Hey 🤗

Before making the request, I wanted to tell you I really like how and what you write ❤️

I saw the scenario of the first kiss you did for Naruto characters, could you also do it for Lelouch, Suzaku, male Kallen and male Cornelia (I'm obsessed with them in the male version; if you don't mess with characters' genderbends, you can not do them), please?

Thank you very much 😘

Code Geass ~First kiss~

Manga/anime: Code Geass

Warnings: nothing

(Y/N): your name

Kal: male Kallen

Cornelius: male Cornelia

Thank you very much for the compliment! Yes, I can make stories with male versions of female characters, but I'd rather not do the opposite.

"Z-Zero?" A meek voice rings out in the temporary headquarters of the Black Knights.

Lelouch blinks from behind his mask and looks away from some documents to look at the voice that had called him. (Y/N) was there, playing with her hair and with her pink-tinged cheeks, avoiding eye contact with her leader. The boy lets out a small sigh behind his mask, annoyed at being disturbed.

"What happens?" (Y/N) flinches at his words and shifts uncomfortably, the pink turning red on her cheeks.

"W-well, Tamaki told me you wanted to talk to me about the plan..." Lelouch's purple eyes narrow: he had never told Tamaki to call her. Damn Tamaki, he did it to embarrass me, the boy thinks.

The leader is both frustrated by the interruption of his work and annoyed by Tamaki's prank, but he suppresses the urge to get angry to avoid scaring the already intimidated girl in front of him. Actually, not because he doesn't want to scare the girl, but because he doesn't want to scare (Y/N): ever since Lelouch met (Y/N) at school a few months before obtaining the Geass, he's always felt a very strong attraction towards her; then, that attraction turned into love.

Furthermore, when she showed up in front of Zero, saying she wanted to join the Black Knights, his first instinct was to forbid her from participating in the missions due to the fear she would get hurt. However, the boy was then dissuaded from carrying out that behavior by C.C. to avoid anyone noticing his preference for the girl.

So, Lelouch quickly thinks about how to extricate himself from the complicated situation he's in: "(Y/N), I-"

He can't even finish the sentence he was about to say, because a loud sound screeches in their ears, echoing in the room occupied by Zero and (Y/N). The girl is stunned and closes her eyes, preparing for the worst, when they feel the ground shake and pieces of the ceiling begin to collapse. When she doesn't feel any pain, she opens her eyes.

"Z-Zero? A-are you okay? A-are you hurt?" One of Lelouch's arms is against the wall next to (Y/N); the other arm holds her close, caging her body with his and acting as a shield.

"I'm fine." The boy pulls away from the girl, loosening his grip.

After standing a little distance from her, Zero calmly presses a button on the side of his mask with one hand, shocking and astounding (Y/N) when she hears the whirring of gears, causing the back of the mask to retract.

"Z-Zero, what are you-"

"Answer me, (Y/N) -he interrupts her- are a few months enough to fall in love?"

"I-I think anything is possible in love. Why did you ask me this?"

(Y/N) swallows, watching the boy adjust his mask so his mouth is visible.

"Because I'm madly in love with you." The girl doesn't even have time to realize what he said, before Lelouch grabs her face and brings it close to his, and presses his lips to hers.

"Suzaku, I'm scared" (Y/N) whispers.

While she and her brother Schneizel were in a meeting, an attack by the Black Knights was reported, so Suzaku, (Y/N)'s Knight, grabbed her hand and started running to carry her to safety.

After they moved away from the attacked area, the princess felt the pressure collapse on her; she burst into tears, both because of the fear for her life and because of the concern everyone had managed to escape to safety.

The girl feels strong arms around her and then herself being carried against a warm body. Her eyes open: she sees her Knight embracing her.

"I'll protect you, princess." Suzaku says softly in (Y/N)'s ear, holding her tighter to him.

"S-Suzaku..." The princess murmurs in surprise, looking at him shyly and sweetly, heat flooding her cheeks.

Suddenly, loud battle noises ring out and the sounds of explosions, which cause the ground to shake, almost causing the princess to fall, are heard. Suzaku's eyes widen a little, and he immediately turns, almost as if to go back.

"Where are you going?" She cries.

"I must go back to fight with 'Lancelot'. Please, princess, stay here, so you'll be far enough from the combat zone."

"But Suzaku, you have to follow me -she whispers- I'm scared."

"Princess -the boy approaches the girl, with his eyes full of pain- I have to fight again to protect you." (Y/N) knows Suzaku must respect his duties as a Knight.

"But... You can't protect me if you're there." The girl says, trying to convince the boy to stay with her, since she doesn't want him to go because she fears he might die.

"I have to go -Suzaku replies with regret- those from the R&D Division have already called me before: they need 'Lancelot'."

"Wait!" (Y/N) screams as her Knight turns and takes a few steps towards the headquarters Zero attacked, running to hug him from behind and starting to sob.

"Please, please, don't go! I already lost Euphy, don't leave me too!" The princess can't breathe because of the tears and sobs, and she's crying so much she can hardly stand up straight: she's in the middle of hysterics.

So, Suzaku immediately hugs (Y/N), first hesitantly, fearing her panic attack might get worse, then more tightly, after seeing she showed no sign of resistance and, indeed, she seemed to calm down the closer he was to her.

"I'll never leave: I'll always stay next to you and protect you."

Minutes pass, and (Y/N) slowly calms down, cradled in her Knight's arms and soothed by his sweet, relaxing words.

"Hold out your hand." Suzaku says, placing a watch on his princess' outstretched hand, and he continues: "This watch is very important to me: it's the last gift my father gave me. Keep it safe for me -he gently closes her hand- and, when we meet again, you can return it to me. I swear I'll come back to you."

After saying that, the boy starts to turn around, but the girl calls his name, so he turns back again to look at her.

"Princess?"

"I love you, Suzaku! Please, come back." After saying those words, which shocked him, (Y/N) looks at her Knight softly, and she gently presses her lips to his.

Britannian Military Prison in Japan, evening.

After another day of torture, (Y/N) is in her cell, hurt, sore and crying in pain.

Unfortunately, the Britannian Military had discovered the girl was one of the Black Knights' girlfriend, so it had captured her and has continued to torture her to have information about them. However, it was wrong: (Y/N) didn't even know her boyfriend Kal was one of the Black Knights.

While the girl was reflecting on her boyfriend, a very loud noise is heard and the ground begins to shake, and her cell's door is thrown open. That scares her a lot, so she tries to hide herself in the most remote corner of her cell. Nevertheless, it isn't a soldier who enters, but a tall man, dressed in black and with a mask on his face: he's one of the Black Knights.

"(Y/N)!" The girl recognizes the man by his voice.

"Ohgi? It's you?"

(Y/N) already knows Ohgi: he had come to Kal's house several times while they were together; her boyfriend said he was a friend of his brother and, after his death, he continued to come to visit him. The girl never would have thought that kind man was one of the Black Knights.

"Yes, it's me. (Y/N), are you ok? Kal was so anxious about you... Come, he's waiting for you outside." Ohgi holds out his hand towards her, but (Y/N) pulls away.

"I don't want!"

"Why?"

"I don't want to see Kal: he lied to me the whole time! I don't want to go back to him! Please come back. I don't want you to get hurt because of me."

The man looks at the girl for a few seconds, torn between whether to leave or try to convince her to follow him. However, before Ohgi can make a decision, sounds of footsteps are heard, and then a head pops out of the door: Kal.

"(Y/N)!" Kal rushes to embrace (Y/N), wrapping his arms around her waist and burying his face in the crook of her neck. Nevertheless, she doesn't feel good in his embrace like all the other times: his lie has hurt her too deeply. In fact, she violently and quickly breaks away from the embrace.

"Stay away from me!" The poor girl screams, quickly pulling away and falling to the ground from the force she broke away with.

"Darling?" The boy tries to move closer to his girlfriend, but she pulls away again, trembling and almost crying from the pressure and worry.

"What happens? Are you ok? What have they done?"

"The soldiers hurt me, but you hurt me more: why did you lie to me? You were taking advantage of me, weren't you? I'm a Britannian, were you pretending to love me just to get information about the Britannians?"

"No!" Kal exclaims.

"I swear to you: I've never taken advantage of you. When I fell in love with you, I wasn't one of the Black Knights yet; after I became one, I didn't want to tell you anything because I didn't want to worry you or put you in danger." He continues more calmly, gently helping the girl to get up.

"You don't necessarily have to continue to be my girlfriend, but at least let me continue to protect you, please. I don't want anything to happen to you again." After saying that, Kal hugs (Y/N) again, taking care not to hurt her, and he brings his face closer to hers, until they touch their foreheads.

"Will you let me protect you?" After she gives her nod, the Black Knight captures his girlfriend's lips with his in a tender kiss, while continuing to hold her tightly, as if protecting her from all harm.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be."

"Sorry." (Y/N) repeats, as she finishes treating Cornelius' many wounds.

"I already told you not to be." The prince replies.

They both remain silent for a few minutes. (Y/N) is embarrassed to be so close to the person she loves, Cornelius is trying to repress the groans of pain caused by his wounds.

"Are you angry?" The woman breaks the silence, worried her superior was angry with her. In fact, (Y/N) was a new Knightmare Frames pilot, but, during her first mission, an attack against the Japan Liberation Front, a disaster happened: the group led by Prince Cornelius, in which she had been placed, was the victim of a surprise assault, and (Y/N) would have died if it weren't for her commander, who threw himself into the path of a spear to save her, but injuring himself.

"Not with you." The prince answers.

"Why not with me?"

"Why should I be angry with you?"

"I was careless. I almost got myself killed. Because of me you got hurt!" The soldier screams with a broken voice, surprising Cornelius with her outburst.

The man, recovered from the shock of the woman's outburst, smiles almost sweetly, and he gently caresses her head.

"Don't worry. I don't care you cause me trouble or I hurt myself to save your life."

(Y/N) wonders if what Cornelius told her was some kind of confession, while blushing profusely. Nevertheless, despite wanting to ask him the meaning of those words, she can't say anything other than an apology.

"Stop apologizing or I'll get angry."

"Excu-" (Y/N) stops before finishing the sentence.

"I can't help saying that!" Due to her phrase, the prince bursts out laughing, making the soldier blush again.

"I've done it!" The woman exclaimes happily and, after seeing the man's confused look, she continues, but with a bit of shyness: "Since you're always so serious and, forgive me if I say it, even a little sad, I set myself the goal of making you laugh at least once."

After a few seconds of silence, Cornelius murmurs: "You're wonderful, (Y/N), you know?"

"Really? Are you serious?"

Without even realizing it, the soldier steps closer to her superior, taking his right hand in hers.

"I really mean it." The prince whispers, tucking a strand of her hair, which had escaped from her bun, behind her ears with the hand that wasn't held by hers.

"I think this is why I fell in love with you." Without giving (Y/N) time to realize his words, Cornelius bows his head and presses his lips softly and delicately to hers.

🏫School Mates (SuzaLulu x Reader)PT 1🏫

A/N: Testing the waters with posting the few fanfic content I have out so far for one of my nine fave anime ever. This reworked piece I've had for a long while is coming out. This AU is where you're a late new student at Ashford Academy. Yeah, it's sort of a love triangle. Hopefully, I can make this short story make sense in some way. All credit for Code Geass characters and pics goes to Sunrise.

DON'T COPY OR STEAL MY FANWORK, RATHER LIKE AND REBLOG. I hope you enjoy.

"Y/n … Y/n … Y/N!"

You get awoken from your dream by the calling of your name. Your head resting on your folded arms snaps up in attention to who spoke out only to spot violet eyes trained on you, exasperatedly looking at you.

"Being the new student and sleeping during class isn't a good way to make a good impression. Be grateful you sit behind me, otherwise you'd have your neck strung out by the teacher."

You then noticed students parting as class was over "Mmm … sorry … Lelouch." You mumble sleepily as your rub your tired eyes.

Said man, Lelouch, glared a bit more before his eyes softened, sighing before running a hand through his hair. "Honestly, where would you be without me?"

"I'd be dead." You dully uttered. You get hit lightly on the head by a rolled up paper, making you pout at him. "Hey!"

"No time for jokes. Come on, the others are waiting." Lelouch put the paper in his bag before taking your hand and pulling you to your feet, dragging you behind him.

"Lelouch, I can walk to the student council room just fine without you dragging me like a rag doll." You pitifully moaned as you felt sparks run through your hand as his held yours tighter taking the lead.

"You've been attending here for weeks now and you still get lost in these halls." Lelouch reminded you in matter of fact tone. His tone made you stick your tongue out with his back facing you. "And I'd quit sticking my tongue out if I were you or else you'll attract flies."

"Come on, Lelouch. Cut her some slack. She's still a late transfer, after all." An amused voice lightly chided as your free hand was held by a callous, warm hand that easily pulled you free from Lelouch's grip. "I got your back, Y/n." You turned around to see Suzaku in time as he gently bumped your shoulder with his fist, smiling carefree.

"My knight in shining armor," you softly cheered as you hugged Suzaku's arm, giving a closed eye smile as both guys blushed as they thought it was one of the cutest smiles they've ever seen. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Suzaku laughed a bit, smiling toothily back at you.

"If you two are going to flirt in my face, I'm not sticking around to watch." Lelouch rolled his eyes, he almost sounded like he was jealous; especially when deep down he didn't like you hugging Suzaku's arm in his presence. And he didn't know he would feel that sort of emotion over such a silly thing. But he couldn't keep a small smile from growing on his face as he shook his head to clear those ridiculous thoughts. "Come on, you two."

When you did arrive …

"Okay everyone, time for GUTS~!" Milly was loud and flamboyant as always.

"Aw come on, Prez! Another guts spell right from the start?" Rivalz complained, even though underneath he was secretly swooning for her hard.

"Um … hello …" Nina was typing at her computer, being meek as usual.

"Nice of you three to finally show up." Kallen said nonchalantly.

"Hi, Lulu~! Ready for another day of good old student council work~!?" Shirley ran over to greet Lelouch, teeming with a giddy, enthusiastic personality.

