Your Only Sin is that You are King
When I read parts of the CG Wikia there were some confusing parallels I found:
1. Official site states that Julius appeared between R1 and R2, but almost other CG fans I know posted vids that explains Julius after R2.
2. C.C. was the former leader of the Geass Directorate in Akito the Exiled, which takes place in the middle of R1 and R2.
3. While in R2 we are satisfied that Lelouch destroyed the Geass' existence except for his and a few others, in Akito the Exiled and Oz the Reflection, the Power of the Kings had spread way too far. And a lot of them are similar to Lelouch's (yes, I know why, but I'm trying to combine all three)
Theory #1 is discarded because I chose to follow what the official site speculates. And thus, this fiction's R2 will be very different. Mostly because I intend to stick with the change, and Lelouch is… well, you know.
Theory #2 is what I loved very much. I still have not yet made up my mind about whether C.C. will enter the Order or not, but that fact makes me pumped up to write my abandoned CG project. Thus, this one would be optional. Your opinion would be appreciated.
When I discovered Theory #3 I had mixed feelings about it. I originally wanted to limit the scope, but I found a much better idea to utilize Code and Geass so I was not too bothered by the many-many-many-many characters that has the same Geass as Lelouch's. Although, I will DEFINITELY alter them in my story (especially Shin's rip-off!)!
Please realize that I've been implying that I have no absolute knowledge about the original plot and characters… so please do not depend on your database for this fiction. It is purely from scratch… I'm a terrible researcher. I neither read nor watch the three Code Geass adaptations and I'm DETERMINED to combine them because I have 4 perfect plots ready for 4 CG Fanfics I'm going to write which are not even remotely similar, they are very different, and great to work for my mood because I love originality.
I must warn you that almost all the characters will have different story life, personality, and quirks I shall inject into them. They're all going to be different because,
1) I must create threads of fate for their lives to interfere with each other and to dissolve the paradox element of the three anime
2) Wikia is not that detailed and I do not possess photographic memory
3) I am not the owner or writer of the original Code Geass (which is very sad indeed :/)
I'm still primarily focusing the story around Lelouch and Suzaku(-centric, mostly). Because, of course, the more the characters, the more will DIE. Because egocentric aristocrat system is bad. It needs to freakin' die. Seriously. Bad. System. Needs. To. Freakin'. Die.
And… um… PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF I'M SLANDERING THE KMF SECTOR! I just cannot remember whose Knightmare is this- which Knightmare is this- did this Knightmare even appear at this time frame- I'M SORRY! But mecha is not my forte D: I'm a reader first and a writer a very-very-very-very close second. It would have my first, if I fully discard my social life. :p

December 13th, 8:04 AM
Imperial Palace in Pendragon, formerly San Antonio, Texas
He let out a bellowed sigh. She adamantly shut her mouth, not wanting to give any reaction to him.
"Lelouch,"
The Imperial Children rarely spoke to the Emperor. Only those who managed to make use of them in significance would gain a modicum of his attention. When they do speak to him, it was either by video message or in an audience.
So she was not sure whether he had always referred her with her first name or her- former- title. She had only spoken with him a few times. And as much as she liked to say she had nothing in common with her former siblings, they all had one thing in common- lack of father bonding.
No wonder they were all a mess of spoils. They only had rich mothers who had to share one man.
She was not going to refer him with his title. Despite the disdain that would no doubt leak in her tone, calling him with his title would indicate respect. All she knew of him is that he neglected the world. She had yet to see that strategic mind that was supposedly unbeatable of his, and what contributed to his campaign over Alaska and Quebec when he was thirteen, thus she had no respect for a man who had considered her near war trivial.
But she wasn't going to call him 'Father' like she used to either.
"Zero," he said, as if amending himself. So he was either not bothered by her silent treatment or he really didn't care what she thinks.
After a small pause, he continued. "You are a clever young woman, Lelouch."
A non-describable feeling crept up on her spine, and she refused the urge to look down.
They do not start a conversation with such sincere praise.
"You are also an inexperienced one."
…Of course. His unexpected praise made her forgot that the two of them always subtly insult the other, however thickly veiled the double meaning was. Experience: The most perfect reason to invalidate every argument from people younger than the debate's counterpart.
