The last pieces of my Sweet Sanity

I've been drabbeling and this one the results. By mixing code geass with the realm of fairytales, I created Code Geass: Once upon a... It will be a humorous take on grimm and realistic classic fairytales of Anderson and Grimm.

------------------------------------------

"Checkmate"

"WHAT!?"

</div>

Once upon a time, in a land far far away, in peaceful Holy Empire of Britannia there lived a beautiful prince...

"MARIANNE!!!!!"

Umm perhaps in the not so peaceful Empire, thanks to certain prince. Perhaps I start with should with beginning... Since the start of the reign of 98th Emperor Charles zi Britannia, the Holy Empire of Britannia has conquered quite some countries. Emperor Charles a strong and powerful leader however like any mortal man, he has his weaknesses. Now our great Emperor of Britannia has a fondness for well-endowed beauties (and the man has too many well-endowed consorts to disapprove this theory). Now because of this Charles has many children... most of them are plain and fade in background, the talented ones shine while others... are more trouble then they worth. Now our hero (or anti-hero I suppose) belongs the to last category. Seventeenth heir to throne, the Eleventh Prince Lelouch vi Britannia

It's wasn't an unfamiliar sight for the servants and guards too see their great Emperor storm and rage through the halls of the Imperial Villa at Aries, the home of Marianne vi Britannia and her children. They also knew when he reached their Mistress office he would already calmed down a bit. But unfortunately for Marianne that wasn't the case this, whatever her son did had made his father very, very angry.

Yes dear readers, at times like this it's Empress Marianne's who has to face her husbands anger instead of their son. It's widely known that Charles loves his children even though sometimes they are more trouble then they are worth. It's widely known, that he fears for the Imperial treasury, each time First Princess Guinevere su Britannia and Clovis la Britannia the Third Prince (the two are shopaholics) are in one of their moods. Or that he doesn't know what to do with Third Princess Euphiemia because the poor girl is so naive or with her overprotective older sister Cornelia li Britannia, for who Charles fears he will never find a husband (or for Euphie in that matter). Nor does he know what to do with Schneizel's interest in his pink haired aide Kanon of who's sex Charles still isn't sure of. Yes it was hard to be a good father to so many children.

Marianne vi Britannia knew she should have listen to her heart when she discovered her oldest child missing from his room and gone ridding with daughter but no she had finish those rapports. And now her she was, waiting for the doors of her office to slam open the moment she heard Charles' angery voice.

Must Read Fanfiction - Code Geass (UPDATE)

I've decided to start a list of fanfiction who absolutely worth reading. After all sometimes certain great fanfics are ignored for those who have more pageviews, reviews, favorites and so on. Over the time I will add more series and stories, and please don't be afraid to make suggestions. I'd love to hear what you think.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
Despite the slow begining Code Geass quickly secured itself a place in my heart and now belongs too my favorite manga & anime all time.

Of Monsters and Men by Nate Grey

♦ Summary: With both Euphemia and Nunnally held hostage at the Lake Kawaguchi Hotel, Zero comes up with a new strategy, one that may draw two princesses of Britannia to his cause. But the Imperial Family has a certain way of keeping its members in check...
♦ Review: One of the best Au Code Geass stories, I've read as to expected from the author. It shows a unique inside on the royal family and those connected too them. I am not gonna tell much this about story cause my silly review will never do it justice. So shoo and go read 'Of Monsters and Man'

Code Geass: A Different Code by Thanathos

♦ Summary: What would have happened if it hadn't been C.C. that was in the container? My first try at Code Geass, please tell me what you think. Will have a few changes in the story, or some things wouldn't make sense
♦ Review: Definitely a must read story, this author truly a genius and even V.V. haters will enjoy this piece of work. After he is not C.C. which changes a lot in the story. V.V. does not have C.C.'s powers all yet or actually he doesn't know how to use them yet. So the author comes with wonderful but realistic changes in the story.

Lelouch of the Revolution by Lilyflower1987

♦ Summary: What if Clovis had stumbled into finding Lelouch and Nunnally way before the Shinjuku incident ever happened? How would things be different?
♦ Review: I especially adore the start of this story, the fact that the author uses a believable but different explanation how Lelouch becomes a Britannian Prince once again. Rather then using the frequently used explanation of Lelouch never loosing his title or Lelouch being exiled but not loosing his title. Unlike most stories Lelouch and Nunally are found by Clovis (promoting )before the start of the story. Futhermore the story contains a humor often centered around the 'poor' Lelouch or Kallen, the action filled kightmare combat scenes and of course lots of Orange.

Code Geass R3: The Empresses Wish by FireIceWindEarth

♦ Summary: Alternate Ending to Code Geass: The girl stood up straight and spoke proudly, regaining her composure. “My name is Lilia Vi Britannia, 115th Emperor and 4th Empress of the New Britannia Empire.”
♦ Review: One of tmy favorite R3 stories, While it features several orginal characters, they are not Mary-sue's and often remind you of the orginal characters. Their is even a scientist who's favorite food is pudding. Futhermore is writting style very easy too read and while the story slows down once and awhile as misses the action of Ashford Academy and Milly's crazy shemes.

Code Geass: Lelouch of Brittania by Cal reflector

♦ Summary: History often hinges on a moment. What if young Lelouch avoided the fate of exile and remained with the royal family? All roles become reversed. The tale of Lelouch's quest for power and vengeance as the Black Prince of the Empire.
♦ Review: Definitely a must read story for anyone who likes CG, this story is incredible, everything that happend it this story could have happend if a ten year old Lelouch made a different choice during confrontation with his father. Highlight's are Lelouch's search of who killed his mother and crippled Nunally from the other side. Other parts like his relationship with older half siblings like Schneizel, Clovis but especially Cornelia who he seems the closest to of elder siblings.

The Note inside the Pink Crane by Warangel88

♦ Summary: He wrote his true feelings for her inside a pink crane he gave her. C.C./Lelouch
♦ Review: Okay this one is for Lelouch/C.C. shippers but it's such a sweet little thing. oneshot, it also has nice explanations for what happens to C.C.

Code Geass R2: Finale by Warangel88

♦ Summary: ONE SHOT: A story from the eyes of Cornelia, Karen, Kaguya, Xingke and C.C. revolving around Lelouch's final moments.
♦ Review: Lelouch's death from the point of view of his friends and family is prehaps one of the most memorable stories about his final moments I've read.
