There is no "Crying" reaction, so have a like instead, Stryp.

Trust in Strype. He has a plan. (Not a Scenario)

There are (not) many copies (anymore), though....

Cue Kaworu walking towards the arcade with a bag of 500 yen coins the size of his head.

"...Kaworu, I thought you only wanted one. Can you even afford to feed all those Chibi-Rei?"
"I can't help it! I got one... and then the others inside the machine just kept staring at me, with those beautiful, lonely, imploring eyes! I-- I gotta get 'em all!"
(long pause)
"Anta Baka?"
"Run down to the bank and empty both our accounts in 500-yen coins, right."
"No, just mine. We'll need yours to feed our new... family."

Strypgia said:

...yeah, I got nothing.

No, wait, I do have something. Something that will definitely not happen.

Asuka: "Shinji. I'm pregnant."
Shinji:

Asuka: "It's Rei."
Shinji: "...wait, what? Rei got you--"

Asuka: "I said Rei, not Rei's, baka!"
Shinji: "...how...."
Kaworu: "This is my fault, I'm afraid."
Shinji:

Asuka: "Not like that!"

"It was his idea, and he provided the... means... but Akagi figured out the AT Field bullshit hax to make it work."
Shinji: :???:

Asuka: "Okay, remember how it turned out that your arschloch vater had lots of Rei clones, and Akagi kept copying her mind and soul into new ones every time she died? But then those SEELE bastards wiped out all the backups?"
Shinji: "yyyyessss....?"
Asuka: "Well, Akagi still had backups of most of Rei's 'braintapes.' Karoru could untangle Rei's soul from inside Lilith, and they could replicate the original process for creating Rei's body from the tissue samples in storage. They just needed a... compatible host. Mentally and spiritually compatible, not just biological, because that was the only way to fit our Rei into the new... fetus. Without AT-Field rejection issues, mental contamination, unaccountable hormonal urges to destroy the entire planet, you know. The usual."
Shinji: :jackiechan:

Kaworu: "I was willing to undergo gender reassignment and do it myself (using AT-Field hax at the cellular level), but... the Adamite/Lilim issues were just too risky."
Asuka: "So... it needed to be someone who knew Rei, and loved her, and was 100% willing to do this for her."
Shinji: "So... Rei, who is partly cloned from my mother, is going to be reborn as, kind of, our daughter?"
Asuka: "Basically, yes. It'll take her a few years out of the womb before her brain can fully integrate all the restored memories."
Shinji: "...is it bad that I can't stop thinking about how to turn this into an "I'm my own grandpa" joke?"
Asuka: :eyeroll:

Kaworu: "I would evaluate that as an interim coping mechanism until you have had time to fully integrate the situation."
Shinji: "But... Kaworu? Rei's going to be a child. It'll be years until you and she can, ah... pick up where you left off?"
Kaworu:

"I've already waited a few billion years for her. What's another decade or two?"

(okay, that got away from me. Again. It was supposed to be a five-line dialog joke at most....)

The kind that crashed my brain so hard I'm hearing dial-up internet noises as everything tries to sort back out.

At least it's not a Malcom Reynolds plan...

And now you know how half the comedy omakes I write start. This is how we got Backstage and Hangover.

Which I'm working on now. ...exxxcept it went kind of porn-y, so I may have to shove that whole bit off-camera, since even though they're all now 20-22 (Well, sort of, for Rei III...) it's still too much for SV main... It does end (at the moment) with Shinji confused and relaxed, Rei extremely smug, and Asuka & Kaworu very red-faced and trying not to give visible signs of exactly what they're both thinking about.

Dealer · Sep 21, 2017

I still want to see how Asuka and Rei would've reacted if Shinji had been ganked instead.

I kinda want to see how Gendo would have reacted if 01 had self-destructed instead.

By breaking out a couple of swords and a washable tatami, probably.

You are gonna post that on FF.net, right? 'Cause it still can be done there -- you don't have to shove it out of camera in FF.net

(unless, of course, "off camera" means hiding it behind spoilers, like was done last time

)

FF.net does not officially support fiction rated Explicit. Ao3, on the other hand, has several, which are depressingly successful...

That's mostly for a certain kind of crowd, and rarely as a part of a "serious" writing effort.

Which of course doesn't mean there isn't any, but their search engine leaves out M-rated fics by default unless you tell it otherwise.

I wouldn't say I agree - AO3 is much better implemented than FFN, which is a horrendously dated setup. FFN's only real thing it has in over AO3 is sheer volume of fics. It's not hard to find some good shit there, either, it's just that its smaller library inflates the perception of shitfics, thinly-made smut and random tat.

That said, it is not a flawless platform, hence I post my stuff primarily on SV.

Though the exact particulars are probably well outside the scope of this thread and we should probably return to the rails now.

Oh, you naive one. I envy your innocence.

I said officially, in the same sense that alcohol was officially banned in the (American) 20s. In practice it was everywhere. They still can be pulled from FF.net, and many have, requiring a move to Ao3.
