Summary
L knows that Light Yagami is guilty. And he is forced to accept that he will never be able to prove it.
So, just this once, he decides to break his principles and go above the law. He kidnaps Light and takes him to Wammy's house.
He's sure that having the kids interact with a real-life mass murderer will be a very educational experience indeed.
Or: Light is Kira, L is sick of how easily manipulated the police are, and he secretly wants to see what will happen if he forces Light into a domestic situation with children just as intelligent as he is.

Bookmarker's Notes
Near was staring at Light with unblinking eyes. “L is not behaving rationally. I do not understand why. But you and I both know that you should not be here.”
Light’s lip twitched in a glower. “So you decided to lock yourself in a room with me … for what? To declare yourself my enemy? If I was Kira... that would be a rather foolish decision, Near,” He hissed, drawing closer. “It seems L is not unique in ‘irrationality.'"
“Attack me if you please,” Near said, shrugging. “I am confident that my life is valued enough that your taking it would be sufficient cause for L to send you to a more appropriate facility, his dubious priorities aside.”
Light glared at the boy blankly.
“I fully intend to make your life difficult. I will not allow you to get what you want,” Near stated, and a smirk pulled the corner of his lip. “So prove me correct. Attack.”
Light stared down at him. The child was… actually suicidal. Light slowly sank to Near’s level. “You are insane.”
“I’m not interested in your opinion of me,” Near replied, deadpan. “What did Mello promise you, I wonder?”
Extrajudicial is strong, and well-rounded in its strengths. The most important thing for any AU fan fiction to succeed in its mission of invoking similar feelings as the source material is, in my opinion, characterization. To say that this piece gets it right would be a callous understatement. These characters are not only realistic and engaging but go so far as to have philosophies of thought that are clearly defined and distinct from one another. They act in accordance with these principal philosophies; or, if they do not, the inconsistency of thought/perspective/action is addressed and accounted for as a development or change. The fic obviously loves these characters, but does not shy away from their flaws, shortcomings, and unglamorous moments. Overall, this work is self-conscious in the original sense of the word: aware of itself, affectedly so. An excellent read.
Tl;dr- Don't let anyone try to convince you that Near could not have defeated Light. Don't let them. I'm dead serious. Fuck the Near haters.
