History FanFic / CodeGeassLelouchOfBritannia

*** FixFic

* AManIsNotAVirgin: Jeremiah [[InvokedTrope endorses]] this trope, encouraging Kewell to lose his virginity when they were at school.

** One of the guests at Clovis' party is San Francisco 49ers quarterback [[{{Eyeshield21}} Shin Seijuro]].

** Chapter 20 mentions the New Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, led by conductor [[{{NodameCantabile}} Shinichi Chiaki]]

!!'''This fic contains examples of the following tropes, in addition to those already present in the source material:'''

** The PoweredArmor Zero uses in chapter 26 has a heavily-muscled frame and an overall design scheme similar to [[NightmareOfNunnally MasterAsia!Zero]].

** In the Black Knights' first action against the North African League, they are raiding a prison to rescue Britannian soldiers. Jeremiah yells at a soldier just freed, [[ModernWarfare "On your feet, soldier; we are leaving!"]]

** Sawasaki's return to Japan is evocative of General {{Douglas MacArthur}}'s return to the Phillipines during UsefulNotes/WW2.

--->"[[WordOfGod Milner is not an original character,]] just a name I came up with for the [[{{Mook}} leader of Clovis' elite guards who Lelouch commands to die]] [[SerialEscalation at the end of episode one]]".

* FreudianExcuse: Chapter 23 implied Nina's racism stems from [[spoiler: her getting raped]].

* HumanShield: Attempted. [[EpicFail Fails MASSIVELY]] in the face of Zero's MoreDakka.
--> "Lesson 3: When using a human shield, grab a fat guy."

* [[KnightTemplarBigBrother Knight Templar Big Sister]]: When Lelouch's is presumed missing or dead after his transportation is shot down, Cornelia launches a sudden attack that [[NiceJobBreakingItHero has diplomatic reprecussions]]. She is then seen torturing a prisoner to get information on Lelouch's possible whereabouts...when it's clear the prisoner knows nothing. The whole time she's in a TranquilFury.

** Lelouch's [[AwesomeMomentOfCrowning Awesome Moment of Not-Quite-Crowning]] (see above) is very reminiscent of Suzaku's knighting ceremony in the original series, particularly when one person known to be close to the recipient of the honours (Lloyd in the original, Cornelia here) begins clapping alone in the crowd of hostile nobles, then another person less close to them and with wide general respect joins in (Darlton/Schneizel), which finally precipitates general applause.
** In the original, Lelouch/Zero made a point of turning to stare directly into the camera carried by Diethard when he announced his name to be Zero. [[spoiler: Darlton, this universe's Zero (so far, at least), does the exact same thing, albeit in very different circumstances.]]
** The PowerArmor Zero uses in chapter 26 has a heavily-muscled frame and an overall design scheme similar to [[NightmareOfNunnally MasterAsia!Zero]].

* BulletproofHumanShield: Averted. Zero explicitly tells Lieutenant Kirkham that when attempting to invoke this trope, you should pick a fat guy (More mass to slow the bullets).

** Sawasaki's return to Japan is evocative of General Douglas MacArthur's return to the Phillipines during UsefulNotes/WW2.

[[TimeSkip Seven years later]], Lelouch enters the Britannian military and takes command of the 382nd Ashfordshire Regiment, leading them against the North African Federation and later the Euro Universe in a campaign strikingly similar to the North African theatre of WorldWarTwo. Much [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesomeness]] ensues, earning Lelouch fame and prestige as the Black Prince of the Empire.

** As noted above, many parallels can be drawn between the battles in North Africa and WorldWarTwo, including:

** Sawasaki's return to Japan is evocative of General Douglas MacArthur's return to the Phillipines during WW2.

* VigilanteExecution by a VigilanteMan: [[spoiler:Darlton became Zero in order to punish Lieutenant Kirkham who was not found guilty of killing Japanese children as part of a coverup of his slave trade activities. While Darlton did kill the platoon that served with the noble in a CurbStompBattle, it is Lelouch that has the CompleteMonster sleeping with the fishes.]]

* GenreShift: When the story moves to Japan, there are a lot more romantic and comedic elements compared to the more military-focused plot of the earlier chapters.

** The Zero battlesuit used in Chapter 26 has a number of features - radar in the helmet, slash harken grappling hooks, cape that stiffens to become a glider - evocative of a [[Film/TheDarkKnightSaga certain movie series]] featuring a [[CrazyPrepared Crazy Prepared]] [[{{Batman}} hero]].
*** Hell, the whole chapter 26 is a shout out to ''Film/TheDarkKnight''.

*** [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation Alternatively,]] [[ShippingGoggles the comment hit too close to home for comfort...]]

** Although to be fair, the original always had a distinct SingleTargetSexuality vibe to it. Nina may well just be BiTheWay.

** Diethard's co-anchor is named [[FamilyGuy Diane]].
*** Diethard survives the events of the fic and by around 2040 is hosting SixtyMinutes

** [[TheDailyShow The Daily Show with Jim Stewart]] makes an appearance in one [[FictionalDocument pre-chapter excerpt]], making fun of the media frenzy over Lelouch's departure from the public eye.

** See if this sounds familiar: a pair of young military officers, involved in a campaign in a desert region, the one more comfortable with a desk job, the other determined to remain in frontline service. [[spoiler: Despite the former's disposition, he ends up dying in a heroic sacrifice, showing outstanding valour; he is given a full military burial and posthumously promoted three ranks, ironically finally surpassing his friend, as was a long-standing ambition of his. Oh, and his death is one of the most [[{{Tearjerker}} emotional]] moments in the series. Kewell with Jeremiah, or [[FullMetalAlchemist Maes Hughes with Roy Mustang]]? Bonus points for being another RedOniBlueOni pairing, although several of the traits are swapped around.]]

* RealitySubtext: In Chapter 28, Lelouch says the last time he dined together with Schneizel, and Clovis was at Christmas. Schneizel's response? "That recent? [[ScheduleSlip It feels like more than a year ago.]]". [[note]]"More than a year" is how long it took for Chapter 28 to come out.[[/note]]

%%* DeadFic: The update schedule was always atrocious, as the author entered law school and then got a job in Taiwan. The second to last update was in July, 2010, although the chapter does have the author mention he'd like to submit the story to Sunrise. The latest update was October 8th, 2011.

-->"When these Challenger III Longbows debuted, they were the fastest, most powerful fighting vehicles on the planet, combining artillery and main battle tank into one platform, with a [[{{BFG}} 140mm rail gun]] firing 15 rounds per minute up to 100 kilometers. They only built a handful before we invaded Area Eleven, and after that… well, [[HumongousMecha no one was really interested in tanks after that]]. Production stopped and the finished pieces were placed into storage."

** Kewell was an unsympathetic minor villain summarily killed off in the first season of CodeGeass. Here, he's reimagined as AnOfficerAndAGentleman with an amusingly combative friendship with Jeremiah, a reserved romance with Villetta, and [[spoiler: a [[TearJerker tearjerking]] HeroicSacrifice]].

[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3816236/1/Code_Geass_Lelouch_of_Brittania Code Geass: Lelouch of Britannia]] by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/670654/Cal_reflector Cal Reflector]] is a CodeGeass FanFic, one of the best in existence. It takes place in a hypothetical AlternateUniverse in which Lelouch, in his [[CallingTheOldManOut confrontation with his father]] after his mother's death, chose to back down and apologize, leading to him and Nunnally staying in Britannia rather than being exiled to Japan.
