FanficRecs Warwolf's review
Considering that Suzaku comes damn close to being one in canon, I'd say this isn't too far off. This is the guy who thought it was okay to have his supposed best friend MIND RAPED in canon so he could pursue his own desires at the cost of justice (as Lelouch and much of Japan, if not the world saw it), and was more than willing to murder Lelouch if he ever broke free of the prison they'd forced him into within his own mind, out of his own selfish desire for revenge due to Lelouch actually taking responsibility (albeit in a tragic way) for what happened with Euphy....yeah. He fits this role frighteningly well. He was NOT altogether right in the head from Euphy's death onwards. Not that he was all that sane to begin, with given his Death Seeker mentality and all before that but....
FanficRecs Arc Varanus's review
note The scenario, while dark, seems like a natural development of the tone of the final few episodes. Same with the characters, the author obviously took great care to consider how each person's would develop in the five-year timeskip at the start of the story. Special mention goes to the Knights of the Round, particularly Gino and Bismark. All in all, a great fic that may prove to rival Lelouch of Brittania, IMO.

How R2 should have been written. It's a rollercoaster of action and suspense, even as far back as the beginning. The Black Knight leaders play so well off each other that it seems completely natural. Seems to have some shades of Kallen/Lelouch, but nothing has developed so far.

One thing i'd like to note, is that in addition to making Suzaku an unambiguous villain, the author also plays down many of Lelouch's more evil qualities to make him an unambiguous hero. I know that there are plenty of people who just saw it that way in the actual series, and there's nothing wrong with that, but i personally love the moral ambiguity of Code Geass, and i consider it a strike against this story for getting rid of it. Still a really good story though... even if it does drag on at a lot of points.