Enough. I have closed the investigation. The terrorists has been captured and gunned down. My wife's death is avenged.
Those words had been haunting her mind in her entire trip to Japan. How could he just hush up a murder in Pendragon like it was nothing?
"I left you with nothing but your clothes and your crippled little sister and you proved yourself," another pause, "You have surpassed my expectations. To be able to push the mighty Britannia with nothing but a ragtag group of rebels; you are strong. You are of use to me. As such;
I am going to erase your memories."
Lelouch stared at Charles for several long seconds.
"Geass," she whispered, a horrible feeling twisting in her stomach.
She glanced at Suzaku, and she didn't even know what she was looking for – some insult that he won't allow himself to say, to bail her out and suddenly declare his unwavering loyalty, to slap her and she'd wake up on his face with him joking 'What, got a bad dream, Ru?'
It clearly wasn't helping her mental health, was it?
She could feel a sick thrill of fear-anticipation in his gaze, and hated the fact that it wasn't solely disgust. She swallowed thickly, forgetting the standard procedure of how to take even breaths.
Her gaze darted back to Charles as he continued, and she could feel Suzaku's eyes resting on her in turn.
"You will forget about Zero."
Her hands didn't move. Her body didn't shake as she saw Charles rise up from his throne, as if he hadn't done such a thing for years. The way he descended from the stairway, and raised his arms to declare his judge.
"You will forget about Marianne."
Despite the severity of her imminent future she almost laughed. He actually had the audacity to try and imitate her. And it was so sloppily done too.
It was appalling work. He missed the entire point.
"You will forget about Nunnally."
Suzaku. Sweet, gullible, stupid Suzaku. Her best friend. The bastard. The traitor. THE IDIOT.
The pilot of the Lancelot's tanned hand almost crushed the exiled Princess' face. Squeezing her left eye shut and clamping down her mouth, she could do nothing but trash around in futility as her remaining eye- royal purple much like her Father unlike her every other sibling.
"Forget!"
Her scream was muffled by Suzaku's hand as the Geass crane leapt between the most feared eyes across the world and penetrated her mind, rotating her brain chemistry with unknown methodology, rewriting her history, erasing her humanity, stripping her free-will and identity.
This is why she hates Britannia.
She could feel the tiredness of not sleeping for 48 hours straight catching up, overcasting the foreign feeling of forgetting her own name. If… if she ever came back- came back? She'd… she…
I'm tired.
Suzaku finally let go of her face when he felt her tremble died down into small shudders. Still kneeling down on one knee, he put an arm on her waist, and the other on her neck, letting her head loll as if she's kneeling in front of the Emperor.
For a moment, he wished she was instead dead. He wished her spirit would sit beside him, screaming in deafness while witnessing what he was implying by positioning her body like this. To bow her head in front of her Father would be utter humiliation to her.
Zero; he hated her. He hated the masked person that had consumed Lelouch. Perhaps he could never hate Lelouch, but he knew what she hated. And she was Zero. He hated Zero. And he knew she hates humiliation nearly above all.
That stupid pride of hers is what got her into this mess in the first place, he thought. Justified, accused a horrible voice he had no qualm to squash.
The Emperor let silence befell upon the two. Taking his sweet time to think how he should use his impudent but brilliant daughter for, and it was not long until Suzaku felt Lelouch's body limp on his hold, succumbing to the cursed Geass.
That sick power of stripping people's free will… V.V. worded it as a wonderful sensation, but Suzaku knew it was to be blamed for everything. Euphy's death, Nunnally's kidnap, Lelouch's very identity; it was all because of that power's mere existence.
Charles seemed to notice Lelouch's sleeping form, and his sudden booming laughter almost caught Suzaku off guard.
No matter how many times she vehemently denies it she really was her father's daughter.
When he gripped Lelouch's slack jaw and lifted her face, Suzaku almost flinched at the sheer mockery displayed on his eyes. He nearly twitched in horror; expecting that damned geass that is to blame for all of this to flare. Lelouch's eyes were softly closed, none of those twisting frown or righteous rage distorting her facial expression. Her head leaned on her father's hand, as if she missed his caress, though Suzaku was sure she'd blame it on gravity in a heartbeat.