"Ready as always. You all should know that by now." Lelouch smiled charmingly, making Shirley almost swoon as the meeting commenced.

As the daily meeting began and went on for an hour and a half, you couldn't help but have your eyes travel around the room, landing on each single person. Every person here welcomed you into their school lives and their personal lives in some way.

Milly was as flirtatious as she was dramatic in her own lovable way.

Rivalz crushing on the pres hard while also being a goofball.

Nina, well, she was a shy introvert but a genius beneath … even though there were times you felt suspicious towards her.

Shirley, such an upbeat, enthusiastic girl with a good heart even though she's obviously falling hard for Lelouch and making it so obvious to everyone.

And Kallen, looks calm and mysterious on the surface but you had a feeling there was more to her and you had no idea why but you kinda like her for it. They slowly but surely became the first ever friends you ever made.

Soon, the meeting ended and you walked between Lelouch and Suzaku to the clubhouse which is also Lelouch's home on campus that he shared with his maid Sayako; you get the impression there was more to her like with Kallen as someone not to underestimate, and his little sister Nunnally … she was like the little precious sister you never thought you wanted; spending quality time with her especially when Lelouch was away doing his own thing.

Speaking of, Lelouch and Suzaku even … they were like two sides of the same coin. Two peas in a pod. So similar yet so different in their own respective ways. Lelouch is the brains, Suzaku is the brawn, but put them together … there's nothing they can't accomplish. You couldn't have one without the other and you wouldn't have it any other way.

In fact, it was Lelouch himself that allowed you to live with him and his sister in the clubhouse and asked Milly to convince her grandfather to allow it since the dorms on campus were already full. You may not remember much of your life before coming here, but a lot of meaning was brought back into your life, gaining new memories and a new life instead.

'So, why do I still have this nagging feeling in the back of my mind … this added pressure deep within my heart for how I feel towards these two guys … seems familiar. Whether it's good or bad … I don't know.'

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

"I like pancakes with marshmallows on top~! Heeheehee~! Yippee~! Whee~!" You blurted out randomly, causing Nunnally to laugh gleefully as she clapped, making you laugh too. You had just finished dinner with Nunnally and the guys; Suzaku was invited to eat over since he's their occasional guest as well as their childhood friend, and you were currently playing with Nunnally's hair. From the moment you met her, your heart instantly melted at the pure innocence that is Nunnally Lamperouge that compelled you to protect the precious girl with all your might!

"Oh, I'd love to try that sometime! Can we?" Nunnally had hope laced in her voice.

"Your wish is my command, my lady." Lelouch smiled charmingly, bowing before his little sister, making her giggle.

"I second that request, please." You raised your hand, smiling bashfully.

"At your service, my lady." Suzaku appeared by your side, also bowing to you, making your cheeks heat up and feel all fluttery inside. His eye closed smile radiated sunshine that is this wholesome boi.

As Lelouch gathered the empty plates to take to the kitchen to clean them up, you noticed him stopping to side glance at you, nodding his head for you to follow, before walking through the doorway. "I um … I'll be back in a bit, Nunna."

"Okay. Suzaku, do you want to make paper cranes with me? Miss Sayako and I were working on some earlier."

"That sounds fun. I'd love to." Seeing him gaze affectionately at her like another older brother to her made your heart skip a beat before you walked to the kitchen.

You spotted Lelouch's back to you as he washed the dishes. You slowly approached him, feeling nervous as you wondered what he wanted. You rubbed your arm as you do when you're anxious. The sound of his voice made you halt in your tracks.

"You and Nunnally have gotten closer over time. It feels like just yesterday when I met you; a meek new girl to our class. And yet, as days passed by, that very same girl became a part of our daily lives. As a school mate, then a student council member, and now a friend. For what was once hollow is now becoming whole again. At least, that's my basic sum of it."

You felt your stomach tie itself in knots as you timidly approached him, "And now?"

You watched as the reflection of his calm face in the window above the sink looked back at you; his violet eyes twinkling with speculation, before looking over his shoulder, now looking amused. "You look like a scared little thing with that look on your face. Relax. I'm not gonna bite."

"A – Are you sure about that?" You gulped audibly.

"I'm serious. I'm grateful to you for being here for Nunnally in my stead. Don't get me wrong. I'm grateful to Sayako and the student council being around to spend time with her when I'm busy with stuff … and I don't say this as much as I should … but … thank you." The smile he gave to you felt genuine and it made your heart flutter.

"It – it's fine. Nunnally … she's an absolute angel. And I'm grateful to her and you and everyone for accepting me into the student council and your friend group – !"

You stop speaking mid sentence. You froze, stunned in shock at the feel of lips pressed against your cheek. It took you a minute before you blinked your eyes back into focus from the daze you were in. "Consider this my gift to you."

You slowly raised your hand to touch your cheek; the tingling feeling where his lips touched your skin made something within you click into place. Your eyes traveled to meet his; you swore you just saw them glow magenta for a moment there. But his eyes were fine. Very fine in your opinion as you became lost in their beautiful violet sea; almost like delving deep into his soul and searching for something beyond your understanding.

You felt an unfathomable pull to him, making you lean closer as you noticed he did the same when the realization that Lelouch kissed your left cheek made you snap out of it; face aflame as you covered your mouth to muffle your squeak of surprise, snapping Lelouch of his apparent trance as well as he blinked several times to get back into focus.

"Mmm … I swear, everything I say and do gets you so easily flustered, doesn't it?" He laughed softly, even though his cheeks were flushed red too.

"N – No!" That just made him snicker in his hand. "I – I should head back now."

"But seriously, Y/n." You looked back to see his smile still there, tender and true. "Thanks."

"Anytime."

You returned to the living room and felt a smile break out at the sight of Nunnally and Suzaku smiling, laughing, making paper cranes together when Suzaku noticed you and waved you over to help out. But you were still reeling from what transpired in the other room.

'Lelouch kissed me. Of all people, me! It was on the cheek, but still! I don't know that much about his personal life; aside from his gambling trips with Rivalz. Did he kiss anyone before, cheek or otherwise? Before me?' You couldn't get that image of Lelouch's bemused expression out of your mind. You also couldn't ignore the fact that you felt Suzaku's eyes on you, a suspicious glaze to them.

Sooner than you expected, it was time for Suzaku to leave. You were lost in thought as you watched Suzaku bent down to hug Nunnally before nodding at Lelouch only to have your name being called on, pulling you out of it to say good bye. But as he smiled and waved, walking out the door, you watched his retreating form while Lelouch pushed Nunnally's wheelchair to her bedroom to get her ready for bed. That's when you felt the same magnetic pull with Lelouch reappear, making you follow the soldier outside.

"Suzaku, wait!"

He stopped in mid walk and turned back around, curiosity and concern flashed on his face as he cocked his head to the side, making him appear that much cuter. "Y/n? What is it? Is something wrong?"

"No … the exact opposite, in fact. I feel …" Why are you feeling this way, twice in a row? "I just want to say thank you. Not just for tonight, but for every day since we became friends. It means a lot to me." You rubbed your arm, shyly smiling. "You … mean a lot to me."

His smile lite a fire in your heart. "You mean a lot to me too. You, Lelouch, Nunnally, the student council … you've all become so important to me." He walked towards you until you were standing face to face. "You above all else."

You gaped at seeing his face start to flush red and his green eyes became glossy and … tempted. "I … I am?"

He looked a bit stunned before his face broke out into a smile. "Aw, come on. You honestly can't see why?"

What happened next took you by surprise, almost as much as Lelouch's did.

The feeling of Suzaku's lips pressed against your other cheek; once normal but now burning with heat from those soft velvety lips of his. He pulled back to give a bashful smile, scratching his cheek, "Is that enough proof for you?"

You gingerly touched your cheek, feeling the warmth beneath your fingertips, as butterflies fluttered in your stomach and your heart was racing quickly. But that's when you noticed his green eyes glow; those mesmerizing emerald gems now stuck upon your awaiting face. His eyes softened as did his smile.

Your cheeks burned as you smiled shyly at him. "I … think so."

Suzaku laughed softly before holding your hands. "Y/n, you do mean that much to me. This past month spent in school with you, sharing classes and having study sessions, even just spending time with you like that has been … wonderful." You smiled the more he talked, leaning closer as did he when you noticed his eyes looking over you to far behind you; suspicion laced in them. "It's getting late. I should head back to my place. Have a good night … " Suzaku pulled your hands up to litter gentle kisses on top of them, making you smile bashfully, " … Y/n."

You took him by surprise as you leaned up to kiss his cheek "Good night, Suzaku."

You waved good-bye as his goofy smiling face looked back at you over his shoulder as he waved back too while hurrying off, almost falling over his feet from not watching where he was going, causing you to laugh out loud at his stumble.

But unbeknownst to you but not to the brunette was that Lelouch was watching outside his bedroom window.

He watched his best friend kiss your cheek as he did earlier.

He watched as Suzaku ran off, leaving you smiling and blushing as you felt yourself floating off your feet as you walked back inside.

He did not look happy. Not one bit.

Hi! I’m very glad you amused and thought over Eren in your AOP fanfic drafts of pulling a Code Geass’ Lelouch (one of my fav animes out there and there is a great fanfic crossover out there between CG and TF). As a curious question, if you decided to create an AU around this idea; what would it be called and would you expand on this idea’s timeline????

The Rough Draft Timeline. It was the original plan before the backlash of chapter 139.

When writing that original draft in 2019, I never even had Eren kill anyone with the Rumbling. I had Optimus kill Eren just as the Rumbling reached the shores of the mainland. And there was no monstrous Founding Titan form. The Paths weren't involved at all during the initial drafts. Megatron had some idea of what Eren was going to do. Magath was the one that was originally supposed to survive. Not Willy. Eren left Optimus a video and Optimus was going to carry Eren's secret with him. Although he did end up telling the veterans during a conversation:

Note: Hanji was going by she/her pronouns in this draft.

Magath walked down the halls of the untouched castle when he heard laughter. He saw a slightly open door and walked towards it before opening it. He stiffened when he saw Optimus Prime talking with the Commander of the Survey Corps, Erwin Smith, and the Ackerman. They all stopped talking and turned his attention to him before taking a step back.

“Sorry,” Magath apologized, “I’ll let myself out.”

“There is an extra beverage, if you would like some,” Optimus offered as he showed the untouched cup.

“I…would still feel unwelcome,” Magath admitted.

“C’mon!” Hanji smiled, “It’s liquor from planet Earth! You’re not going to get a chance like this again!”

Magath turned his attention to Erwin, who merely shrugged in response. The man calmed his nerves before walking over and sitting across from Optimus and Hanji. Optimus took the cup and placed it in front of Magath.

“What exactly is this?” Magath asked before putting the cup to his lips.

“It’s called ‘Vodka’,” Erwin explained, “But I’d suggest not taking too much because it’s-,”

Magath quickly spit the drink back in the cup and began coughing.

“-really strong,” Erwin finished.

“Why get this?” Magath asked in a strained voice.

“Because Levi is finally drunk,” Hanji smiled as she gestured to the Ackerman with his legs crossed on the table and leaning back in his chair.

“I see four cups,” Levi explained, “Her dumbass is saying there’s only one when I’m saying there’s two.”

“There is not two,” Hanji declared.

“I’ll fight you on it,” Levi hissed.

“But how come you can’t drink it?” Magath asked Optimus, “I’ve seen Megatron drink water before.”

“Holoforms are not designed for human intakes,” Optimus explained, “Megatron most likely lied in order to create the illusion he was human.”

Magath thought it over as he remembered the titan having a water flask on him and never drink from a clear cup. “That would make sense.”

“Buckethead always knew when to lie,” Hanji proclaimed before laughing, “Oh my god, Erwin! I can’t believe you were working with him!”

“I’m still pissed off at you for that,” Levi proclaimed.

“Not my brightest idea,” Erwin admitted.

“That titan slaughtered almost everyone from an entire base save for one,” Magath declared.

Hanji laughed. “Erwin, you could have died!”

“Can you stop?” Erwin asked.

“Never,” Hanji whispered before giggling, “You’re such a dumbass. A smart dumbass.”

Magath noticed Optimus giving a small smile at the conversation, but it seemed rather…sad. He didn’t know if he should say anything and decided to keep his mouth shut.

“You got something on your mind?” Levi asked Magath, causing him to snap out of his thought.

“I…,” Magath trailed off before looking down at his cup, “I’m worried about what might happen at the treaty agreement.”

Hanji groaned. “If you were going to be such a downer about, I wouldn’t have let you stayed. This is supposed to be relaxation.”

“And Optimus is the only sober,” Levi added.

“Well, it’s not my fault holoforms are designed that way,” Hanji mumbled under her breath.

“I understand your concern, but in the event something does go wrong, I do have full intentions of staying until everything is corrected,” Optimus declared.

“What about going back home?” Erwin asked, “Back to Cybertron,”

“It would be unwise to leave until my family is safe,” Optimus answered.

Hanji squealed before hugging the Prime. “You love us!”

“Fucking sap,” Levi grumbled, but Magath could see the smallest smile at the corner of his lip.

“Even after I’ve pestered you so much you still love us,” Hanji whimpered with tears in her eye.

“Hanji, it is all right,” Optimus reassured.

“At least you care,” Hanji smiled as she let go of Optimus before groaning, “Unlike buckethead,”

“I would assume Megatron treated you poorly,” Magath said.

“He hates humans to a tee,” Hanji declared, “If he couldn’t kill us, then he would insult and mock us.”

“He hasn’t called us by our actual names for nearly four years,” Erwin explained, “He called me ‘Commander’ before I left the Survey Corps. After that, he just called me human.”

“You got it easy,” Hanji pointed at him, “That jackass called me ‘mad scientist’ and only just called me by my actual name last week. Although, I’m pretty sure he’s been calling me ‘scientist’ recently. A step up, but not by that much.”

“What about you?” Magath asked Levi.

“Dwarf,” Levi answered, “Like rubbing salt in my wounds. I did call him necrophilia whore, so,”

“Why?!” Magath exclaimed.

“I was mad at him,” Levi admitted, “Son of a bitch had his head in his ass.”

