All Purpose Code Geass Fanfiction Thread

Well, the Akito the Exiled OV As are set inthe EU so we will get more info about it as it comes along. There's always the Britannian characters to focus on, in any case.

The only problem is how to bring the Japanese characters, mainly Suzaku and Kallen, to the Britannian-EU front. But then again they could have ended under Leila Malcal's W-0 Unit just like Akito.

Japan is a key territory thanks to its sakuradite reserves. If Lelouch (or another major character) gets sent in with an EU team to support the local resistance and screw up Britannia's supply lines, CIA-in-Russian-Afghan-war style... well, you can see where I'm going here.

What's precedent ever done for us?

Attention to all Code Geass fanfiction fans. If you haven't already noticed, Lelouch of Britannia updated. And from the way the story is heading, it doesn't seem like it will be long before CC makes her appearance.

I figured to make a fanfic myself. It's only my second one.

There it is, as well as a troper page.

I'd like some feedback/criticism.

This is Code Geass, if Lelouch was raised by Char Aznable of Gundam fame after Marianne's death (at least that's what the author implies)

Changing Course and I Heard The World are pretty good, if grammatically lacking Fix Fic.

And of course there's also Dirge of Daedalus, a solid Post Fic.

set up a conversation without realising this one exists.

I love Dauntless for reasons as most people do, but I liked it quite a bit for Allora's ability to write Suzaku and Nina very well especially Suzaku as she gets the dynamics between him and Lelouch down very well while not downplaying the flaws of characters like Jeremiah and Cornelia, she is a bit slow in how she moves her story at times and her usage of OC's is mainly very good (Edith and Abigail being very good characters in my view) but sometimes I do think if she could've used a created character instead but this is a minor thing, hope she is able to complete it this year, she has created another Code Geass Fic Weapons of Mass Destruction where it is set in a Japan where Nunnally died during the invasion and Suzaku didn't kill his dad so the roles between him and Lelouch are swapped very interesting and like Dauntless gray as well.

a personal favourite of mine is Colorless Memories by NS Bleach 00 the main character is Rai (my favourite Code Geass character along with Kallen) from Lost Colors and for the first 10 to 20 chapters it does follow both Colors and R1 closely but it does have foreshadowing about events that are coming or come in later chapters and the writer has created an interesting backstory for Rai along with one or two OC's. of course it does suffer from grammar and spelling mistakes from time to time but minor stuff again.

he also has big plans for Kallen and stuff around her family latest chapter Naoto is alive so this is a fic I think that is great and has the potential to go strength to strength, his battle scenes are done well not too long and balanced with the two sides though ymmv will vary.

Love One and Only son by Juubi-K as well I think he plans to incorporate stuff from Sum of Our Choices (his other fic great Deconstruction of the Black Rebellion he hasn't updated that in two years and he has considered deleting it) he's mostly just waiting to see what the next Akito episode brings since he plans to take his tory to Europe soon enough

Currently reading "Code Tekka: The Geass Knight" by kyugan.

And by gods is it epic.

I had an idea once for an AU fic, where Shirley survives. Basically in the scene that Lelouch commands her to live. In canon, As You Know, she dies, but in the fic, she would survive long enough to receive medical treatment (the doctor who got her: "If we saved that chinaman, we can save her!"), with her mumbling "I must live on" during all the procedure. And they succeed.

But that's the effect of the geass, just like Suzaku, but with an even more potent effect, because Lelouch geass-spammed her. The effect is so strong that when Rolo breaks into her hospital bedroom to finish the job, she wakes up, under Geass effect, and breaks his wrist (without even realize, after that she would return to sleep) and this convices him to pull out. So, Lelouch is among the ones that will compliment her on her record recovery, but she has to stay in the hospital for a few days, also a little more psychologically healthy, so no attack on the Geass Order at the moment.

Cue a few more days and Milly goes get a fully recovered Shirley. They lampshade how fast the recovery was and talk things while in the way out. And then, plot twist, a wild mugger appears. When he starts to threaten them, Shirley enters in trance, saying "I must live on". When she recovers the conscience, she sees the mugger horribly beaten up and a horrified Milly asking how she did that. The answer is "I don't know" (Question: does the geass automatically gives these powers? the answer is YUSH!).

