Okay, now that i'm no longer completely stunned by sheer finale awesomeness and can actually put together something a little longer because i'm not tiredly typing on my phone at well after 3 in the morning because I just had to keep on reading MFE's finale all the way to the end...

The bit you're thinking of was actually part of the original, alas. :V (As you'll see on the FFNet version)

Almost all of the edits during this Chronicles run have been related to fixing typos and formatting errors that have been present since I first cross-posted this fic in 2016. Any additions are all tied to tightening the grammar or filling in some narrative blank spots, but nothing substantively new has been added (in terms of true plot-relevant scenes or major character interactions).

Oh, and fixing inaccurate German. :p
Ah well. Guess I was reading too much into that, then. Regardless, I hope that final bit gets some kind of reaction anyway...

...since, you know, with how the multiverse works in infinite possibilities, Pen-Pen could easily have actually been talking to the Chronicles cast with intent, as much as it was a fourth wall break.

...and that, actually, makes me really want to see some kind of deeper crossover between the MFE and Chronicles (or A&T, though that's even less likely) universes, purely for the fun of it. I mean, I know that'd be difficult to arrange and almost certainly wouldn't happen, but a guy can dream.

Because I keep imagining the Chronicles cast being reacted to with some surprise at their different dynamics, both life and relationship-wise by their MFE counterparts...

...be that their older selves with kids or their temporal contemporaries in immediate post-EoE MFE.

But I'm really glad you enjoyed it! it's been fun, going back through this.
It's certainly one of the best fics i've read recently (and ever). I actually felt kind of sad when it ended, and the closer I got to the end, the more my brain wanted. It only really hit me when I scrolled to continue reading and saw "The End". I actually re-read the final scene again.

When the posts you made at the time mentioned the possibility of omakes, it got my mind spinning with possibilities (probably where the crossover thought came from), and if you ever do any omakes, i'll gladly read them. :D

/at this juncture
//the Sufficient Velocity version
///is now the definitive edition of MFE
Would probably be difficult to transfer over to FF.net anyway, from what i've seen. Am glad I read it here on SV, in that case, if I was getting the best possible experience, overall. :)

Unrelated final question, by the way, because I don't want to necromance the MFE main thread and the discussion's here already anyway:

Aside from Yomiko, did you have names in mind for the rest of the Pilot children, even though they weren't mentioned?

Hmm...I honestly hadn't considered it.

For the firstborn son, I imagine Rei would have some affinity for the name Garcia, in memory of the blond boy she killed after defeating Roberta the Bloodhound in Mexico City.

Likewise the name Roberta for the daughter, in that vein. Though, there would probably be discussions about naming her children specifically after people she killed in battle, so maybe not. :V

I honestly don't know, really. I'd probably go the time-honored route of finding three WW2-era warships and naming them after those. :p
 
So instead of Duff taking over my account, he mailed his fan fiction to me. That was hard to explain to Misato, "I need to upload this to a site that doesn't just exist in our universe, but a site where the god writing our literal story." Either way here's this weird crap that apparently happened to me.

NGE A&T: Traveling Rock Brigade

Story by Duff Timmons

Chapter 2: Serenading Gone Wrong

A week passed, life continued on as normal. Or as normal as life in Tokyo-3 could be. No angel or SEELE attacks, just seven unnaturally hot days. Days that made you want to crank the AC past any reasonable limit. Unfortunately, that only made the inside similar to the freaking arctic. So, now what do you do late at night to warm up? Well…..

"Huff…..Huff….Huff….." Shinji tried to catch his breath.

"What's…..wrong ...big...ah."

Asuka fell off of Shinji, right to her place in bed. Yet she had enough strength to rub up against him. Both of them breathing hard, but both had smiles when they came into contact. Shinji barely had enough strength to pull the covers over them. Setting himself up for Asuka saying.

"Like I said ...ha ...till you can't even stand."

Only for Shinji to role on his side to face her. And said in a german ("Allow me to return the favor.")

With a cocked eyebrow, Asuka wondered…where were Shinji's hands….

"Ahhh!"

"(Don't hold back my darling.)"

