Instead of a witch, he gets a vampire; instead of a geass, he gets a double-edged gift; instead of an enemy, he gets...
Written for cg_flashfic, grendelity. I went for "AU", although there may not be as much AU as there should be. Clearly I'll have to write more from this universe. Anyway, the end result is similar to canon up until Kamine Island, which is this fic. ( Read more... )

Mysterious post-R2 Lelouch has a fate worse than death to deal with. C.C.'s craving for pizza? ...He might be exaggerating a little.
Contains implications of Lelouch/C.C., the faintest suggestion of Suzaku/Lelouch, and AU endings for the series. Written for someone who had a traumatizing day.

.dreaming.
( The laundry's all blown away. I thought you might like to know. )

A year after that betrayal, a man made out of stone begins to crack.
This was written with 10_switched in mind. That means genderswap. Covering the year timeskip before we get back into the proper narrative... The story will be moving more AU from here on out.

.a clever disguise: interlude.
( Suzaku was the only one who knew the real Leloucia vi Britannia. So he was the only one who could judge her. )

All the words she never said, all the things she never did, come back to haunt her in the end. Turning the clock backwards only reveals every little mistake.
This was written with 10_switched in mind. That means genderswap. You've been warned! Also this is terribly depressing as far as Valentines' fic goes, so uh. Enjoy.

.a clever disguise: romance.
( Leloucia didn't know if she could be held accountable for her actions. She could throw the laptop out a window. Scream. Or maybe she wouldn't do anything at all. She was so good at that. )

More than her planning, more than her war, Leloucia cherishes her family and the few friends she can truly lean on. She's never been able to let go of the past. Not easily. Not like C.C.

.a clever disguise: breakfast.
( That damn white Knightmare had been agitating her so much she'd begun to get careless. Tearing out of the clubhouse in the morning before even having breakfast... What had she been thinking? )

Shirley likes Lelouch. Suzaku thinks this is a problem, because Lelouch doesn't exist. When Leloucia completely fails to help the situation, he steps in.

.a clever disguise: weather.
( He wasn't going to use that silly nickname, and he wasn't going to use the name she was registered under; he was just going to keep calling her a girl's name until someone noticed and started asking awkward questions. )

Suzaku reunites with an old friend under very unexpected circumstances. He wasn't expecting her to be masquerading as a boy, for one thing.
This was written with 10_switched in mind. That means genderswap. You've been warned!

.a clever disguise: beginnings.
( Like the women in the old samurai stories, defending what little home she had with naginata and life-breath. )

After regaining his memories, Lelouch prepares to go back to a death trap anyway. Someone is not pleased.
Fleeting Lulu/Kallen. Written for misaoshiru who had a bad morning and an angsty Turn 25. :3

.underestimated.
( If I don't keep up the pretense, Nunnally will pay the price. )
