Doom Guy's name is B.J. Blazkowicz III, a descendent of the legendary Polish-American Nazi-killer himself.
Let's be honest here, it wouldn't be that strange if Asuka was related to him.
...
...
...yes...
Yes!
YES!
This is now and forever will be, headcannon!
Asuka's Great Grandfather, from her father Langley, will be William Joseph "B.J." Blazkowicz!

Edit: Might as well toss in Indiana Jones in as well, she has four Great Grandfathers.

Edit the 2nd: You can also make Doom guy one of her decedents. Post 3I, Asuka and Shinji must change their surnames in order to avoid SEELE remnants. Thus they choose Blazkowicz, in honor of one of her badass Great Grandpas.

Edit the 3rd: SEELE can also be a successor organization to the Thule Society. I smell a crossover brewing...

Dual-wielding skill is genetic apparently. :V

"That explains your interest in whips."
"Quiet Baka, you've been a bad boy."
"Yes Mistress."

And a certain Corporation and its CEO found some of SEELE's notes very useful when studying Argent Energy.
Damnit, why isn't there a 'dipping my hat' option!?
Hat-tip accepted.:D
 
Okay, I have to admit that I don't get it. What's the reference?
No particular reference. Just the Thunder-soldier of God pissed that he'll have to hear 'You killed my father, prepare to die', 'never cross a Sicilian, when death is on the line', and 'you keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means' and the like for the next billion years.
 
"Until the end of the world, you and me," he said. "Promised."

"Baka." She smiled and let sleep claim her.

In the BTVS episode "The Gift," there's a small exchange between Buffy and Spike that's never stopped haunting me. Buffy asks him to protect Dawn, and he replies "To the end of the world. Even if that happens to be tonight."

If something truly bad happens to Asuka, we're definitely looking at a potential end-of-Rebuild-2.22 scenario, with no one to talk Shinji down except maybe Rei, and we can just about count on Gendo to do the absolute worst thing possible to defuse the situation.

My prediction? Asuka gets absorbed by Unit 02 the way Shinji did during the canonical Zeruel fight... and Gendo just shrugs and says "Reset Unit 02 for the Fourth Child." It'll almost be worth it, to see Gendo's face when he realizes that Rei has chosen Shinji over him....

Arael: "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Zeruel: "STOP SAYING THAT."

*beat*

Zeruel: "BY ADAM, LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME."

Misato: "Rei, what's going on out there, is the Angel doing anything to you?"
Rei: "I am starting to see what Tabris meant by fascination with our culture."
Misato: "What."
 
A movie night with Shinji and Asuka. Asuka has decided that Rei has a serious lack of cultural education that she needs to fix. (Which is mostly an excuse to hang out watching movies with her two favorite people, snuggle with her boyfriend on the couch, and teach Rei how to laugh.)

The fact that said education consists of, in part, ambush-tickling Rei has nothing to do with Asuka's devotion to her calling as a teacher.
Nothing.
At all.

Really.
 
We'll be calling for Gendo's head on a pike soon, won't we?

Aren't we doing this allready on and off?

"Until the end of the world, you and me," he said. "Promised."

This Scene is brought to you by 3 days of sleep deprivation.

*Things go south and 3I still happens. Asuka wakes up on the beach just to find Shinji making out with Misato*

Asuka: What the hell!?

Shinji: Well I did say "Until the end of the world". You are welcome to join though.

Asuka: DIE BAKA!

Kaworu just smiled, picked up his now packed away violin, and gave her a tiny bow. "As you wish."

For some reason, this made Rei's glare at him turn to liquid nitrogen. "What was that?" she hissed.

Kaworu halted in his move towards the door. "I am doing as you said. Is there something wrong?"

"Are you…" Rei seemed to fight for the right word. "Quoting at me?"

"….no?"

Rei still looked like she wanted to throw things at him. "Fine. Go. Away," she bit out, and turned her back on him.

"Goodnight, Shinji-kun," Kaworu smiled back at the Third Child. "Convey my good wishes to the Second Child for a successful reactivation test."

"Goodnight," Shinji called as the grey-haired boy left. He looked at his friend, who was still looking like a bristling cat. "Rei… are you alright?"

"If I find out he was quoting at me…" Rei muttered. "Nnggg! That stupid fish!" She shook herself. "I am alright, Shinji. We should return to Major Katsuragi's apartment immediately. Asuka is excited at the prospect of the reactivation test tomorrow, but also… agitated, due to… other factors."

