I'm so confused....
Naoko is alive...
Asuka is older??? Or not? Implications say yes, buuuuuut...
Who's going to pilot the other eva?
Does Rei even exist?
Drifting on a raft in a calm sea of confusion, surrounded by sharks of questions and little to no breeze of knowledge to save me...
I'm sure it'll be made more clear later, but it is rather disconcerting. So far the story itself is good though.

It's definitely interesting. All these changes, yet having the same overarching aspects makes me very curious indeed.
If PCHeintz72 drops in, he'll probably be quite satisfied with how Misato is so far.
Given Asuka doesn't know about the Evangelions, I'm amazed she's likable enough by her superiors, or old enough, to reach Lieutenant. I suppose her intelligence is sufficient.
Huh, looks like training before the first battle is actually in the cards; though it remains to be scene if useful it actually is. Given less people are in the loop, I wonder how effective all the staff is going to be in the future.

Hmmm... as one pointed out, I actually do like this Misato, or more accurately I like her characterization as being more realistic.
An older and intelligent Asuka would have to question the oddities of the situation... Why was he only being contacted in the last few weeks. Why is he known to be a pilot when he obviously was not through any testing or knew of what Nerv did except its existence... Why the lack of training... etc...
Probably most damning of all, when was he actually *asked* if he wanted to do it. In the original series of events, there really was no chance for anyone to think of this last since they were pretty much about to be stomped on...
Basically... he is being illegally conscripted still, but there is no longer the pressing need for the conscripting since there is no attack.
He could have made them look like fools by simply saying no...
I'll have to see more before deciding to like or not like this one...

I realise that I need to go into some of the details as to why Gendo chose now to bring Shinji in. In canon, he had the immediacy of the situation to convince Shinji to pilot.
In this one, that's not the case.
I also need to decide what to do with Ritsuko, Kaji and Maya. If they're even in this story. There's no Rei, and there may or may not be a Kaworu (I haven't thought that far ahead).
If anyone has any comments, questions or suggestions, then you know how to contact me.

I like how Gendo has to ponder the possibilities of a canon Asuka. It should probably come with a shudder by the Bearded Bastard just for the lulz.
"Needs another method of control..."
That really should come with ominous music. Or a box of condoms for Shinji; whichever method of 'control' you decide to employ: Getting whipped by the stick, or being led around by it.
I look forward to more of this story.

I like to mix things up with my various <s>stories</s> bouts of nonsense.
I tend not to focus on Asuka and thought that it might be better to do so in this one.
Or something.
As for fresh content, I do have other scenes, but they're out of sequence and I don't know when I'll get around to writing the intervening bits so that they make sense (and I'm showing you what happened, rather than telling you in flashbacks or conversations).

Considering some of the changes people make to a universe *cough* Highschool fics* cough* and claim its still in the setting, I can't see how you changing some ages and premises would make it stop being NGE. After all, you still have the giant robots and hopefully soon monsters.
Premise is interesting enough, increased weight on Shinji due to failure of cloning, which is understandable, and Asuka being born too early.
Small changes beget big changes.
Want to see where you take this, it could go in a number of different ways and whatever you choose should prove entertaining.
