Fanfic / One and Only Son

One and Only Son is a Code Geass/Mobile Suit Gundam 00 crossover written by Juubi-K. The story develops as this: in 2004 ATB, the Federal Republic of Krugis request aid from the Holy Britannian Empire and the Emperor sends his Knight of One, Bismarck Waldstein to help to stabilize the region. The operation is successful and Krugis is incorporated in the Empire as Area 7, with Bismarck as its Vice-Roy, who allows it to keep its cultural identity.

There, he is impressed by the courage of a street urchin named Soran, who fights until the end while outnumbered and decides to adopt him as his son. As Alexander B. Waldstein, he is the son of the best knight of the Empire and follows the military career, taking account his friendship with Lelouch and Nunnally, the death of Empress Marianne, his knighting by Cornelia and his training in the military academy.

He is eventually transferred to Japan when Cornelia goes there to replace Clovis and meets Lelouch, though he does not recognize him, while the Euro Universe with its team, led by Hamid (This stories equivalent to Ali Al-Sanchez), who helps the Black Knights fight against Britannia.

As of July 2016, the author is rebooting the story due to inconsistency and gaps in character development. The reboot is read on Sufficient Velocity.

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

Rebooted Version

• The Ace: Alexander is both very clever and an extremely hard worker. This allows him to excel at almost anything he tries. Notably he both graduates Valedictorian from Colchester Academy (Britannia's most distinguished Academy) and was top of his class from the Imperial Military Academy (which included future Knight of the Round Monica Kruszweski).
• Adaptational Nice Guy: Cornelia is much nicer in the story then in canon and the original story. In particular she doesn't commit the massacre of the Yamato ghetto. In addition her racism toward the Japanese is greatly toned down. While she does order Suzaku to execute Todoh like in the original its not a cruel test like in canon but an action forced on her due to political pressure and she genuinely feels bad putting him in that position.
• A Father to His Men: While a bit distant,Alexander cares deeply for all the soldiers placed under command.
• Odd Couple: Alexander and Shirley. One is an aristocrat who grew up with royalty, and is a rising star in the Britannian military, while the other is an ordinary middle class girl.
• Parents as People: Bismark loves Alexander more then anyone else but being the First Knight means that he has many duties across the Empire so he has a rather hands off approach to raising his son. Alexander doesn't hold it against him and loves and idolizes his father.
• Rags to Riches: Alexander started off as a street kid named Soran struggling to survive on the streets of Tehran. After being adopted by the Knight of One he becomes a Britannian aristocrat who grows up alongside royalty in palaces.

Original Version

• Adaptational Name Change: Ali al-Saachez is renamed Hamid, but the name does show up as an alias of his.
• Adaptational Nice Guy: Ali al-Saachez of all people gets this. While still a Jerkass Blood Knight, his most heinous actions from Mobile Suit Gundam 00 such as creating a terrorist cell of Child Soldiers For the Evulz and driving them to kill their parents are absent. He's also given a sympathetic backstory, having lost his parents and brother in the Krugis civil war.
• A Father to His Men: Bismarck is this, and has passed this onto Alexander quite obviously.
• Annoying Younger Sibling: Michael Trinity. And what Carline thinks of Nunnally up to eleven, of course.
• Armor-Piercing Question: Of Type 2, when Princess Marina asks Alexander if he's a boy named Soran and he really gets angry. But thanks to Mena, they solve the misunderstanding which is not a misunderstanding, they are cool now.
• Berserk Button: See above for Alexander. Same with Cornelia when she ripped on Soran because he didn't do anything to impede Euphemia to create the SAZ. She felt bad afterward.
  • Later on, Alexander really wants to kill Luciano as he thinks Luciano responsible for Euphemia's death. He gets some of it right, but not all of it.
• Beware the Silly Ones: The Skirted Devils are a force of girls that fight in sailor-fuku uniforms and the intelligence reports says that they're one of the most vicious anti-Britannian groups.
• Break His Heart to Save Him: An odd example: Villetta is breaking both hers and Graham's hearts, but she is willing to restart their relationship should Villetta survive the war
• Big Badass Battle Sequence: The finale of its equivalent of R1.
• Blood Knight: Hamid, but he has reasons.
• Boot Camp Episode: Part of Alexander's Character Development, his training in the Benedict Arnold Military Academy is described in detail.