“He had nicknames for everyone,” Hanji sighed, “Sasha was ‘archer’, Armin was ‘Alert’, Mikasa was her last name. According to buckethead, she was the only human he ever respected, and that’s saying a lot.”

“Didn’t he call Armin ‘Pax’?” Levi asked her.

“Hell if I know,” Hanji shrugged before thinking, “Oh! I remember Megatron called Eren-!”

Hanji quickly covered her mouth while Levi immediately took his feet off the table. Erwin looked rather tense while Magath felt uncomfortable.

“O-optimus,” Hanji stuttered, “I-,”

“’Prime’s pet’,” Optimus said, “It was most likely a way to anger me at the time.”

“Um…let’s talk about something else,” Hanji laughed nervously.

“No,” Levi declared, “We need to talk about this.”

“That’s not the point of tonight,” Hanji hissed at him.

“Prime, how have you been feeling?” Levi asked, “Because last time I saw you back on Cybertron, you’ve been an emotional wreck.”

“Levi!” Hanji growled.

“…tired,” Optimus admitted quietly, “I’ve…I’ve been tired.”

“But you got to see your home,” Hanji said, trying to lighten the mood, “A lot probably changed, right?”

“I was mostly confined to the medical berth,” Optimus explained, “I did see Starscream and Predaking again. While Predaking has no interest in conquest and only wishes to help his people flourish, Starscream has full intention of hunting down Megatron and killing him before destroying Earth.”

“Well that’s fucking morbid,” Levi hissed.

“At least it gives me something to plan,” Erwin admitted, “Once I’m sober, I’ll ask buckethead about Starshow.”

“Starscream,” Optimus corrected.

“Sure, whatever,” Erwin said.

“But about you,” Levi began, “And how you’ve been feeling. Be honest or I’m calling the rebound..raven…Ratchet.”

Optimus sighed in response. “I’m tired, and I am…stilling grieving.”

“Over Eren?” Magath questioned, earning a kick at his leg from Hanji.

“Optimus, I know how much he meant to you, but he’s been gone a long time,” Erwin proclaimed, “The Eren you knew wasn’t the same one who activated the titans within the wall.”

“I still felt like I didn’t do enough,” Optimus admitted, “I didn’t do enough to stop him.”

“Optimus, Armin and Mikasa said it wasn’t your fault,” Hanji reasoned.

“I still feel like it was,” Optimus proclaimed, “I could have prevented it if I had known, but…there was nothing I could do.”

Erwin looked away in guilt while Hanji stared at the Prime in sorrow. Meanwhile, Levi looked like he was ready to murder him.

“Bullshit,” Levi proclaimed.

Magath turned his attention to Levi in confusion.

“Levi,” Hanji hissed.

“No,” Levi said to Hanji before turning back to Optimus, “You’re lying. Right now. I know this for a fact.”

Magath turned back to Optimus in surprise. Levi could tell he was lying?

“Levi-,”

“Tell us right now,” Levi cut Optimus off, “What do you mean by ‘I could have prevented it, if I had known’? What did you mean when you told Armin and Mikasa ‘If I had known what Eren intended on doing, I would have done everything in my power to stop him.’?”

“Levi, stop,” Erwin pleaded.

“No,” Levi declared before looking back at Optimus, “Tell us, now.”

Magath saw the despondent look on Optimus’ face before the titan turned to him. Magath grew stiff as Optimus looked at him with warning and anger.

“Nothing is to leave this room,” Optimus ordered.

Magath nodded his head. “Okay,…nothing leaves.”

Magath noticed the Prime still debating on whether or not he should reveal this truth, but he relented as he pulled out a device and pressed a button that played the audio.

“The only way for everyone to survive, and for there to be peace between Eldia and Marley, is that I turn on everyone else, and that you kill me,” Eren spoke.

The veterans listened in horror while Magath stared at the Prime in shock.

“I tried to see other outcomes where it didn’t have to end like this,” Eren continued, “But every outcome I saw, everyone ended up dying or suffering in some way. Including you. I couldn’t let that happen to you or anyone else. I knew you wouldn’t allow this world to suffer like yours did, so I had to become the villain, so that you could become the hero.”

Magath couldn’t hear the next part as Levi screamed, grabbing his cup and throwing it at the wall, shattering it to pieces.

“Damn him!” Levi shouted, “Damn that fucking brat!”

“Levi!” Erwin exclaimed, “Keep it down!”

“No!” Levi shouted as he began trembling, “Not after all the shit we’ve been through! That fucker!”

Magath drowned out their argument as he continued listening in on the audio, unaware that Optimus was hanging his head.

“Thank you for being my ally. Thank you for being my friend. Sometimes you were even like a-,”

Optimus immediately pressed the button to shut the audio off, gaining everyone’s attention. Hanji had tears forming in her eye before hugging Optimus to comfort him.

“I’m so sorry,” Hanji apologized, “I’m sorry I didn’t do my job. I’m sorry it had to be you.”

Optimus didn’t respond as he wrapped an arm around her waist. “It is not your fault.”

“Why the hell did that bastard put us through all that shit?” Levi demanded, “What the hell was he trying to prove?!”

“He was trying to unite the world,” Magath responded, earning all eyes on him, “The world wanted the titans gone, so Eren must’ve believed there needed to be a figure to get behind. For the rise of Marley, it was the creation of Helos, and how he slain the devil of all the Earth. A few months ago, it was Willy, uniting the world under a revealed truth and common goal of living. Now, it’s you Optimus. You saved the Eldians from the Curse of Ymir, and you saved the world from the reign of the titans forever. You’re a beacon of hope and peace.”

“…I did not want it to be this way,” Optimus whispered.

“Eren didn’t give you much of a choice, though, did he?” Magath assumed.

“That doesn’t mean shit!” Levi shouted, “Eren threw us under the carriage under a fucking whim!”

“Levi, calm down,” Erwin ordered.

“No,” Levi hissed as he lightly beat his fist on Erwin’s chest and hung his head, “This is his entire fucking fault.”

“No, it is my fault,” Optimus proclaimed, earning all eyes on him.

“Optimus, no,” Hanji proclaimed, “This is not your fault.”

“I did nothing,” Optimus continued, “When Eren went rogue and joined Zeke, I was unable to stop him. When Eren released the titans in the wall, I was unable to do anything. I had opportunities to stop him before the situation got out of hand. But I was blinded once more by my connection with him that I was unable to prevent the worst. Now Eren is gone, and I…,”

Optimus couldn’t continue as he lowered his head and covered his eyes with his hand. His other hand gripped the device as he began to trembling. Hanji hugged him again and rubbed the titan’s back to comfort him.

“I am s-,”

“Don’t you fucking dare apologize!” Levi shouted at the Prime, causing Erwin to pull him back by the shoulder.

“Levi!” Hanji exclaimed.

“No, Hanji!” Levi shouted before turning to Optimus, “You! Don’t you fucking dare apologize for that little shit! You did everything for him! When you first got here, you were by his side when everyone thought he was a monster, and you didn’t even know him then! You trained him and saved his life over and over again! But he betrayed you! He abandoned you! He’s the one who broke your trust! Don’t apologize for the shit he did to you! You didn’t deserve it! Apologize one more time, and I’m going to beat you with the damn prosthetic leg!”

Erwin had enough and grabbed Levi before dragging him across the mess hall and sitting him down. Magath watched as Erwin calmed Levi down before turning back to Optimus. The Prime moved his hand to his mouth, and Magath could see the pain and sorrow in his eyes.

“Optimus, you saved our world,” Magath began, “You’re a hero.”

“I am just a soldier,” Optimus proclaimed as he shook his head, “I am no hero. I could not even protect the ones I cared about. I should not be called that.”

This was still surreal. Magath had feared him and what he could do. His power was practically unmatched. Everyone in Marley saw him as a devil. His allies and the Eldians on Paradis saw him as a hero. He just saw himself as a failure.

He was just…a normal being.

There was also a cut scene where Optimus was recovering and Predaking helped him out but I just didn't include it in the final draft. Optimus' recovery was supposed to be a little longer so he could see what Predaking and Starscream were up to. Although, I never really wrote the draft for Starscream and Optimus' talk.

Optimus collapsed on ground and groaned. He reached for the beam once more to force himself to his feet again, but he collapsed once more. Optimus sighed to himself in defeat, wanting nothing more to rest. He tensed when he heard loud footsteps coming towards him, and blinked when he saw familiar clawed feet in front of him.

“Well, this is a sight to behold,” the being spoke, “The great Optimus Prime, weak and defenseless.”

Optimus turned his gaze up to Predaking, ready to retort, but stopped himself short when he saw Predaking looking down at him with energon in his servo. Optimus was surprised; however, by the sight of three predacon sparklings looking down at him curiously from his shoulders.

Predaking noticed the confused look on the Prime’s face and merely removed a sparkling from his right shoulder. “They are here for a check-up.”

The sparkling chirped as Predaking place them down. The sparking took one more look at Optimus before running around the medical area. Predaking placed the other two down and they followed the first one to play.

Optimus was surprised when Predaking offered his servo to him. The Prime took it and winced in pain as Predaking helped him to his pedes. Predaking placed Optimus’ arm over his back and guided him to a sitting area. Optimus gave a small sigh of relief when Predaking helped him sit down. The predacon then handed the Prime his energon, causing Optimus to glance in surprise.

“You need this more than I,” Predaking proclaimed as he looked down at his injury.

“Thank you,” Optimus said as he took the energon from his servo.

“And if I wanted you dead, you’d be dead,” Predaking told him, “Besides, I find no honor in killing a defenseless being.”

“Have you…integrated into Cybertronian society?” Optimus asked with curiosity.

“There’s a region of Cybertron that I rule, and I hold I position on the council to discuss the region’s needs and political issues,” Predaking answered, “I’ve used Shockwave to help create more predacons in exchange for his asylum. Frankly, I’m not that angry with him. Not compared to Megatron.”

Optimus didn’t respond, causing Predaking to continue talking. “I know that he’s still alive, and that you know where he is.”

“…do you intend to kill him?” Optimus asked.

Predaking stretched his arm. “No. I’ve tried fighting him and have nearly lost my life on both occasions. One of those occasions, he was possessed by Unicron, but it has not benefitted me in the long run. Besides, I have other priorities now.”

“And the Autobots?” Optimus questioned.

“I work with them on a weekly basis,” Predaking deadpanned, “And they’ve allowed me to create my empire. You can consider the relationship mutual at the very least.”

“I see,” Optimus replied.

Knockout came walking out off his office and picked up one of the sparklings. The two watched Knockout scold the sparkling for trying to claw at his paintjob before walking back into his office.

“I’ve heard bits and pieces of what happened through Knockout,” Predaking said.

Optimus placed his servo over his wound and looked down solemnly.

“I’m sorry for your loss,” Predaking apologized.

Optimus lifted his head and stared at Predaking. “I did not think…that you would say that.”

“I know how you feel,” Predaking reasoned, “Being the last of my kind and finally having brethren of my own, before it was ripped from under me by someone I trusted. It hurts, when someone you trust betrays you.”

“I felt as though I could have done more,” Optimus admitted.

“There’s not much you can do,” Predaking declared, “He’s dead. You can’t change that. You also can’t change his actions. That was his choice. Don’t blame yourself for his idiocy.”

“He was not-!”

“He clearly was,” Predaking explained, “Because he thought betraying you, someone who gave up his own life for his home, was the best option at survival. You owe him nothing, not after everything you did.”

Knockout walked out of the office with the first sparkling. “First one’s fine. Everything is in working order.”

Predaking nodded his head as Knockout walked up to the second sparkling and picked them up.

“Listen Prime,” Predaking began, “Continue onward, whatever path that leads.”

The first sparkling climbed up Optimus’ leg and sat in his lap, nuzzling his stomach. Optimus was startled by the action, lifting his servos up in response. He turned to Predaking, who merely shrugged in response.

“They’ve taken a liking to you,” Predaking merely commented.

Optimus slowly placed a servo on the sparkling’s back. The sparkling purred in response, happy for the contact.

There were a few other key moments during the final battle that ultimately got scrapped. This is a scene where Optimus is the one sending the message to Cybertron and the rest of the world:

Optimus couldn’t hear. At least he couldn’t hear in the beginning. He was still in denial over the current situation happening. He could hear screams of horror as the humans ran for their lives away from the wall, only to be drowned out by the pounding footsteps of the Colossal Titans. Eren…he couldn’t have done this. It was all in head…right?

Megatron and the others were finally at a safe distance from the Colossal Titan before Megatron set Optimus down. Annie skidded to a stop next to Megatron while Reiner was close behind with a crying Colt and Magath in tow.

“Commander, what do we do?!” Connie yelled at Hanji, “What the fuck do we do?!”

“I…I don’t know,” Hanji whispered before clutching her head, “This is all my fault. I couldn’t do anything as Commander.”

Megatron turned his attention to a crying Colt on his knees while Magath wordlessly looked onward. Reiner and Annie were horrified as well. Annie had tears in her eyes while Reiner looked defeated.

“Optimus, we must do something!” Megatron told the Prime, but was shocked to see the heartbroken and hopeless expression on his face.

“Eren…how could you?” Optimus breathed, “After everything…how could you?”

In that moment, Megatron felt guilty. He had an idea of what Eren intended to do, but he felt he didn’t do enough to stop him. Now, the entire world was about to fall apart, and everyone was horrified and ready to give up. He couldn’t lead them. He didn’t have the strength to, but he knew that Optimus could.

Megatron clenched his fists before punching Optimus in the face, startling everyone there.

“Megatron-!”

“Stay out of this!” Megatron told Erwin before picking Optimus up by his shoulders and looking him dead in the optics.

“Megatron,” Optimus spoke.

“Eren is gone!” Megatron shouted.

Optimus blinked in surprise. Megatron never called Eren by name before.

“Eren is gone and he’s not coming back!”Megatron declared before pointing to the Colossal Titans, “He did this! He threw caution to the wind and condemned the planet! We must fight, or everything is going to fall to ruin!”

