* FandomBerserkButton: [[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/advice-and-trust-nge.8768/page-577#post-6633668 Don't make any jokes involving Rei and drugs, whether it be her taking them or forcing others to do so]].

* FandomBerserkButton: Don't make any jokes involving Rei and drugs, whether it be her taking them or forcing others to do so.

* IdiosyncraticShipNaming: This story came up with the "Israfel Special" nickname to refer to the Shinji/Asuka/Rei relationship.

* BetterThanItSounds: Two socially-inept teenagers and their friend take a level in badass because the former two somehow managed to not totally ruin their FirstKiss.

* MagnificentBastard: Rei is developing into one. She uses her genre-savvyness and new knowledge of emotions to scheme and manipulate people, and her puppets have no idea of what is really going on. For example, using hugs and a bunch of {{Double Entendre}}s she has convinced nearly all her female classmates (except Asuka and Hikari) that geeky, anime-obsessed- Kensuke is some kind of sex god and now Kensuke has a bunch of girls after him. So Rei killed several birds with one stone: stopping her classmates from harassing Shinji, angering Asuka and interfering with their relationship; and getting a friend of hers a girlfriend.

YMMV entries for ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'':

* {{Fanon}}:
** Nobody knows what kind of pills was Rei taking in the show. It is possible they were emotion-dampeners and suppressors, but it is not canon fact. And Strypgia is aware of it.

* ThePornomancer: Shinji Ikari's reputation at school. Due to some unfortunate unintentional innuendo from Rei, the rumour mill is running the belief that Shinji is sleeping with both Asuka and Rei, and is so good at it that Asuka is unwilling to get upset that Rei's getting in on it too, just that Rei failed to keep it a secret.

* AccidentalInnuendo: In chapter 6 Rei shares details of past battles with a classmate... but she accidentally phrases it in such a way it sounds like if she is describing the pilots' sex life:
-->'''Rei''':''"Since after the Fifth Angel, when he forced open my armor with his blade and burst into my Entry Plug. No one else had ever gotten to my core with such need. He was urgent and forceful. It... made me smile." The faintest hints of such an expression appeared on Rei's lips. "I would like to do it again. Maybe more than once."''

* MemeticSexGod: In universe, this has become Shinji Ikari's reputation at school. Due to some unfortunate unintentional innuendo from Rei, the rumour mill is running the belief that Shinji is sleeping with both Asuka and Rei, and is so good at it that Asuka is unwilling to get upset that Rei's getting in on it too, just that Rei failed to keep it a secret.

* OneTrueThreesome: {{Defied}}. Although she isn't entirely opposed to Shinji and Rei having some feelings for one another, Asuka is not up for having an [[UnusualEuphemism "Israfel Special"]] any time soon.

** To a lesser extent, but also in universe: Kensuke. Rei has been using him to experiment with things like experiencing hugs, or as a reference for what clothes do and don't work on her. However, due to more cases of suggestive phrasing in public, the rumour mill believes that Kensuke has to be particularly skilled at ''something'' in the bedroom, for Rei to turn to Kensuke for 'something that only he can provide'. This reputation, however, is being set up by Rei ''intentionally'' to puff up Kensuke's social standing.
