History Fanfic / CodeGeassMegiddo

** The Britannian ''Portman'' is called the ''Bristol''.
** The Chinese ''Gun-Ru'' and ''Chuyen'' are called the ''Yaoguai'' and the ''Baihu'' respectively.
** For non-Knightmare examples, the Sword of Akasha and the World of C are called the Sword of Arawn and the Otherworld respectively, and the Geass Order is now the Eildons instead.
** [[spoiler:According to the [[Characters/CodeGeassBritannianImperialFamily Britannian Imperial Family character page]], V.V.'s real name was revealed to be Victor zi Britannia in extra materials. Here, he is Alwyn, the legendary founder of Britannia and the Eildons.]]

** The Glinda Knights are now known as the [[Myth/CelticMythology Ceridwen Knights]], with the [[Literature/LandOfOz Oz]] theming otherwise adapted out.

* AdaptationNameChange: Many of the Knightmares have different names from canon. Anya's Knightmare is named ''Hector'' instead of ''Mordred'', the latter being the [[EvilTwin Dark Twin]] of the ''Lancelot'' and Lelouch's personal Knightmare, Bradley's Knightmare is named ''Maleagant'' instead of ''Percival'', the ''Vincent'' is named ''Elyan'', the ''Vincent Gram'' and ''Gekka Alonso'' from ''[[Manga/CodeGeassOzTheReflection Oz The Reflection]]'' are named ''Constantine'' and ''Akizuki'' respectively while Oldrin's Knightmare is named ''Urien'' instead of ''Lancelot Grail'', the ''Ahuramazda'' and ''Gracchus'' from ''[[Anime/CodeGeassAkitoTheExiled Akito the Exiled]]'' are named ''Brunor'' and ''Carlisle'' respectively, the ''Portman'' is called the ''Bristol'', the ''Gun-Ru'' is called the ''Yaoguai'' and the ''Chuyen'' is called the ''Baihu''. For non-Knightmare examples, the Sword of Akasha and the World of C are called the Sword of Arawn and the Otherworld respectively, and the Geass Order is now the Eildons instead.

** The EU amphibious Knight Giga Fortress is appropriately named ''Leviathan'', the mythical sea serpent of Biblical myth.

''Code Geass Megiddo'' is an ongoing ForWantOfANail ''Code Geass'' {{Fanfiction}} by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/70215/Wing_Zero_Alpha Wing Zero Alpha]]. Originally written in April 2009, it was rebooted in 2016 - 2017 into its current iteration. Suffice to say what makes ''Megiddo'' different, especially from standard ''Geass'' storytelling, is that it forgoes the usual CrapsaccharineWorld setting and aesthetics for something [[DarkerAndEdgier darker,]] [[CrapsackWorld grittier]] [[WarIsHell and wartorn]]. Something more akin to ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamThe08thMSTeam'', ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans'' or ''LightNovel/EightySixEightySix''. As opposed to rebellion and insurrection, this is a story about ''war'', and it shows throughout, from the multiple character perspectives (and backstories) to the incredibly detailed combat depictions (both physical and [[HumongousMecha mecha]]-based) to the [[AlternateHistory historical accounts]] that are routinely brought up and discussed. All best emphasized by its very title, as the [[GeniusBonus the word "Megiddo"]] is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tel_Megiddo the name of the site of an ancient city in Israel]] and the origin of the word [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt "Armageddon."]]

* BalkanizeMe: What happened to the Soviet Union after the EU conquered it. As a result of (Western) European weariness toward further Russian aggression, the former USSR was broken up into much smaller states (which correspond to real-world federal subjects anyway) and annexed (thus causing the name change to Eurasia), such that everything past the Urals is now referred to as Far Eastern Eurasia (or just the Far East).

** Similar to the ''Wolfen'' is the ''Liard'', which is based on the ''Gelgoog High Mobility Type''. It is described as being very fast and maneuverable while lacking in durabilitu, but since it is meant for ace pilots, this is seen as a non-issue.

* FragileSpeedster: The ''Wolfen''. As stated on the author's wiki, it is essentially the Knightmare frame version of the ''Kämpfer'' from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket'' which is fast but not heavily armoured. [[spoiler:Overall a very fitting stand-in for the ''Alexander'']].
** The EU ''Liard'', which is based on the ''Gelgoog High Mobility Type'', is another example of this, being described as very fast and maneuverable while lacking in durability. But as it is meant for ace pilots, this is seen as a non-issue.

** The Battle of Yekaterinberg

* DarkerAndEdgier: ''Megiddo'' is essentially a dark, gritty ''Gundam''-esque war story that is very much removed from the original ''Code Geass'', though it retains some elements of the latter. For starters, the lack of float-capable Knightmares makes the fights more [[{{Pun}} grounded]] and intense in comparison to R2.

* ChildByRape: Rakshata considers the Four Beasts this. Basically, Cao Kun (the guy who invaded Kyushu) forced her to make them by promising to spare the people of Mumbai.....and then slaughtered them all anyway simply to remind Rakshata "who the master was and who the slave was."

** [[spoiler:The Battle of Krasnoyarsk]]

** The ''Morganna'' and ''Accolon'' are naturally named after the sorceress Morgan Le Fay and her knight consort/lover. As with the ''Mordred'' for Lelouch, what better names for Cornelia and Guilford's personalized knightmares?

** [[WordOfGod The author has confirmed]] that [[spoiler:Cornelia and Guilford's ''Quinn Roses'' from ''[[Anime/CodeGeassLelouchOfTheResurrection Lelouch of the Re;surrection]]'' will make their debut as the ''Morganna'' and ''Accolon'' respectively]].

** Though they haven't appeared yet, the author has confirmed that [[spoiler:Cornelia and Guilford's ''Quinn Roses'' from ''[[Anime/CodeGeassLelouchOfTheResurrection Lelouch of the Re;surrection]]'' will make their debut as the ''Morganna'' and ''Accolon'' respectively]].

* DeathRay: [[spoiler:''Edelweiss'', the EU superweapon built in Volgograd to be used against Britannia in the Far East. It's even based on [[UsefulNotes/NikolaTesla Nikola Tesla's]] theories on building such a weapon.]]

** [[spoiler:Chapter XLIV has the EU deploy ''Edelweiss'', which turns out to be a DeathRay... but instead of targeting Marrybell as originally planned, the ''Sturmtruppenkorps'' colonel in charge targeted Lelouch, wasting the EU's ace in the hole that could have ended the Far Eastern Front then and there. But the real kicker is when Marrybell reveals her own ace card in the form of her own ''Geass'', the Power of Absolute Submission, which she uses to turn all of her soldiers into mindless slave fanatics dedicated to eradicating all of her enemies, not too dissimilar to what Lelouch did to his own soldiers in the final episodes of R2.]]

** [[WordOfGod According to the author]], Akito's older brother Shin was killed by the former in the church where their family died.

** As opposed to "Europia United", the EU is now known as the Eurasian Union. Originally it was the European Union, but changed its name upon conquering the Soviet Union and annexing its former member states (thus expanding its territory to the opposite end of the world).
