Ice

Ice is a Death Note AU fan fiction in progress written by Sonic Critic, where Mello is actually a crossdressing woman. It starts with Mello recruiting Matt for the Kira investigation and loosely follows canon from there.

Currently at seven chapters, and can be read here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6670126/1/Ice

Tropes used in Ice include:

• Action Girl - Mello.
• Artifact of Death - Mello managed to save some Death Note pages...
• Ascended Extra - Jose. He seems to have been Mello's mentor of sorts.
• Berserk Button - Subverted. When people mistake Mello for a girl, she's not really mad, she just needs to act mad to keep her disguise up.
• Blue Eyes - Mello.
• Cluster F-Bomb - Mello and Matt swear constantly.
• Deadpan Snarker - Matt.
• Deuteragonist - Mello and Matt switch points of view.
• Forceful Kiss - Mello to Matt, when she wanted him to stop laughing.
• Everything's Better with Chocolate
• Green Eyed Red Head - Matt.
• Gender Blender Name - Mello's name is still Mihael Keehl, courtesy of a drunk midwife writing the wrong name on the birth certificate.
• Hell-Bent for Leather - Mello.
• Ignore the Fanservice - Due to incompatible orientation.
• The Mentor - Jose, sort of.
• My Beloved Smother - Mello's mother had shades of this.
• Pretty in Mink - Mello's fur coat.
• "Shut Up" Kiss - See above
• Stay in the Kitchen - Mello's worst fear is this.
• Sweet Polly Oliver - Fem!Mello.
• Why Couldn't You Be Different?
• Wholesome Crossdresser - Mello's mother seems to have wanted Mello to be this, since she believed women couldn't get anywhere in the world.
