The Angels are gone. Now What?By Gregg Landsman, the author of Nobody Dies, Walking in the Shadow of Dreams once again takes Neon Genesis Evangelion and tweaks one or two things to make an interesting What If?. Using a snippet by the creator of The Second Try as a launching point, Landsman takes us to a world where Third Impact was rejected in a stunning but well-written fashion, and we open with a Shinji and Gendo that actually have some common ground sparring as a lead-in to Gendo offering Shinji a job as NERV's Chief Inspector. His first assignment — go fetch the new head of Project E.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Gendo being Gendo, even now, he neglects to tell his son the recruit is a certain red-head...and that their new head scientist is bringing her daughter...As with a certain other fic linked above, Landsman uses NGE as a lens to explore family, dysfunction, and coping...but uses a Lighter and Softer touch than canon to do it. Still, one gets the impression from word one that this is a world where you must Earn Your Happy Ending.It's also the fic that solidified Landsman's characterization of Lilith, and by extension Rei, as having an insatiable drive to procreate.note BabiesbabiesbabiesbabiesbabiesbabiesbabiesBABIES. Babies.Although it only has sixteen chapters, they are worth the read. Landsman has also posted a rewrite of this fic, which moves more slowly, expands the plot, and has incorporated Mari Makinami and other characters which weren't in the original. The SpaceBattles.com forum threads about the rewrite are here and here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Tropes: | |

Walking in the Shadow of Dreams (Fanfic) / int_1c5599e4 | comment |
Reformed, but Rejected: Asuka has to deal with this in the rewrite. She's cleaned up her act since her rather spectacular meltdown 8 years prior, but the majority of the cast (sans Shinji) don't believe she has changed, particularly Rei who makes it abundantly clear that she detests Asuka. | |

That Didn't Happen: Subverted in the rewrite. Shinji and Hikari both agreed (the next day) that their one night stand was a mistake, and Hikari and Toji got back together soon after and are happily married in the fic's present day. However, neither really regrets that it happened, Hikari basically throws herself at Shinji in ch. 6 when she's drunk, and Shinji has to make an effort to control himself enough to resist her. Shinji and Misato do not talk about the kiss she gave him before TI. Not ever. | |

Artificial Human | |
Walking in the Shadow of Dreams (Fanfic) / int_1ee0948e | comment |
Artificial Human: In the original fic Ariel was found in a subsection of the NERV-germany branch which was filled with unfinished dummy-plugs that were genetically based half on Asuka. Because she's biologically her daughter, Asuka decided to take her in and raise her as such. In the rewrite, But I Can't Be Pregnant! / Surprise Pregnancy: Asuka actually gave birth to Ariel, but she has no idea how it happened. Apparently, she woke up one morning and found herself magically pregnant. For obvious reasons she suspects that NERV or AT Field tomfoolery had something to do with it, but because Ariel turned out to be a normal kid, she decided to raise her. | |

Go Through Me: In the rewrite, to reassure Asuka's fears about the possibility of the Commander screwing up with her and her daughter much like NERV and SEELE screwed up with Kyoko and Asuka herself, Misato swears to Asuka that the Commander would have to go through her. It was a very heart-warming moment, especially given how Misato felt about Asuka early on the fic. | |

And she went on doing it until she got attacked by Arael. In that moment all of her self-deceiving vanished and she crumbled down. | |

The changes in Instrumentality that form the backstory of Walking are a result of the butterfly effect of the interactions of the canon NGE cast with the characters from Nobody Dies that were dropped there by that fic's version of Leliel. | |

Shipper on Deck: Gendo. It's scary how easily he can manipulate events to get his son and Asuka back together despite of all what had happened in the series and in the next years. Then he reveals long before meeting Yui he had promised Kyoko he would make things worked for his and her children, but he had forgotten. Makes you wondering what might have happened if only he would have remembered about it during the series... | |

Do NOT threaten anyone the Ikaris consider family. This trait, in fact, is why Third Impact didn't go off as it did in canon. Seeing his wife as the manipulator she is in this verse, Gendo gets around his idealized image of her somewhat — to the point he has his metaphysical fingers at her throat and is ROARING, "God damn you, get away from MY SON!" | |

Arael also gets his metaphorical hands on another character: Gendo, who's raked over the coals so viciously that the first thing he does afterward is to stumble back to his office, take a revolver out of his desk drawer, and start playing Russian roulette with it.