Then things get even more complicated with Lelouch, because he tries to protect her but she doesn't need protection. And plot would go back and forth, and then Shirley would disappear. Ragnarok would be different from the anime and at one point Shirley and Lelouch would finally snap at each other and they would separate.

Then plot goes, the final battle at Antartica (which I'd borrow the themes from Ace Combat Zero, especially the last two levels), Shirley would have been brainwashed by the Emperor (again) and fight in a custom knightmare. She would fight Suzaku and Kallen to a standstill and at a moment, she would regain her memories after talking to Lelouch. Then she would join forces with Lelouch to stop the Doomsday Device in a double Heroic Sacrifice (with an ambigous ending).

That was an idea, I'd have carried over if setting of the CG weren't so holey (I mean, I think CG can only be enjoyable if you pay only a little attention to the alternate history and stuff) and if I were a better writer.

Edit: also, please ignore the holes, if I was to write it, I would do something about them.

To be honest, I always found Lelouch of Britannia pretty boring; and some characters are just off. Dauntless is easily my favorite CG fic.

I guess the problem with Lelouch of Britannia is that it never took off. I mean, the details and worlbuilding are amazing, but in the end, the update schedule is the great problem with the fic (not to mention the fact that it spent too much time in season 0, which is also a problem with Dauntless), the characters didn't have time to develop. Also it manages to be a Code Geass fanfic without code or geass. To tell the truth, I'm even afraid that if he introduce code and geass, it might Jump the Shark.

I like Dauntless too and, while it has a glacial pacing, something I talked in my reviews, its updating schedule makes it bearable, otherwise it would be complicated. And, yeah, it has much more interesting OCs and characterization.

Talking about fanfics, what do you guys think of Code Geass Meggiddo?

edited 13th May '13 5:44:54 PM by RN452

My work is here. Current main fic: Tengen Toppa Gurren Solvernia

I have some mixed opinions about Megiddo, I think Wing Zero Alpha is a talented writer he's taken some characters like Gino, Alfred Dalton and others and made them much more interesting but this is a little bit of a double edge sword as when he goes into some of these characters it can hold up his story a bit as some are minor characters how much debatable but it does made some of his chapters a bit tepid to read at times.

he is good at writing battles and making them interesting to a degree but again sometimes they go on for a while and I lose interest in them after a while a example for me would be the martial arts one between Kallen and Suzaku got boring as both just kept going on and on till Kallen used her Geass to win, as did the pearl harbour battle three chapters it went on for and it was about 95,000 words (copy and pasted it into word and got the results from that) that's too long for one battle and not all battles in it were interesting to read.

I do feel he has made Kallen too powerful with her own Geass as she does seem to use it to win easily at times and it detracts from her character and I'm not sure of his reasons for giving her Geass if she is the best pilot in the series that was something I liked about her that she was the only one of the main characters that didn't have supernatural abilities (well that's debatable as some of her skills do seem a little unnatural)but that's his choice and I respect that as it's his fic and he can do what he wants with it.

I do feel he has his work too darky and edgy (his destruction of Japan kinda feels done just for the sake of it and for an excuse to have fighting elsewhere rather for drama as none of the Black Knights seem to be killed off and Britannia is actually behind than them in technology despite controlling most of the world it does get explained but not in a believable way for me it stretches the suspense of disbelief too far for me just my view) plus somehow there's still loads of Sakuradite usage despite 70% of it in Japan and for me it goes into darkness induced apathy territory as all sides seem too dark, too ruthless and it's hard to care for the characters as they all seem to want to kill each other and most characters seem very flawed with not a lot of hint of character development again just my view.

I can understand why he made a five year gap before but he has changed it to eight now I think five was enough as eight years the Black Knights being in hiding is a little bit of a stretch for me and also the Ashford Railroad to get away with their actions for that long. I'm assuming that Charles or Britannia is letting this happen for some reason as it seems to go against the whole idea of Britannia to keep evolving through war and become stronger I know Charles doesn't follow it but a lot of Britannians do and Schniezel is always working on tech but Wing Zero probably does have answers for these questions so wait and see how he answers them.

