"Like Bombs deployed! Targeted for maximum effectiveness!"

It took me practically a month (mostly because I have college stuff), but I finally clawed my way through it all ("all" includes the posts between the story posts). Good stuff, Strypgia. Good stuff.

...And it looks like I got here right before everything goes to shit...

Oh, and before I forget, Cae Lumis and Large Marge sent me!

...what do mean Large Marge is dead?

*Unearthly cackling in the distance*

Welcome to the asylum! (and when they pulled her body from the twisted, burning wreckage...)
 
Crack fic ideas aside, if Rebuild is Shinji's attempt at fixing NGE canon, why would he start up a fledgling romance with Rei? Wouldn't greeting Asuka with open arms be more in-line with a fix-fic taking to reality?
 
Chew on this little equation for a moment.
LaTeX:
\[\frac{i}{0}\]
Lemme know how that works out for you...:evil:

You do realize that there are mathematical equations for dividing by zero? And that the square root of minus one being incalculable is more of a current limitation of our bio-logical mathematical circuits than an actual incalculable equation? Why on earth would you assume that Arael would have a problem with that piece of division?
 
Lamentors best Chapter.
I liked the pre-Horus Heresy novels conception of the Alpha Legion the best. IIRC, they were renegade but not Chaos before the novels repenned them. Now... eh, Chaos sucks, so I suppose I'll have to stick with loyalists. The Salamanders are nice, just a bit too obsessed with their artifact hunt. And closing in the "former Legions with unusual tactics" column, the Raven Guards. Oh, and the Space Wolves telling Gulliman to GTFO, of course.

Because Rei/Shinji OTP? :p Seriously, your argument only works if you pre-assume Shinji wants A/S. Plus, Rebuild!Shinji clearly has no recollection of any previous loop, so even if he wanted, he could not have "greeted Asuka with open arms".

Why would Arael be doing any kind of division? We're the ones with the Fruit of Knowledge.

No love for the Blood Ravens?

So Rebuild!Shinji is ALSO an idiot for trying to fix-fic when he doesn't have prior knowledge?

Ignoring that, Shinji canonically DID want A/S, I'm not pre-assuming anything.

Not to negate that, you're right that he was 14 and exposed (heh) to attractive girls really for the first time in his life, but it was Asuka's death and Asuka's rejection (or his hallucination of her rejection) that well and truly broke him in EoE. Misato was never really an option outside vague fantasies when he's aggravated by Asuka's hostility and Rei's aloofness, and NGE-Rei is... NGE-Rei.

I don't mean to deny his attraction to any of the girls (again, heh), but realistically speaking even in his state I can't imagine he ever thought about anyone but Asuka in those terms.
