There's little for me to say other than READ THIS! but I'll try…
Basically, the fic seems to strike an almost perfect balance between the two franchises it's crossing over – a nice thing to have in any crossover. The psychological drama of Evangelion's plot dovetails nicely with the Tenth Doctor's personal struggles (it helps that this takes place after "The Waters of Mars").
One example of this is how the author has resisted the temptation to have Gendo Ikari be completely outclassed by the Doctor. The almost Worthy Opponent dynamic that exists between them is not only more entertaining ("NERV thanks you for your assistance with this matter, Doctor. If you enter this base again without my express permission, I do believe I shall have you shot"), but also makes things much more interesting.
And don't worry. There are plenty of moments where the Doctor's usual reaction to anything around him will make for funny lines and situations. Eventually, even Shinji can elicit this, as his "crazy day" demonstrates.
My only druther with this fic is that it does play up Asuka's more "bitchy" qualities, but in the grand scheme of things, it's only a minor gripe.
Fanfic Very nicely balanced and highly recommended!

All in all, a fic well worth reading!
