The Angels are gone. NowWhat
By Gregg Landsman, the author of ''Fanfic/NobodyDies'', ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5528503/1/NGE_Walking_in_the_Shadow_of_Dreams Walking in the Shadow of Dreams]]'' once again takes ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' and tweaks one or two things to make an interesting WhatIf. Using a snippet by the creator of ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry'' as a launching point, Landsman takes us to a world where Third Impact was rejected in a stunning but well-written fashion, and we open with a Shinji and Gendo that actually have some common ground sparring as a lead-in to Gendo offering Shinji a job as NERV's Chief Inspector. His first assignment -- go fetch the new head of Project E.
[[MagnificentBastard Gendo being Gendo]], even now, he neglects to tell his son the recruit is a certain red-head...and that their new head scientist is bringing her daughter...
As with a certain other fic linked above, Landsman uses NGE as a lens to explore family, dysfunction, and coping...but uses a LighterAndSofter touch than canon to do it. Still, one gets the impression from word one that this is a world where you must EarnYourHappyEnding.
It's also the fic that solidified Landsman's characterization of Lilith, and by extension Rei, as having an [[BabiesEverAfter insatiable drive to procreate]].[[note]][=BabiesbabiesbabiesbabiesbabiesbabiesbabiesBABIES=]. '''''Babies.'''''[[/note]]
Although it only has sixteen chapters, they are worth the read. Landsman has also posted [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6018100/1/NGE_Walking_in_the_Shadow_of_Dreams_Ver_2 a rewrite]] of this fic, which moves more slowly, expands the plot, and has incorporated [[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Mari Makinami]] and other characters which weren't in the original.