Optimus watched the Colossal Titan, still feeling conflicted. What was he supposed to do? He didn’t know if he could do anything. But if he did nothing, this entire world would be destroyed, and despite the world’s opinion of him, he couldn’t allow this catastrophe to happen.

“Do what you believe is right,” He remembered Erwin telling him.

“Megatron, what the hell?!” Levi demanded.

“He can’t hesitate now!” Megatron shot back.

Megatron felt a servo on his shoulder and saw that Optimus had returned to his calm demeanor, ready to fight for his resolve.

“Megatron, thank you,” Optimus said.

Megatron watched Optimus transform his servo into a blaster before shooting a Colossal Titan in the face. The titan stumbled before falling forward and landing face first on the ground. Everyone covered their eyes as the smoke began to rise from the titan as it began to disintegrate.

“Optimus!” Wheeljack called through the comm. link, “I found a way to contact Cybertron! Just say the word and I’ll send the message!”

“Send the message as far and wide as you possibly can,” Optimus ordered.

Optimus heard a sound of pain on the other end.

“Hurry!” Wheeljack shouted.

“Humans of this world!” Optimus began, “My name is Optimus Prime! You may know me as the metal titan, or a demon from Paradisisland, but today, I am this world’s ally!”

Magath was surprised when he heard the titan’s voice ringing through the radio on his person. How far was this message going?

“The day you have all feared has come!” Optimus continued, “The Colossal Titans within the wall have been released by Eren Jaeger! He has full intentions of destroying the entire world! While Eren has no qualms with the actions he has committed, I cannot condone an act like this to continue! Marley, Eldia, none of it matters anymore! We all stand at the brink of annihilation! The fate of all of us hinges on today! If you wish to live, stand and fight!”

Arcee whipped out her blades and got into a fighting stance.

“If you wish to survive, stand and fight!”

Megatron activated his sword.

“If you wish to protect your home, your people, stand and fight!”

The Survey Corps pulled out their blades on their persons.

“I beg of you, humanity!” Optimus pleaded, activating his mask, “Help me stop Eren! Help me protect this world!”

“Offer up your hearts!” Hanji screamed as the Survey Corps, Arcee and Optimus ran straight for the onslaught. Megatron was about to run in, but someone stopped him by grabbing his arm. He turned to see Reiner grabbing onto his arm and falling onto his knees.

“Let go, boy,” Megatron ordered.

“You can’t be thinking about fighting!” Colt screamed, “We lost! The world is going to be trampled into ruin no matter what we do!”

“So you suggest I stand by and do nothing?” Megatron asked.

“…what else is there to do?” Colt whimpered.

Megatron sighed in irritation before switching into the vernacular he used as Matthew. “I spent all my time teaching you idiots for the past four years and when faced with defeat, you back out like a bunch of cowards.”

Everyone except Annie looked at Megatron in shock. Reiner let go of Megatron and immediately crawled back.

“M-matthew?!” Magath exclaimed.

“It’s Megatron,” he corrected as he switched to his regular voice, “I was sent to infiltrate you and gather information. I had full expectation that Zeke was going to betray us and didn’t trust him for a second. However, I had no clue that Eren was going to cause this. Now I have to go and stop this before this world is destroyed. Under normal circumstances I wouldn’t care, but I suppose that I still have some morality left in me, considering I wouldn’t want to see another world destroyed by civil war and idiocy.”

“But there’s nothing we can do!” Colt yelled.

“And this is why I respect the Survey Corps more than I do any of you,” Megatron declared, “When pushed to the brink of annihilation; they choose to fight, regardless of how terrified they are or how low the chances at victory are. Now you have two options: either you run and wait for certain doom like cowards,”

Megatron removed the shield from his back and handed it to Annie, “Or you choose to die here, and say that you tried.”

Annie took the shield from Megatron grasped before the titan transformed and flew towards the Colossal Titans.

====

It was originally Smokescreen that was supposed to save Optimus and not Bumblebee.

“No!” Arcee screamed.

“Optimus!” Hanji yelled as the foot came closing in on him.

Reiner bolted towards the Prime, trying to reach for him. Reiner covered his face when the foot landed on the Prime. Reiner watched in horror as the Colossal Titan removed his foot, but was confused to see the titan alive and well, with another metal titan shielding him from the blow. He was mostly white, with a mix of blue and red on his armor. What was most distinctive was the number 38 on the wings of the titan.

Optimus groaned and rubbed his helm, not noticing the other titan jumping off of him and standing up in panic.

“What the slag is that?!” he exclaimed, “Why are they fifty feet tall?! Why don’t they have skin?!”

“Smokescreen?!” Optimus asked in surprise.

“Sorry! Sorry!” Smokescreen apologized as he helped the Prime to his feet, “I’m just freaking out right now and everyone else is pretty much out of the loop. We managed to get as many as possible.”

“’We?’” Optimus questioned.

“Of course,” Smokescreen smiled before pointing upwards, “Can’t have a party without guests.”

Optimus and Reiner looked up to see Ultra Magnus’ ship flying over the Colossal Titans. The ship fired four missiles straight for the heads of four Colossal Titans. Three of them went down since they aimed for the head, but one missile only aimed for the chest. The bottom hatch for the ship opened and Bulkhead, Bumblebee, and Ultra Magnus jumped out towards it. Bulkhead hit the titan in the face with his wrecking ball while Bumblebee stabbed it in the eyes with a new weapon Optimus had never seen on him. Ultra Magnus pulled out a silver hammer and smashed the Colossal Titan in the skull. The titan collapsed onto the ground before all three of them landed on their pedes. Reiner took a step back in fear while Optimus watched with relief.

“The call made it,” Hanji breathed before laughing, “The fucking call made it!”

“Optimus, can you hear me?!” Ratchet called from the ship comm. system.

“Loud and clear, old friend!” Optimus exclaimed with joy.

“Then tell me what in the Allspark is going on!” Ratchet demanded, “Wheeljack said this was an apocalyptic scenario, but these readings are off the charts!”

“Is that Megatron?!” Bulkhead yelled through the comm. as he took notice of Megatron slicing through the nape of the titan the three knocked down. Ultra Magnus tried to fire at him, but Megatron transformed and took off into the fray before he had a chance.

“We’ll explain later!” Arcee shouted.

“This is something that warrant’s an explanation now!” Ultra Magnus declared.

“Whatever it is, we’re with you Optimus!” Bumblebee declared.

Optimus turned back to Smokescreen who gave him a smile and a thumb’s up. The Prime calmed his nerves before activating the comm.

“Autobots!” Optimus began, “This world is on the brink of annihilation due to the Colossal Titan threat! Your mission is to help the Survey Corps eliminate this threat! I need another group to assist with the evacuation of the denizens of this place! Do not let a single titan escape this island!”

“Yes, sir!” They all shouted.

“Autobots, transform and roll out!” Optimus shouted before transforming into his alt mode and driving off followed by the rest of them, say for Smokescreen.

“The ‘Bots are back in business!” Smokescreen cheered before looking up at the Colossal Titans, “Now how do I get up there?”

Smokescreen finally took notice of Reiner who slowly backed away from him.

“Hi, I’m Smokescreen,” he greeted, “You can understand me, right?”

Reiner hesitantly nodded his head.

“Great!” Smokescreen exclaimed before pointed up to the titans, “Could you throw me up there?”

===

Jack and Miko had a lot more cool moments. Like this:

“Gabi…I love you,” Falco whispered.

Gabi stared at Falco in shock. “W-what?”

“I love you,” Falco spoke louder, “I love you from the bottom of my heart. I became a warrior so I could protect you. I tried to stop you from becoming the Armored Titan because I didn’t want you to shorten your lifespan. I hoped one day…we could get married. We could grow old together. But…,”

Falco turned back to the titans closing in on them. “We’re never going to get that chance.”

Gabi’s face turned red while tears still came from her eyes. “Why? Why tell me now?”

“Because I didn’t want to die, without a single regret,” Falco smiled sadly at her.

Gabi didn’t know what to do. This was her last moment, and she was stumped. She didn’t want to see her imminent demise coming towards her, so she hugged Falco tightly.

“Thank you…for always being there for me,” she told him.

Falco wrapped his arms around her. “I hope I get to see you again…someday.”

The two shut their eyes, waiting for their death, but they snapped open when they heard a loud metal clang above them. The two looked up in shock to see a silver, suit of armor struggling to hold up the foot. They looked closer to see that it was a human with pink hair controlling the armor. She yelled as the ground beneath began to crack.

“Who-?!”

“Move your asses!” the woman shouted at them.

Gabi grabbed Falco and pulled them both from under the foot of the Colossal Titan. They gasped when a strange, black vehicle drove up in front of them. They saw a man with black hair and blue eyes wearing a black combat outfit opening the door.

“Get in!” he ordered them.

“But she-!”

“GO!” She screamed at them as the ground continued to break under the pressure.

Falco and Gabi jumped into the car and the man drove off away from his comrade. Gabi looked behind her and watched in horror as the foot came down and smashed the woman. She covered her mouth in horror, but was confused when the armor still moved. The woman struggled to get up to her feet, but she looked fine.

“Miko, you doing okay?!” the man asked with concern.

“Ugh, my head,” the woman known as Miko spoke through the vehicle.

“This is a dream come true for you; I don’t understand why you’re complaining,” the man retorted.

“Just because this is a dream come true, doesn’t mean I can’t complain about a head injury!” she shouted.

“Just stay close behind me!” the man ordered, “Stay alive!”

“You too!” she shouted.

“Who are you?!” Falco demanded.

“Jack Darby!” he answered, “I work with the Autobots! We’re here to help with the evacuation of the island!”

“E-evacuation?” Falco stuttered.

“Did you not see the flying ship?!” Jack asked as he gestured behind him.

Falco and Gabi looked up to see a large, flying object firing at the Colossal Titans.

“You’re…here to save us?” Falco asked as he turned back to him.

“Kind of the point!” Jack answered.

“What about Optimus?!” Gabi exclaimed, “Where is he?!”

“He’s fine!” Jack reassured, “He’s helping contain the threat!”

“But-!”

“Trust us!” Jack exclaimed, “He’ll be okay!”

====

And this:

Jack pulled up to the dock and saw the Eldians trying to broad the last Marleyan ship. He stopped the car and jumped out the car before running towards the crowds of Eldians trying to get pass the Marleyans to safety. Jack watched in horror as one of the Marleyans shot an Eldian in the chest, causing his body to fall into the water. A woman wept while other Eldians cried out in horror.

Jack immediately burned his way through the crowd and pulled out his gun before firing two shots in the air to gain everyone’s attention.

“What the hell is your problem?!” Jack shouted at the five Marleyans, “These people need to board and get off the island!”

“They are demons!” a lieutenant shot back, “They’re the ones responsible for this!”

“They are innocent people!” Jack declared, “There is a apocalyptic scenario right now, and you’re about to leave them to die?!”

“You have no right to talk to Marleyans that way!” the lieutenant shouted, “I will count to five and you-!”

Jack aimed his gun straight for the lieutenant’s head and pulled down the hammer. “Three.”

The man tensed up as two other Marleyans aimed their guns at Jack. Before anyone could make a move, someone screamed as a mutated titan spotted them and rushed towards them on all fours. Everyone on the docks screamed and panicked while Jack jumped off the wooden platform and onto the solid ground of the harbor.

“Kid!” Jack shouted at Falco as he ran to the car, “There’s a lever at the bottom left of the driver’s seat! Pull it!”

Falco panicked as he looked down at the driver’s seat. When he saw the lever, he pulled it up and the trunk of the car opened. Jack grabbed the rocket launcher and aimed it at the titan’s head. He fired and the weapon collided with the titan’s face, sending the creature back. The creature began twitching as it forced itself back up as Jack was reloading the rocket launcher. Before he could strike again, a blur flew behind the titan and sliced through the nape of the neck. Jack looked up to see a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes spinning and landing on the ground. She heaved and forced herself to stand on one knee as the titan fell to the ground.

“Queen Historia!” someone shouted from the crowd.

Miko ran up to Jack while looking down at the decaying titan. “I can explain.”

“Explain my ass,” Jack hissed as he threw the rocket launcher back in the trunk and shut it.

“My name is Historia Reiss: the ruler of Paradis island!” Historia bellowed to the Marleyans, “You will let these people on the ship! I won’t ask again!”

Miko pounded her fists together while Jack aimed his guns at the Marleyans. The three looked at each other with worry before lowering their weapons and moving to the side. Eldians rushed onto the ship while Jack opened the door for Falco and Gabi.

“Get on the ship, now!” He ordered.

Gabi and Falco nodded their heads as they ran to the ship. Falco turned back to Jack as he shut the passenger door.

“Thank you, Jack!” Falco shouted.

Jack nodded as Gabi pulled Falco onto the ship.

Erwin arrived and landed on the ground as he saw the Marleyans relenting and letting the Eldians on the ship. Erwin sighed with relief before noticing Historia looking at him.

“Your majesty, you can’t be here,” Erwin declared.

“I must,” Historia declared.

“You are a mother now,” Erwin retorted, “Your people-!”

“I am protecting my people!” Historia retorted.

“Can this argument wait ‘till later?!” Miko shouted at them.

===

And Yelena was supposed to survive up until the Rumbling before Jack killed her. Not Eren:

Yelena yelled in fury as she shot Jack square in the chest, causing him to fall down from the force.

“Jackson!” Erwin exclaimed before Yelena threw a rock at his head, giving him a concussion and causing him to sway.

“Why are you doing this?!” Magath demanded as he forced himself to stand up, “You’re human! Why are you helping these devils?!”

Magath yelled as Yelena shot him in the leg once more, causing him to fall to his knees.

“You will not speak of Zeke that way!” Yelena yelled, a contorted expression appearing on her face, “He saved me! Gave me purpose! Gave me a reason to fight! This is the only way to free the world! The extinction of the Eldian race, so they will not suffer anymore, and the fall of the Marley Empire! The arrogant empire who fed on the power of the titans! Who used it to destroy my home, kill my family, and rendered me nothing more than a tool!”

