In regards to Katsuhiro's death in the chronicles timeline, he will most likely be buried in an unmarked grave or incinerated. Nothing left to prove he existed. No one will shed a tear over his death. What he said about how you can not kill an idea is very true. Even if Seele is completely eradicated, one day another person or group might attempt such insanity again. That also reminds me of the trope "As long as there is evil." Even so, Humanity can at least make sure instrumentality never succeeds.

I want her to try. You cannot deny how funny their encounter would be.
Given both of their histories with their parents, I can only imagine the deeper emotional implications of having a kid would have on them after those initial reactions.A&T!Asuka and Shinji's reaction, for their part, would be an uncertain mix of 'Holy smokes, our kid is so cute!' and 'HOLY SHIT WE HAVE A KID?!?! AAAAAAAAAAAA!' behind a not-very-convincing mask.

I don't recall, was this ever addressed as being fixed? Because otherwise, it might still not bode too well for the survival on the planet.
The Moon's rotational velocity was slightly altered, which means its 'dark side' would finally be visible from Earth for the first time in recorded history. It'll eventually be tidal-locked again with Earth after thousands and thousands of years, but its actual orbital location relative to Earth was unchanged.
So the tides shouldn't be that effected. Hopefully.
Since I didn't have much to correct on the Chronicle side of things (the bit in the beginning was fine): "mein Kind"
Okay, I'm officially confused as to when to use what then. What are the rules for applying 'mein' versus 'meine'?
Huh, missed that one the first time we went through Episode 12:
I think the German/English idiom source I was referencing involved motivating him to be stubborn and bullheaded? Probably the wrong message, I take it. ^^;
Apparently so. Makes one wonder how in the world he got inspired to send the other works before polling was introduced.
MFE!Pen-Pen: CLEARLY, THERE ARE MULTIVERSAL SHENANIGANS IN STORE WITH THE MAIN PLOTLINE. GOOD LUCK GETTING ME TO SPOIL THOUGH, BECAUSE EVEN I DON'T KNOW.
...wait, then how did-?
MFE!Pen-Pen: SPOILERS~
...fine. Why the initial Evangelion-type works then?
MFE!Pen-Pen: BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING LIKE SEEING HOW HORRIBLY THINGS CAN GO WRONG TO MAKE YOU APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'VE GOT EVEN MORE.
...so, why are you binding yourself to the poll results?
MFE!Pen-Pen: BECAUSE YOU'RE THE AUDIENCE.
OKAY brain's starting to hurt now bye-bye.
MFE!Pen-Pen: Wark.
Very well done, though who is she sending this report to?
That's kind of the point of horror movies.
Gender. Since "Kind" is neuter gender, it would be "mein Kind".

.........yeah, but holy shit. We all showed up for school the next day barely able to stand from how stressed and tired we were. Actually:That's kind of the point of horror movies.
Me and Asuka: We got the most sleep. About 1 hour. Asuka especially was freaked the fuck out, because an alternate version of herself and me. Plus Pennywise was a little jarring. However, oddly enough after 6 hours of me talking about orchestra, my home town and how much I love her. She confirmed that I wasn't an evil alternate version. And was not a strange clown ghost......................passionate love making followed. "Final test" as she put it.
Rei and Kaworu: I don't entirely know what happened, but considering that in there are clones of them. And they come from creatures that can form as ghosts...........these movies messed with them the most. Either way they showed up to school just as tired as us surprisingly. I thought they were unable to get that fatigued.
Kensuke, Sayaka and Kyoko: They spent the entire night staying up and "confirming that they were real". They were redder then when me Asuka and I said what we did. Use your imagination.
Hikari and Toji: They......watched.....so many romantic comedies......to wash the horror out of their heads.

Suuure...So the tides shouldn't be that effected. Hopefully.
Ah, the fun world of German forms. Got kinda sniped by @curiosity there, but yeah, masculine/neutral -> mein, feminine -> meine. Now, in regards to what is what, I guess that's a matter of having to know...
Well, in that case, "Sei stur wie ein Bock!" would be "correct", since that'd be a demand ("Stur wie ein Bock sein!" would be "To be as stubborn as a goat" instead). But again, I don't think I've ever heard it used in such context. ^^

Man, imagine if the Chronicles gang got (read-only) access to "our" TV-Tropes... If nothing else, they'd be able to look at tropes of some other Eva fan-works that they don't get to watch/read wholesale.
Plus, there's the whole 'Trope Pantheon' bit:
Shinji: "So apparently, I'm the "God of 'Not Getting Any Mental Help'..."
Misato: "Hoping to get that fixed soon..."
S: "Asuka is the Goddess of Tsundere..."
Asuka: "I feel both slightly offended and proud hearing that..."
S: "Rei is the 'Goddess of Emotional Girls'..."
Rei: "Not anymore, thanks to you guys."
S: "My father is the 'God of World Ending and Finger-Tenting'..."
Ritsuko: "He does do that thing with his hands a lot, doesn't he?"
S: "Misato is the 'Goddess of Childish Adults and Attracting the Young Males'..."
Mi: "Hey, I take offense at that first one!"
A: "And the second bit?"
Mi: "...Meh, if the shoe fits."
S: "Mother is the 'Goddess of Empathic Weapons'..."
Re: "I suppose one could call it that..."
S: "Kaworu-kun is the 'God of Mystical White Hair'..."
Kaworu: *runs his hand through his sparkly white hair while striking an exaggerated pretty-boy pose*
Re: *lightly smacks him*
K: "Sorry."
S: "Arael is the 'God of Mind Rape'..."
A: *deadpan* "Eeyup."
Re & K: *scowling*
S: "Keel Lorenz is the 'God of Important Tertiary Characters'..."
Mi: "Of what?"
Ri: "Means that he played such a major role in things despite the fact that the Laserdiscs hardly ever had him in focus."
S: "And, Ramiel is the 'Deity of Sinister Geometry'."