The older man let her go and stepped back.
"What do you wish to do with her now, Your Majesty?" He inquired, not moving from his kneeling position.
His praises had took him aback, but he was honestly- morbidly- curious what the Emperor would use Lelouch for.
"Lock her up for the time being." After a moment of silence with nothing but the rustle sound of Suzaku lifting Lelouch's body with mild difficulty, Charles turned to face the two seventeen, nearly eighteen year olds.
"Knight of Seven."
Suzaku stiffened, and faced the Emperor, now the only person in the world he had to answer to with his position as an official Knight of Rounds. "Yes, Your Majesty?"
"Lelouch vi Britannia is now nothing but a blank canvas. Do what you wish with her. But when she wakes up, I want you to say this to her before you mutter anything else..."
Suzaku refused to take a glance at Lelouch who was disturbing him by softly breathing onto his collarbone, and tried to listen at nothing but the Emperor's orders.
"…Do you understand?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Emperor took a good look at his new knight, as if he didn't believe Suzaku's conformation, before nodding and walking towards his throne. "Good. You are dismissed. Bismark will prepare your trip. You best be ready to move right away, before my wayward daughter wakes up."
His footsteps echoed in the empty halls.
9:10 AM
Pendragon
Under no circumstances was she ever to move out of her room. Her importance as a tactician was so great, that if a word of her arrival got leaked to the EU then she would instantly be taken hostage. She was to be locked up in her chamber and with only her knight to see her needs satisfied.
Of course, that was the official story.
He could care less where he would put Lelouch. He wished he could just lock her up in a coffin, but that wouldn't benefit anyone. Not even him. His victory over her… it felt hollow. Despite being knighted he didn't feel like he had gained anything. Lelouch… Zero was still alive.
And she was sleeping in peace on his bed, while he took a shower and dressed in his Knight of Rounds uniform. Looking at himself on the mirror, there wasn't even a prickle of satisfaction for the white uniform that represented his status.
He was the Knight of Seven. And… what? He couldn't even change Britannia from within. Lelouch… she was right. Again. Britannia was too corrupt, and he finally realized it. He had saw Lelouch and Nunnally as his guideline, that not all Britannia is corrupt. And he really believed it when he found Euphy. She could change Britannia! Her way, her personality, her ideals and with her status as a Princess she can bring Japan back.
Fate must have hated him for giving up on Japan; turning his only true friend to kill his only true love.
He had loved her- Euphy. And he couldn't even save her. Not Lelouch. Not Nunnally. Not even his father.
His temporary room in the Palace's guest villa was a bit secluded on the corner west wing, and no one heard Suzaku's heavy breathing, holding Lelouch's unconscious body up by her neck.
But he couldn't kill her now.
She is to be used thoroughly for Britannia.
When the signs of discomfort and lack of breath came Suzaku let go of Lelouch, and she fell backwards on the back. There was no telling whether Lelouch would regain her memories again. But Suzaku would make sure, that if she ever will, he will see to it that she had been used as a Britannian icon, her worst humiliation as Zero.
There was no sound but his silence and her disturbed breathing. The hitch he noticed signaled her awakening. Still bound in the white asylum body-suit that was so odd on her, she failed to sit up and only managed to flutter her eyes, red rings only visible if one focused on their sclera, and Suzaku's level of sight was the same as her disgraced form.
He stared at her vulnerability with concealed fury iced under his veins. Geass… was truly a terrible thing. How it came to exist, exactly how it could do all those miracles he'd never know.
He knew that when this girl wakes up he won't see that frustrating best friend of his, that loving sister of Nunnally, that hated persona who killed Euphy.
She was just staring at him, like a baby who was doesn't know what to do with a chocolate dangling in front of them. The sheer expectation on her royal purple eyes…
"Your name is Jules Kingsley." He recited what the Emperor told him. This was the beginning of his first real mission, painting the blank paper with words like broken crayons, expecting her imagination to connect the broken pieces and create a new set of false life, false history, false identity, fake everything.
As soon as the last syllable of the obviously foreign name escapes his Japanese tongue, the red rings glowed briefly, registering it in her brain.