Magath tensed as Yelena aimed her gun at his head. “You can’t,”

“I will!” Yelena smiled sadistically, “I will never stop! Never! Not until Eren and Zeke Jaeger create a new world!”

A gunshot rang out, and Magath saw blood pouring from Yelena’s abdomen. Yelena looked down in confusion at her wound before collapsing on the ground. She forced herself on her hands and twisted her head to see Jack standing up, alive and well with a spare gun in his hand.

“I-I…k-killed you,” Yelena stuttered as blood pooled from her mouth.

“You would’ve,” Jack admitted as he walked over to her, “But unfortunately you don’t know many pop culture references.”

Jack lifted his shirt to reveal a bulletproof vest with a glowing blue device in his chest pocket. He removed the bullet stuck in the center before dropping it at her hands. “Common rule in military training: never shoot for the chest.”

Jack kneeled down before aiming his gun at her head, noticing her confidence wavering. “Common rule of the apocalypse: make sure to double tap.”

Magath jolted as Jack shot Yelena twice in the head, causing her corpse to collapse on the ground and blood pooling from her head. He tensed when Jack walked over to him and offered his hand. Magath took it and forced himself to stand up on his good leg.

“Jackson,” Erwin grunted as he forced himself to stand up. “You’re okay.”

“Had my good luck charm,” Jack smiled as he showed Erwin the blue device.

“Why did you save me?” Magath asked Jack. “You heard what she said.”

“Yep,” Jack sighed, “But I sometimes make stupid decision. Hell, I once spared Megatron when I had the chance to kill him.”

“When?” Erwin asked in surprise.

“Back on Earth,” Jack answered, “I didn’t do it then because I knew Optimus wouldn’t have, at least not like that. So seeing a Nazi who deserves to die for pillaging someone’s home die like that didn’t sit well with me.”

Magath blinked in response.

“Like I said, stupid decision,” Jack declared, “And to make sure I don’t make another one.”

Jack pulled out his gun and shot twice at Yelena’s head.

“A bit gratuitous, but like I said: double tap,” Jack said.

“You already shot her twice in the head!” Magath exclaimed.

“There are skinless giants walking around and mutated ones that regenerate in five seconds,” Jack reminded, “I’m pretty justified. Let’s go.”

And during the final battle, Eren was actually aware of who Bumblebee was before taking the shot. And he also has a flashback to a conversation he had with Megatron before throwing the spear:

Eren glared at Megatron as the former warlord finally looked ready to kill him. He couldn’t let that happen. He couldn’t die yet. He understood Megatron now and that pissed him off to no end! He understood his sorrow and what he meant to Optimus and vice versa. There had to be something he could do. Something to take Megatron off guard. What would that even be?

“I have a favor to ask you,” Eren requested as Megatron made his way to the door.

“You’re already threatening the failure of this whole operation,” Megatron hissed, “I am not doing a single thing for you after this.”

“I know about you and Armin,” Eren proclaimed.

Eren saw Megatron freeze entirely as he almost placed his hand on the doorknob. He got his attention again, but he had to tread lightly.

“I know that you’ve been talking to him,” Eren continued, “That you trust him. That you’ve been telling him about your own demons and your relationship with Optimus. I know that you’ve had nightmares about Unicron taunting you as you drown in a sea of your victims.”

Eren could see Megatron’s hand shaking and was surprised. Had he really backed him into a corner?

“…When?” Megatron demanded ominously.

“Before I came here,” Eren answered as he did his best to hide his surprise, “I was going to talk to Armin, but you and him were already having a rather important conversation.”

“Not a single human will believe what you know,” Megatron proclaimed, “That’s what you want isn’t it? To expose my secrets. Give Paradis a fighting chance to take me down.”

“I don’t care about exposing you,” Eren retorted, “You trust Armin. I know that much. And Mikasa’s the only human that you’ve openly showed respect for. I am asking a really stupid request: I’m asking that you take care of them when I’m gone. I want them to live long lives, even after I’m gone.”

“…why would you ask someone that cares nothing about the human race?” Megatron demanded.

“Because Optimus needs to go back to Cybertron,” Eren answered, “Wheeljack and Arcee are his only chance. You can never go back to your home. You have nothing else, and nowhere else to go.”

“…That is where you are wrong,” Megatron declared, “I made a deal with the two wheeler. Once this conflict is over, I return with them to Cybertron to be executed for my crimes. I’m running out of time, just like you.”

“Why?” Eren demanded, “Why would you do that? You’re not supposed to bend to anyone. Why are you forfeiting your life?!”

“Because I am done running!” Megatron shouted as he finally turned to Eren.

Eren was shocked to see emotions swirling in his eyes besides his arrogance and confidence. There was fear and acceptance and anger and…hopelessness.

“I am done running and hiding from what I did,” Megatron declared, “Even if I stayed here, what good would that do for me? There is no benefit. It is just a prolonging of the inevitable. The Survey Corps still see me as a threat; they would be happy that I’m gone and out of their lives.”

“Armin would care,” Eren proclaimed.

“He would not,” Megatron believed before sighing, “Ask someone else to do something I can’t. But let me make something extremely clear.”

Eren grew terrified as Megatron stepped towards him, grabbed him by his shirt, and looked him dead in the eyes.

“You can destroy yourself all you want,” Megatron began, “I hate you; I don’t care about you at all. The only reason you’re alive is because I have a debt to settle with Optimus and because Armin and Mikasa care for you. But if you harm Armin and Mikasa in any way, or they end up dead for your so called mission, I will kill you in front of Optimus. I don’t care if he hates me afterword; I won’t let someone like you escape this situation alive. I’ll grant you your death wish, but it will be long, slow, painful. You will know why I am feared throughout the universe. Do you understand?”

“…yes,” Eren quietly answered, “I do.”

Armin and Mikasa had to make it out of this alive. No matter what, but no matter what happened next, Megatron would be sent back to Cybertron. For him it was either dying here, or dying weeks from now. It wasn’t about taking Megatron off-guard. It was about taking the Autobots off-guard. Showing that Megatron is…different, despite how much he hated him or believed he didn’t deserve it.

But…if Megatron didn’t save his life all those years ago, he wouldn’t have been here now.

Eren conjured up another spear as his attention turned to someone behind Megatron. The Autobot Bumblebee was fighting another abnormal titan. The Autobot that killed Megatron.

‘Alright then, Megatron,’ Eren thought as he raised his spear, ‘Let’s see,’

Megatron noticed the spear wasn’t directing towards him.

‘How you would react,’

Megatron followed Eren’s gaze and saw Bumblebee behind him.

‘If I killed the Autobot that killed you!’ Eren threw the spear towards Bumblebee.

Megatron couldn’t reason with himself as to why he bolted towards Bumblebee. Bumblebee took his life, made him rust at the bottom of the ocean before falling under Unicron’s control. But he took over Bumblebee’s mind, killed him, ripped out his voicebox mercilessly. He hurt him, made him suffer, so why was he trying to save him?

Bumblebee managed to kill the abnormal titan he was fighting when he heard someone call his name. He turned and gasped when he saw a spear headed straight for him. Before he could react, someone pushed him out of the line of the attack. Bumblebee was shocked to see that it was Megatron who pushed him out of the way. Before Bumblebee could react or determine what happened, the spear cut through Megatron’s arm and tore it off.

Both Autobot and ex-con skidded across the ground, with Megatron’s arm flying off in the process. Bumblebee managed to sit up, trying to process what just happened, only to be distracted by Megatron yelling in pain. He turned to see Megatron crying out in pain as he held onto the stump where his arm was. The spear had cut through his upper arm, his circuits there were now sparking and fried, and energon was leaking from his wound.

‘Why?’ Bumblebee questioned. Why did Megatron save him?

Eren was surprised as he stood up fully. At the end of the day, it didn’t matter. He repaid his debt to him.

Initially none of the recovery efforts were going to extend to Earth. Since the Rumbling only affected the island and it's citizens, a lot of the relief efforts went to Paradis, thus a lot more key moments happened there. For example, there was a moment with Ultra Magnus, Jack, Ratchet, and Magath after the neutral treaty signing. I originally had Ultra Magnus and Ratchet have holoforms but I decided to scrap it. Didn't want to abuse that.

Magath saw them walking out the room and quietly followed them out. When he exited the room, he noticed Jack quietly laughing at Ultra Magnus.

“That was awesome,” Jack told the Commander, “You really scared the ambassador.”

“After what I’ve heard from the natives, I wasn’t going to allow disrespect to befall any of us,” Ultra Magnus declared.

“You have to admit, you enjoyed it,” Jack smirked.

“It was…entertaining,” Ultra Magnus admitted.

“Wait,” Magath called out, earning all eyes on him.

“Hi…,” Jack trailed off.

“Don’t you have to take care of business here in Marley?” Ratchet asked him.

“No,” Magath answered, “And I would like to come with you back to Paradis,”

They all raised an eyebrow at him.

“Why?” Ultra Magnus demanded, “Even though you’ve called off the attacks on Paradis, how are we so sure that we can trust you considering your involvement in the attacks there in the first place?”

“I have no excuse, sir,” Magath answered, “But my men are there. I believe I could help alleviate the tension between Marleyans and Eldians there. Just because the titans are gone, doesn’t mean the prejudice is.”

“He does bring up a good point,” Jack admitted, “I can’t keep them under control by myself and Miko’s one step away from, and I quote, ‘murdering the knockoff Nazis’.”

Ultra Magnus sighed. “Fine. Miko doesn’t take kindly to obeying orders when she’s passionate about it.”

“If you are coming, help with this,” Ratchet said as he handed Magath the projector and the laptop, “Don’t drop it. Rafael will make you pay for it.”

“H-how much is this worth?” Magath asked with concern as he followed the three.

“More than your world’s currency,” Ultra Magnus answered.

===

There was also a moment of them traveling to Paradis and a few other things.

Magath looked up in awe and fear at Ultra Magnus’ ship. Jack decided to take Rafael’s stuff and put it on the ship, letting the commander take the view in. Ultra Magnus was ready to call a spacebridge as Ratchet checked on Optimus’ vitals on his wrist.

“He’s still stable,” Ratchet informed, “Thank Primus.”

“What is his percentage at recovery?” Ultra Magnus asked.

“I can’t say for the moment,” Ratchet admitted, “All I can tell you is that he’s stable. I wish there was more I could do.”

“You are doing what you can,” Ultra Magnus proclaimed, “Optimus is alive because of you.”

“It’s keeping him alive that’s the hard part,” Ratchet sighed.

Ultra Magnus called the spacebridge and it opened before the two of them.

“I’ll return in two weeks to check how everything is on Paradis,” Ratchet proclaimed.

“Make sure to take a break,” Ultra Magnus advised.

Ratchet nodded his head and gave a small salute before passing through the bridge. Magath watched in a daze as Ultra Magnus closed it. The Marley commander felt a tap on his shoulder and turned to see Jack.

“You coming or what?” Jack asked.

Magath followed Jack on the boarding dock of the ship. Ultra Magnus stepped on, mindful of the two humans before pressing a switch on the side. Magath stumbled a little as the dock went up and closed. Magath looked around the interior of the ship, and was overwhelmed by the advanced technology. Ultra Magnus walked over to the pilot seat and activated the controls.

“We’ll be taking off soon,” Ultra Magnus informed, “Time to the island is fifteen minutes.”

“Only fifteen?” Magath whispered. He was startled when Jack handed him a paper bag.

“It might be too fast for you,” Jack remarked.

The Marleyans watched as the ship began floating off the ground before flying north towards Paradis. Magath held onto a groove in the wall and placed the bag over his mouth. Once the commander got used to the turbulence, he was able to let go of the ship. He looked over to see Jack typing something on that rectangular box. He placed the box to his ear and began talking with someone. He seemed rather agitated and began to raise his voice.

“Look, I get how frustrating it is, but you can’t kill them,” Jack declared, “No…No!...Tase them only!...I swear if you do something stupid when I get there, you’re going to be in trouble!”

Jack hung up the phone in response.

“Seems that Miko is getting restless,” Ultra Magnus remarked.

“Don’t blame her,” Jack admitted, “Considering the shit we have on Earth, I don’t blame her for being ready to lash out.”

“That doesn’t mean she should,” Ultra Magnus declared, “We’re trying to create peace.”

“Let’s hope bringing you will help,” Jack addressed Magath.

“They should listen to me,” Magath said.

“Better,” Jack said as he pulled out some gum and began chewing it.

“…Will Optimus live?” Magath finally asked.

Jack lifted his head to look at him. “He’s in good hands, right now. Ratchet’s not going to let him die.”

“That wound was severe,” Magath admitted.

“Ratchet has treated far worse wounds,” Ultra Magnus chimed in, “It will take time, however.”

“Thank you, for the information,” Magath said before turning to Jack, “And thank you for bringing your mother. Mortality rates have been lower than ever thanks to her knowledge of medical practices.”

“No problem,” Jack said, “Just make sure to stop your people don’t cause trouble. We already have to deal with enough racist bullshit already.”

“We didn’t know,” Magath reasoned, “We didn’t know the Eldians on the island were-,”

“Just normal people,” Jack interrupted, “Who had nothing to do with what their ancestors did, so in order to find out you send kids to do your dirty works and keep your hands clean.”

“Jack,” Ultra Magnus warned.

“Yeah, I know,” Jack stated.

Magath felt the sting of Jack’s words and decided not to say anything for the rest of the trip. Even in Marley Military, he always felt something wasn’t right when they were training Eldian children to fight. But having that beaten in by others unabashed, especially by people who risked their lives the save them without knowing them, made him feel like shit.

“We’re here,” Ultra Magnus informed.

‘Already?’ Magath thought as the ship landed on the ground. Ultra Magnus got up from his chair and walked over to the dock with Jack and Magath close behind. The dock lowered and Magath watched in surprise to see the busy camp set up for the Paradis citizens. From his view points, multiple tents were set up, military personal in unfamiliar clothes were going about, and the Autobots seemed to be helping with reconstruction.

“Welcome to Paradis Island,”Jack said before turning to him,“Make sure to keep up.”

