My small contribution to this very addictive fandom. :-)

Title: The Emperor’s Waltz
Summary: Empires may grow and crumble, but music plays forever.
Characters: Lelouch and Suzaku. A little C.C.
Rating: T maybe?
Spoilers: Oh, yes (probably 24-25)
Author’s Note: I love Lelouch, the incurable Sagittarius. I guess it shows.
Yes, I’m having fun at Shakespeare *and* Pet Shop Boy’s expense. Shoot me. :-)
And thanks to verity_isle I will always associate Code Geass with birds.

Okay...WOW.

Seriously, this is a gorgeous piece. The imagery in it is striking and it has a very fairy tale-like quality which I really adore. The imagery of C.C. dancing around, of Nunnally's death and Suzaku's betrayal, and the old man's death are all very striking. But the end...the end makes me smile because Lelouch is indomitable. He can't be stopped, not even when losing an eye and because there's so much truth in what you've done.

I really loved it. Thank you for sharing. ♥

Oh, that was really nice. Especially coming from a talented person like you. :-)

I'm kind of proud of the end as well, because that is how I see Lelouch. He is not strong, he his not a hero, he is not an anti-hero, he is not half as smart as HE thinks he is. BUT he is completely indomitable. No matter how much they try to supress him, he always crawls back and survives, he always manages to look beyond his defeats. I truly love him for this. :-)
