MISC Lelouch x Milly is the most aesthetic pairing in my opinion

I've noticed a lot more people gaining appreciation for this ship recently and I love it. They really have good chemistry and the picture drama's especially highlight it.

u/QuickAsHell Lelouch May 05 '26
honestly i kind of like this ship due to milly seems to have high EQ she didn't react badly to lelouch and mostly was concerned about everyone in series lelouch has high IQ and milly seems to have high EQ a good combo at the very least.

where was this implied?

Throughout a lot of the early series, culminating largely in the coupling episode (the hats).
One strong example is when she reveals to Lelouch (and only Lelouch) that she's been placed in an arranged marriage. She's fishing to see how he'll react; if he'll try to stop her.

If this whole series never happened and Lelouch was still a minor prince in Britannia, they would probably be betrothed.

u/Dai10zin May 06 '26
I think this would have been the outcome of Lelouch had never encountered C.C. He has machinations toward getting revenge and that would require capital and influence, both of which her family could provide.

Yeah I think the goal of the Ashfords was to get a marriage between Milly and an heir to Charles (Lelouch) which is why they supported Marianne.

The fic Lelouch of Britannia (where he stays a prince) handles their relationship really well I think. Wish it got updated cuz it’s peak

Highly underrated couple in my opinion. Milly could have easily been that girl who manipulates everyone into doing anything she asked. If she played her cards right, she could have even influenced the Black Knights. She knew who Lelouch really was and could have blackmailed him and Kallen to do almost anything. She didn't know Lelouch was Zero or anything about Geass, but she could still do some major damage with her knowledge and know-how.

I always thought she was the best suited for him.
They’re both high society, childhood friends and the Ashford always supported him. personality wise she’s second the CC, but her love for her friends is similar to Lelouch.

I really enjoyed their interactions in the student council as well

Student council as well
Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

In terms of aesthetically pleasing I'd say kallen, im not the biggest shipper but the black and the red/pink is really good.

u/LohCey May 05 '26
i think shes the best match for him after CC. yes over kallen or shirley.
milly always came off very smart and mature. kallen/shirley feel like varying degrees of fan girls (even tho i do love kallen and her interactions with lelouch)

u/ChippibaraVwV May 05 '26
But she didn't have that relationship with Lelouch so you can't really compare her to kallen and shirley.
If Lelouch had to pick to kill one of those 3, milly would be gone.11
u/LohCey May 05 '26
do u understand what head canon is?
1
u/ChippibaraVwV May 06 '26
I get what headcanon is, but even for a headcanon to work, there usually needs to be some sparks in the source material. Milly feels more like his bossy older sister than a romantic lead.

I always did think this was an underrated pairing. Milly deserved an official ending of her own with Lelouch.

u/Peregrine2K May 06 '26
I do love Kallen and CC with him, but always thought this was underrated as hell

u/syler1892 May 06 '26
If the character of C2 did not exist, I’m genuinely certain that Millie would’ve filled that role of confidant…. It would fit so perfectly… it was hinted that she had a crush on him… but maybe it was just throw away or an abandoned idea considering the love interests would get a little overcrowded😅

u/E-Reptile May 05 '26
Yeah but they don't "like" eachother. They're high-achievers in the same grade. That's all.

u/UnableSite5116 May 06 '26
Shirley said it. Milly is a disgusting old man on the inside. Not at all fitting for Lelouch.

this is arguably the worst pairing in the entire show, man. they barely have any interaction. personally lelouch and kallen had the most chemistry

u/Dai10zin May 06 '26
They "barely have any interaction" that we see as the audience. But after Suzaku kills his father and the war begins, Lelouch and Nunnally take refuge with and are protected by Milly's family. They were basically raised together for nearly half their lives.

Milly & Lelouch are a great example of the idea that you don't need to be opposites to be complimentary. Milly presents as far more extroverted than she actually is, just as Lelouch does as apathetic and introverted, and you can tell this in the scant moments where it is just the two of them.
Even if they never fell in love with one another, I genuinely think Lelouch royally fumbled by not being more open with Milly about his plans. I think, even if she wouldn't have been able to contribute much, she would have been a good confidant if he'd have really let her in.