Magath was in a daze before he followed close behind Jack. He looked around to see the entire area active and alive. Many tents were provided for Eldians who lost their homes. He looked up to see a green titan talking to ‘38’ titan on how to do construction of some kind. He saw different military soldiers in strange outfits with more advanced guns walking past them and talking quite merrily.

“Jack!” someone called out.

Magath noticed Jack smiling as he walked up to a dark skinned man who was helping pass out food for a line of people at a tent.

“Agent Fowler, good to see you,” Jack greeted.

“You don’t have to call me that, son,” Fowler reassured.

‘Son?’ Magath thought in surprise. This man was his father?

“So how was talking with the world leaders?” Fowler asked as he poured another bowl of soup and handed it to someone.

“About as eventful as it can be,” Jack answered with a shrug, “We brought him to help out though.”

Magath tensed as Fowler looked at him with his eyebrow cocked.

“Sure about that?” Fowler asked Jack.

“Do you wantMiko to start murdering people?” Jack rhetorically asked.

“In this case, I might let it slide,” Fowler admitted.

“No,” Jack warned, “What about General Bryce? What did he saw about establishing relations here?”

“I explained to him everything and he gave an automatic ‘no’,” Fowler answered as he handed out another bowl, “He said that he didn’t want to establish relations here because of the history. And he doesn’t think it would be wise given our current president.”

“That’d just be adding fuel to the fire,” Jack agreed, “Speaking of fire, where’s Miko?”

“Just up ahead,” Fowler answered, “And you better hurry. She’s getting restless.”

“Thanks,” Jack waved, “I’ll make sure to help out later.”

“Make sure to say ‘hi’ to your mom!” Fowler called out as Jack walked away from him while Magath followed.

“Is that man…your father?” Magath asked.

“Step-dad, actually,” Jack corrected, “Mom married him about two years back. I’m guessing you guys don’t do interracial marriages yet.”

“It’s not common, no,” Magath admitted.

“Step the fuck up!” someone shouted.

“Oh no,” Jack groaned as he ran towards the source. Magath was quick to follow and saw a woman rolling up her sleeves to face twenty Marleyans.

“You wanna go you knock off Nazis, cause I am ready!” she shouted.

“I’m not going to back off because of some dainty bitch!” one of them shouted.

“I’ll show you what this dainty bitch can do!” she declared.

“Hey!” Jack shouted, gaining everyone’s attention.

“Jack-!”

“No,” he immediately shut down.

“But-!”

“No,” Jack turned to the Marleyans soldiers, “And seriously? You’re going to overload my mother again? While she’s working tirelessly trying to save lives? What the hell is your problem?”

“She started it!” another pointed at Miko.

“You’re the ones talking smack about the elderly!” Miko shot back.

“I don’t care who started what!” Jack shouted, “Stop being stupid, and follow the current treaty. If this happens again, you guys are booted off the island. No more medical aid for any of you. Got it?”

The Marleyans grumbled in agreement.

And also, Miko's the one who figures one Eren pulled a Lelouch.

“He could’ve pulled a ‘Lelouch’,” Miko shrugged.

Everyone looked in confusion while Jack sighed.

“Why do you feel the need to reference everything to anime?” Jack asked.

“It’s literally part of Japanese culture; I can’t escape it,” Miko proclaimed, “It…also might be a guilty pleasure depending on the scenario.”

“Really?” Jack deadpanned.

“I like my giant fighting mechas,” Miko proclaimed.

“Can we focus?” Levi demanded, “What do you mean by ‘pull a Lelouch’?”

“He’s this character from this anime called ‘Code Geass’,” Miko explained, “There was a race war he wanted to end, so he became a masked super hero. He then took over the government and became the government to rule the world as a dictator and decided to betray his friends. Turns out it was all a ruse and his original plan was to get the whole world to hate him so that a friend, dressed up in Lelouch’s superhero costume, could kill him and end the conflict forever. Ergo ‘pull a Lelouch’.”

“She’s not entirely wrong,” Rafael agreed, “From an outsider’s perspective, something about it seems suspicious. Eren talks about freedom for years and then and the last minute, he wants to kill everyone? The memories of his father along with his crippling PTSD definitely played a factor in decision making, but some things during the final battle didn’t make sense tactic wise, like landing the final blow on Optimus when he was down.”

Now I have a lot more scenes. Like the interactions between the Survey Corps, Jack, Miko, and Rafael were supposed to go differently. Megatron had an entirely different character set up in regards to going back to Cybertron. A few other scenes, but I'll save it for another time. But these were the general ideas that I had for the initial draft of AOP before Isayama escalated the situation and back himself into a corner when it came to the ending of the manga.

I'll release more cut scene from the rough draft when more people ask about it. A lot of what I have now is causing the webpage to crash.

HERE IS WHY SHIRLULU IS A LEGITIMATE SHIP -PART 2

Warning: I'm not a writer and English is not my native language. So kindly bare it or DM me about it. Criticism is welcomed not hate.

Continuation Of Part 1

LELOUCH BEING BOYFRIEND CODED -

1. Lelouch's protectiveness for Shirley -

Being protective of someone is one of the one key traits of being in love.

From what I have noticed ( with rewatch), Lelouch's protectiveness for Shirley is like a second nature, like reflex action.

Here are the instances :

R1 stage 14

From the moment he realized that there was another person who knew his identity (which he had forgotten due to Shirley), instead of worrying about himself, he worried about what might have happened to Shirley, and the thought alone stresses him. He had to force himself to calm down.

Lelouch then meets Mao, a powerful Geass user who could read minds. Mao clearly had advantage over unprepared Lelouch which puts him in danger but all he could think was about Shirley.

The anger and stress is clear on his face ( also in his voice)

R2 stage 13 -

Lelouch jumped after Shirley to save her.

Sure, he trusted Suzaku to help them, but that doesn't eliminate the possibility of Lelouch falling to death along with Shirley.

Lelouch must have been aware of the risk, He cannot afford to die in the middle of an important mission and he had huge social responsibility, even so he still jumped. This shows how protective he is about Shirley.

P.S - Lelouch has been shown as a weak athlete with no stamina or strength, and a guy like that was able to hold on to Shirley not to mention she was struggling in his grip. This scene surprised me. (lol)

The reason why Lelouch let Shirley go with Suzaku, was not because they would get suspicious of his identity, not because they would interfere with his plan, but for Shirley's safety.

By the looks of it Lelouch doesn't want Shirley to be with Suzaku. I wouldn't call it jealousy but he was afraid if Suzaku would take Shirley away like he did with Nunnally.

R2 Stage 03

When Lelouch had planned to save black knights from execution. He planned in such a way that Shirley won't have to face any problem. Even among all the chaos, he didn't forget to think about her.

R2 stage 12

Lelouch instinctively protected Shirley.

R1 Stage 21

Kallen had pushed the pile of steel planks (assuming) to distract everyone from Oghi, and it was about to fall on Shirley, and she was rooted on her spot. Lelouch rushed to help her, but Kallen eventually protected her.(Not a proper Shirlulu moment but everything counts)

Lelouch, who always wanted to keep Shirley safe and to see her dying in front of his eyes must have been something truly traumatic.

rozé talk!

since the first ova is out in streaming i can finally say

i'm really glad the new code geass protagonist is a girl! she has the cutest design and i'm also really glad lelouch is getting less attention now. i fucking HATE his character post-re;surrection and can't stand the directionless route he has going on (and it's getting worse according to the spoilers i've seen from the second batch 😭) but i adore sakuya's design!!! as most people know i'm extremely biased towards purple eyes, pink color palettes and long black hair so it's no surprise i love her♡

her geass being voice-based it's also super original! i wonder if this variance has to do with lelouch having an "incomplete" code 👀

they made sure to connect her to lelouch (im not using that name he gave himself at the end) via him giving her geass. imo it's antithetical to his whole character arc and the whole geass fragments thing? why is he being so irresponsible with the power he has? kinda makes me think that he's gonna turn into the villain that sakuya has to defeat but idk i'm not really convinced of how he's turning out rn

also i dont like his new clothes -_-

#lelouch #🎀#rozé talk #code geass #pls dontget mad its just my opinion ^_^ i didnt like resurrection so be aware of that when reading

Marianne's Past

I went and read the Marianne vi Britannia chapter from Mamoru Iwasa's "Knights of the Round" short story anthology that was released as a bonus volume to his Code Geass R2 novel series.

I am 80% sure that this image that is often seen floating around online was made to promote this specific short story (or maybe accompany a serialized release?), but the illustration itself is not included in the tankobon release.

I'll provide summary of the short here here, but please be aware I am reading with machine TL and there may be errors even despite the best of my double-checking. If you want these details for, idk, academic reasons please go to the source text first!

Anyway this story rules, here it is. Italics mark direct quotes.

We start off strong with Charles thinking "I had no reservations about wasting my own life." Standing in the middle of a battlefield, he laments that Britannia is a dying country structured around a bloodthirsty elite. No dreams, no hope.

"Born into such a world, why would you desperately try and such a small thing as your own life?" he thinks, but then Marianne's voice cuts through to him. Marianne waltzes into the room where Charles stands surrounded by soldiers pointing guns at him. Injured, in her bloodstained white uniform, she fights her way through to him with unbelievable competence and elegance. She beheads all the men as the narration describes the beautiful glisten of her sword and the flow of her hair.

Marianne, the Knight of Six at this point, sheathes her sword and bends the knee before Charles, in the middle of corpses and with both of them splattered over and over in blood.

"I sincerely apologize for any trouble I've caused you by being late," she says.

Marianne tells Charles to evacuate, but he remains stoic and only looks at her arm, which is rendered unmoving by her injury.

"That wound. You've killed, Knight of Six. You've killed the Empire's most powerful knight, the Knight of One."

Only he would have been able to hurt her this badly, Charles reasons.

The Knight of One turns out to be the person who staged this rebellion in the first place and Marianne did indeed kill him before coming to find Charles.

We learn that Charles' reign is being questioned by conservatives because he was such a distant candidate for the throne originally and ascended mostly due to the past emperor's insistence.

"There is external trouble, and the internal anxieties are becoming more and more serious. This a country on the verge of ruin. Don't you agree? Knight of Six," says Charles who is feeling talkative.

Marianne disagrees. After all, she's here and so is Waldstein, still Knight of Five at that time. They won't let it come to that.

"Then, will you come to my side, Marianne?" It's the first time he's ever called her by name and not title and she blushes.

(Here we briefly learn Marianne had a normal military career before being promoted to the Knights of the Round.)

Before she can ask what he means, Marianne realizes the truth for herself and blushes harder. Through a whirlwind of emotion she finds unwavering determination within herself.

"I humbly accept your offer."

He looks at her with eyes that seem almost sad.

"You might regret it."

The narration suggests he may be trying to make sure she knows he isn't going to force her.

Marianne denies the possibility. She won't come to regret this, because as long as she's by his side she will prevent all causes for regret from occurring.

"So you're saying your own happiness depends solely on yourself." Charles finally smiles faintly. "You're bragging, Marianne. Show humility."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Amidst the smell of gunpowder and blood, a man's hand was slowly held out. The girl's hand rested on top of his, a little awkwardly, but with a certain intent.

We then learn that this rebellion, the Blood Crest Incident, took place May 6th 1997 so a bit less than three years before Lelouch is born. Most of the Knights of Rounds were murdered in it or executed for being complicit.

The narration spends some time discussing whether Charles should be seen as a good or bad ruler, coming out conflicted.

Arguments for being a good ruler: Britannia was on the verge of collapsing and being divided between the other two super-powers before Charles revived it. Arguments for being a bad ruler: ... well, about that bloody conquest though.

Fun side details: leader of Charles' political opponents was his uncle the Archduke Louis. Anyway, we skip forward 5 years, and the civil war and unrest has now ended.

Marianne is the 5th Empress. We are treated to her in the Aries villa garden, sparring with three young teen girls from the military academy: Cornelia, Beatrice and Nonette.

None of the girls stand a chance and Marianne harshly critiques their swordplay, but she ends with saying they're getting better and she's looking forward to the next vacation. She winks at them.

We briefly learn that Cornelia's mom comes from a pretty traditional family and wanted her to be more of a palace lady but Cornelia's own wish was to enter the military. Whenever she has time off from school she comes to the Aries villa to let Marianne train her.

As Marianne talks to the girls about their training later, a small kid looks out from under her skirt.

Barely 3year old Lelouch enters the scene! He's entered a shy phase and has to be coaxed to say hi to Cornelia. (But he does do a proper bow and greets her as 'elder sister'!)

Cornelia mentions that Lelouch's shy phase is the total opposite of Euphy who is currently following everyone around 24/7 and being SUPER social no matter the person.

Then, Bismarck comes in. He is holding a crying baby Nunnally and is locked in a vicious circle of trying to get her to stop crying by smiling but having a smile that is too scary to comfort the poor baby. Cornelia laughs at the Knight of One in such a predicament.

Of course, Marianne was the one who forced him to hold the baby despite all his protest that he, who's not even married, would be shit at it. She appears remorseless.

Marianne says she was trying to teach him the stress of a mother who has some maternity nerves due to taking care of two kids, and he's just like. Ma'am the nannies take care of your kids, there is no way you are that exhausted. (He does not say this out loud.)

Beatrice, who has many younger siblings, saves Bismarck and calms down baby Nunnally. Nonette, who likes throwing babies in the air, is banned from approaching the bappy.

Marianne tells the girls to watch the kids for a bit and walks off to talk with Bismarck about serious matters. There's a cute paragraph about the girls helping Lelouch do his first tumble roll and him being really happy about it.

Bismarck muses that not too long ago it would have been unthinkable for there to be the laughter of children in the palace. Marianne teases him that continuing to ensure this is possible is why he's here, isn't he?

Bismarck is Knight of One and also the ONLY Knight of Rounds at this moment. Marianne left the Knights after becoming Empress and the others all died due to the Blood Crest Incident. No new ones have been appointed since.

Bismarck tells Marianne that he thinks she is more suitable to be Knight of One than him.

Marianne doesn't entertain the thought. Bismarck wants more Knights appointed but Marianne says that Charles was ambivalent to the suggestion, being not really concerned about his own safety. Also there are no promising candidates right now.

