*Sigh* I'm still waiting for my fic to get a TvTropes page. Hopefully I'll get that chapter done before Christmas.

First, you seem to have forgotten one very significant vessel. Do the words 'Here I stand, and here I shall remain' ring a bell?
Second, I agree with @Ranma-sensei; go initiate the sleep thing.

Kaworu clamped his hands over his eyes and pressed until it started to hurt. "No no no no no no no you can't you can't you can't don't don't don't don't," he desperately chanted to himself. "She comes back, she comes back, she comes back, you know she comes back, she has to come back, please please please..." His chest heaved as his breathing accelerated towards panic. There was blood in his mouth, over and above the usual tang of the LCL.
'You can see her again right now. You know what you were born to do. You know what feels so right...' The Call was whispering shouting screaming in his head right now. 'The pain would end forever...'
Unit-03 slowly turned towards the Geofront and the Eva catapult access point.

"Fuyutsuki, take care of the rest."
"Unn."

"P...Pilots, return to the elevators. Doctor Akagi's teams will... will carry out recovery and Search & Rescue for the First Child," Misato said through a dry throat. "There's... nothing more we can do right now. Return to base."
Behind her, Ritsuko had already tapped Maya on the shoulder and the two had begun heading for the exit of Central Dogma. Maya's relief slid right into her spot and kept the feeds on the remaining three Evas running.
Misato tensed, waiting for any additional instructions from the Commander to interrupt things. When none came, she turned to look up and back at the Commander's perch.
It was empty, Sub-Commander Fuyutsuki standing there watching. Commander Ikari was already gone.
Misato felt a chill run down her spine. 'What is he up to?'
+++
Shinji stared blankly at the molten crater that had been a green valley northeast of Tokyo-3. His brain just... refused to engage. He wasn't seeing this. He couldn't be.
Misato's order didn't snap him back to reality. Unit-02's shove did. He staggered.
"Hey, wha-?"
"Come on, Third. You heard Misato. Doctor Fake-Blonde will recover the First and we're supposed to get moving," Asuka said in a tight growl.
"But... she... she's..." Shinji couldn't make himself say it. Saying it would make it real.
"No she isn't!" Asuka almost snarled at him. "She is not dead!" Unit-02 spun around, glaring back at him, fists clenched and shaking at its sides despite the ragged, bleeding wounds that still showed all over its armor. "So don't you dare say it! She ejected or something! They'll find her and she'll be alright!"
Shinji wanted to believe that. More than anything. But they'd all seen Unit-00, right up to the end. It had been on its back. There was no place for her to have ejected to, and they'd all heard her say she could not. He sadly shifted his gaze to Unit-03. "Kaworu?"
His friend did not turn or reply. Unit-03 kept walking towards the closest elevator.

Its.
Its.
Its. "It's" is a contraction for "it is." So you're saying Unit-00 had been on it is back. "Its" is the possessive form.
On a note not related to proofreading, I'm really hoping Rei comes back somehow. Maybe Gendo has a DNA sample somewhere. Maybe she spontaneously developed teleportation powers. I know I'm probably grasping at straws, but I want her to return, if only for the sake of WAFF.

You. I like you. Not just for the Ya(N)aF thing, but for also liking those other two.
Mine doesn't have one either, and a) I don't know enough about tropes to make it myself, plus b) it would feel egotistical to do it myself.
You know that low, broad, dowdy soft item of furniture in the next room? It has the power to cure fatigue and restore vitality.

Pretty sure that's his autocorrect's fault, not his.
In other news, I wouldn't be surprised at Gendō abandoning his post to initiate the decanting of however much Ritsu recovered from the
Abandoning his post? I think not. The battle is over, the surviving Evangelions are en route back to base, search and rescue for Rei has been ordered. There's nothing in the command center that requires his attention so he's leaving his capable subordinates to handle the mundane tasks. Five gets you ten there is an important experiment which he wishes to personally supervise.

Please tell me there is an HMS Rhabwar, after the famed hospital ship from the Sector General novels. Although the original was more of an ambulance ship, her white hull festooned with "The Occluded Sun, the Brown Leaf, the Red Cross, and other symbols representing aid freely given." She had a much smaller capacity than other ships of her size, because the Rhabwar was intended to handle any species, and so needed to be able to maintain any environment in her ward and operating decks.

I wish! I posted that at the beginning of my 12 hour shift.
I know. That's what happens when I'm writing on 3 hours of sleep. I correctly spell the wrong words. Happens with 'taught' where I mean 'taut', too.

While we're on the subject, I'm wondering if there's an HMS Chiune Sugihara. I really should get around to reading A Crown of Stars at some point...

It's not simply egotistical, it's prohibited on TvTropes. In truth, anyone with an account can just put a suggestion in and see if anyone thinks it should get a page (or at least put it in the Fanfic Recs page, which I'd be satisfied with personally), but it takes someone who knows that, has an account, and reads the fic diligently enough to make it or request it to be made.
The page doesn't have to even be well made (the one for ACoS and A&T has several mistakes in grammar and misses some details), it just has to have some amount of Wiki Love.

*Blushes* Thank you! *Runs and hides*
A few of my fics are listed on there under recommended fics but none of them have their own page. I'd love to see Braver or YM(N)RA get their own pages but I don't think it's likely to happen.

This next chapter might get a bit rough. Still not as rough as episodes 21-24 of the series though.