Oh, if only Lelouch had a duplicate holed up somewhere around here, Suzaku thought, witnessing what he was doing to this body, she'd be horrified. She was almost nothing but prideful, and here he is molding her into a tool for Britannia.
"You are Britannia's Military Advisor." There was a sudden flicker on her blank eyes, before it morphed into acceptance.
"You were captured by terrorists and your left eye was injured while you were being held hostage, as such you will wear an eyepatch from now on." He took a keen look at Lelouch's left eye, daring Lelouch's geass sigil to morph out of that otherwise beautiful royal purple.
"By order of His Imperial Majesty, you are to be escorted by me to conduct all Eastern front operational planning to-" say it!
You will destroy the EU.
Anything he'll say will come true.
Anything he'll say right now will be Lelouch's- no, Jules' character ambition. She deserves humiliation. She deserves to be destroyed. Lelouch's ambition had done nothing good. She was just spreading more tragedy. In the end, she lost. There was nothing she can do to change the world.
Nunnally, we'll secure the bomb. It's okay, don't panic. If me and Lelouch work together, we can do anything right?
But he won't let her destroy anyone else anymore. She could destroy the EU. He believed she could do it.
And she'd spill blood along the path.
Only she could do miracles…
He stared deep into her eyes, particularly on the slight pink rim that was so out of place and unnatural.
Anything he'd say, she will make it true…
Lelouch. Cold, demanding, independent Lelouch. His best friend. The bitch. The traitor. THE MORON.
He could never understand her. And she could never understand him. How they became best friends they would never know. Their personalities were just too strong, Nunnally had said once.
He remembered what he said to her, during their first encounter; when he didn't know she was his dear Lelouch and only viewed her as a stranger who rescued him by creating panic on the innocent mass watching him.
The results… That's all you care about, isn't it?
The means doesn't matter as long as the end justifies it.
He'd prove her wrong. She'd prove him wrong. In the end, though, they both lost. His redemption and collaboration failed, while her revenge and rebellion lost.
When we're together, we can do anything. So, will you join me, Suzaku?
…No.
You're wrong. You will join me, Lelouch.
"To…" he hesitated, but dispelled the sudden voice of his conscious screaming 'No' away, "to combat the conflict in the EU…
…and you are to help me…
…to achieve World Peace."
He let the silence consume them, ashamed to have disobeyed his first order already, but it was necessary, Lelouch would have said.
Besides, it was a way to change Britannia, right? And if Lelouch would work with him, he might- he might change her ways too. He might-
-bring the old Lelouch back.
She was still looking at him as if he was supposed to do something else. It was unnervingly familiar, before the stretched silence was broken by her soft voice.
"…Alright." After that, the optical signal of geass effect died down, and Lelouch rested her left cheek on the bed, her right eye staring at his kneeling form. Her eye followed him as he stood up, meaning…
"And you are?" the tone of her voice reminded him of her old personality, that snobbish little girl who kept lying to sweet Nunnally, telling her beautiful things to describe the Japan's war zoned state. Expectant. Unimpressed.
He was honestly insulted.
"Suzaku Kururugi, Knight of Seven." He introduced himself in a robotic manner, concealing his disgust to help her get up and unwind her bodysuit straps.
He was positive the recognition in her eyes was merely his imagination. "And we are in… Where are we?" She asked, never letting her gaze off of him. He offered to help her stand up. She batted his hand away lightly and got up to her feet, nearly stumbling down but managed to stand up straight. The white clothes hanging on her contrasting her black Zero costume Suzaku was imagining her in.
"The guest villa in Pendragon."
"When do we leave?" she asked absently in turn. Distracted- of something.
"Immediately."
Then there was a knock on the door, but no inquiry came. Slightly dreading it for unknown reasons, Suzaku opened it, and visibly clamped up when he saw it was V.V.
The little blonde prick entered the room and faced Lelouch- Jules. Their size difference aside, V.V. looked at her as if she was a child, which, she sort of resembled at the moment with the way she tilts her head in silent confusion.
"Your uniform. Don't lose the eyepatch." It was then Suzaku noticed V.V. was holding a bundle of black clothes.
The androgynous immortal stalked out of the room, before stopping to remark. "Make sure she's safe. Of course, it's His Majesty's wish." Even if the distrust Suzaku felt was obvious to him V.V. left the two teenagers.
