Prologue and Explanation
If you really don't want to read this you don't have to, its not really needed, but I included it for some clarification. Its just boring junk you'll probably skip.
Ok, this fic is (hopefuly) a bit different from you average eva fic so i need to fill you in. This eva universe is not the one in the show. It's the one portrayed in the manga series. Now, you may say they're the exact same, but they aren't. Many minor and major details are both left out and added to the manga series. Also, the show obviously shows emphasis on the relationship between Shinji and Asuka. The manga however clearly shows a growing relationship between Shinji and Rei, cutting out a lot of the minor Asuka/Shinji hints shown in the show. It seems like Asuka is more in the backround within the manga, and while the Shinji/Rei relationship isn't supported in the manga as much as the Shinji/Asuka relationship is supported in the tv series, I still think its a much larger focus. For those of you dying for hints and implications between Shinji and Rei, I recomend reading the Manga. :-)
On another side note, as I said, I'm attempting to write this story according the events shown in the manga series. So many angels will be left out and unfimiliar scenes added. Also, you should realize i've only read the Korean version of the manga, which means I can only read up to the eighth book. The Korean installments haven't been very fluid so I don't know when the last few books will come out. I have seen the entire tv series, but I do not want to follow it strictly. Book eight ends with the return of Shinji after being absorbed into unit 01. After I get that far...ah...lets hope my imagination suffices...
now... ONTO THE FIRST CHAPTER!!!