Anyway, the main reason Bismarck dropped by is because the current Chinese Emperor passed away. This unrest and uncertainty has Charles setting his sides on border expansion and conquering more territory.

Marianne grows pensive. Is Charles good or evil? She's wondered often. We launch into a flashback:

“Your Majesty--do you aspire to be a conqueror?”

Marianne asked him one day, and Charles, laughed happily, which was unusual.

"Hmm...Is that what you see, Marianne?"

"Yes. At least in my eyes."

"Conqueror, huh? If that's what you want, that's not bad either," Charles muttered, an even more amused smile appearing on his handsome face.

When Marianne heard this, her expression turned grim.

“If you are serious about such things, I will refuse to touch His Majesty from now on. Please do not enter my sleeping quarters again. I will immediately decapitate myself.

"I thought you'd say that. But, Marianne, there's one thing you forgot to mention. In that case, you would only kill yourself after beheading this emperor, right? ”

......

"Is it untrue………?"

"Mhm."

"You are a person who never compromises on yourself. Just like me. Therefore, your wings are something that even this emperor cannot control, and the way you flap your wings nobly captures his heart." Marianne couldn't help but smile crookedly as the truth was whispered to her from an unexpected source. Seeing this, Charles also laughed.

"Marianne. My desire is not to conquer the world. It is to strip away the lies of the world. In the process, I hope for the world. I will rid the world of lies. That is my oath. ...But let me promise you this, Marianne. The inside of your heart that you never show to others. That emptiness that cannot be wiped away. Even that, I will make up for it.”

Marianne's expression returned to normal and she fell silent.

Then she said, "If His Majesty truly thinks so, I will create a 'vessel' for His Majesty. His oath, the power to approach it. The path - an army strong enough to conquer the world."

The emperor laughed loudly this time.

"That means you're joining forces with the worst sinner in history, Marianne. Your children and grandchildren will continue to be accused of being witches who assisted the most evil king in the world."

Marianne smiled too.

"Of course, I am prepared. Your Majesty does remember what I am called, right?"

"The Flash. It sounds good, but a flashing light burns people's eyes out. Moreover, your light is by no means the halo of a saint..."

"A bloody hero's death. I have never wielded a sword for anyone other than myself.

"Even when you protected me... that's why I wanted you. Would you like to see the world together, Marianne?''

“Even if it costs me my life.”

Since then she knew.

This person was planning to spread his wings even bigger someday.

Britannia, a continental country. However, this person cannot fit into such a small container. He has to involve many countries and puts the world under its control. Even if he was called a tyrant, or the king of Hades with the sickle of death. Moreover, his motivation was never ambition. Nor was it vigor. Instead it was because of the tears of blood that this person shed when he was young. To fulfill the vow he made. In that case, what she can do after deciding to walk with this person is--

With this cut-off phrase we go back to the present.

In the evening of her meeting with Bismarck, Marianne calls the three girls to meet her. She appears wearing her old Knights of Round uniform and tells them she won't be able to accompany them in their training for a while, so they should use this opportunity to come at her like they mean it because she also won't hold back. For the first time in their sparring, she is dual wielding which was her preferred mode of combat during her active days.

We skip the combat and go right to Marianne coming back out to talk to Bismarck. He remarks that this was quick. The girls stood no chance, though Beatrice held out slightly longer than the others. Marianne asserts that a Knight of the Emperor needs no naivety or kindness so she tried to knock that out of the girls here. She expects they will be changing bit by bit from here on out. Marianne and Bismarck begin to leave for the capital.

Marianne: "Then let's go, Bismarck. To help the king commit the worst crime in history."

Bismarck: "And so it's the return of the empress general."

As they are about to leave a nanny and a crying baby Lelouch stop them. Lelouch had a scary dream during nap time and needed to see his mommy. He had a dream his mother was going very far away.

Marianne tells Lelouch that she isn't going anywhere. But her eyes are cold, as if she was looking at a wooden dummy. Bismarck has seen this expression on her many times before - it's the face she makes before cutting somebody down on the battlefield.

Bismarck is so used to this expression signifying killing intent that his body almost intuitively moves to protect Lelouch - but Marianne just hugs him.

"Lelouch and Nunnally are mother's treasures. I will always be with them and protect them. Forever and ever."

In her heart, Marianne adds: 'However, this is only true so long as you do not stand in the way of he and I.' She suddenly finds baby Nunnally staring at her - she smiles, and Nunnally suddenly trembles as if frightened.

All she can do is stare at her mother's smiling face.

Six months later the Britannian Empire starts its massive expansion campaign, with Marianne The Flash serving as Charles' greatest support.

Shirlulu hints from Lelouch of the Rebellion Exhibition Pamphlet Book

I don't know Japanese so it's done by all Google Translate. If anyone knows Japanese and would like to translate these, please feel free to do so

SHIRLEY FENETTE

Pretty and lively. Although she is busy with both the swimming club and the student council, her eyes are always fixed on Lelouch. She notices the dangerous expression he sometimes shows, and no matter what difficulties she faces, her feelings for him always win out in the end.

好きという気持ちは強制されて成立するものではない。分かってはいる。だけどカップル認定してもらえるのなら、誰もが思いを寄せる人の元へ走るのではないか。ミレイによって開かれた「キューピッドの日」。シャーリーはルルーシュを追った。彼のいそうな場所へ･･････。そして2人はとても自然に、イベント内でカップルとなった。

Feelings of love cannot be forced. Everyone knows that. But if they could be recognized as a couple, wouldn't everyone run to the person they have a crush on? Milly held "Cupid's Day." Shirley followed Lelouch. To the place where he was likely to be... And the two of them became a couple very naturally during the event.

Personal note: I like how it's obvious to the student body and very natural/expected for them to become a couple. There are always these cases where two people evidently care about each other enough for everyone around to think "It wouldn't be a surprise if they started dating any time soon", and Lelouch and Shirley is one example of such cases, showing that Shirley's feelings were definitely not one-sided at all.

死ぬな、死ぬなっ!

いつもそばにいた。平和な世界の象徴だった。疎ましく思ったこともある。だけどそれは、本当に心を許せる相手だったから。ありのままでいられる相手だった。代わりの存在などどこにもいない。目の前で消えていくその声を、姿をただ、見ていることしかできなかった。ギアスは命を奪っていく。大切な人を奪っていく。

Don't die, don't die!

She was always by his side. She was a symbol of a peaceful world. There were times when he felt lonely, but that was because she was someone he could truly open up to. She was someone he could be himself with. There is no replacement for her. All he could do was to watch her voice and figure disappearing before his eyes. Geass takes away lives. Taking away someone important to you.

ギアスのためにシャーリーを失った悲しみがルルーシュの中で憎悪へ変換され、その矛先がギアス嚮団に向けられた。

Lelouch's grief over losing Shirley to Geass transformed into hatred, and he directed that hatred at the Geass Order.

The script writer direction of the work

Script by Ichiro Okouchi

I had decided to make the main character of my new show a cool hero.

He has supernatural powers, is full of talent, and has a great appearance. A super character who seems to have the whole world in his hands.

But even though he has everything, he can't get the things that are close to him that everyone else can have.

I wrote Lelouch as a boy with such a curse.

He has the absolute power of Geass, and is a great villain who has access to organizations, military power, power, and eventually even the world.

But he can't get small human happiness - friendship, family, or a lover. He has access to everything else.

But in the end, he gets friendship and a family.

In exchange for his life...

That was the character of Lelouch that I had in mind when I first started planning the show.

I worked on the character with the director and many other staff members, and it took the form of an animation.

How did it reach you all?

The trajectory of Lelouch exhibited here exceeded my initial imagination, becoming much more expansive and richer, almost like the life of a single person.

I believe this exhibition will not be complete until all of you who know Lelouch have seen it.

Thank you all for coming to see Lelouch this time.

I hope to be able to repay this gratitude by one day appearing before you all in person.

CODE GEASS Lelouch of the Rebellion

Personal note: In the OG anime series, Shirley is the only one that becomes Lelouch 's girlfriend after the Cupid Day event (if you listen to the outro of R2 Ep12, you will hear Lelouch trying to balance his Zero acitivies and planning out his date with Shirley at the same time). Lelouch has always taken Shirley's feelings seriously, and that's why he erased her love for him in R1 ( to relieve her of the pain he had caused her for killing her father) and then in R2, he didn't want to let Shirley take his hat at first out of fear of getting her involved in his shit again.

I have always taken Lelouch's vehement "NO!" when Shirley accused him of not being serious when he said that he liked her as him admitting that he liked her, just that he was being weighed down by many dangerous things to properly reciprocate her feelings. But Lelouch gave in to Shirley's straightforward sincerity, accepted Shirley's feelings and his own feelings as well at the end of the Cupid Day event.

And guess what, Shirley was taken away from him immediately in the next episode. And it's clearly the intention of the script writer: Lelouch seemed to have the whole world in his hands, seemed to have everything, except for the little normal happiness like friendship, family, or a lover. In the end, he got friendship (Suzaku) and family (Nunally), in exchange for his life. Notice that the "lover" part is still missing? Because Shirley is gone...

❛ 𝐤𝐚𝐞𝐲𝐚 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐲𝐣𝐨𝐲, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐬𝐞𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐫 ⸺ not born to rule, but born watching. a boy forged in salt and silence, who learned early that power is quieter than steel and sharper than truth. he smiles like a secret, moves like a question unanswered, and speaks only when words are weapons. his mind is a labyrinth of storm and shadow—no one knows which part of him is real. he plays the fool like it’s a throne, plays the prince like it’s a mask. in the hush between tides, he plots not conquest—but control. what he seeks isn’t chaos, but design. order. something beautiful built from ruin. he dreams of drowning gods and rewriting their scriptures in ink and blood.

# 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 .

official name: kaeya greyjoy. nicknames: none that ever stuck—some tried “wraith,” “second son,” “stormbait.” most stopped trying. noble title: prince of pyke, though he never answers to it unless it suits his game. date of birth: 29th day of the drowned moon. age: twenty-nine. birthplace: pyke, the heart of the ironborn rot. home: wherever the waves whisper treason and the wind forgets to pray. nationality: ironborn, though he speaks it like a curse. gender: male. pronouns: he + him. orientation: unlabeled; desire, to him, is just another form of leverage. monikers: the quiet kraken, the drowned prince, pyke’s shadow, stormsmile. languages: common tongue, the old speech of the ironborn, high valyrian (perfectly, disturbingly so), bits of lysene and braavosi. accent: lowborn ironborn smoothed by courts and coin—a voice that drips like oil on water, slow, amused, and never quite honest.

# 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 .

faceclaim: harris dickinson. ethnicity: ironborn, though the sea seems to have carved something colder into his bones. hair: black, always neatly parted, always dry even in the thickest storm—like it never belonged to the sea at all. it gleams like wet ink under candlelight. eyes: pale grey, nearly silver—sharp, calculating, the kind of gaze that sees through veils and intentions alike. height: 6'1" / 185 cm. build: long-limbed and austere; the elegance of restraint and quiet menace. scent: salt-brine and spiced ink, a whisper of smoked cedar, iron coins left too long in the cold. dominant hand: right-handed in combat, left-handed in letters and strategy—because symmetry, like honesty, is a choice he rarely makes. scars: a blade-line curving under his ribs (self-inflicted, some say), twin punctures near his spine (a warning once ignored), and faint rope-burns at his wrists he never bothers to hide. allergies: none known—though he claims some wines "cloud the mind" and prefers his untouched. distinguishing features: a silver kraken earring worn only at funerals, an iron ring shaped like a noose on his middle finger, and the shadow of a smirk that rarely means what you think. clothing style: immaculate. layered blacks and storm-dark greys, sharp cuts and high collars. every thread deliberate. his cloaks drag like coffins, his boots leave no sound. there's always a blade on him, but you’ll never guess where.

# 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲.

label: the silent tide / the prince who plays god. mbti: intj – the architect veiled in riddles. enneagram: 7w6 – the enthusiast with a martyr complex. enneagram: 5w4 – the observer with a god complex. element: deep water dragged by storm winds. star sign: unknown—though some whisper he was born during a blood moon, under the cry of gulls and salt-drenched steel. temperament: melancholic–phlegmatic; still waters with treacherous depths, every silence a blade waiting to strike. character inspirations: lelouch vi britannia (code geass) – control as salvation; light yagami (death note) – justice corrupted by ego; kiyotaka ayanokouji (classroom of the elite) – brilliance hidden behind a mask of disinterest; alastor (hazbin hotel) – charisma as a weapon, horror laced with civility. deadly sin: pride dressed as providence. heavenly virtue: discipline sharp enough to draw blood. belief system: he doesn’t fear the drowned god—he studies it. speaks to it not in prayer, but in bargain. to him, belief is leverage, and myth is a tool for those who know how to wield it. coping mechanisms: strategic withdrawal, coded diaries burned at sea, theatrical displays of control, calculated affection. compass: he will sacrifice the few to preserve the illusion of peace, and raze empires if the math demands it. mercy is never his first equation—only the last variable.

# 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 .

hobbies: testing the limits of silence in a room full of liars, teaching crows to recognize faces, drafting unsent letters he never intends to burn, playing old sea shanties backwards to listen for prophecy. religion: he respects the drowned god the way one respects a loaded crossbow—never with reverence, only caution. he listens more to the shifting tides, to the whisper of iron beneath his feet. if there is power in myth, he’ll use it. alliance: house greyjoy by blood, though even the salt in his veins suspects he belongs to something darker. he serves no banner—only outcomes. personal goals: to dismantle the systems that cage him, to outwit every man who thought him harmless, and to build a legacy so vast it cannot be buried, only feared. would they choose family or power? he’d choose power—quietly, ruthlessly. family is a tool, a mask, a liability. he will love them only if it doesn’t cost him the game. if it does, he’ll mourn later—with ink, with wine, with ash.

