I'm pretty sure Misato riding it caused this issue in the first place.

Hikari was still pretty buzzed (emotionally!) from finally getting to marry her man, and knew her friends too well to really get upset much. By the time she came down, she'd had time to adjust to the idea, and more or less mentally file their quartet under 'Eva Pilots are just a unique category'.Also, Hikari already knows, since she was there in Vegas. Her reaction was basically "that's nice, I'mma fuck Toji some more."
Then she had to hear about KSK.
".....you know what? Fuck it. Touji! Come on, we're going to bed."
Not enough to have any real effect, but enough to make her worry, panic, swear to go cold turkey on alcohol until the child was born.... then suddenly realize how long that was going to be.
Tsk! I knew I should have rechecked 4oU, to keep them aligned. Blame it on it being 0500 when I got done. Alas. Can we salvage it? I don't mind rewriting to fix if possible.It struck me after re-reading that this update means that Four of Us must now become fully independent, because my most recent update (which was a while ago) and Hangover #9 are irreconcilable story-wise (at least without some darker story for Misato, which I am definitely not willing to pull - she has suffered enough). Which is of course fine, as my work if a fanfiction to yours and there comes a time where a child must walk its own path
If not, c'est la vie, and 4oU will have good company in the... surprisingly large cohort of fics spun off or inspired by A&T at this point.
....I think I've lost count.
Back to work on A&T! I've got some good lines for the rather tense conversation between Misato and the Pilots, especially Rei. Shinji's going to have to play peacemaker again. But Rei has some things to bargain with.
She remembers everything.
Dude that sounds kickass, I want to see this more developed and I'm sure Boreas would make a good plot conciliator. This might encourage owners of other Apocrypha to take similar strides until the great A&T thread has coalesced into a Mega-Lilith assuming such teamwork minimizes OP making repeat edits. Tl;dr: Do ( not ) let Threadmarks sorting creep into the wee hours of FoUrth Impact.

Finally accepting the inevitable
This one was not threadmarked, and so very easy to miss - I had to search it by phrases.
Ad rem: Hangover #9 is based around two things: Misato's birthday and discovering her pregnancy; this drives the last scene as well. I don't think any rewrite is feasible without changing the premise - and the piece is just fine as it is.
And to state it loudly if it wasn't clear from the previous posts - I don't mind having Four of Us in discontinuity, as it will also untie hands for both of us a bit, too (I would've made the Asuka/Rei scene about children differently, if with a nearly identical outcome), as long as you consider it a spiritual successor of sorts
So - thank you for the suggestion, but I think we can leave things as they are without any harm, especially that the next part of Four of Us is going to be published... well, sometime in 2020, most likely. I'll just make a note where things depart from your canon and carry on from there.
Yeah... you've been an inspiration to many. How does it feel?

I missed it? Dang. Link, and I'll fix that?
One of these days I need to read NERVous Breakdown too, and sneak refs to that in.

It was a rather chaotic time, if I recall correctly. It's here. Apologies for raising the chaos ^^'
While I did some stuff as editor, it was mostly for technical writing. So... thank you for your trust, but IMO current solution is the best. Not that it will stop me from poaching ideas and doing what I can to maintain at least loose continuity

My favorite part was still the thread reaction when I killed Shinji off.
Can you link the part @7734 ?
Well, I can think of a technical writing challenge for you. OP's main story is concentrated in the first few hundred pages and then some threadmarks in the next thousand, then another burst of updates from page 1500 to now. How might someone stitch together with or without 'reader' mode (given that much of Strypgia's non-threadmarked responses to reader questions or comments add to the story like a footnote or afterword in an actual light novel) a volume edit in tablet friendly form?
Boreas, get in on the story discussion / behind the scenes. Ask OP or one of the other big authors here.

An observant reader will note this is the first page, because I legitimately don't remember when I whacked the Ikari Younger, so have fun reading it.
So, don't get your soul eaten, don't get half your soul eaten, don't starve your kids of attention and approval, don't abandon your family for thot, and don't extinct all life.
Did I miss anything?

There's three people this implies, and Unit 01 being a Thot sums up one off them entirely.

