Line 3:
1,200 years after the end of Britannia's Golden Age, history and archeology student Phoenix Zero studies abroad in Eastern America, exploring the long-lost Royal Britannian Cemetery. What he uncovers is only the beginning of the adventure.
'''''From the Ashes''''' is a ''[[Code Geass]]'' [[Next Gen Fic]] by [https://www.fanfiction.net/u/737643/Tobi-Tortue Tobi Tortue] set long after the events of the series. While yet unfinished, the story is rather notable for both remaining faithful to the source material despite the significant [[Time Skip]] as well as putting an interesting spin on seeing the aftermath of Zero Requiem and the events of the show in general. Not to mention how despite the seeming mundanity, all is not what it seems.
Not to be mistaken for the ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' fic also titled ''[[From the Ashes (fanfic)|From the Ashes]].''
{{tropelist}}
* [[And I Must Scream]]: {{spoiler|Lelouch has apparently been trapped in his hidden tomb ever since his "death," completely conscious. At least until Phoenix stumbles upon said tomb.}}
* [[Alternate Calendar]]: The fic is set in 1529 A.W.E. {{spoiler|Which is revealed to be dated from Lelouch's "death."}}
* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]:
* [[Distant Finale]]: Of sorts, given how it takes place over a thousand years into the future.
* [[Earth That Used to Be Better]]: Apparently, Earth is largely the domain of researchers and archeologists by the time the fic takes place.
* [[Eternal English]]: Downplayed, but it seems like the people of the future have little trouble understanding Britannian English.
* [[Fan of the Past]]: Phoenix, who's an amateur historian and student-archeologist with a fascination for the old days of Britannia.
* [[Free-Love Future]]: Kind of. Pheonix's friends and peers are rather open with their sexuality, though Pheonix himself is more focused on his work than anything else.
* [[Future Imperfect]]: Subverted. The age of the long-gone Holy Britannian Empire hasn't been forgotten, with much in the way of surviving historical records. On the other hand, enough time has passed that people still resort to archeology and plain guesswork to fill in the blanks, such as figuring out Zero's true identity. Most people also tend to view those days the same way one would imagine the medieval period, with its knights and princesses.
* [[Genre Shift]]: The story seemingly starts out as a [[Slice of Life]] tale of archeology. That changes ''very'' quickly by the end of the first chapter {{spoiler|when Phoenix sees a mysterious person implied to be Lelouch}}.
* [[Historical Villain Upgrade]]: In-verse, Lelouch is still remembered by the people of the future as the "Demon" Emperor. {{spoiler|But when Phoenix discovers him in the flesh, he finds that the dreaded "Demon" looks much less impressive.}}
* [[Just Think of the Potential]]: ''Phoenix'' of all people tries to justify using {{spoiler|the unsealed and very much alive Lelouch}} as the key to unlocking the mysteries of the past.
* [[Legendary in the Sequel]]:
** Zero is very much a nigh-revered legend to the people of the future. So much so that there are still movies made about his exploits and the times he lived in, albeit more romanticized and dramatized. Phoenix's family is even said to be descended from Zero {{spoiler|which may have more than a grain of truth}}.
