Oh My God. I have just read this entire fic in one sitting, and in retrospect, maybe I shouldn't have because I am by this point in a daze, completely blindsided by the sheer brilliance of your writing. I would say that it seems pointless for me to write anything now that such mastery lives, but that would be an insult to the master, since what I really should be doing is seeking to improve my writing in hopes of someday achieving this level and magnitude of literary wonder; after all, imitation is the highest form of flattery.
This was so beautifully done - the narrative, the allegories and symbolism, everything. I wish I could tell you in more detail or specifics what I loved so much about it, but my now numb mind is not cooperating, and I couldn't possibly grasp all the wonders of all five chapters to tell you in this moment anyway.
If I never read another Geass fic again as long as I live (which is a likely possibility, since I'm not exactly even in the fandom), I am now satisfied that I've read what is quite possibly, if not certainly, the best it has to offer. And even that seems to understate it; I have not felt so unreservedly positively about a work of fiction in a LONG time, if ever.
Just about the only helpful thing I can suggest is that you edit all five parts for typos and errors, which I found a rather large number of. Although the fic itself was too amazing for it to actually be much of a problem, I think it's something I ought to let you know.
Nevertheless, absolutely fantastic, and thank you for sharing. Now please write (and publish) a book and spare our generation from the likes of Twilight, I beg you.
