tItiLe : breakDOWN
cOmpLEteD : October 30, 2008
fAnDoM : Code Geass
pAiRiNg(S) : One-sided Lelouch Lamperouge x Kururugi Suzaku (LelouchSuzaku, Lulusuza); Kururugi Suzaku x Euphemia Li Britannia (SuzakuEuphemia, SuzaEuphie)
rAtInG : PG-13
wArnInGS : Implied slash, boy/boy, boy's love, BL, shounen-ai, yaoi, whatever you call it; suggestive themes; cussing; SPOILERS UP TO EPISODE 24.
sUmMaRy : Lelouch reminiscences on Suzaku's opinion of Zero after taking the life of the one he held most dear; drabble.
cOmMenTs : I started this around 11 p.m. and finished it just in time to call it done in less than a day. Inspiration hit and I went with it. It takes place after Lelouch murders Euphemia but just before the final attack on the Tokyo Settlement, so it's around the time period between episode 23 and 24. I finally have the gall to do something like this since I finished the series (R2 better have some good explanations or I'm gonna be pissed).
This is also a 'thank you' to all the people who read and/or reviewed my first submission, the 'White Knight' 1sentence challenge. It gave me a lot of ideas and confidence to write more and I guess that's what fanfiction is all about. I love you all!!! I promise more Suzalulu in the future ('cause it's just too cute), along with another one-shot I've been working on: Death Note with MattMello. Reviews are greatly appreciated. Enjoy!!
"So break me down if it makes you feel right
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
You can't break me down if it takes all your might
'cause I'm so much more than meets the eye"
~'Breakdown' by Seether
"Zero is wrong, Zero is unjust…"
…That's what he keeps constantly saying…
"…Zero is flawed, Zero isn't righteous…"
…No matter how many times I try to protest, try to reason with him, spouting out facts and statistics…
"…Zero is deceptive; the hope he gives is only false hope; all he ever tells is lies…"
…He always has to have everything the 'lawful' way; he still knows nothing about how this filthy government operates despite his firsthand experience of the tyranny seven years ago…
"…He's lying to the whole damn world, lying to the Japanese, to me…to Euphie…"
…To create change in the future, one must first discard everything in the past, make certain sacrifices…
"…He killed…Euphie…"
…He never learned how to let go, like I had to…
"…Euphie…why?"
…When the Japanese people can finally live without fear once again, he will comprehend my purpose, my tenacity, my resolve…
"…She didn't deserve this, to end up used so callously by some mystic power just so he could gain the favor of his fucking supporters…"
…I'll show him how much good Zero can do to this country, to this world, as he reclaims the power to the citizens, as he causes the Holy Britannian Empire to crumble…
"…I will never forgive him…I will never let him get away with this…"
…One day…
"…One day…"
…I'll make him understand…
"…I'll make him pay…"
