   Summary

   Soichiro asks: "Why do you want to marry my son?"

   L stares at him for a moment, then sighs almost imperceptibly. "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. …or husband."

   A historical regency-esque romance AU in which L seeks Light's hand in marriage. And that's only the beginning.
