Today, we are gathered here to hold a mass burial for all the dead fics out there. As such, I, Exodite, shall attempt to give them a good ending, or at least, and ending that doesn't suck, for I, Exodite, am bothered by incompleteness.
Our first story, one that really stuck out for me, is Shinji Theater, 3268590, by gunman. Where it left off in 2008 is where Commander Ikari ordered Shinji out, but he could not be retrieved from the robot. I think a cross-dressing Gendo was in the works as well. Without further ado...
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The screen flickered to life yet again. This time, it was more sepia-toned, and what sounded like a Charleston tune was playing softly in the background. The attending audience got ready for another Shinji Cinematic Experience (TM). As the screen panned out, it showed Shinji wearing what looked like the most uncomfortable tuxedo in the world standing next to a Southern belle-esque Rei. As the screen panned out yet again, it showed the band, with Pen Pen the lead trumpeter. Another pan-out revealed...
((Is that...)), Real-world Ritsuko gasped.
((It must be)), Real-world Makoto continued.
It was... Gendo, wearing what appeared to be a trenchcoat. Suddenly, he took off his trenchcoat to reveal lingerie. As the room's occupants fled in terror, Gendo charged at Shinji, shouting "I loved you and you do this to me? I'll show you what happens to those who betray my love!"
((I don't even)) Real-world Misato commented.
Gendo had picked up his trenchcoat to reveal a shotgun.
((How did that fit?)) Asuka queried.
((Don't ask)), Shigeru responded from the floor.
Gendo shot once, and Rei fell to the floor.
((Yeah, this is fiction all right)) Maya snarked.
Gendo was now charging after a fleeing Shinji. As he nearly caught up with Shinji, he slipped and his shotgun fired directly at Shinji's back. As Movie!Shinji fell to the floor, the screen faded to black.
((Did Ikari-kun just... die?)) Rei spoke up for the first time. At that exact moment, Ritsuko got up and saw the moniter. "Shinji's waking up," she shouted suddenly. Everyone went to the Eva cages to pick him up.
And they all lived happily ever after...
At least, until Asuka got to him.
Fin.
[I, Exodite, decided to help gunman out a bit. It's nowhere near as cool as what he did, but his fic's dead and can't defend itself, so I, Exodite, decided to step in.]
