He hated it for killing their Mother, hated it for the way it, and his Father, treated Nunnally after her injuries. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;The only time the hate seemed to go away was when it was just the three of them, like it had been seven years ago. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;That was the only time that Lelouch didn’t seem to be hiding from the world.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Suzaku hadn’t really noticed that until the maid, Sayoko, had approached him one night on his way out while Lelouch was still choking and Nunnally still laughing in the background at his parting shot, and thanked him for making the two of them smile. She told him that the both of them had always seemed rather sad, no matter how often they smiled for each other or their friends.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Then he came and they both opened up, their smiles seemed less fake, and it seemed as if they both regained some small hope for the future.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Suzaku had made sure to make even more time for the two of them after that.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The idea that he would be someone so important to Nunnally and Lelouch was something that broke his heart.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;He would protect the two of them with his life, even if it meant protecting the two of them from their own loneliness.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;He finally started to pay attention, and noticed that in a way Sayoko was right.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Lelouch was his best friend and Nunnally was an innocent and was Lelouch's life.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;And all they truly had was each other.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;There was no way he was worthy enough to be the rock that two such beautiful and broken people relied on for some sense of happiness, of safety.

I, it was that night that he… That night that he died. The fighting that broke out was fierce. I was taken with a group heading for Kyoto and I had no idea what happened to Lelouch or Nunnally until a few days later when someone told me they had died in the fighting.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;“Yet you say they survived.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;“I did. They did.” He had to do this without mention Shinjuku. He had to be careful, like him, they would probably jump to the wrong conclusions. Wrong for now, anyway.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;“When Princess Euphemia ordered me to go to Ashford Academy, I… I walked into that classroom and there he was. I knew it was him but I didn’t say anything, it was almost like he didn’t even recognize me. Then he gave me a signal from the sign language he had made up and taught me when we were children. ‘Meet on the roof.’ He confirmed everything, they had managed to escape after a bomb hit near where they had been, had kept on the move until Lelouch managed to create new identities for them, Lelouch and Nunnally Lamperouge. They made it to Lord Ashford who was an ally of their mothers. And after classes, when he took me to see Nunnally, it was them…”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;He couldn’t stop the tears as he thought about the ones Nunnally had shed when he had first seen her again, the genuine smile on Lelouch’s face… &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;“Why haven’t you said anything before now? WHY HAVEN’T THEY?” This time the fist buried in the collar of his shirt was Cornelia’s, and there was an almost mad glint in her eyes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;“Nunnally, she still has nightmares of the night when their Mother,” Cornelia’s eyes went from shards of ice to balls of fire necessitating in a swift change of direction “and is terrified of something like that happening again. Lelouch doesn’t want Nunnally to be seen as an easy target for terrorists because of her legs and sight, he can’t stand the thought of going back to the way he says it was after she was first injured, with everyone at the court hating her for supposedly being weak, and is utterly against her being used as a pawn. And, I, I didn’t say anything because Lelouch is my friend, so is Nunnally, I just wanted them to be happy.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;The hand released them and he fell to his knees once more. “Then why are you betraying their trust now, Kururugi?

Not even a week ago some mad man decided that Lelouch’s intellect made a fun target to terrorize and kidnapped Nunnally… He said it was random, but that man used a bomb, big enough to take out the entire area. Lelouch knew how to disarm it, but couldn’t manage to. If I hadn’t been there, and Lelouch hadn’t been able to distract him long enough for me to do it… It would have been horrible. That freak… He managed to slip out and he was so obsessed with Lelouch that I know he’ll be coming back.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;“If that was all-”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;“No, I’m also worried about them because they attend Ashford Academy, and not just now because of me, but because a good number of children with influential parents are there it’s a target. I’m worried because Lelouch is getting desperate the tighter the regulations are getting, and I’ve been able to find out some of the things he has had to do to get them even as safe as they are now and am terrified of what else he would do to see Nunnally safe. I don’t want Lelouch to do something stupid because he wants the world to change so that it is safe for Nunnally, and with the threat of the terrorists using them and the fact that he was accidently caught up near Shinjuku and would have been killed if Prince Clovis’s attack had continued I-“&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;“Enough, Suzaku.” He flung his head up, not minding the tears that fell down his cheeks until Euphemia knelt at his side and gently wiped them away. “Enough.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;“But…”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;“No, I know why you’ve been quiet about them, Suzaku.

Given the fact that he was sure there were clear tear tracks covering his cheeks and that his eyes had to be horribly red, he doubted he succeeded by the time that all the other royal retainers rushed back into the room.

I'll try to update regularly. About the crossover thing--if you can pull it off, you can pull it off--I think I pulled it off. Let me know. Also, do you know anywhere else I could post this? It's kind of hard posting something where the pairings are mostly crossover.</content>

    <content type="html">It is finally completed, the fourth story in my Series of unlikely events bundle. This one took the longest, started writing it in April of this year but after finding a large mistake I had to rewrite it and only recently have I found the inspiration to finish it. enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm only going to post up the link to the fanfiction.net version since I'm too lazy to change the look because LJ removes those options when I copy pasta, it is also (I think) the longest chapter story I ever wrote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Summary:&lt;br /&gt;Set in R2, Lelouch has his memories rewriten but has dreams of someone making love to him at night. He becomes paranoid and when Suzaku returns to Ashford things get out of hand.&lt;br /&gt;Pairing: Suza / lulu and hint on Rolo / Lulu&lt;br /&gt;Cathegory: Romance, angst and tragedy.&lt;br /&gt;Warnings: ofc yaoi, character death also&lt;br /&gt;status: complete with bonus chapters at the end as always&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4117561/4/"&gt;http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4117561/4/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy reading and please review =3 I'm sure you'll like it</content>

He spends the first few nights calling after forgotten names in his sleep, feverishly shifting in his bed. Rolo sets a glass of water on the bedside table and watches as the 11th prince of Britannia suffer through familiar nightmares. He wonders if this is really Zero, because a boy who unknowingly cries in his sleep for his sister, his mother, and the friend that betrayed him seems too vulnerable.&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;</content>

He’s too consumed with outrunning the guards in the hallway to notice her presence. Moments later, the boy spots her and falls on the ground, a series of incoherent babbles coming out of his mouth&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so... someone should definately make a tag for Knight of the Rounds fics.</content>

No warnings, unless you haven't seen at least half of season one. And even then, they are not really important spoilers. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Author's Notes:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt; I've taken some small liberties on Milly and Lulu, mostly because I was having trouble setting a background for the story. And in an introspective story at that. I also tried a joke, since we can't have them interacting in a completely serious environment.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;One cannot always be what is expected of them. She never acted as was expected but she always played the part they expected of her. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href="http://vicks111.livejournal.com/7715.html"&gt;Follow the link...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;This is the last cross-post, I promise.
