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.

This would have been far better than the actual ending, with the additional benefit of making all the yaoi fangirls' heads explode in the messiest manner possible. Oh, what could have been.

Too bad this "alternate" ending reads like a very bad fanfic. js.

And what about the Lelouch/Kallen and Lelouch/CC fangirls, huh? Their heads would've exploded, too.

I ship Lelouch/all females in Code Geass not related to him, so I'm content no matter what happens. The loss of the Lelouch/C.C. and Lelouch/Kallen fangirls, while regrettable, is acceptable collateral damage.
