Neon Genesis Evangelion fan fiction can be very very tricky. Â After all, NGE isn’t a “feel good” TV show (& Movies). Â Often, it simply follows the old Ortho commercial, Â “Everyone Dies…”.
Well, what about changing the fundamental equation? Â NGE: Nobody Dies has quite a bit of good humor, and does they by postulating that Yui (Shinji’s Mother) wasn’t “killed” during the first Startup of Unit 1. Â Thus, she raises Rei instead of Gendo, and boy are there some significant differences in personality.
And the writing & humor are remarkable for a NGE fanfiction…
It is not every day an aircraft carrier comes into port at Tokyo-3. Especially an aircraft carrier with a kneeling Evangelion on the flight deck. The armor is somewhat red, due to rust from the salt water from the remaining day of the journey, in addition to heat from the Angel’s explosion. From a certain point of view, Unit 01 seems to be sleeping, or contemplating. Both would be true, but would require a far longer explanation of the actual true nature of Evangelion 01 than is permitted at this time. Instead, the people who are in the actual know are silent, and watching.
“This will take a bit of explanation,” Kozou Fuyutsuki says, hand over his eyes as the Over the Rainbow docks on the port side, a stairwell driving up to the side exit. The two are waiting, leaning on a black stretch limo as container trucks and dock workers clear the area for the coming entourage.
“Which part?” Gendo Ikari asks, hands in his pockets, “Unit 01 creating a wormhole? Shinji managing a triple digit synch score apparently thanks to a wash out from the Eva program being in the Plug with him? Or Unit 01 going, as Katsuragi put it, “Voltron on the Angel’s ass?”
“Kihl will have a field day.”
I am only up to Chapter 6, so there’s plenty of room for a self-destruct… Â But so far NGE: Nobody Dies, is a good recommendation for reading. Â If anything, just for the alternative look at the characters…
