FIC: The Emperor’s Waltz

[realms-of-life.livejournal.com]

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.

O_O The horrific images that fic's title gave me broke my brain D:

Apart from that, I absolutely loved it <3 Write more please <3

...I'm not sure how to say this. Although you do wonder what's going to happen to Lelouch after that and you could argue about the politics that follow the Britannian Emperor's killing by the PM of Japan (hero appellation and whatnot), yet it's one of those writings that I can enjoy whichever direction it takes without fussing over the background details.

If I can give my comment without elaborating, it would be "poetic imageries, understated grandeur, and white all over." And "Because I'm alive" made me tear up a bit ;_;. To put it simply, I liked it ^^.

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 TEH PLEASANT INSANITY.

You really should continue this if you are going to.
Maybe next time V.V. will be in there?*feels like only person who likes V.V.*

...And like everyone said,I imagined the Emperor dancing when I first saw the title,except it was more of a formal,do-it-by-myself lonesome waltz.
