WWCT-1.01: On Wings of Angels

This is an AU fanfiction in two parts. This is part one, "Raise the Bloodied Banner"; the second part will be published separately as "The Flight of the Eagle". Don't expect fast updates, as this is a secondary FF to The First Servant.

The premise: It is the year 1792. Lelouch and Nunnally Lamperouge, runaway children of a Spanish noble, and Venetian courtesan Cecilia Cuzzoni get entangled in the terrors of the French Revolution.

Warning ahead: In this fic, three interconnected plotlines will collide. The chapters will each be told from the Point of View of one of the (now) three main characters, in the following order: Lelouch - Cecilia / C.C. - Nunnally. Cecilia will be introduced only later, though.

Disclaimer: Code Geass is not mine. I have taken loose inspiration from The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas and War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy, and the historical figure of Agustina of Aragon. Historical characters will appear in loads, with a focus on Napoleon Bonaparte and Sir Arthur Wellesley in the second part.

Main Pairings: Lelouch x C.C. x Mao

Main Characters: Lelouch, Nunnally, C.C. ("Cecilia Cuzzoni")

Bibliography: The research for this fanfiction will be thorough and far-reaching. For now, the main sources are Wikipedia, Stanford University's ORBIS for an approximation of travel times, Lord Norwich's A History of Venice, Volker Hunecke's Napoleon - Das Scheitern eines guten Diktators and some books about the French Revolution I couldn't be bothered to remember.

Reviews are appreciated and will be responded to. I prefer a well-written review to a dozen faves.