• Downer Ending: The Black Rebellion is quelled, Lelouch is captured and Alexander fails to protect Cornelia and is defeated by Hamid.
• Establishing Character Moment: Hamid has his one when he hijacks a Ganymede prototype in Tal Afar, wreaks havoc between the Krugisian military, and then shoots the dog.
  "Sorry guys, but the bastards win every time. And I'm the biggest bastard of them all!"
• Everyone Went to School Together: Princess Cornelia, Nonnette Enneagram, Villeta Nu, and Graham Aker all attended Gloucester Military Academy while Alexander Waldenstein served as Cornelia's page

• Fusion Fic: Characters of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 added to Code Geass universe.
• Gambit Pileup
• Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: Kati Mannequin to Saji, after he discovers his sister killed Euphemia.
• Gray-and-Grey Morality: The EU is not perfect, but it's the lighter shade of gray of the setting. Lampshaded by Hamid:
  "Even the last bastion of freedom and democracy has dirty work that needs doing".
• Good Republic, Evil Empire: Krugis and Britannia. Krugis is portrayed as being pacifists Token Good Teammate to Britannia, but which extent of this reflects the Krugisian society is up to debate ^note Some readers are even suspecting that Krugis is under Alternate History Wank thanks to the Britannian incorporation..
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Michael.
• Hero Antagonist: Lelouch, especially after Euphemia's death. Since, differently from canon, she didn't go nuts and it wasn't him who killed Euphemia, Zero tries to set her as a martyr against the Britannian occupation and rally the Japanese.
• Hero of Another Story: Basically the entire point of the fic, even if Soran is on the Empire's side.
• Heroic BSoD: Alexander suffers a bad one with Empress Marianne's death. His father had to tell a Get A Hold Of Yourself Man speech to him.

• Honor Before Reason: Hamid chastises the Britannians for this trait.
  • And in Fukuoka, it's shown he's Not So Above It All.
• I Can't Believe a Guy Like You Would Notice Me: Pretty much Shirley. She gets complimented by it by Mena.

• Large Ham:
  "Get ready for a surprise! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'RE'S HALLELUJAAAAAAAAH HAAAAPTIISMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAH!"

• Love Is a Weakness: What Graham thought of love during his interactions with Villeta, but Soma makes him realize how wrong he is.
• Love Triangle: Between Graham, Ohgi, and Viletta. See above.
• Male Gaze: Neil and Allejujah Haptism (the latter with teasing of his evil side).
• Meaningful Rename: From Soran to Alexander Bismarck Waldstein.
• Morality Chain: Lelouch realizes, after Geassing Hamid to reveal his motivations, how important Nunnally is to him, or else he would be just like him.
• The Mourning After: Graham to Viletta. However...
• Playing the Victim Card: Nena, when she accuses Alexander of harassing her. Thanks to Mena revealing the truth, it ends fair for him.

  • Carline delivers a particularly jarring one to Cornelia, when she wonders whether she wanted to make Euphie Empress with the blood of the world.
  • Hamid to Kallen, on her terrorist activities.
• Religious Stereotype: Before the Britannian incorporation, East Krugistan was basically filled with fundamentalists, compared with Central Krugis' moderate monarchs and West Krugis' pro-democratic stance.
• The Rival: Hamid to Alexander, to the point of their confrontation in Fukuoka, is almost a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment.
• Secret-Keeper: Lelouch knows about Alexander's past.
• Sexy Santa Dress: Milly as usual, in the Christmas Episode.
• Ship Tease: There is a lot of indications of Shirley/Alexander.
  • And it seems those indications are evolving.
• Shoot the Shaggy Dog: Selim was the only one from Hamid's team to make it alive from the Knightmare hangar in Tal Afar and then Hamid kills him without remorse.
  • Luciano does this to Kinue, however, he gave her a dose of Refrain before she died.
    Luciano: Accept this, the limit of the Vampire of Britannia's compassion."
• Shout-Out:
  Hallelujah: "What's that Siegy? Kill them all? Good Idea!"
• Shower of Awkward: Alexander accidentally sees Cornelia naked and ran away, and then he accidentally stumbles upon a plan of the guys to steal panties from the girls.
• Smitten Teenage Girl: Shirley towards Alexander.
• Terrorist-Killer Terrorist: Hamid.
• Token Minority: Cyrus Abdullah, for some reason that has to be explained yet, is currently the only non-Britannian Knight of the Round. He still gets a lot of racism, though.
• Under the Mistletoe: Alexander and Shirley.
• Undying Loyalty: Alexander refuses to abandon Cornelia when Lelouch requests his services and then he has to use his Geass to make him forget it.
• Villainous Rescue: Jeremiah saves both Lelouch and Cornelia from Carline.
• Villainous Valor: Hamid displays this in the season finale, even considering that's to save his own skin, charging alone at the Britannian forces to ensure their withdraw is an action that demands a lot of courage.
• You Can't Thwart Stage One: The Black Rebellion fails, but with an important difference: most of the Japanese staff managed to evacuate.
• Wham Episode: Chapter 15. Euphemia dies, but in a different way than canon, and we discover that Hamid and Soran are siblings.
• Worthy Opponent. Hamid considers Alexander this, and despite Alexander's hatred of him he privately thinks this as well. In the battle for Magadan, Alexander expresses this sentiment far more openly and less reluctantly about Kallen and her Guren.
• Wise Beyond Their Years: Nonnette believes that Princess Marina is very wise when it comes to war issues.