Only by meticulous, scrupulous, painstalkingly thorough reading through every post and bookmarking them for future use, then perhaps asking someone of the technical staff to create a solution that will export the bookmarks.
There are other, more technical ways, but 1) most automated solutions that are not already part of the forum will run afoul of SV rules (scraping the posts is not allowed and this would require exactly that, so - no) 2) nothing short of a bespoke Machine Learning solution will be able to tell which non-threadmarked posts are important and which are not (and for that you need it in machine-readable form - back to 1)).
I'm not sure what do you mean by that and what does it have to do with the previous statement. On the risk of straying off topic, I will then ask: care to elaborate?
Sure thing, you mentioned 'loose continuity', and I think the best method is to ask the author directly, though perhaps outside of the thread in a private convo in case said discussion would spoil the next several updates.

Ah, thank you for the elaboration. This I did already, as I consider this a courtesy at the minimum (if one has access to the author, of course, which in case of writing fanfiction is a rare opportunity). "Loose continuity" I mentioned was about maintaining plot ties (at least in broad strokes and in spirit) despite departing from strict narrative continuity.

EVA + XCOM = "*chuckles* I'm in danger."
That premise alone intrigues me. The Angels while threatening were fairly dramatic in their attacks, sea scroll and what, whereas the xcom aliens were deadly pragmatists.
Im going to see if it holds my interest and add it to my reading list.
Edit : mobile is stupid sometimes.

Now multiply that by XCOM baddies jumping backward in time, getting hold of the Dead Sea Scrolls and rewriting them!
Is no one going to comment that 3.0+1.0 has a release date? @BG_Character_592 will you cover this in chronicle s or...?
Also Merry Christmas/Hanukkah/Saturnalia from Alaska!

"So lemme get this straight." Misato started from the top, pinching the bridge of her nose. "You two didn't have a Christmas tree."
"Indeed."
"And you didn't want to go out and get one this close to Christmas."
"Indeed."
"So why the hell did turning Kaworu into a Christmas tree come up on the list of alternatives?"
"It isn't so bad." The tree spoke, covered in tinsel and various fish shaped baubles. "I only have to do this eight hours a day."
Misato simply looked gobsmacked. "And neither Shinji or Asuka made a fuss about it?"
"They helped decorate." Bluntly responded Rei. "And if Kaworu consented to this, it should be all good. His body his rules."
"But... It's... gah!" She soon exclaimed, not finding a good enough excuse for why not. "Y'know what, fine. Keep the damn Fishmas tree but you better not let Ritsuko know."
"We won't tell if you don't." Remarked said Fishmas tree.
So that was their Fishmas
I'll make a special oneshot Chronicles for 3.0+1.0 when it becomes accessible to me.
When that happens is up to whether you want them to watch a camrip or not

I'm officially requesting your permission to steal this scene for Four of Us or similarly cracked story!
Ironically "Fishmas" as a term would not be that off: after all, Ichtys - a stylized fish - was one of the first symbols used by early Christians (it symbolized Christ and was an acrostic for declaration of faith). So... yeah: Christmas could be rendered as Fishmas with only a little bit of a stretch.

Go ahead
Good thing Kaworu isn't embarrassed by being turned into a Christmas tree. Then again, he's been rather open to transforming himself and others in these omakes, flashbacks to Catgirl Chronicles intensify

Asuka: Im curious, Kaworu, why do you let Rei use you like this?Good thing Kaworu isn't embarrassed by being turned into a Christmas tree. Then again, he's been rather open to transforming himself and others in these omakes, flashbacks to Catgirl Chronicles intensify
Kaworu: Well for one thing, it comes at no cost to me. I don't lose sentience, and I can always turn myself back at any time. Plus there are some perks...
Asuka: Perks? What kind?
Asuka smiles smugly.
Kaworu: Nothing much. Just that im happy to help Rei whenever I need too.
Asuka's smile fades to a neutral position.
Asuka: How boring...

The next day
------
Its the P.E. period and the girls get the pool. Asuka is mostly relaxing. She trains enough in the NERV pool, she'd rather rest while she could.
In walks Rei. She was late to class. Asuka tries to see her but due to her being in the pool can only glance at her head. Asuka wasn't the only one to notice her entrance as the female teacher heads to her.
Teach: Rei what happened to you? You're normally not this tardy.
Rei: I apologize. My regular swimming uniform was damaged this morning and I was waiting for a replacement to be delivered. It just arrived now.
Teach: Well, its not the correct color, but considering the circumstances I'll let it slide. Try to have a proper replacement by next week.
Rei: Understood.
Rei joins Asuka in the pool and she sees Rei's swimsuit. It was a one piece school uniform swimsuit, but instead of the school's standard blue, it was completely silver.