No-one. The way i'd imagined it, hence the login bit at the start, was that these are her personal notes, for her own perusal, rather than to be sent to someone, hence the implication that there's more detailed files elsewhere.
I'm half tempted to reuse my 'acute' joke from about half a year ago, but that only really worked with the image of Ramiel wearing a schoolgirl uniform.Ramiel: O-oh my!

I'd imagine that if needed to, she could print a report on a particular world/sphere of interest when the topic comes up.
Although the "rescue the laserdisc pilots" would be an interesting direction. I really hope chronicles attempts something like this. If only for the contrast.

Hopefully it'll be less disastrous than what happened in Nobody Dies, where during the Multiverse Arc,
ND!Rei and Unit-05 (aka Go-kun, aka Liberty Prime as an Eva, aka the daddy of ND!Rei's mindbabies) inadvertently dragged an enraged ND!ADAM into the post-3I End of Evangelion. She picked up EoE!Shinji/Asuka before the battle with ND!ADAM pretty much destroyed Earth. The giant Tang gestalt that was humanity post-3I promptly NOPE'd away into deep space before ND!Rei transitioned into another universe.
It was that kind of fic.

Ah yes, I remember Nobody Dies.
It was batshit insane.

Recommend recitation of the MST3K Mantra. Any other course of action invites madness
Leliel sends the main cast - Shinji, Asuka, Rei, Yui, Kyoko, and their Eva's - careening through the multiverse. They end up visiting canon Eva and the worlds of several popular Eva fanfics.

After a point I think the author ran out of story and improvised....
I never doubted that ! I even refused to acknowledge the existence of EoE for a long time because I thought the end of the series was much better !

From what I recall of those days several years ago, the subsequent season after the Leliel arc suffered sufficient backlash (and I honestly can't remember why, other than some vague recollections that he had written himself into a corner for one reason or another) that the author ended up reversing months' worth of writing with an "all just a dream" maneuver utilizing Arael.
Alas, that didn't pan out well either, and Nobody Dies became a proverbial Dead Fic not too long afterwards. :/

Huh, shows how little I remember of the actual plot of ND. I certainly recall elements, like obviously the Ree and now that you mentioned Go-kun, that kinda rang a bell too. But for the life of me, I can't remember them going for EoE!A&S. Honestly, the only thing I vividly remember is sadly...Hopefully it'll be less disastrous than what happened in Nobody Dies, where during the Multiverse Arc,
ND!Rei and Unit-05 (aka Go-kun, aka Liberty Prime as an Eva, aka the daddy of ND!Rei's mindbabies) inadvertently dragged an enraged ND!ADAM into the post-3I End of Evangelion.

Yeah, that. That one certainly hurt. "It was all a dream" is rarely a good idea, in this case resetting months of plot certainly didn't help at all. And while I may not remember details, I do kinda recall there also some pretty good/important developments being erased by that (though I'm not sure if he reintroduced some again?).
Though it did spark an idea for the "next Ikaris chapter" (which only goes to show how long that's been dormant...
):Asuka wakes up, goes to the bath, finds Misato under the shower (not sure if youngsters these days get that given that it was already kinda too old for me)
A: "Uh... What are you doing here...?"
M: "Huh? What do you mean? Taking a shower in my very own apartment, of course."
A: "I'm... pretty sure you were kicked out yesterday..."
M: "Whaaat? No, no, certainly not. That..." *waves fingers* "~That was all just a dream~"
A: ...
A: "No, it wasn't!"
M: "Alright, alright! Rei only has frikking cold water! I don't know if she can stand to live in that dump! And I'm certainly not gonna shower at NERV, with their cameras everywhere!"
A: *sigh* "Well then..." ! "WAIT, THERE ARE CAMERAS IN THE SHOWERS!?"
A: "Uh... What are you doing here...?"
M: "Huh? What do you mean? Taking a shower in my very own apartment, of course."
A: "I'm... pretty sure you were kicked out yesterday..."
M: "Whaaat? No, no, certainly not. That..." *waves fingers* "~That was all just a dream~"

There was sadly a lot of cool things that got retconned by that 'dream' trick, yes. The two things that stick out the most for me are all the awesome of the Battle of Tokyo Bay and Pieter and Kyoko's reconciliation and remarriage, which completed Kyoko's turn from 'hideous abusive mother who made ND!Asuka a stuttering wreck with Canon!Shinji-levels of zero self-worth' to 'mama bear who set Asuka's step-mother's hair on fire for insulting her daughter and making her cry in public'. ND overall suffered from a lack of advance planning, which could produce awesome, but made a satisfying ending elusive.
Anyhow, an apology. I've been far busier here than I expected to be, which is bad for writing, but great professionally. I'm doing a lot of intel support to several units here, and they're pretty happy with how things are going. I am going to get some bloody writing done soon, though. It's really starting to give me an itch, how I've been at a standstill for so long.
