So was super stoked to see this update two days ago for the first time in years.

There's a lot of sub plots (largely built around the various people Lelouch interacts with or is trying to manipulate) going on at the moment that I'm enjoying to see wrapped up.

Really love good Geass fics, of which there aren't many in this fandom.

 

Alright. Finally got around to rereading the whole thing, it'd been far too long and I didn't remember much beyond the basic premise.

I liked the update, and I still like the fic overall, but I definitely feel that Lelouch ascends too quickly to his current position and finds his very skilled and very loyal Royal Guard too easily.

That said, it's still a definite 4/5 from me (only slightly in part due to the absolute dearth of good fics in the fandom). I'm actually probably enjoying the Abigail subplot the most. Her slow crawl into Lelouch's good graces is among the best paced plotlines, and I can't wait to see the team they'll end up making when she's fully in his confidences.