Shinji kissed her on the shoulders and neck as she practically turned to jello. The hand that Shinji had free reached over to his SDAT player that was plugged into a radio he had bought. He pressed play. Then, leaned in closer to her ear ...and started to sing in a deep slow voice. Never going into forte to avoid screaming in her ear.

(The Doors - Light My Fire)

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Shinji looked into her eyes, that could barely stay open.

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah

Shinji got on top of her and the next couple of minutes were the best minutes of their lives.

(Instrumental)

And Shinji still kept on singing to her.

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Shinji stopped singing, too wrapped in what was about to happen.

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire

Both of them nearly passed out.

(Spongebob Style Time Card - 2 Hours Later)

The two teenagers laid next to each other, holding on like they were the only people for miles. For the most part both stayed quit in deep sleep. That was until Asuka's hand flowed down naturally to Shinji lower back. He started to shake, his skin became cold and he began to whisper.

"......no…..no….."

This slightly awoke Asuka, she wasn't in full emergency mode. She had to save him from a few brooding dreams in the past. This was him probably feeling like his old self again, thinking he was responsible for everyone's pain. Asuka leaned in to whisper in his ear on wake him up.

"Shinji….Shinji…..it's me, the girl you pleasure every night."

Shinji still held on, but didn't wake up. He still shook and felt even colder.

"No…...no ...not her too. Please not her."

Asuka was now scared, what the hell was he dreaming about. He wasn't waking up like normal.

"Shinji, what's wrong?"

".....Asuka…..run…………(twitching and tears).......o god no. Please someone let me out."

"Shinji wake up!" she cried worriedly.

Silence. Asuka started shaking him. He still didn't wake up, yet he still held on to her. Asuka stop shaking him, crying and wondering what was causing the closest person to her so much pain.

Shinji began to sing.

(Something In The Way - Nirvana)

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings

[x2:]
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm

[x4:]
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm

Shinji slowly opened his eyes, looking straight to his side. Asuka turned his head to face her hovering over him. Her look was that of horror and pity, she was nearly devastated. Her tears fell on to Shinji's face, while he gave an apologetic look. He pulled her closer to kiss her, the same deep kiss that meant he truly loved her.

When they were closer, she finally had enough strength to ask the question.

"What happened?"
More silence, Shinji looked off through the window. The moon light in his eyes. She moved his head to face her again.

"Don't think, just tell me. I don't want that to happen to you again."

Shinji simply smiled…...and shook his head.

"It won't happen again…but I still can't tell you."

The old fire that had been put out in Asuka's soul started to spark.

"Why?" she asked with more tears in her eyes.

"What's so secret you can't even tell the girl that you pledge your life too? Is it really that bad!"

Shinji then gave the look Asuka had never seen before, something that stopped her angry tears mid-cry. A look of Shell Shock, Horror and Anger that not only matched her anger. It eclipsed it, and shut up Asuka for good.

"....Yes…..the reason I'm not telling you it. Is because it's so bad I can't even put it into words. Trust me ..."

The look faded away, being replaced with the same kind Shinji look Asuka fell in love with. Almost making her smile, a sign her original baka-Shinji was back. After a dangerous and excruciating trip.

"When I'm strong enough to tell it. I will and in detail. Just like with my mother ...twice."

Asuka couldn't help but smile.

"Good, because this better not happen again."

She slowly lowered herself back down next to him.

"It won't, though ...not as much serenading will happen anymore. But I'll make it up too you."

She gave a confused, but happy look.

"Ok, it's a fair trade."

Shinji hugged her tighter and kissed her.

"I love so gott damn much ...please don't leave me."

"Never my love ...never."

Wow, only 1171 words. Duff is slacking.
 
Was looking at some Nadia art and realized that Chronicles Shinji's reaction would be "Why is this show shipping Kensuke and girl-me?"

Edit: also, Gargoyle is Fuyutsuki under the mask.

See the ellipsis to the right of the smiley button? It's a dropdown menu that includes two kinds of spoiler tags -- "inline spoiler" gets the blur. I think it's brand new with the most recent version of XenForo.

