A couple of Code Geass AU fanfics. Same premise, hell, quite a common premise...but they take the idea in very different directions. An unwilling Lelouch gets discovered by Clovis, and is forced by the Emperor to serve in the Britannian military. Both are ongoing and have recent updates.
Dauntless by Allora Gale is the better story. Tightly plotted and very convincing, much more serious in tone. Delves a lot into political and court intrigue. The author is excellent at creating an atmosphere of fear and paranoia.
Lelouch of the Revolution by Lilyflower1987 is...not so polished, the kind of writing badly in need of proofreading. I mean, it'd pass spell-check, but some of those words are spelt right but still the wrong words. If you can't stand that kinda thing, give this a miss. But I'm recommending it all the same because...although this is amateurish, it has interesting ideas and is kinda fun. It's got heart.