Love Hurts: Shinji has been hurt by everyone whom he loves: his abusive father, his crazy mother, his neglectful surrogate mother, his life's love... Shinji's inability to notice her hints, lack of parental and friend supports -and her own trust issues- led to Asuka having a massive breakdown and becoming a psychological mess. Gendo loved Yui so much that he would kill everyone for her... until he realized that she was completely unhinged. | |

Love Dodecahedron: In the original, Gendo revealed to Shinji that he and and Kyoko dated for a while before he met Yui and she returned to Germany and met Asuka's father. In Chapter 6 of the rewrite, a very drunk Hikari tries to put the moves on Shinji. This leads to the reveal that while they were in college, Hikari sought out Shinji for comfort after a break-up with Toji, and it turned into a torrid one night stand. As a result, it's a distinct possibility that Hikari's oldest child is Shinji's and not Toji's. Gregg's not saying one way or the other. | |

Meet the In-Laws: In the original story, Asuka's father and stepmother visited Nerv Japan and met Shinji. Asuka's father punched him accidentally, and Gendo fired him and pushed him in a LCL pool. In the rewrite, Asuka's father punched Shinji upon meeting him. Then they talked and got along reasonably well. | |

Workaholic: Gendo. He works hours and hours nonstop. NERV staff rumored in reality he is a vampire that feeds on coffee. In the rewrite, Misato had to blackmail him with calling his wife if he did not leave the premises and go home. | |

Love Confession: In chapter 5 Asuka comes home drunk. She lunges at Shinji and kisses her. When he tries to stop her because he think they should not do this as she is plastered, Asuka cries out nobody wants her. Shinji tells he does. | |

The Atoner: Gendo is making a genuine effort to be this — although Gendo being Gendo, his chosen avenues tend to be complex and questionable in nature. Yui—and later Kyoko—also count. In the rewrite, Asuka's father, Director Langley, is also trying to be this. He's having mixed success. | |

Then he remembers what he was said about her past and about all psychological issues and deep trauma they knew she had but did nothing about, and reflects that girl was never real. | |

Other Me Annoys Me: In the rewrite alternate, younger versions of Shinji and Asuka (from after the events of the End of Evangelion) have wound up in this universe alongside their older counterparts (see Crossover above). While they have yet to meet, some sample material the author has written has shown that Younger and Older Asuka are prone to bickering like a mother with her teenage daughter. The two Shinjis seem to get along pretty well, but the author has implied that they will have a little of this as well. | |

Freak Out!: Asuka had a massive meltdown about 8 years prior to the start of the story, which destroyed Misato's living room and put Shinji in the ICU; She fled to Germany the same night. The reason for her fit? Shinji asked to take her on a date. It was an ugly mess to be sure; lots of bridges were burnt, her relationship with Misato was destroyed, and Rei developed a pretty serious grudge against her because of it. Shinji forgave her however. | |

Mind Rape: Asuka survived one in the original series... and then she met Arael again. Unfortunately she was able to resist it this time. However her mother also was attacked by Arael. Arael also gets his metaphorical hands on another character: Gendo, who's raked over the coals so viciously that the first thing he does afterward is to stumble back to his office, take a revolver out of his desk drawer, and start playing Russian roulette with it. Rei telekinetically blows the gun out of his hand before he can shoot himself. | |

Karma Houdini: Do you remember the Third Impact? Gendo does not seem to have faced legal consequences for abetting to commit global genocide (although technically everybody were restored. But still...). Moreover, he still is supreme commander of NERV, and since all SEELE members are dead, he can now make anything he wants without them interfering or hindering him. Greg's addressing this in the rewrite. Gendo's the head of NERV-1 which technically makes him the supreme commander of NERV as a whole. However, there are 7 other NERV branches around the world which operate more or less independently of each other in sort of a checks-and-balance system...in theory, at least. Gendo is still Gendo. And as to why he's still the head of of NERV-1? He was apparently reinstated due to the Second Angel war, and as Greg explains: | |

