This pairing is utterly adorable and was my first ship for this series before SuzaLulu ran off with the OTP flag.
I like the way that Euphie stands up for Suzaku when he can't/won't do so for himself (And it's sort of a running them with those two: Euphie always has faith in Suzaku and is forever pushing him to have more faith in himself), while Suzaku provides a tangible and physical way for Euphie to act on her own wishes.
In this way there are very close parallels to SuzaLulu, imo. Lelouch stands up for an unwilling Suzaku; Suzaku presents an option to make Lelouch's goals easier to reach (Geass aside). The major difference is that Euphie offers Suzaku the support and affirmation he desperately needs without all the tsundere criticism he gets from Lelouch -- which makes his relationship with her much healthier, and all the more painful a loss.
To me that's part of what makes the SAZ so incredibly tragic, even beyond the massacre; one really gets the impression that Euphie could have helped both Suzaku and Lelouch reconcile with each other and heal their old wounds, and working together the three of them could have accomplished a lot.
I could go on forever about these three. Absolute favorite trio of the series ♥
