YMMV / Dauntless (Allora Gale)

• Arc Fatigue: Surprising, considering how fast it updates, but it's there.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Several of the original characters have taken on this status, including Abigail, Lelouch's assistant Edith, and Nina Einstein.
• Fan-Preferred Couple: Hilariously, Lelouch X C.C. is ironically not the Fan-Preferred Couple for this fic (considering Lelouch x C.C. IS this trope in Code Geass fandom). More and more people find themselves ACTUALLY wanting Lelouch and Abigail (his wife that he can't stand) to be end game for sure. Rarely ever do you hear of an OC that isn't actually the official love interest, that fans want to end up with your main character. Go fig.
• Jerkass Woobie: Abigail, sort of.
• Moral Event Horizon:
  • As in canon, Clovis's ordering the ghetto's massacre is this (though unlike canon, he has the added motivation of wanting to kill Lelouch.)
  • There's one infic for Lelouch when he kills over a thousand people during a military campaign, most of whom were refugees. Although he didn't know they were there at the time.
  • Chapter 75 has Kenshiki bombing Ashford Academy by using an innocent unsuspecting girl wanting to be like Euphemia(who has recently been revealed to be attending) to plant a bomb there, killing and injuring scores of innocent britannian girls; naturally Lelouch is utterly infuriated at the gall and way it was done(the terrorist in question impersonated Suzaku to smuggle in the bomb, which really offended both Lelouch and Suzaku, as well as using the aforementioned clueless girl). This act also sent Euphemia into a sort of breakdown as she was one of the ones injured in the attack, and she knew she unknowingly helped the terrorist kill and cause injury to her schoolmates as well as to try and kill her.
• Nausea Fuel: The description of experiments made on C. C., in chapter 76.
• Rescued from the Scrappy Heap:
  • One of the more rounded and sympathetic portrayals of Nina, who tends to be either ignored or pigeonholed as a Psycho Lesbian and/or one-dimensional bigot in Code Geass fanon.
  • Lelouch's wife Abigail attained this status for many readers when more of her character beyond being a Rich Bitch was revealed.
  • Some fans admitted that they're finding themselves liking Suzaku again despite hating him in the canon.
• The Woobie: Nunnally, oh so very much. Slowly becoming an Iron Woobie.