Again this is just my opinion but I feel he downplays Lelouch's flaws a bit too much while increasing Suzaku's negative points too much as well. When I feel both are flawed to the same degree (there's a reason why we call both of them Byronic hero's)and both did equal damage and both are hypocrites Lelouch admits it but he doesn't do much about it in series plus Lelouch does share some blame for Suzaku going down the path (he did tell him to embrace his hatred and said stupid things in the kanime island cave that didn't help) and some of Lelouch's actions can't really be excused lightly i.e. Euphie yes it was an accident but he overused his Geass when he knewed better not to after seeing the consequences with Mao and what would he have done if Euphie hadn't opened her mouth to say she was giving up the throne). Did he really need to kill General Katase and the JLF ship etc. plus some of his actions in the Zero requiem like blowing up the Sakuradite in the final Battle and then dying to build a very fragile peace and leave the one's he cared about to clean up this mess not really something to take lightly.

Most people including myself tend to treat R2 as mostly Un Canon (the beauty of fan fic which is why we are all here) I always felt the show went wrong with the Euphie massacre just my view as always not sure how I would write round that but the diabolus ex machina was bad writing all round and just served to send Euphie into the fridge when they could've done more with her character.

Not defending Suzaku as his actions like selling Lelouch out, helping his dad mind rape him (course he was still pissed at Lelouch for killing Euphie but it was still inexcusable to do so) and nearly drugging Kallen was inexcusable as well which he got a deserved beat down.

anyways enough that I don't hate either of the two they are both tragic in a lot of ways and I feel for both and I do lean towards Lelouch more (I just wish the guy had swallowed his pride and arrogance from time to time and let go of his obsession with control and put more faith and trust in those around him as these things led him to a very tragic end where he may have done more harm than good). As Suzaku was never going to change things from the inside, but he can't be blamed for some things in the series just my view.

Both let their flaws get the better of them in the end as both were never stable people considering how far both were prepared to go for their goals and Wing does point out some of Lelouch's actions in the fic but I feel he does downplay his flaws too much just my opinion as nearly all characters in Code Geass are flawed to a degree (even the likes of Kallen, Euphie and Nunnally have flaws as well).

Yes Megiddo definitely deserves the reputation it has, it has some great stuff, great writing, and takes some flat characters and makes them more interesting and better all round but the flaws I feel that it has above hold it down and it's a shame as it stops me from enjoying it the way I would like to and the guy has done such a great job on Code Geass fanon wiki it has inspired me to do the same for Colorless memories on TV tropes and on Code Geass fanon wiki with the author of Colorless memories.

what do other people think of Megiddo? should be interesting to find out

edited 14th May '13 10:14:47 AM by romancechina99

I have been wondering myself as to whether to do my own Rai fic as I'm currently doing sidestories for Colorless Memories by NS Bleach 00 which is on fanfiction title is Colorless Memoires sidestories penname Blackmambauk (excuse the advertising) not sure if my work is any good as I do make spelling and punucation mistakes need a beta reader really, would love to work with another writer on it, mostly exploring the side characters I find interesting like the Kyoto house, Diethard (love doing that chapter on that slimball) and newest one will be on Cecile and trying to build and fill in information and stuff on the universe NS Bleach 00 has made.

the idea I'm thinking on Rai would be based somewhat on the JLF route on Lost Colors where Rai would be part of the Japanese army, he would be Warrant officer or Sergeant major rank and would be around 20 or 24 as I would cover years between the invasion and the start of s1, and would have him be around Tohdoh and the four holy swords as I would really like to explore them characters in those years, not sure about what to do about Lelouch and Nunnally (I have thought about maybe either them in Europe, Nunnally alone and Lelouch dead) Suzaku (maybe in the JLF as well as I would make Rai convince not to side with Britannia or something like that haven't decided anything about his father yet) have Naoto alive and with Kallen (might have them linked to the JLF in someway) haven't thought about the other stuff yet.

But this is still in thinking stage so any suggestions, ideas are welcome, if did this fic I would work on it with another writer as I like to focus on character stuff, drama and the setting rather than on action stuff etc. as characterization, drama are what to me help make a work enjoyable (the wire being one of my favourite shows in this regard) but I do like action stuff as well just have no proper motivation or idea how to write them.

I would still do writing on the sidestories since I love helping NS Bleach 00 make his universe just a bit more interesting and i'm really looking forward to seeing where he takes his fic next.

I must say that I have a not different opinion. One thing I love (and keeps me reading) is the writing style. The author shows that he knows how to describe stuff (though he overdoes in battles), I really like it. But the problems you showed are real, the Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy is real and he makes sure to make the world even more crapsack with each new update, to the point that we just want to see Lelouch destroy the world.

