or: Three Pilots and a Horaki
or: The German, Her Wife, Their Househusband and His Alien.
The world is recovering from the Third Impact. Asuka, Hikari, Shinji and Rei are living together. They aren't always very good at it.
It's not Rei's fault. Except the penguins.
Shinji Ikari thought being conscripted to pilot an Evangelion was a tough assignment. Wait'll he finds himself recruited to spy on NERV, and expose the deadly secrets it holds...Welcome to CONTROL, Shinji, aka the new Agent-86--hope you don't miss it by that much!
For at the center of all things lies the soul.
This truth has shaped the world that was shattered by a Second Impact, whether it is known or not. Even still, such a truth cannot fully heal the wounds of the heart and mind caused in its wake.
But when a single man, forged by worlds uncounted, enters the lives of two Children with such wounds deep within them, what comes next will change the fate of not only Tokyo-3, but those that seek to save, dominate, or plunder the world. And all things...
Asuka, Shinji and Rei deal with their individual and collective traumas together, with a little help from their friends. For better and worse. Til death do us (not) part.
Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of NERV? When Gendo Ikari summons his son to Tokyo-3, he and his so-called 'masters' will learn the hard way that the weed of crime against humanity...bears bitter fruit.
