some effect on you guys. Hope it wasn't too corny, either. Anyway I'll try and have the next chapter out as soon as I can, so please shoot me a comment to encourage me! Love you guys!

If anyone's been reading this, then I'm sorry for the wait. I was working on a challenge fic, as well as homework and a few other things, so this took longer than anticipated and I'm sorry. I hope that this chapter turns out to be worth the wait!

( Hot Tea With Sugar )

That last bit was written under the close scrutiny of my dog, Mischa, so hopefully her sneezing on my keyboard somehow improved the quality of this chapter! This was the first one where they actually make an effort to spend time together, so I hope I did that milestone justice. Writing about L trying to deal with purely social interaction is such fun. Please comment, and I'll try my best to get the next chapter out soon!

(Ahahaha, I don't feel like threatening you guys today, so you get my ff.net author's notes!)

Okay, here's chapter three of Kids, which to my great surprise I'm actually still working on. Since I started my drabble series I stopped thinking I could possibly write anything with a plot, so this is making me feel quite good about myself. Anyways, check it out. Sachiko and L are starting to notice each other.

Hope you loved it, and whether you did or didn't I hope you'll comment. If not I hope you'll enjoy the coffin I've picked out for you. It's made from the finest of European cardboards.