Ok, Rainbowtrout jokes aside I get that Kaworu is about as wrong to Rei as a walking talking Salvador Dali painting would be to an ordinary human. But if she keeps reacting to him like that in front of Shinji and/or Asuka she will have to explain some things to them unless she wants them to think that she is going insane.

I'm getting highly unpleasant vibes from the upcoming "activation." I haven't managed to struggle through the series, but I know that Kyoko Zeppelin Soryu is not exactly...unified in opinion. And I have a feeling that everyone's favorite Red head is going to get quite a nasty shock...

Brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen, the dark times are upon us. If anyone has a supply of Galaxy minstrels...now is the time.

Well, if we're getting the canon split soul Kyoko (and I can't see a reason why the story should diverge on this point) things will definatly get nasty. Now the question is how much time will Asuka have with her mother, to register the full amount of damage to Kyoko's soul, before Ritsuko pulls the emergency brake. Or if Kyoko will go "Now we can be together forever." and absorbs Asuka into Unit 02.

If Asuka doesn't get absorbed she'll probably be devastated by Kyoko's split soul, but she will have Shinji and Rei to catch her.
If she does get absorbed it would not only be devastating for Shinji and Rei. But, with first Hikari and then Asuka getting absorbed people inside NERV might start feeling (more) uncomfortable about the EVAs and the practice of using child soldiers, even if it is to save the world. And even though IIRC Asuka is quite expendable in Seele's scenario, they'll probably still want to know what the hell is happenening when another pilot gets absorbed.

Good lunacy though.

Kyoko: "Fuck's sake, Yui! You promised kittens. There have been no kittens."
Asuka: "Yui? Shinji's mother?"
Kyoko: "Ah. Whoops. Well, cat's out of the bag now... Yeah, it was Yui's idea to try this. Where is she anyway?"
Asuka: "Um. Inside Unit-01."
Kyoko: "All of her?"
Asuka: "As far as we can tell."
Kyoko: "... ... BITCH SET ME UP!"
 
Ariel: *invades Rei's mind* .... I am here to see this ...Princess Bride.
Rei: ... What?
Ariel: And all the Animes. We could have gotten cable, but noooooooooooooo...

What do you mean "talk down"? Rei might very well hit "Give her back!" mode, and if Shinji and Rei do that at the same time, I will be watching from far away. I hear Andromeda is lovely this time of epoch.

"My name is Lilith. You have taken one I love. Prepare. To. Die."
(And yes, Chapter 9 has made it very clear Rei knows she's Lilith; forex the 'My children will live!' line.)

I give up. I tried to fight 'Ritsuko and Maya flirting over the MAGI', but the scene wouldn't go away. At least I managed to tone it down from solid yuri WAFF into something at least a little character and plot helping. 900 words already down. Update by Friday, though it may be sooner if I can get the other scenes that have to go with it done. That means at least a couple: Asuka's side of things & the reaction in the control booth.

Preview? Don't mind if I do!

'This is not going to be easy, now or later' Ritsuko thought to herself.

She made herself look up at the monitor above the observation window into the Test Cage. If she looked down, she'd have to peer over Maya's shoulder like she used to, and that would make it all but impossible to avoid a smile threatening to break out on her face.

The last few days had been equal measures exhilarating and terrifying. She and Maya had managed to 'have dinner' every night. Ritsuko had taken to carrying around the slightly bulky hand terminal she sometimes used for MAGI access because that meant she and Maya could constantly talk privately through the coding logs.

And talk they did. She'd tried to slow things down, tried to remind herself she was still rebounding from Gendo's mistreatment, her own emotional crash, and near suicide. It had crumbled before Maya's argument that they'd known each other for almost two years, that Ritsuko had known about Maya's crush on her for most of that, and that the two of them starting whatever they were starting was merely a small change of status.

Ritsuko fought down another strong urge to grin. This was intoxicating. For all the years she'd spent throwing herself at Gendo, and all the times she had honestly moaned in lustful physical pleasure under him, for he did hit a lot of her buttons, she knew perfectly well she'd never felt even a scrap of emotional involvement from him that she hadn't imagined up out of nothing. But with Maya… She couldn't even look at her without smiling, and know she'd find the younger woman smiling right back. She knew, knew Maya liked to see her and wanted to be around her. She'd spent the last few nights staying up way too late, messaging back and forth with Maya until neither of them could stay awake.
