“A long time ago, Nunally, Suzaku, and I talked about something. We wondered what happiness would look like if we could give it a physical form. If I'm not mistaken, I think it was Suzaku that said that the shape of happiness might resemble glass. His reasoning made sense. He said that even though you don't usually notice it, it's still definitely there. You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light. I doubt that anything else could argue its own existence more eloquently.”

AW C'MON!!!:facehoof:
you really going to start at season 1?:rainbowhuh:
not cool bruh....... not......cool.....:moustache:

i wanna see glimmy and lelouch battle it out for supremacy!:trollestia:

Lol, I think it's a good place to start in my opinion at least.

Of course, Lelouch must prove his mettle by curb stomping other ponies in chess.

OK THIS IS AWESOME! :rainbowdetermined2: You did an amazing job capturing Lelouch's dialogue style (logical but not totally devoid of emotion) and I can't wait to see more. :pinkiehappy:

Thank you, I was worried about that. I could feel that the more I delved into the pony universe, the less like Lelouch it seemed.

9207309
I understand but don't worry you're doing great I mean the way he played possum in the hospital to analyze the situation, how he compared his new body to a real horse to figure out how to move, how he is able to figure out large parts of a ponies personality based on simple context clues (like he did with Rainbow Dash), and just how he is thinking about every possibility in order to formulate various plans depending on what events come to pass is just pure Lelouch

Lelouch vi Britannia commands you...

"DANCE."

Code Geass is one of my all-time favourite animes and one that I've watched multiple times in Japanese and English. So I'm super excited to see a story like this!

Considering his distaste for Britannia though, I'm surprised Lelouch chose to keep his surname. Despite all the grief he had as Lamperouge, he did make some powerful friendships and good memories when he was posing as a random Britannian.

Also, was the Geass symbol above meant to convey that Lelouch used his Absolute Command on Redheart? Wasn't too sure about that...

On that note! He's got his perfect Sharinga Geass now! (maybe.) That'll definitely be a game-changer. Hopefully he'll be very careful in what he says though just in case it isn't so controllable.

As soon as I saw the word 'Dance', I immediately thought of this meme:

I hope you will keep the authors notes in this chapter in consideration so as to finish this story and not be part of the XXXXX million fanfics that are not finished.

P.S. Awesome start can't wait to read more :yay:

Lol. Nice to see that Lelouch's lack of stamina carried over to his new body (It's always humorous to see this guy who brought entire nations to their knees be brought to his own by a brisk jog) Also the way he verbally defeated Rainbow Dash was not only very satisfying but also kind of deserving on her part (especially at this point in the series before the events of "Mysterious Mare Do Well" when her ego is at an all time high and her tact is at an all time low)
Curios to see what he'll think about the prophesy of Nightmare Moon (or Knightmare Moon lol) and eagerly awaiting the next chapter. Keep up the great work.

Also just out of curiosity since you haven't mentioned it yet. What is Lelouch's cutie mark? (I understand if you don't want to say because it is in fact a plot point later but I just figured I'd ask)

I greatly approve of this, needs more wing-boners.

9241881
I'd forgotten about Lelouch's Cutie Mark. Anyway, I might save bringing it up for the Cutie Mark Crusaders to ask about.

Spoiler Alert: It's the Geass Symbol

Huh. Lelouch seems remarkably well put-together, considering it's only been a day or so since he died from his perspective. Then again, he did die in Code Geass Universe with a more-or-less 'Mission Accomplished' feeling, but he still seems a bit too cavalier (in attitude and regards to potential future Geass use).

Maybe the breakdown will occur when he finally gets info on his surroundings and really thinks about what he wants to do with his life now that he doesn't have Britannia's shadow over him.

9241881
Well aren't all cutiemarks "plot" points.
:facehoof:

Ahh the puns. They hurt so good :pinkiecrazy:

Welcome back to writing my friend,

Stay strong and write well.
~ Yr. Pal, B.

I feel bad posting anything like this because I know you have other stories going and of course your own life to live, but I just wanted to let you know that I and many others are still eagerly awaiting for the next chapter in this (no pressure to write it before you're ready mind you, however long it takes I shall wait because I know it will be worth it. (also here is some fitting fan art given that the last chapter had Lelouch defending Fluttershy, even though this pony Lelouch doesn't look how you described him)

images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/intermediary/f/eb866420-3577-4a62-8945-46bd06022a32/d4xouxo-f99b1d0e-c834-4d05-8f85-dae1c5313ff0.png/v1/fill/w_900,h_657,q_80,strp/i_will_protect_you__by_zipomon_d4xouxo-fullview.jpg

This was well worth the wait as once again you have captured Lelouch's thought process perfectly. I especially like the change that thanks to Lelouch's intellectual assistant Twilight has opened up to friendship a little earlier than normal, which should make retrieving the elements go a little smoother.... unless Nightmare Moons test for Lelocouch gets in the way. Regardless loved the chapter and happy to patiently wait for the next chapter as long as it remains as high quality as this

Well then... looks like I didn't have to wait long for the next chapter anyway. Very good chapter as always (really loving Lelouch's side notes about the situations, it's little touches like that which really make a story pop) and can't wait for the confrontation with Nightmare Moon in the next chapter (and since it looks like you wrote more than one chapter during your break, I hopefully won't have too :twilightblush:.... but of course I will if I need too:scootangel:)

Hopefully this time around, Lelouch can learn to rely on his friends more.