Jules didn't say anything, merely unbuttoning her bodysuit as she went into the bathroom.
December 13th, 11:14 AM
Transcontinental Aerial Line
His first task was a simple escort mission.
"Wow, this is… impressive," Suzaku murmured, staring at the spread in front of him. He was now a Knight of the Rounds, and it was a little weird to see several Seconds and even a couple Britannian servants bowing to him.
They cower in his presence too.
This was his first task. He had only been a Knight of Rounds for a day and yet the people he encountered so far acknowledged him.
The power in one measly title, Lelouch would have said.
His lips thinned.
Now that he really had time to cool off, staring at the endless plains of Kostroma's rural view down below, honestly, he felt a heavy regret for rejecting Lelouch. Or more specifically, he regretted choosing his revenge on Zero over saving Nunnally.
Lelouch was being a narcissist back then. 'Help me find Nunnally for now' Ha! Who does she think he is? Her usual "yes men"? Zero just killed Euphy in the worst possible way and the first thing Lelouch said to him is to help her?!
Worst is, he was too distraught to notice that she was, well, of course she said those stupid things! Nunnally was basically everything to her.
His fingers tightened on the cutlery.
Satirical. He had come to really appreciate his friendship with Lelouch through Nunnally's eyes- the blind girl was the only person in the world who will ever get to see that nice side of Lelouch.
Through time and hardship, Lelouch let that side of her out around him too. Most of the time. Those times was when they would really laugh together, and delude themselves that they're going to have fun forever and ever.
But 7 years didn't lessen her hatred at all.
He had been grieving inside. His Father just didn't know when to give up. Neither he nor Lelouch would give up on anything so quickly, but his Father was fighting a losing battle. He saw the stats, his predictions, the reports in his office. Japan was dead already, there was no more stock. No reinforcements coming. And Genbu Kururugi used pride as an excuse to establish that do or die army command.
And while he was putting up a front, thinking how he would redeem his sin, Lelouch came out of the berry bushes, empty handed and relatively dirty, swearing that she would destroy Britannia to him.
He tried some of the meat, feeling the flavor melt in his mouth.
Seeing her joking, smiling, studying (again, as always), doting on Nunnally in Ashford Academy he had really, really believed that she had actually hit her head and forgotten her oath.
Oaths were sacred. They were not to be taken lightly.
Lelouch took her promise to create a better world for Nunnally way too far. While he took the highway path.
The useless path.
He thought that being a Knight of the Rounds he would be able to change Britannia. He always firmly believed that. He'd work with the system, and he'd prove Lelouch wrong.
She proved that she was right. Again. As always.
Zero was gone. Lelouch's hatred towards Britannia was gone. But here he is sitting and eating and unable to think what to do with his position.
Nunnally vi Britannia was missing, and was probably dead. And as long as she was missing, there was- ironically- absolute zero percent chance Lelouch vi Britannia will come back, killing Jules Kingsley.
Speaking of her…
He finished his magnificent breakfast quickly and left the dining room.
Suzaku didn't bother knocking before he slowly opened the door to Jules' chamber. He never did in the past with Lelouch, even after meeting again for the first time since 7 years, and despite wishing to forget about Lelouch and Zero and her rebellion his body was on automatic, so he let himself in, noting that Lelouch was still in the bathroom.
Half of him wanted to leave the room, and if possible, jump out of the train and let Lelouch deal with the EU alone. But she's Jules now. No more Lelouch. No more Zero. Just an amnesiac girl. A frighteningly smart one that had been the leader of the Black Knights.
His smiled bitterly. His counterpart reflected on the wall mirror beside him revealed that his gaze got colder.
What had he done wrong? He killed his father to prevent the Prime Minister from sacrificing lives with his do or die war tactic.
What had she done right? She killed thousands of lives, and hundreds of innocents for her selfish ambitions to destroy Britannia. She destroyed the name of her own siblings- he knew she loved Euphy. She used people with geass as if humans are pawns. Chess pawns; he figured from her code for Kallen.
