Evangelion Just a thought...

This is just an idea that's been bouncing around in my head for awhile so here, as a gift to all the little people (jk), I give to you my random fic idea of the week.

This is one of my attempts at trying to make a believable Shinji X Ritsuko and, if done correctly, I think could turn out well. *Official Story Pitch* Shinji finds himself growing closer to the least likely of people, one Ritsuko Akagi. Over a series of visits to her lab (for check ups, tests, or whatever, think up whatever reason you want, it could be anything from Shinji getting a disease and needing to go in for treatment to him just going in for his normal tests and physicals, be creative) and the subsequent conversations that are birthed from these visits. As Shinji grows to know Ritsuko he begins to understand the true horror of the monster that is his father and his own growing feelings towards a certain bottle-blonde. And just what does Ritsuko think about the new speculative eye she's turning on the Third Child as well as the thoughts she's been having about one-upping Gendo by doing the same thing he did to her and her mother by dumping him for his son. Must be Shinji X Ritsuko, no one-sided "Shinji likes Ritsuko but she does not return feelings". Also Ritsuko's feelings must be genuine, not just to get back at Gendo. So, good luck and god speed to all those up and coming authors out there and hope to see a story like this very soon.

Hmm. Could be good. Difficult? Yes, but definately original too. BTW, my friend challenged me to write a serious Ritsuko/Shinji story as well. I considered it, and might do it. One day. After I get through ALL the stories that are currently waiting to be updated.

Hope to see how this one turns out!

All the way from the beginning or is it enough if they're genuine at the end of the story?

They can become genuine at any point, it can start as revenge or whatever else you want, just so that by the end of the story she is genuinely in love with him and vice-versa. Is that a hint of interest I hear Hawk? I would definitely be looking forward to it if you took this one up.

Agreed. If Hawk picks it up, chances are it'll own.

Of course, we might need to wait until Doomsday for an update, but hey. It's worth it for quality. :lol:

I agree that more Shinji/Ritsuko fics are needed.

That said, I've tried to redress the balance with Doctor's Orders and The Emperor's New Angst. Not to mention one that starts out as a plot for revenge and ends up being a friendship between the two - Sausages, It was a Tuesday

I probably should point out that the first two are attempts lemons.
And they are good attempts. :D

I agree, Shinji/Ritsuko is gooooood. :lol:

Yah I think we ALL know just how much I love Shinji/Ritsuko. Oh and by the way glad to see you on here Lord Raa, I love all of your works and check your profile rather often for updates, though I must say the story I'm most eagerly awaiting an update for is "Don't Stop Me Now", I just love the dialogue in that story, it's hilarious, not to mention waiting for 'Lord Shinji' to be born, hehe. When do you think the next update is coming, if I can just get a general timespan that would be great, can't wait!

Well, it would seem that I have more good news for you - I'm writing some of chapter 3 of DSMN right now....

Ritsuko's just discovered what Shinji did to Rei at the end of the last chapter and she's not happy about it....

Woohoo! Glad to hear that, though I'm reading "Doctor's Orders" right now and it seems like that might be heading down the same road. Oh and I think you should continue the storyline that you had going in Ch. 6 of "Superhero Spam" (the one with Shinji as the emperor), I loved that story and thought it had some real potential for a full story, it was very original and I would love to see more, if anyone took the idea and ran with it I wouldn't mind getting a link for that either. Ooh, and glad to hear that the next chapter of DSMN is coming out, I'll be waiting for it. Hey you should put it up on here when you're done so that we can check it over for you before you put it up on FF.net as well, after all that's what this board is for.

I did continue the Superhero Spam chapter where Shinji became emperor - it's the lemon The Emperor's New Angst

Chapter 6 of Doctor's Orders seems a bit lighthearted at the moment, but I wouldn't worry about that too much: Gendo will "do his thing" and piss on everybody's fireworks before to long.

