Not a feel-good fanfic, but despite being rough in places this one is worth a read, staying true to what I think to be the quietly broken, yet hopeful spirit of Evangelion. More importantly, I believe the author shows an excellent understanding of Asuka and Shinji's characters and their relationship. YMMV on whether it was better as a one-shot, the later scenes being more reminiscent of One Flew Over the Cuckoos nest than NGE, but don't let my words dissuade you. This is another one that, as always, you ought to read for yourself sometime.