Walking in the Shadow of Dreams (Fanfic) / int_a7ba94de | comment |
Inferiority Superiority Complex: Asuka fabricated an arrogant façade to hide her huge self-esteem issues. After the War, though, she was so burn-out and humiliated that she couldn't keep up their façade anymore. | |

Scars Are Forever | |
Walking in the Shadow of Dreams (Fanfic) / int_ad94c7a0 | comment |
Scars Are Forever: Asuka again, and once again Shinji finds her scars attractive. Interestingly rather than actual scar tissue, she seems more to have had the wounds heal but take on the appearance similar to Rei's. Her destroyed eye is now red, and her many stab wounds were replaced with patches of albino colored skin. Shinji has a scar on his chest from when the Lance entered Unit 01's core during Instrumentality. | |

Broken Bird | |
Walking in the Shadow of Dreams (Fanfic) / int_d08595d3 | comment |
Broken Bird: Asuka. Hoo boy, where to start. The events of Instrumentality ripped her pride to shreds and left her an absolute wreck. While the rest of the cast began to pick up and move on with their lives, her bitterness, resentment, and sense of self worth steadily grew worse and worse, culminating in a violent meltdown 4 years later (see Freak Out!). She fled back to Germany after the breakdown and spent the next few years rebuilding her life and recovering from her ordeals. She's mellowed out considerably since then, but is still rather bitter towards her old life, and convinced that everyone she knew back in Tokyo-3 hates her guts and/or sees her as a pitiful wreck of a human being. | |

Walking in the Shadow of Dreams (Fanfic) / int_d62dd556 | comment |
Greg's addressing this in the rewrite. Gendo's the head of NERV-1 which technically makes him the supreme commander of NERV as a whole. However, there are 7 other NERV branches around the world which operate more or less independently of each other in sort of a checks-and-balance system...in theory, at least. Gendo is still Gendo. And as to why he's still the head of of NERV-1? He was apparently reinstated due to the Second Angel war, and as Greg explains: | |

Mama Bear | |
Walking in the Shadow of Dreams (Fanfic) / int_e13156e1 | comment |
Mama Bear/ Papa Wolf: Do NOT threaten anyone the Ikaris consider family. This trait, in fact, is why Third Impact didn't go off as it did in canon. Seeing his wife as the manipulator she is in this verse, Gendo gets around his idealized image of her somewhat — to the point he has his metaphysical fingers at her throat and is ROARING, "God damn you, get away from MY SON!" According to Greg this is the reason behind Asuka's initial hostility towards Shinji; she fears that geting involved with NERV again will destroy her daughter's life (as it did to her.). Word Of God also tells that "If anyone ever tried to put Ari in an Eva, that person would find that Yui was quite restrained in protecting her child compared to Asuka." And then there's Rei, who, besides trying for a family of her own, has taken a shine to Asuka's daughter Ariel.Two hours of quality time follows. Gendo lampshades it, blatantly stating it is embarrassing when he can be considered the best parent in the room. And even though Yui or Kyoko are disappointed with their offspring not following their wishes, they still can be scary when someone is threatening them: Misato's mother also can count in the rewrite. Misato told Shinji if Gendo ever slightly pisses her off, her mother will geld him with her bare hands. In the rewrite, Pieter Langley is trying to make up for being a terrible father, and he has become a Papa Wolf in the process. He has gotten into a screaming match with Misato, punched Shinji and told Hikari off so far. | |

Me's a Crowd: Apparently, instead of being dissolved by Ritsuko, the Dummy Plug Cores escaped into Tokyo-3 and dispersed; each with an uploaded copy of Terrifying!Rei's personality. One is Gendo's secretary, a few work in the Geofront, at least one is a neighbor to Shinji, one has a movie career in Europe. and at least four went to college with Shinji and Rei. These are just the ones that Greg has listed off; there are about three dozen of them out there. Oh, and only Gendo, Ritsuko, and Rei know about this. | |

Crossover | |
Walking in the Shadow of Dreams (Fanfic) / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: The changes in Instrumentality that form the backstory of Walking are a result of the butterfly effect of the interactions of the canon NGE cast with the characters from Nobody Dies that were dropped there by that fic's version of Leliel. In the rewrite, younger versions of Asuka and Shinji from the end of End of Evangelion have wound up in this universe alongside their older counterparts, likely for the same reasons. | |