Ahh, I had just started reading that after I posted that comment so I was unaware at the time, and I've got no doubt that Gendo would have something to say about Shinji, Misato, and Ritsuko having a threesome, at the very least, though I hope it doesn't go all angsty angst on me, but I somehow doubt that you would do that, so all's good, just keep'em coming an' I'll be happy :lol: .

Okay... how about this.

An AU shinji/ritsu where our fav blonde doc works at an asylum and shinji is brought in for treatment for his condition (you could say that heÆs a disturbed kid or been abused or whatever). Ritsu starts to feel sorry for shinji and relationship grows.

I was thinking that ritsu might even have her own traumatic past. IÆm thinking a loveless relationship with Gendo :p

YouÆll have flash backs of shinjiÆs past which could include him being abused and taken advantage of by people in his life. For some reason I had this idea of misato being his guardian in the AU but they begin to act more than guardian / child. One day shinji comes home to find misato and kaji having a romp and some things are said about him. And I also pictured failed / violent relationships with Asuka and may be Mana.

Massive angst and multiple pairings here but primarily a shinji / ritsu. What do you guys think?

Hnn, if done correctly it could be good, because I always love using an asylum for my setting, but you'd have to be careful not to overplay the angst otherwise it would come off sounding cheesy, I know that it is supposed to be a darkfic and thus angst will abound but I wouldn't give Ritsuko too much troubles beyond her mother having killed herself and you might possibly want to cut the relationship with Gendo if you're still planning on making him Shinji's father, also for Shinji's 'bad past' I would try to keep to one line of thought as opposed to throwing in all the angsty ideas that you can think up to cram in there.

good point israfel... an overload of angst is possible here.

what about this, AU with misato / shinji pairing. misato a school councilor and shinji is sent to her for self esteem issues. It's revealed that gendo's new girlfriend has been using him as some what of an object because of her own problems with gendo.

misato is on the back end of a divorce with kaji and starting to develop a drinking habit.

they find solace in each other and slowly it develops into more than a councilor / student relationship.

Hey that doesn't mean you should drop the story, just be careful when writing it.

Hnn, I'm actually writing something similiar except it's set in canon-verse and has Ritsuko for the counsilor, since it would be pretty easy to justify her being assigned as Shinji's personal psychologist. But this sounds all right as well though the whole thing with Gendo kinda threw me, it was sort of a non-sequitar and didn't realy seem to fit in with what you were saying about the rest of the story, I'm not sure I quite understand, I thought it was a story about Misato and Shinji, why is a Gendo sub-plot being thrown in and I really can't see Gendo as the type to be objectified by his partner, I'd think he'd be more the type to do that rather than have that done to him. You're gonna have to clarify a bit more if you want me to give a full opinon. Oh and one more thing, when you press the 'Shift' key and type a letter it makes it capitalized, try using it every so often. Sorry, my inner grammar Nazi rears it's ugly head. :lol:

Okay Israfel. I'll try to use caps. I just have a habit of typing straight out and with just the full stops. :p

I was thinking that the Gendo and Ritsuko would have a similar relationship they had in the anime series. As a result Ritsuko would feel cheated and take her frustrations / anger out on Shinji. Which in turn added to emotional baggage that Shinji has to bare.

It's just one of the ideas bouncing around, so I don't intend to drop anything yet. But i'll prolly finish my two other EVA fics before start a new one.

Ohhhhh, I get it now! I hadn't quite understood what you meant in your first post but now I get it. Shinji would be living with Gendo and Gendo has a girlfriend, Ritsuko, and she's molesting/abusing Shinji because of her problems with Gendo and Shinji is seeing Misato the school counsilor for help and Misato is in the middle of a divorce with Kaji. Okay then I think that about covers it all then? Now that I understand what you mean I have to say, yah I really like this idea, it's been quite a while since I've seen one with Shinji and Gendo living together and I haven't seen anything like it before so I'd be pretty eager to see it, I like this a lot.

Thanks... I have to finish up other NGE fics first before even thinking about writing something like it.

But now if you read something similar, you know were they got the idea from :p
