I read something about the original plans for Code Geass R2...

[doctorcasey.livejournal.com]

Once upon a time, I read that in the original version of R2, Shirley was supposed to live the whole way through and eventually start a relationship with Lelouch. The final episodes of the series centered around the Black Knights HeadQuarters being invaded by Britannia, so Lelouch decides to consumnate the relationship during the final moments available to him; there was a lengthy and fairly explicit sex scene planned between Lelouch and Shirley in the final episode. Suzaku breaks into the room and stabs Lelouch from behind while they're in the middle of intercourse, however, slaying his best friend during his happiest moments (Shirley breaks down in tears afterwards, a role that was recycled with Nunnally in the officially-aired R2).

Does anyone know if what I read is true? I love R2 the way it is, but I have to admit this would have been an interesting ending and I'd have liked to see the fandom's response to it.

Or OP is trolling, but amusingly so.
And...wouldn't Suzaku stab Shirley also?

Indeed, but specifically in this case, if Suzaku stabs Lelouch while Lelouch is fucking Shirley (assuming Lelouch is on top and they're in the missionary position or something like it), how does he know exactly when to stop the blade so it doesn't pierce Shirley as well?

Suzaku stopped The Black rebellion. The end. I love it!

foursome???

Indeed.
And now I'm thinking of it as the Bad End for the Shirley Path in an eroge where Lelouch is the main character.

And suddenly CGR2 is the Rolo Route of ever CG video game: WORST END.
