What are your favorite "Asuka and Shinji know each other since early childhood" (preferably A/S shipping) stories? I'd like some... research suggestions. *bored and without access to a PC*

The only A/S childhood stuff I've seen in fics is a couple bits stating that e.g. they once played together. Which became my headcanon.

Oh, and Amarantos.

General meming and shitpost-like behavior instead of discussion on the story and its elements.

Speaking of, does anyone feel like this is just a rehash of earlier conversations between the two? Where's Rei's anger at the (in-character and sensible) callousness at Kaworu's life? In her shoes I'd be livid given their newfound comraderie, though I understand she's still in a very great deal of pain and so probably isn't super coherent.

Drugged to the gills - or did you miss the last update?

I don't know that she or Shinji or Asuka could really get any angrier at Gendo.
 
Shinji hasn't actively pushed Unit-01 into berserking yet, so I'm inclined to agree with grimlock here.

Rei is actively concealing her anger here, and not quite telling Ritsuko what she's thinking about the Rainbow Trout either.

Considering Gendo's upper half is still connected to his lower half, and he hasn't been divested of his flesh with potato peelers and then rolled in lemon-soaked sulphur salts, I'm fairly certain that there's -quite- a bit of room on the dial left for these three in particular before it gets anywhere near '10', much less the coveted '11'.

You are a sadistic monster with an evil imagination.
I like that.
Let's be friends.
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again. There's nothing you could do to Gendo that could be worse than giving him exactly what he wants and leaving him to try to explain himself to Yui.
 
How... inelegant.
Hook him into a virtual reality, and play your best Grey Area impersonation.

But...but...the blender...

Couldn't we have the best of both worlds? We could blend half of him, then let the rest of him explain himself to crazy psycho bitch (ahem) I mean...Yui...
 
Easy on the 'tormenting Gendo' stuff, people. I'd like to be able to update tonight without having to ask one of my fellow Moderators to eyeball things.
Yes, there will be an update tonight.
 
2400 words down, going to finish 1-2 more scenes before posting.

Lacking a ball to bounce off the far wall, Shinji contented himself with humming parts of the main theme of the 15th Birthday Concerto. There wasn't anything else to do in his dimly lit cell. He'd done his best to clean off the remaining LCL coating his plugsuit with toilet paper and the tiny sink, but even that effort had only occupied him for less than an hour. Now he was starting to get hungry. And bored. And…

"Fuck, I miss Asuka," he whispered to the empty cell.

How many hours had it been already? He took a look at the tiny readout on his plugsuit's wrist: 1918. Well past dinner time. Were they even going to bother feeding him? He wouldn't put it past his asshole father to-

The cell door rasped and slid open, the fluorescent lights of the corridor almost too much after the weak light in his cell. He covered his eyes and tried to see who had come.

"This had better be the last time I have to do this, Pilot Ikari."

That depends far too much on what kind of person Yui is. And a facet of that is that she is kind of a mad scientist herself, so...

Now, EVA-01 leaving the solar system forever, so that not only Yui is dead, but her very soul is out of reach forever...

...though after he has contemplated on that for a few days, I still vote for a, err, creative execution method.
