Mmm, I'm glad that there are at least a few good Code Geass fanfictions. I kinda like those stories where I don't understand what happened, and sometimes I dislike them greatly. :)
Thank you for writing this :)

This fic is frequently confusing and doesn't flow very well. You bring up plots, then seemingly drop them, and it's off-putting. Like, for example, when Lelouch had them take Suzaku's gun because he thought he would be suicidal. Well, nothing ever came of that and Suzaku seems perfectly fine.

This is the best Code Geass story I've ever read in my life. And I have read many, I promise.

I would have your children. If you wanted. I think. I'm not exactly sure how we'd make it work, but we would, and then I'd lock you in my cellar till you finished it.

Maybe. Unless that creeps you, then just forget all about it.

Uh. I got forced into Code Geass and then raped the internet for fiction, and holy shit this is amazing. I fell in love with it, and even more so with Schniezel. Schniiiiiezel. He's pretty fabulous. Clovis, too, really. Damn you for making me think of side-plots where Clovis gets a happy ending that isn't in the form of death.

Half the soundtrack is on my playlist forever, and the other half is in there pretty regularly.

I dunno. Just reminding you really that we love you to death, and even more when we get to be dragged into more angst.

Or it could just be us being angstwhores.

End stupidly long review with very little meaning of importance. :P

I love the universe you've created! I'm a sucker for angst, so I love reading all of the back story to Lelouch and Schneizel's relationship as well as the current irony in how Lelouch views his brother. I can't wait for the next installment--I have this story bookmarked in my fanfiction folder. :)

Oh no, I accidentally deleted my review with the purpose of editing it. Ack! sorry.

When I watched Code Geass for the first time (after reading Primary Gain), I was amazed and surprised how many of the themes, plot points, character traits, and quotes from Code Geass overlapped and fit together so seamlessly in Primary gain, even though the two worlds were completely separate from each other. I love how Lelouch was constantly saving Suzaku from being his own destruction in both your world and in the anime's, before reaching a low point himself and having Suzaku reciprocate the actions. The characters are spot on.

<3 <3 <3. I think I'll reread this next year.

(Sometimes, it felt the Primary Gain was the canon and the anime was the fanfiction.)

Every time I think I cannot love this fic any more than I already do - I reread it and my love keeps growing.

This is the first review i've ever written, but after reading such a wonderful work it cannot be stressed enough that you truly are in every sense of the word a writer. This is probably the most eloquent fanfic I have had the privilege of reading. My advice (although I'm sure the last thing you want is advice from a novice writer) is to keep the core story, fill it with original characters and try to have it published. This is better than some published fiction that I've read, and it has made me want to be a better writer as well.

I am utterly incoherent, I just spent six hours crouched over my laptop greedily reading this, I bawled my eyes out at least once a chapter, sometimes from the shock of the words and sometimes from sheer awe at what you've crafted with this story, I have pissed off at least one family member by hogging the computer, and I'm probably severely dehydrated because all I've been doing for the last six hours is reading and ignoring basic bodily functions. I also need a hella long nap but that isn't happening because there's too much going on in my mind after reading this for me to do more than lay down and stare at the celing and think for a while, and then get up again and reread this and review every chapter with fervent fiery passionate love.

Goddamnit. This story is too beautiful for me to do much more than spew as much love and affection and utter amazement at you in as short a time as I possibly can so I can get back to reading the Schneizel chapter already. Fuck it. That man is now one of my favorite characters and I always ignored him before because what, illegal chess moves much? kthnxbai. You've made me love Lelouch, too, which is amazing in and of itself, because I used to care about Lelouch only in the context of his relationship with Suzaku and now I'm so invested in this Prince Lelouch that it hurts.

Your writing is gut-punching. You know exactly when to tense and when to release that tension and you never let anyone take a real breather, not the characters and especially not the reader. You build up emotional tension to such an insane peak and then tear the mood apart with a line that makes me burst into teary, much-needed laughter. You're a genius. I always read everything I can get my hands on, I always have since I learned to read, and this is one of the most intense, memorable, gut-punching (I'm going to be using that word a lot because it's the only way I can describe all of this without RAMPANT KEYSMASHING hsfuakhfr3iu24kwyhdsj), heart-twisting stories I've ever found. I am damn glad I was bored and clicking around AFF when I did, because the world feels much better to me now.

...I'm not kidding, I have an insane grin on my face right now just knowing that there is something this fantastic that I can go back to when I need to remember that the world is a beautiful place full of amazing writers and amazing writing.

and I'm not even going to reread this review before I post it because I know I'll wince at how horrifically worded and flaily it all is, but before I collapse into a puddle of appreciative goo I wanted to tell you that I AM IN AWE, YOU AWESOME PERSON YOU. Keep writing. Hopefully keep writing this, because damn if I'm not going to implode from thinking about all the potential here. But the important part is that you just keep writing, because you are fucking brilliant.

Thank you for pouring so much of yourself into this story. It shows in every word.

Okay, the end.

Man, can't believe you updated. Keep it coming! Schneizel's obsessiveness over Lelouch is lovely to read.
