Wow. I can't say I get the full meaning of this, but it was brilliant none-the-less.

I have no idea what this story is about, I was confused the whole time reading it. I thought, at first, that the characters mention were stand ins for the Code Geass characters only to be proven wrong as I continued to read.

I have no idea how the characters of King Arthur( I really don't know their tales though.) and the characters of Code Geass connect. But when I got to the end of this story, confused as I was, I felt satisfied. I felt like I loved the story, and even know I know I know nothing I feel like I understand it. (And yet I am confused.)

You're good.

beautifully written. wonderful premise.

I'm speechless. I don't know where to begin. I"m so speechless I don't even know what to say that's GOOD.

I admit, when I started reading this, I found it pretentious. Only because I couldn't understand all the references because I never did get around to reading King Arthur. I skimmed through the fic and thought to myself, "I'll come back later" when I hit the end, and all of a sudden I went: that's brilliant.

I'm just stumped by the amazing creativity you've shown in this story. I know that it would hold a lot more meaning to me if I knew the references, but I'll eventually get around to reading those and I'll get back to this fic. Once I understood that this was talking about refrain, though, man, it was the most wonderful experience reading what happened, backwards. This is possibly one of the most powerful fanfictions I've ever read, and the style in this seems to be quite a bit beyond the level of FFN. Wonderful work! I'm adding this to my favorites and will pimp it on my LJ.

...

wow.

This is...

This is LITERATURE.

You've actually brought tears to my eyes.

Well, you can call "Juniper" pretentious if you like, but I love it anyway! Of course, I have a terrible pretentious streak myself, so I'm not necessarily to be trusted.

I will say that I prefer "The Fool Ascendant" to "Juniper." This is simply because "The Fool Ascendant" had a clearer connection to the characters. Sometimes in "Juniper" it felt like I was reading a King Arthur fic rather than a Code Geass fic, which would be great if I knew anything about King Arthur (I don't). Overall none of this matters, though, simply because your writing by itself is such a delight. For instance:

"He'd press a bow to his violin and make silences, and his neighbors would lose their smiles when he pulled the notes from the air but they wouldn't know who was responsible. Sometimes he sat and held a pen against a piece of paper, but nothing was written and nothing was erased."

I had a little trouble knowing who "he" was at first, but like I said it doesn't matter, because "he" could be anyone and your words about him would still be beautiful.

I also really adored the reference to Refrain toward the end. When it suddenly hit me what was going on, why Lelouch felt himself going backwards in time, I felt, well, so sad...it was great! I can't wait for your next fic :)

I've got one thing to say... that was such a cool fic! I really loved the part about Lelouch and Marianne! This will definitely go to my fave. stories! Keep writing!
