FanficRecs Ultra Sonic 007's review
At only 20 chapters and 70,000+ words, this fic will only take the better part of an afternoon to read through. But it's worth it: the Angels have been replaced by actual deities of the Cthulhu Mythos. With regards to how this affects the battles...well, the horror is subtle and implemented well. The revision of Rei's character fits well with the atmosphere of fear and paranoia that always seems to lurk in the background (not to mention Gendo, especially with regards to how he treats Rei). For such a short story, it does a great job with the material offered, and the interaction of the Pilots makes for a good read. And the ending...by Cthulhu, the ending.
FanficRecs Very nice
An amazing story, great use of the characters (especially Rei). Some battle scenes are a bit weird, to emphasize the Lovecraftian weird minds of creatures. Because it is a Cthulhu story, almost all elements are reinvented from Sci Fi tropes into Mythos themes.
My favorite is (Big Spoiler!) Reiquarium being the main part of MAGI cluster.
Most text of the story is dialogue (makes it bit like ScriptFic), so if something is described, it is important.
Recommended of you are a Lovecraft or NGE fan. If you're fan of both this is a must.,
Also there is a Rebuild Version