Q-1. He briefly wondered if there was a second queen. A second ace. It would probably be that green haired girl who was in the Gawain's cockpit with her. Or if she had a dozen knightmare elites, Elevens she manipulated to join the cause of Black Knights.
'Imposing your will on other people is wrong, Suzaku' my ass.
He might have laughed at the sheer hypocrisy if he managed to not look like a mad man. He had drawn the conclusion that Geass is a form of people's deepest personality. Lelouch had once told him she'd love to be an aspiring leader. Well apparently, Lelouch is Miss-I-want-to-people-to-obey-my-every-whim.
So why does she get to forget her sin, while he had to wallow in his punishment all alone. Why does she get spared by fate?
"I can't decide if this is satisfying or embarrassing," spoke a soft voice, like serene wind, but as loud and captivating as a church bell. The way she spoke was reminding him of that green haired girl in the Zero's Gawain, as if she was a wise woman explaining something stupid to a child.
There she was standing, the uniform still neatly folded on her hands, wearing nothing but clad in a white towel which, thankfully, didn't show much of her skin besides her arms and legs.
He reluctantly lowered his head to show humility. He was duty bound to be her… escort. He was not her knight.
Temporary (thank kami).
"My apologies. I had assumed you were done. I shall take my leave." Not wanting to spend any second unnecessary around her, he turned around.
"Suzaku, you're Japanese right?"
Suzaku, you're Japanese right?
His head snapped up immediately. He paled as he faced her. He felt his knees about to give in, looking at that odd, cheerful smile on her pale face so similar to her…
At the moment, she was a monster beyond cure to him.
I actually had written this until 6.147 words, but I'm a bit stuck- not because of writer's block, but because I'm having an exam 2 weeks later and I have to finish 8 thesis' and 4 homework until Thursday, I need to finish my school duties first, which is why in case I actually have writer's block in the next few days, I could send you the next chapter- albeit relatively shorter next week or two- assuming my quota doesn't ran out. And that no robbers would sneak in and steal my most precious laptop. Seriously -_- we live in an age where the pizza guy gets to your house before the police.
Anyway, I'm promoting my previous Code Geass fiction "V.C.", it's a Code Geass x Guilty Crown, it's about 5k words and it focuses on Lelouch VS V.V. and Shu VS Yuu because, it centers around the enigmatic Power of the Kings, the Geass and the Void- and don't forget the Code. Recently, I never posted anything unless I reached 6k words, and after I finished the first chapter I immediately posted it and left it in favor of writing another plot of the story (the origin of that 4 perfect plot I mentioned) and this is a realllly bad habit, cause I ended up letting people down with the wait due to my accelerated school curriculum. How do people in university had time to write those awesome, 10k words per chapter in a 50-100 pages of fanfics and HUNDREDS of stories? I'm jealous. Is it because they're supported by their friends? Cause if that's the motivation then I sorely lacked it, seeing as I'm forbidden from opening this site and no one knows... internet's anonymity is convenient for spilling one's heart out.
Reviews are loved :)
Thank you for reading! And I hope you enjoy it!
Before I leave, I need to remark that this fiction will be M-rated in next few chapters. I'm wondering if you want me to pair Julius with anyone? Except Akito. I'm liking Lelouch/Suzaku recently, but it would be a pretty long time before I can make it work because Suzaku is still in love with Euphy and clinging to the past- which I hinted when he imagined Lelouch in her Zero outfit. If you want it to be Lelouch/Suzaku, wish 97% granted, but it has a 99% chance of leading into hate/love relationship. I'm asking if you'd like me to pair Julius with anyone else first, like- I don't know, Schneizel? He does find kindred spirit in Lelouch only, considering that he doesn't keep close relationship with anyone else other than his siblings and Kanon, and the only one nearly as smart as him from them is Lelouch. I don't really care about age, just so long as they're not too old nor too young. Maybe a fling with Shin, don't know. Romance isn't a focus, but who the character loves does play a big part in reasoning their decisions. And right now, Lelouch felt no love with Nunnally gone.
Speaking of her sweet little sister... do NOT expect me to keep the cripple in the dark. I'm having BIG plans for her. I do not like the fact that her character was slandered and only served as Lelouch's and Suzaku's connection. She just has so much potential!
And plain little Euphy will return in the scene.
BOOM!