# 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 .

father: lord reaper lancion greyjoy. relationship :a myth more than a man. kaeya does not speak of him, not out of hatred—but indifference honed like a blade. he remembers the weight of his gaze more than his words, and sometimes dreams of a voice he never truly heard. when asked, he only says, “he ruled with the sea, not his heart.” and that is all. mother: ruling lady julienna greyjoy. relationship: a woman misplaced—sunset in a land of stone. she wears her elegance like armor, always watching, always waiting. kaeya was her favorite once, or so he believes. now, their words are cold wine and veiled warnings. he wonders if she mourns what he’s become, or if she always knew he'd break where she bent. still, he bows to her, if only out of habit. sibling: lord dalton greyjoy. relationship: tba.

# 𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 ...

they say he was born during a storm — but on the iron islands, that means little. storms are common. gods are cruel. children are born screaming or silent, and the sea forgets them either way. yet kaeya did not cry when he came into the world. he opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling like he’d seen it all before. the old midwife, halfway through a prayer to the drowned god, went quiet. "he doesn’t look like one of us." no one answered her.

he is the second born son of the lord regent of pyke. a prince by salt and stone. heir to a kingdom that pretends it never died.

but kaeya was never the boy they hoped for. he was too quiet. too clever. too beautiful. he did not break bones for sport, did not spit salt from his teeth. his eyes — pale and unreadable — unnerved even his own kin. they said he was strange. soft. false. he said nothing.

his childhood passed like a shadow slipping through cracks in the rock. while the other boys learned to wield axes, kaeya learned to listen. to watch. to wait. and the silence, that heavy, haunted silence of the iron islands, became his language. no one taught him to lie — he simply learned that truth had no place in the halls of men who worship drowning.

his mother died when he was ten. they told him it was fever. he knew better.

she had tried to leave. that was all.

after her death, something in him froze. not grief, not rage — something colder. he never wept. he never asked questions. but from that day on, every step he took felt calculated. deliberate. he moved through the world like a chess piece already planning its endgame.

the drowned god demands. the old way endures. but kaeya does not kneel before sea or storm.

he performs his duties — attends the rites, sings the hymns, bleeds when required — but his faith is a performance. his allegiance, a mask. they do not know what he believes. perhaps even he doesn’t. but he has never once said the word no — and yet no one can make him obey.

his father calls him dutiful. his cousins call him cursed. the priests call him dangerous.

they are all correct.

he does not take salt wives. he does not revel in raids. he does not drink himself senseless or brag about the ships he commands. and he commands many. his men say he sees the sea the way others see maps — full of paths that do not yet exist. they follow him because he wins. always. even when he shouldn’t.

he has no friends. only watchers. admirers. enemies.

and still, kaeya greyjoy remains untouched. unclaimed. unmarried. unbound. they whisper that he has some affliction — that he is barren, or broken, or bound to darker things. that he sleeps with ghosts or speaks to things beneath the waves. he lets them whisper.

truth is a currency he never trades.

beneath the armor and irony, beneath the wry smile and well-tailored cruelty, lives a boy who once dreamed of building something that could not rot. a kingdom not made of driftwood and drowned men, but of will. of thought. of something better. but dreams don’t float in saltwater. they sink.

he is no kraken. no wolf. no lion. he is something quieter. colder. the blade hidden in the banquet. the storm that never touches land — but pulls ships into its current all the same.

and when he smiles, it feels like a warning. when he speaks, it feels like a riddle. when he chooses, it’s already too late to stop him.

they do not know what he wants. they do not know if he wants anything at all. and perhaps that is what makes him most dangerous of all.

# 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬 .

kaeya never raises his voice, but when he speaks, the room forgets how to breathe. he weaves threats like lullabies and makes compliments feel like loaded blades.

he hides old maps beneath his mattress, not for the lands drawn in ink, but for the mad scrawls left by those who once dreamed of ruling them.

once, he saved an enemy from certain death—just to see if gratitude could be more corrosive than hate.

he knows how to lie so well he sometimes forgets the truth of his own name. but the sea remembers. it always does.

kaeya doesn’t believe in fate, only in leverage. he doesn’t pray, but he’ll whisper to drowned gods if it gets him what he wants.

his smiles are rehearsed. his silences, strategic. but when he laughs—truly laughs—it sounds like a boy who was never meant to grow up.

sometimes he stands at the edge of pyke’s cliffs and whispers names into the wind—not to be heard, but to see which ones the sea spits back.

# 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 .

the oath he never swore ⸺ childhood bond / fractured loyalty

they grew up tangled in salt and shadows—once inseparable, once invincible. there were secrets only they shared, dares only they took. kaeya trusted them with his dreams before he learned not to have any. but something broke. maybe it was ambition. maybe it was survival. now, when they meet, it’s all veiled words and blades sheathed too slowly. but gods, there’s still something there—buried under all that ruin.

the dagger in silk ⸺ political ally / mutual manipulation

they smile at each other in courts and corridors, all teeth and grace. theirs is a partnership forged in whispers, a chess game played with people’s lives. kaeya doesn't trust them—and that’s why he keeps them close. because they understand each other: pretty words, prettier lies, and the cost of power. one day, one of them will strike first. until then, they drink, dance, and scheme like old lovers.

the storm in his ribs ⸺ forbidden affection / unbearable truth

they make him feel too much—dangerously, stupidly, sincerely. they see past the smirks, the charm, the cruelty. and it terrifies him. kaeya would rather drown than be seen. but they never look away. not when he’s cruel. not when he’s kind. he pushes them away and then bleeds for their attention. maybe they were never meant to last. maybe that’s what makes it feel like love.

the brother he might have been ⸺ reluctant respect / mirrored ambition

they hate each other. or maybe they don’t. maybe they’re just too alike—two sons trying to carve names out of legacy and violence. kaeya sees himself in their defiance, in their silence. they compete, they clash, they come undone in each other’s presence. and yet, when the world turns against them, they stand back to back. not friends. not enemies. something older, sadder, sharper.

the ghost in velvet ⸺ past lover / present complication

there was a time they burned bright—reckless and golden, drunk on each other. kaeya still remembers the taste of their laughter, the bruises from their kisses. but love doesn’t last in the iron islands. not the soft kind. so he let them go. or maybe they left. now they’re back, with new titles and older eyes. every glance is a battlefield. every silence is a dare.

the sea that won’t let go ⸺ true friend / aching devotion

they know him. not the version he offers the world—but him. the tired boy, the wary smile, the rage pressed into elegance. they stay, even when he pushes. even when he lies. kaeya hates how much he needs them, how they make him want to be something softer. he never says thank you. but sometimes, when no one’s watching, he looks at them like they’re the only thing that still feels like home.

************************* Code Geass Picture Drama Turn 0.923 (Happens just before the beginning of R2 )

You can watch it here

It starts with C.C. and Kallen who are staying in a safe house as roomates and are currently laying on their beds. C.C. notices that Kallen is roaming through pictures of Lelouch, to which Kallen claims she does for surveillance purposes leading C.C. to suggest otherwise anyway, calling her a "peeping tom". C.C. decides to change the subject and asks Kallen what they are going to do for food tonight leading Kallen to wonder how C.C. can still be looking for food right now; She then mentions how the two are staying in this safe house under the guise of C.C. as a frail, older sister and Kallen as her supportive, cute, hard-working younger sister and thinks C.C. should try to act her part, to which C.C. replies that she needs nourishment in order to get better. Kallen eventually tells her to just reheat the pot and eat it. C.C. however, complains that she has to eat curry and rice again for the second day in a row. She then straightens up and asks Kallen when Urabe will arrive. Kallen knows that C.C. is not waiting for him, but for the provisions that he brings for them; C.C. mentions how the food Urabe brought the week before was a work of art and that the miso soup was handmade, but she also states that he has no sense of taste; As she mocks Kallen for her cooking, Kallen snaps back and tells her she isn't even able to make a bowl of rice; C.C. tells her that when she really wants to, she can do anything.

Kallen tells C.C. that she could then try to to clean up the room as it is filthy, but C.C. responds that she will when she becomes tired of it and ultimately pushes the blame back to Kallen who refuses to listen; After that Kallen comes to show some picture of Lelouch to C.C., noticing how he plays piano and does various things ; C.C. knows most of it and teases Kallen when she notices her reacting weirdly to that; They keep on sorting Lelouch's pictures, noticing him gambling, or commenting on Shirley self inserting when Lelouch helps Rivalz for his homsework; Kallen mentions to C.C. that she has to see Lelouch again to confirm something when they suddenly get a call from Urabe, informing her that preparations for the airship are complete; After that C.C. muses about how she’ll make Lelouch’s halted time move ahead again while Kallen on the other hand feels that Lelouch has to become Zero again, or else…

************************ Code Geass Picture Drama Turn 7.19 (Happens after Turn 7)

You can watch it here

The picture drama begins as Lelouch narrates, wondering about what shape happiness would take if it could be seen In deep thought, he remarks that a kinder, gentler world must indeed exist. He then reminisces about a happy memory from his time at Ashford Academy. Kallen shrieks in discomfort as Shirley tries to tighten an unfinished dress around Kallen's body in the student council room; as Nina and Milly comments about how ecchi this sounded, Shirley apologizes for touching Kallen; While Shirley keeps on working on the dress, Milly comments that although Shirley might not look like it, she is at least capable at sewing; Shirley is annoyed by the patronizing. Nunnally and Milly then reveal that the girls of the Student Council are preparing for the upcoming Handmade Dress Party. The dresses are handmade so the party wont become a contest of girls comparing brand-names and price tags. As they keep on talking about the party, Milly questions Kallen on who will be her escort to which Kallen replies that she has not decided yet. Shirley cautiously asks if it will be Lelouch, causing Kallen to turn flustered. The girls take her reaction as an evidence she thought about picking him, to which Kallen quickly insists that this is a misunderstanding and that arrogant guys like Lelouch are not her type. They then persist and ask whether Suzaku or Rivalz might be the one, drawing a stronger denial from Kallen. While the girls keeps on talking, Lelouch, Suzaku, and Rivalz are carrying supplies down the hall when they all mysteriously begin to sneeze in succession. Rivalz suggests that this is the kind of sneezing that people get when others are talking about them and gleefully wonders if the girls are thinking about them. Lelouch brings up the topic of the escorts and says the girls must be talking about who will be going with who to the party. He then says that he will be escorting Nunnally as he always does; When Suzaku suggests that he could escort Nunnally instead, Lelouch reacts with nervousness and apprehension; While he says he trusts Suzaku, Lelouch brings up various excuses for why he must be the one to escort Nunnally. Rivalz takes the chance to tease Lelouch about his obsessive over-protectiveness, commenting on Lelouch's "heartwarming" love for his younger sister.

Lelouch, Suzaku, and Rivalz enters the Student Council room as Milly presents an embarrassed Kallen in her new dress. The boys are stunned by the sight and begin to stare and compliment her. As a flustered Lelouch suggests that the dress indeed makes the woman, Nunnally scolds her brother, saying he shouldn't say that, even as a joke since he will be the one escorting Kallen. Lelouch is utterly shocked. Nunnally then happily reveals that she will be going with Suzaku because "she pulled his name". All the girls apparently used Nina's "3D Hyper Miracle Lottery" game to decide who their escorts would be. Shirley pulled Rivalz name, to which both react with disappointment and disgust. Upset over the results, Lelouch loudly denounces the lottery and sternly rejects the pairings. Kallen takes offence to this, asking Lelouch if she isn't good enough for him. Lelouch reluctantly tries to deny he said, that giving Nunnally the opportunity to affirm the issue is then settled, to which Lelouch reventually gives in. As the council begins to cheer for the upcoming party, Arthur, who has been strangely attracted to Kallen during the whole thing, begins to run around her feet, causing Kallen to panic, much to Shirley's distress as the dress isn't finished; As the dress fall under Kallen's very undignified shriek, the last panel shows Lelouch's blushing face over seeing *you own imagination there* Lelouch eventually narrates the present again. He remarks how, one year ago, every day was just like this childish episode. With a tinge of sadness, he closes by saying how he did not realize then how precious every little happy moment of that time would mean to him later on.

************************* Code Geass Picture Drama Turn 9.34 (Happens Between Turn 9 & 10)

You can watch it here

****************************** Code Geass Picture Drama Turn 12.36 (Happens after Turn 12)

You can watch it here

Nunnally and Schneizel take some time off after the Chinese Federation's coup d'état at a newly opened casino designed by Clovis. They have a conversation about how the casino was built as a present for the late Clovis who was a man that loved to give presents. Cecile is seen with Guilford and Kanon explaining on how the slot machine was developed in Area 11 and how to play it. Guilford is surprised by the amount of knowledge that Cecile knows in gambling and she replies that it helps with her work stress. Kanon questions if it really works and then Cecile proposes the idea of all of them gambling sometime. He appears happy about it stating that it is good to get away from all of the royalty and the Knights of the Round who he is always stuck with. Meanwhile, Suzaku is with Gino playing the slot machines when it appears that Gino won the jackpot. Gino states that he is getting bored, while Suzaku says that the slots are probably slow because its the opening day (which in fact is due to their superhuman reflexes). The conversation goes back to the other three where Guilford questions on where Anya is, with Cecile replying that she is with Nunnally. Kanon comments that they must be really good friends.

It then moves onto Anya and Nunnally who are both tasting the food at the casino. After commmenting on how wonderful the food tastes, Anya suggests she tries some other kinds to which Nunnally accepts. Lloyd appears along with Cécile, Guilford, and Kanon who comments that Anya and Nunnally must be friends now. Kanon replies that it must be because of them being close in age. However, Schneizel appears and states that it must be their souls are being drawn together. But, Lloyd comments that a soul is unscientific. As Kanon looks at Schneizel and tells he never met someone so undetached with their feelings, they both remember a time at school when Schneizel was the perfect prefet, admired by everyone, and how he always thought that he was a model leader for everyone to follow. He then comments that even though Schneizel was nice, he wasn't afraid to use a whip to enforce rules. Schneizel replies stating that he never had to use a whip after making an example out of Kanon. Gino reappears with the rest of the group and asks Schneizel to gamble with him since he bested everyone else. After asking Kanon and Lloyd on whether he should gamble, Schneizel decides to and states that he will leave Gino completely defeated.
