History Fanfic / CodeGeassPaladinsOfVoltron

* AdultFear: As of Chapter Eight, [[spoiler:Ohgi, Euphie, Cornelia, and Nunnally are now aware that people they consider family are missing, with no idea where they are or how to find them]].

* CuttingTheKnot: The minute Allura tries to bring up the similarities between herself and Lelouch, he simply uses his Geass to learn ''waht'', exactly, she's talking about.

* ImStandingRightHere: C.C. says as much when Suzaku tells Lelouch they ''will'' have a discussion as to who she is.

* TemptingFate: At the end of ''Return of the Gladiator'', Lelouch states that [[spoiler:part of the reason he wants to go back to Earth is because, if he's reported missing, it'll only take one look at his picture for someone to recognize him as a former Britannian Prince]]. Sure enough, during final scene on Earth, [[spoiler:the Student Council's disappearance is announced, with Cornelia, Euphemia, Jeremiah, and, worst of all, '''[[OhCrap CHARLES]]''' all recognizing Lelouch's picture]].

** Additionally, while one of the Paladins does have their 'head hole' image constantly fizzle (it's Kallen, and for roughly the same reason as in ''Legendary Defender'', ironically enough), this ''isn't'' what causes them to fail in uniting their minds. [[spoiler:Instead, it's Lelouch thinking about the assassination of his mother]].

* AudienceParticipation: The author has posted two polls so far, the first of which was to ask who, if any, of the other paladins, would get Geass, and the other to ask if they should give their lions special names besides their colors. [[spoiler:Turns out, they were happy with '''all of them''' getting Geass]].

"One day on a hiking trip, the student council from Ashford Academy discover a cave filled with lion and catlike drawings. Within the cave they discover a huge robotic lion that is one of seven pieces to a giant robot named Voltron: the Defender of the Universe. Will Voltron be enough to free Japan?"

** ''Some Assembly Required'' has an extra scene added where Lelouch and Coran play a chess game, after C.C. points out that they'll also need to test the Paladins ability to think strategically. [[spoiler:Lelouch trounces him, but both find the game enjoyable, and it's clear Lelouch regards Coran as a WorthyOpponent]].
* AdultFear: As of Chapter Eight, [[spoiler:Ohgi, Euphie, Cornelia and Nunnaly are now aware that people they consider family are missing, with no idea where they are or how to find them]].
* AudienceParticipation: The author has posted two polls so far, the first of which was to ask who, if any, of the other paladins would get Geass, and the other to ask if they should give their lions special names besides their colors. [[spoiler:Turns out, they were happy with '''all of them''' getting Geass]].

* CompositeCharacter: Rai is this for Pidge and Shiro, as he's revealed to have once been a Galra prisoner whilst also being the one who hacked into the Galra communications, in addition to being the green paladin.
* CurbStompCushion: While the Paladins still get crushed by the gladiator in ''Some Assembly Required'', this time around, they actually manage to '''win''' the fight.
* DidntSeeThatComing: While the possibility of the Paladins not being able to be one in mind did not elude Coran, he's completely flat footed when [[spoiler:the mind meld fails due to Lelouch thinking about the assassination of his mother]], as this had ''never'' happened before.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: The Lions mostly match up with their ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'' selves, but with some differnces due to the new ones added into the roster.

* {{Foil}}: This hasn't actually been brought up yet, but Lelouch could be considered one to Zarkon, as both are Royalty of an Empire, aided by a mystical women. But while Zarkon is a power hungry tyrant, Lelouch is more of a WellIntentionedExtremist who wants to make a gentler world for his sister.

** When [[spoiler:he makes the decision to return to leave the Paladins so he can return to Earth to overthrow Britannia]], Lelouch muses the Allura could likely be one of the Paladins [[spoiler:and take his place as the leader of Voltron]]. Allura did actually become one of the Paladins in Season Three of Legendary Defender.

* SevenHeavenlyVirtues: WordOfGod is that this is a secondary theme for the Lions, since there are now seven instead of five

* SparedByTheAdaptation: A reply to a question posted by a reviewer stated that Euphemia will not die in this story.