Apparently you can see his face for a second or so in the last ep.

I don't have a shot of that, but here's a group pic by Sadamoto!


Yeah you can see part of his face in the final episode. I think you vaguely see him in flashbacks too but I'm not sure. I rewatched the series a few months ago, you'd think I remember !

Your image doesn't work, but I can't recall seeing him in a pic. I have the French ultimate edition or something, with the Blue water (!) and more importantly two artbooks. Having a good anime boxset in France, who would have thought !
 
So, @BG_Character_592 and I were discussing things, and the concept of late-night texting came up.

This is the spawn of that idea.

/At Least Some Years Later, where the Pilots Consuming Alcohol Would Not be a Legal Problem/

Misato Katsuragi stared at the five Evangelion Pilots with a madly twitching eyebrow. Of them, only Shinji Ikari and Hikari Horaki appeared contrite; Asuka Langley-Sohryu still appeared somewhat hungover; Rei Ayanami and Kaworu Nagisa, by contrast, appeared absolutely serene. "You do know why I have you all sitting here, in my living room, right?"

A sound slipped past Asuka's throat that approximated a cross between a chugging combustion engine and a cat hacking the world's largest hairball. "Glfghrnk."

Rei helpfully translated this as "we have our suspicions."

"For one, I don't know how you found a bottle of Spirytus 192 proof-"

"Um, Asuka wanted to see if we could actually get Rei and Kaworu drunk," murmured Shinji.

"We told her that would be unlikely," helpfully said Kaworu. "Then Pen-Pen provided a tiny bottle with a substance no one was able to identify." Pause. "It smelled of peaches."

"And cashews," added Rei.

"Then Asuka-chan started using it as a base for mixed drinks, and..." Hikari flushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "We started getting...festive. I think."

Misato's eyebrow twitched harder. "-but, do you five realize what you got up to?"

"Huliknjr," grunted Asuka.

"Vaguely," translated Rei. "For the record, Kaworu and I have no memory of what happened after Pen-Pen's...addition. But the two of us woke up without a hangover."

"So unfair," grumbled Shinji, briefly wincing as he rested his forehead in his palm.

Misato simply showed them her phone. "News flash: you five start texting. A lot."

The four cognizant Pilots leaned in. Asuka wearily opened an eye to look.

(Time Stamp: 12:45 AM)

S: heeeey

A: heeeeeeey

H: why are we saying heeeeey?

R: Please. Enlighten us. A group text demands an elaborate explanation, so that the uninformed will be aware!

K: :V

S: there's this song. it describes me so well. maybe

A: ur sittin' next to me, just sing it

H: we cant sing while texting, that's rude

R: Truly, a most egregious breach of etiquette! You will simply have to type in the lyrics for us.

K: :/

A: great idea kawoooooooo

K: :p

H: omg that's so wrong nagisa-kun

R: I will educate him as to his folly later, in private. So please, continue on, Shinji ver Ikarison.

S: k...asuka

A: yeeeeeeeeeeees?

S: i ache for the touch of your lips dear. but much more for the touch of your whips dear. you can raise welts like nobody else, as we dance to the masochism tango

H: tmi tmi tmi tmi tmi

K: XD

R: Such a lyric would be more applicable to your relationship prior to the awakening of your ardor. Unless thou hast partaken of uncouth activities when no one else was around!

A: masochism is kinda in the job description of driving an Evanjellydonut i'm hungry

K: :3

A: brilliant idea, where can we get donuts

H: the penguin just brought us some

A: sweeeeeeeet

S: are we giving ourselves a drinking problem?

R: Oh Third Child, Second Impact gave everyone a drinking problem, and I'm afraid Third Impact was a poor substitute for an Alcoholics Anonymous rendezvous!

K: ^^;

H: i'ma see how toei's doing

A: you mean toejam

S: unsanitary

(Time Stamp: 5:30 AM)

Mi: What's with all the texting?

Mi: What the hell is going on?!?

R: Apologies, Commander! We had moved on to vexing others with our shenanigans. We shall see you later on this fine morning!