My main problem with Megiddo is that I still can't understand how an author of his capacity uses such a cheap and lazy plot device in Rikichi. I mean, the guys is aiming for deep characterization and, from nowhere, tosses a Hitler-expy. Serious, this is lazy writing at its worst! How can the BK cast be so Genre Blind to allow him? This is dumb in-universe and too lazy from the part of the writer. Everyone knows that Rikichi will screw up bad, it screws the immersion of the story.

But again, I must agree with you in the end. The effort he takes on the wikia is admirable, the effort he puts on it is awesome, but Rikichi is the kind of person that can screw the entire story. I still list it among the most well-written fanfics, in sense of literary quality (descriptions, grammar, these stuff), but I wouldn't list it in the overall best fanfics.

My work is here. Current main fic: Tengen Toppa Gurren Solvernia

I suppose the point of Rikichi Shirogane (along with some other members as well) is to show that there are some very questionable people in the Black Knights and that they are only there because their recruitment pool is so low because of the first chapter's events (again I can understand why Wing wanted to take the action away from japan but I do feel he didn't need to destroy Japan in that way) but yeah I do agree with you on Rikichi he does seem to be there just for the sake of it and it doesn't feel he fits in well. I do find the world war two references odd they seem a bit out of place in code Geass and the fascist EU seems a bit overdone as well but it's his decision and a author should always go with what they want to do for the most part.

I can understand Wing wanting to show a really crapsackworld but as I have said before I feel he went too far with it and made the characters, nations too flawed and if the world is this bad now then once Lelouch has destroyed it what will be left and how will it be a better world for people like his sister who he's suppose to be doing this for. But I guess it shows that Lelouch in some ways doesn't really think through his goals and aims in the long term which did show in the canon at times when it came to his friends and some of his decisions which actually show that in a way he is as naïve as Suzaku is but in a different way in that he has his goals and heart in the right place but not his head and common sense at times and it did cost him big times just my opinion as always.

In my work on the sidestories for Colorless Memories I have hinted to some questionable people in the Black Knights as well just to add a bit of gray here and there as I like gray (shows like the Wire and that can fall into Darkness inducted apathy for some as well) as the show unfortunately seem to have the 'evil' people in the Black Knights be Diethard who is a Britannian who I did a chapter on.

Would like to do a chapter in the future that shows the state of Japan after the Black Rebellion. like Sum of our Choices show the realistic consequences of Lelouch's actions and how tough of a job he has rebuilding the country and keeping the tensions low etc. as there would be real problems he would have to deal with but I need to get the chapter done on Cecile first always have wanted to explore her somewhat.

No comments on my own fic?

In RWBY, every girl is Best Girl.

Yeah, I agree that the Lelouch and Suzaku accounts were a little slanted in Megiddo.

(About Zero Requiem, Lelouch was just fucked up beyond repair and wanted an excuse to die because Nunnally was assumed dead and the Black Knights betrayed and almost killed him; he just didn't consider the damage he was causing, in contrast to his relative pragmatism that actually produced results as Zero. I consider it a failing on the narrative deeming it an overall good end.)

You are right Lelouch had gone beyond the Despair Event Horizon by the and of R2 I wasn't discounting that and that did play a part in his actions but I think it is mentioned in one of the pic's drama that Lelouch knewed there were other ways to stop his brother but he didn't take them because he was so caught up in his despair which as I have said before is the tragedy of R2 (that and the rushed, wasted potential of it) as it led him down a much worse path than he should've gone down but of course maybe if he had tried to mend his bridges, swallowed his pride and that then things might've gone differently, I do wonder why didn't any of the Zero members part form Suzaku and C.C try to talk him out.

But then again could anyone have talked Lelouch of this plan with the state he was in (was he screwed up beyond repair, maybe but I do think he could've recovered a bit if he had better luck which he never had) but no point reading too much into it what we got we got maybe one day Sunrise might allow them to redo R2 but I doubt it.

As I have found in nearly all other Byronic's heroes that have been portrayed in fiction all are reliant on the people around them to keep their flaws in check and stop them from heading down a dark path and that definitely shows with Lelouch and Suzaku in Code Geass and the end of R2 shows when these people are either taken from them or they push them away bad happens can and do happen.

That's sort of the point of Byronic Heroes; they are inherently self-destructive. If they had healthier ways of dealing with their issues, they'd just be a standard hero or antihero.

