Britannia has invaded Japan and turned it into Area 11, leaving two boys on different paths. One, filled with vengeful anger for his own country, takes up the mantle of being a terrorist, and attempts to improve his country through violence-the second attempts to reason with the country who stole his identity away. Their names? Shinichi Kudo and Lelouch Lamperouge. REWRITE.

Lelouch vi Britannia is dead, but his legacy lives on-elsewhere, in another place, a boy named Kudo Shinichi, the aptly named "Heisei Holmes" has bizarre deja vu and horrifying dreams that shake the young boy's psyche until his perception of reality changes forever. Shinichi is the reincarnation of Lelouch. Being rewritten

Two best friends on opposite sides. One, a Japanese boy pursuing justice on the side of the law. The other, a boy who seeks revenge by defiling the law. Their destinies will collide, and how will their friendship last? AU DEAD FIC, TRUTH IN THE DARKNESS IS THE REWRITTEN VERSION, READ THAT.

A house of smoke and mirrors only hurts when the distorted images they reflect are those of the past. But even they aren't nearly as painful as the truth of the future.