A serial overthinker. Useful for trying to take over the world, not so much for trying to save it.

A lesson that Lelouch has learned the hard way.

Twilight pulled the book out. It was red with a golden inlay. The image of a unicorn's head printed on the cover surrounded by a ring of six diamond shapes."

Does this need to be three separate sentences? It feels like it would flow better if it were all in one sentence, even if it's meant to convey Lulu's thought process.

Overall, this chapter reads like a re-hash of canon with an extra pony offering snarky comments every now and then to remind the audience that there's someone else there. Hopefully there will be something different in the upcoming NM confrontation and beyond that.

Twilight was unphazed by the light show.

Should be spelled as 'unfazed'.

Twilight going to sar as to clop a hoof on the ground, like a charging bull.

Did you mean to write: 'going so far', instead?

However, if Equestria turned out to be like Britannia, I'm sure a little digging would uncover an underground movement or two that would just love to see Celestia and her ilk overthrown.'

Really hoping you're wrong there, Lulu. Celestia-bashing (or really any kind of character bashing) stories aren't very enjoyable to read.

The ending of this chapter was interesting though as it seems to imply that Lulu isn't the first Geass user to visit the MLP world. Perhaps an older villain like Sombra?

9638695
Sees this reply "LOL, guess that means I have to wait then"

Sees that another new chapter has been added

OMG! I know Lelouch would use Geass to make Nightmare Moon stand still for the Elements of Harmony!
Also Celestia apparently knows about Geass... this doesn't particular bode well for Lelouch (or maybe it does, either way can't wait to find out)

I can't believe It's not dead.

THREE CHAPTERS IN ONE DAY!?:pinkiegasp: I almost did a spit-take when I saw that in my feed.

So Celestia seems to know about Geass. Let's see if she decides to interrogate Lelouch immediately or continue their "chess" battle for the foreseeable future.

Also, can we get a hint as to when everyone is going to learn Lelouch's full history? I'm curious to see if any of the girls will absolutely despise him when they hear everything he's done. I wonder what will shock them more. The SAZ Massacre or the fact that he conquered the entire world before he turned 20 years old.

It's ALIVE!!!!! This is a great story from you. Looking forward for the next chapter.

YESSSS, AN UPDATE!!!:pinkiehappy:
This is a great chapter, look forward for the next one.:twilightsmile:

Great chapter as always, I LOVE that Lelouch is now literally getting paid to do what he always does, that being analyzing a situation and providing those around him with details and advice that seem simple but will help them get through the situation and learn something in the end. Also him still having a bit of a hold on Dash is great (as I said she's not exactly the most humble pony in season 1, in fact if I'm being honest I didn't really like her when I first started watching the show, and she needs someone like Lelouch to put her in her place and get us to a more humble Dash sooner)

Can't wait to see what happens next :pinkiehappy: (also Lelouch at the Gala in his Zero suit shall be GLORIOUS!)

Eh, I skimmed a lot of this chapter as it just seemed to be a repeat of the episode with the occasional quip from Lelouch as canon played out.

OK, I'm afraid I'm going to have to agreed with Maelaeran, this chapter is nothing more than a rehash of the original episode with Lelouch. If this is how this whole story is going to go down. than I see no point in continue reading this. Mostly because I was expecting something more similar to Code Geass, especially if it's a chess game battle of wits, that Lelouch is best at doing.

Its nothing personal I just don't get that feeling from this story. I think it needs to divert from the show more.

9882964
Oh, it'll divert. This is just what you'd call the calm before the storm.

9887267
Oh, yeah? Well, I'll believe it when it actually happens. I get you're trying to go easy at first before you rise the bar bit by bit. I just hope doesn't take too long and doesn't become underwhelming.

Because I'm reading this because it's a Code Geass crossover fanfic and there's not too many of those on here. And most of which have been left on hiatus for years on end.

I guess what I'm trying to say is make it more interesting. Everyone have already seen the show do something more unexpected. Because the last thing we need it is a minor rehash of the show.

Maybe it would been more interesting if C.C. was with Lelouch.

So wan is the next chapter coming out