** Lelouch, being the black Paladin, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers doesn't have one, since the Black Bayard is currently in Zarkon's possession.]] [[spoiler:His Geass, however, [[ShockAndAwe more than makes up for it]]]].

** Kallen's Bayard takes the form of a clawed gauntlet, just like her Guren's Radiant Wave Surger.

* AdaptationExpansion: Since the story is focused on the Ashford Student Council (except for [[TheScrappy Nina]]), Shirley, Rivalz, Milly and [[VisualNovel/CodeGeassLostColors Rai]] get a hefty dose of this.

* NamedByTheAdaptation: Rai's (first) name is stated to be 'Zephyr' by the rescued Galra prisoners.

** SinisterScythe/ EpicFlail: A Kusarigama for Milly

** KnifeNut: An katar-like blade for Rai

* AdaptationDeviation: [[TropesAreNotBad For the sake of allowing the Ashford Student Council]] ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg except for Nina]]) to become the Paladins of Voltron, there are seven lions this time around, instead of five. The original lions are the Purple and Orange ones.

** Red is still [[PlayingWithFire fire]].
** Blue is still [[MakingASplashWater]].

* InternalReveal: As of the End of ''Return of the Gladiator'', [[spoiler:Jeremiah, Euphie, Cornelia, and Viletta are aware that Lelouch is still alive]].

** The Purple Lion is [[WouldNotTellALie Honesty]] (goes hand-in-hand with [[CelibateHero Chastity.]])

* CompositeCharacter: Rai is this for Pidge and Shiro, as he's revealed to have once been a Galra prisoner whilst also being the one who hacked into the Galra communications.

** KnifeNut: An arrow-like blade for Rai

** Lelouch, being the black Paladin, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers doesn't have one, since the Black Bayard is currently in Zarkon's possession.]] [[spoiler:His Geass, however, [[ShockAndAwe more than makes up for it]].

** Throughout the early chapters, C.C. will [[SteathHiBi appear from nowhere,]] to the confusion or consternation of someone else.

** Lelouch, being the black Paladin, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers doesn't have one, since the Black Bayard is currently in Zarkon's possession.]]

* TemptingFate: At the end of ''Return of the Gladiator'', Lelouch states that [[spoiler:part of the reason he wants to go back to Earth is because, if he's reported missing, it'll only take one look at his picture for someone to recognize him as a former Britannian Prince]]. Sure enough, during final scene on Earth, [[spoiler:the Student Council's disappearance is announced, with Cornelia, Euphemia, Jeremiah, and, worst of all, '''[[OhCrap CHARLES]]''' all recognizing Lelouch's picture]].

* MythologyGag: Just like with Pidge in ''Legendary Defender'', Kallen's mental picture is of herself and her brother, though this time around, the team assumes that Naoto is her boyfriend (since Kallen isn't hiding her gender).

* TroubledBackstoryFlashback: Lelouch has one during ''Some Assembly Required'', where his thoughts turn toward Marianne's murder. Due to being linked to the other paladins' minds at the time, [[PokeInTheThirdEye all of them suffer some rather severe psychic backlash.]]

* {{Foil}}: This hasn't actually been brought up yet, but Lelouch could be considered one to Zarkon, as both are Royalty of an Empire, aided by a mystical women.

* AdaptationDeviation: [[TropesAreNotBad For the sake of allowing the Ashford Student Council]] ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg except for Nina) to become the Paladins of Voltron, there are seven lions this time around, instead of five. The original lions are the Purple and Orange ones.

* AdaptationExpansion: Since the story is focused on the Ashford Student Council (except for [[TheScrappy Nina]]), Shirley, Rivalz, Milly and [[LightNovel/CodeGeassLostColors Rai]] get a hefty dose of this.

** Note, however, that this '''[[AvertedTrope is not]]]''' the case in regards to ''Anime/CodeGeass'' canon - see InternalReveal for the first example.
