Shinji takes just the slightest different action when Asuka offers a kiss... and everything changes. Suddenly, they're no longer alone, and begin becoming stronger than they've ever been before. And from their new bond changes start to ripple out. The Angel War and the plans of SEELE and NERV will never be the same.

Four years after averting Third Impact, 18 year old Shinji Ikari heads to Tokyo University, leaving behind his life of NERV and EVAs. This is a story of the tribulations, complications and misunderstandings in the relationship of Shinji Ikari and Asuka Langley Sohryu.

Story that will focus on the Asu/Shi relationship, it will deviate from original canon after ep. 15 of NGE. It will also be a long process and they won't be shipped from very early on since they both have various issues/traumas to overcome, that being said if you enjoy build-ups you should stick around. First work of lit. so I appreciate any reviews.