That said, the fact that Lelouch doesn't exactly take well to criticism from others. He'll call himself a demon or evil, but when anyone else does, he tends to act like a child.

And if we are thinking of the same side-story, you have must have a very different translation to the one I read - in the version I haveSource

, Lelouch was smiling and laughing, happy because he has his only friend back. And the exact lines are I may have chosen a different method if I were more like Schneizel ... but for me, this is the only way. My heart and my justice will not allow me to accept any other plan. Then it talks about how it's punishment for sins.

The owner of this account is temporarily unavailable. Please leave your number and call again later.

it's down to every person's own interpretation how to view that scene and Lelouch's but for me it does come across as Lelouch accepting that yes there are other ways to stop his brother (and they were better ways than his plan) which could allow him to redeem what he viewed as his sins and show the world he is a hero of justice but his Despair Event Horizon after losing Shirley, his sister, Rolo etc., his stubbornness and to some degree's in my view his need to be centre of attention as C.C would put it (I think she said something like that once) led to this plan that's how I read his words 'for me this is the only way' and as I have mentioned before feel that this is selfish on his part as his loved ones were left to clear the mess up and to face any threats that would come from this fragile peace being broken as human nature warrants conflict no matter how much the human race advances in tech, wealth and rights etc.

But that's just my view and my interpretation on Lelouch's thoughts near the end of R2 and everyone is entitled to view their opinions and what they view it as.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9344443/1/Armored-Geass-For-Answer-R1 Found this one hiding in the crossover section, I'm not sure if it warrants rec yet but I think it's on the way, basic premise is the Armored Core 4/4A protagonist is thrown into the Code Geass universe right around the Shinjuku Ghetto incident, the Author takes the time to include several of the Lancelot variants and does his best to keep the AC from totally wrecking the tension, the Armored Core protagonist he's designed borders on being a sue but the author has recognized that problem and is working to remedy.

"So long as mankind exists, there will always be battles."

Apparently I wrote this some while ago, and I like the way it looks now, even though I feel my writing style has changed dramatically since I last updated any of my fan fics.

It was an idea about an AU where Lelouch went about trying to conquer Britannia on his own, where he never got Geass or the Black Knigths. I was fascinated by this idea because of the scene where Lelouch mentions how "he planned to conquer Britannia anyway, Geass merely accelerated the process". I was curious about how he planned to do that, so I figured, why not write it myself. Of course, I have little political knowledge, so it fell short as an introduction to that world.

Something else I wanted to see was Lelouch fighting his own alter-ego. I've typically seen Lelouch pitted against Light or Seto Kaiba (for obvious reasons) but never Lelouch versus Zero, except for the last episode of R2 of course. So I figured this would be a good place to use that. Just because Lelouch didn't become Zero and start the Black Knights, doesn't mean someone else couldn't have. That would be the driving point of suspense in the story - who is this other Zero and why/how are they doing what they're doing?

I never got around to writing the rest, but I thought the idea was very original at the time. I've only seen one other fic that did a "What-if Lelouch didn't have Geass/wasn't Zero?" premise since then.

Akira Toriyama (April 5 1955 - March 1, 2024).

I once had a thought where Xing-ke started up the Black Rebellion in China before Lelouch did in Japan - purely for the sake of Hey Its That Voice/Actor Allusion with Hakumen from Blaz Blue - but I never actually wrote anything for it.

just wanted to post to ask if anyone has read Allora Gale's other Code Geass fic Weapons of Mass Destruction http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7881659/1/Weapons-of-Mass-Destruction and what do you think of it, she does mostly focus on the same characters as she does in dauntless but this time it's set in a Code Geass world where Nunnally is dead, Suzaku didn't kill his father and Lelouch serves the JLF, it's quite the read with the author's usual talents at work, darker than dauntless but a great read.

Had a strange idea last night.

Codecaptors.

A mystic adventure, a quest for all time. Each Code possesses a power of its own, Lelouch has to find them to see Britannia pwned!

Basically, the various Geass abilities from across the franchise take the place of the Clow Cards, and are called Clow Codes. Lelouch, with Keroberos as his 'mentor', must track down the Codes before they fall into the wrong hands, and use their mystic powers to ANNIHILATE BRITANNIA!!!!

For anyone wondering, yes, it's a crackfic.