Mi: okay Rei, what's gone wrong

Mi: Rei.

Mi: REI

xxxx

"...I am unusually erudite when inebriated," muttered Rei.

"...and I only speak in emoji, apparently," said Kaworu.

Shinji's face was beet red. "What song was I texting?!"

Hikari winced. "Too loud."

Asuka snorted. "Msochst," she giggily gurgled.

"And I'm not the only one you five texted, either," groused Misato.

"What the hell did they get up to last night, Sempai?"

"I don't want to know." Ritsuko grumbled, cancelling sync tests for today.

"Jeez, she didn't have to tell us everything."

"Not that I'm complaining, Sayaka." Mused Kyoko, glancing over Kensuke's shoulder, who had evidently frozen like a computer. "Gives me some ideas, actually."

Her sly smirk didn't help Kensuke's case.
~

"Why didn't they involve us?!"

"They did text us over 50 times asking for us to join, y'know."

"But we were asleep, darling!"

"...Does alcohol even affect us?"
~
I think it's just a thing that Evangelion pilots + Alcohol = a fun time for everyone. Just look at what happened during the Hangover :V
 
Imagine if the mothers got those texts.
Yui: We need to have a word with them about this.
Kyoko: Come to think of it, this would be the first time we scolded them.
 
I made the mistake of watching Eraserhead (1977) alone. Or maybe it was a good thing, because I'm pretty damn certain this movie would disturb everyone at NERV. Well except my father ofcourse.
 
...Huh. Well then...
Misato Katsuragi stared at the five Evangelion Pilots with a madly twitching eyebrow. Of them, only Shinji Ikari and Hikari Horaki appeared contrite; Asuka Langley-Sohryu still appeared somewhat hungover; Rei Ayanami and Kaworu Nagisa, by contrast, appeared absolutely serene.
Wait...
"For one, I don't know how you found a bottle of Spirytus 192 proof-"
"Um, Asuka wanted to see if we could actually get Rei and Kaworu drunk," murmured Shinji.
...Is this the new and improved HANGOVER?!
"We told her that would be unlikely," helpfully said Kaworu. "Then Pen-Pen provided a tiny bottle with a substance no one was able to identify." Pause. "It smelled of peaches."
"And cashews," added Rei.
"Then Asuka-chan started using it as a base for mixed drinks, and..." Hikari flushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "We started getting...festive. I think."
So this is... *looks it up on Wikipedia* "Spheniscidaen Ale"?
Misato's eyebrow twitched harder. "-but, do you five realize what you got up to?"
*Starts to thank Heaven for the rare and most welcome OT5-*
Misato simply showed them her phone. "News flash: you five start texting. A lot."
...


...*Stops thanking Heaven.*
So, Kaworu is the "Funny Picture" Drunk,
H: we cant sing while texting, that's rude
Hikari is the "Don't be naughty guys! Tee hee!" Drunk,
R: Truly, a most egregious breach of etiquette! You will simply have to type in the lyrics for us.
Rei is the "Seiba" Drunk
A: masochism is kinda in the job description of driving an Evanjellydonut i'm hungry
And finally, Asuka is the "Munchies" Drunk while Shinji's just the normal variety, which everybody was expecting.
 
I'm probably the last guy who should say this(as i did contribute to it) but I can't help but feel the guy who said "this thread is being derailed(or something along those lines)" kind of has a point now. I mean the last few pages make this sound like a snippet fanfic thread for Eva instead of a thread for an actual fic. Isn't that the kind of the the Admins get called in to stop?

You'll know when it gets derailed when you start seeing my friends and I getting put into real life politics. That and fan art from Rule 34.

[...and the mothers]
This was a good laugh to wake up to first thing in the morning. Brilliant way to begin the day.

I'm now imagining copious Nephilim power shenanigans on the parts of drunk Rei and Kaworu. Unfortunately, beyond something with party hats and teleporting, ala that one scene from Gunnerkrigg Court, i've got nothing. :p

Personally, I think we're still good, as this more or less feels like it falls within the realm of omakes for Chronicles, which is a mainstay on the thread already.
