Code Geass: The Fractured Black King

by DivineDemonDragon

Everyone, including he, thought he was a man using masks. Each 'mask', however, was it's own person. And when the fragments converge over those he cares about, will the rifts between them close - or become cemented? (Lelouch with mental trauma, rating changed due to language, no lemons, sorry) I do not own Code Geass.

AN: Konnichiwa. I'd first like to apologize for getting anyone's hopes up with my earlier quick-uploading. It's like when you sprint at the beginning of a race, you end up with no energy less than half-way through. So, while I'm working on the next chapter of Hybrid God here's a sneak peak of one of my other ideas, featuring a Lelouch who has a special case of Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Prologue

Lelouch vi Britannia

Lelouch Lamperouge

Zero

Most people assume that these names identify distinct masks of the man in question. Those of us, however, who knew him well enough, knew better.

These weren't just masks – they were Lelouch himself. The loss of his mother, the alleged abandonment by his family and the war for Japan and its aftermath didn't just scar him – it broke him. And it took almost a full decade for the pieces to come back together.

These different Lelouches each were created by and in turn changed Lelouch.

Zero: the Black Knight, the Man of Miracles, he who seeks justice.

Lelouch Lamperouge: the Student, the Brother, he who wishes for peace

Lelouch vi Britannia: the Vengefull Prince, the Abandoned Prince, he who longs for comfort – for love

Everyone has dealt with one of these three before – those who know them all, however, can be counted using one's hands. Nunally, Suzaku, Euphiemia, C.C. – we've all seen and spoken to each of these three.

You know, I, for one, might've gone my entire life without ever meeting "Lelouch vi Britannia".

But you know what?...

I have never regretted it. Never will, either.

AN(Edit): I found out my original wording of the 3rd to last line was a little misleading, so I changed that. I also removed Milly from my list of names because she didn't meet the criteria of knowing all of Lelouch (she never really interacted with Zero). As for who the narrator is - I've already named the other possibilities. Heads up, though, I intend to include at least the first half of Shinjiku in the next chapter (up till Kallen & co get recruited), so it might be awhile before it's out. Until next time!
