This is just an opinion of mine. In Code Geass R2, Lelouch's focus was his relationship with Shirley as far as the Ashford scenes were concerned. I agree that his interactions with Milly was almost non-existant. Why was that? It might have been the result of a creative descision restricting the use of Milly's interactions with Lelouch because she might have taken too much attention away from Shirley. This is why there is rarely anything related to Milly Ashford, as far as figurines and fan services are concerned. The focus was geared towards Shirley because the producers were trying to recreate the Suzaku x Euphemia tragedy of Season One by building up the characters for a very big fall over the cliff. For example, in Turn 12: Love Attack, why did Lelouch asked Villetta to take his hat instead of Milly if he wanted to avoid Shirley? That did not make any sense to me at all. In addition, why did Lelouch agreed to go on those scheduled dates with the 108 girls at Ashford Academy that Sayoko arranged(as Lelouch's double in disquise) when he should have cancelled all of them? Why was it clearly obvious that Milly never interacted with Lelouch directly in a private setting? And why didn't we see a plot twist involving Milly x Lelouch? It seemed that the entire episode was about getting Shirley x Lelouch together. The separation of Milly x Lelouch was intentional to give Shirley the opportunity to be with Lelouch. At the end of the episode, Shirley's memories were suddenly restored to where it was before Lelouch geassed her in Season One. And those emotions foretold an unhappy ending, as well as the beginning of the end for Lelouch's stay at Ashford Academy. |

I don't agree that Milly didn't love Lelouch for the person he was - at the end of 0.911, she comments on Lelouch's "annoying pompous attitude" and kindness towards his sister that haven't changed at all. Shen then continues with, "Which is why..." but then breaks off and says that she noticed him blushing when he thanked her.

My belief with Milly's feelings was more that she did love Lelouch for who he was, but that she knew that both their respective circumstances prevented any chance of them getting together. This was partly why she seemed to try to set Lelouch and Shirley up together as it was a sort attempt to move past Lelouch, as seeing him happy with another girl would allow her to move on herself, in addition to her general concerns for the two of them as friends and desire to see others happy. Further this lead me to believe that her occasional teasing of Shirley was partly a subconcious act of jealousy. |

I wonder if Cecile ever got the chance to comfort Suzaku after the death of Euphemia? Perhaps not, since he was promoted to the Knight of the Rounds and never went back to Lloyd's Research & Development Division of the Britannian Army. The respected loss of Euphemia and Shirley, as well as the absense of emotional comfort by(Milly x Lelouch) and (Cecile x Suzaku) might have made Lelouch x Suzaku commit to the Zero Requiem as an attonement towards fullfilling their respected love partner's dream of creating a better world for everyone.

I don't know, Lloyd seemed a lot like an aromantic asexual to me (wasn't there even a scene where it was said that he wasn't attracted to the opposite sex?), though it would certainly be fun seeing him with Cecile or Milly.

As for her overall mindset, I think this was effectively implied by Nina's outburst in China and Milly's subsequent self-evaluation. Nina accused Milly of being one of the many "fake" people in the world (i.e. everyone who wasn't Euphemia) and that she always hid behind her status as an Ashford. Milly then reevaluated herself and began "living for herself as herself" by cancelling her engagement to Lloyd and becoming a newscaster. Had the novel's idea been accurate, Milly would likely have countered Nina's accusations by explaining herself as above and that her being with Lloyd was her denying herself the chance to be with the person she really loved and was basically her paying a debt she beleived she had been incurring since her birth. At the very least I have to think she would have gone about things differently afterwards. They could always play Hide the Pudding: Extra Saucy Edition or make giant pudding or flan constructs at Ashford. |

Tohdoh's Zangetsu could be used, just to have an opportunity for hair pulli- oh God, what have I become?! ... To try and salvage some seriousness, I think that if Milly had gotten more development in R2 it would have been in regards to her engagement and more as a means of further devloping Lloyd and Cecile as characters, as opposed to it being with Lelouch. |

The one moment that I would have love to have seen was Milly figuring out that Lelouch was Zero in Code Geass R2, Turn 12. I wanted see Lelouch's reaction towards Milly's revelation of that fact. How would Lelouch had handled that situation? To geass or not to geass Milly to protect his secret. That is the question.

Besides the necro of this thread (Which I don't approve, but it's not that much of a necro as it's 1 month)
I laughed my ass off because of the thread title, when I read the opening post, the creator was already banned. I mean, how do you pull that off? That's like shooting yourself in the face with a spraycan! Anyways I am pro LelouchxC.C. However, I respect every other person's view on the matter, as I am not that hardcore in what I believe and have no intention of insulting anyone.

You sir/madam are aparently in the majority of Code Geass fans with the Lelouch x CC pairing.
I'm a Lelouch x Harem, in case you're wondering (although I think that Shirlulu is the most logical since they're both dead, C's World/Heaven together). Nevertheless, I'll not poop on anyone's parade. You like Lelouch x CC, then more power too yah! |

^ Actually, the most popular would be Suzaku x Lelouch. Which is kind of odd actually, because the gay pairing is normally popular, sure, but there's more Suzaku x Lelouch stuff than L x K and L x C.C. combined.
Though they were pretty gay for each other. Anyone else notice that every other time Lelouch is on the computer he's googling Suzaku? That's pretty damn shippy. Quote:

I stand corrected!
Suzaku x Lelouch is probably the MOST popular. I was thinking in terms of NewType Romance's 2009 "Most popular pairings of the Decade" in which Lelouch x CC made the top 5 (I can't remember whether it was them or Kira Yamato x Lacus Klein that was number 1). |

With anything like this, I think it depends where you look. I was thinking in terms of fanfiction/art and online communities etc., of which there's loads.
But, I guess if you were to go with the more casual fans like that, it'd be probably be C.C. or Kallen ; ) So in a way we're both right. |
