Heartwarming / A Shot of Tsundere in Your Ginger

• The ask-shinji-ikari Shinji is asked about what he likes about Asuka. Cue Shinji practically gushing like he's writing a love letter. It's too adorable for words. When Asuka finds his words, she is speechless.
• This:
  Q: Oh, well I could see why you would hate the commander [Gendo], most likely since he hates Shinji's guts, am I right? ;)
  Asuka: [blushes] What? o-of course not! Th-this and that have nothing to do with each other!
• Defending Misato, of all people.
  Q: Have you ever considered calling child protection services?
  Asuka: Look, even though Misato may be a drunk, obsessed with instant food, and morally challenged at times, she's the closest thing I have to family/sister/cousin/guardian. So no... I may bitch about her for being an idiot drunk, but she's my idiot drunk.
• This:
  Anonymous: Asuka, you're very good looking. It's actually kind of scary to think about how much of a knock-out you'll be when you're older.
  Asuka: [blushes and stammers] ...Thanks. (Shy Finger-Twiddling)
• Whenever Asuka gets along with people like Shinji, Rei, and Misato, considering how shaky these relationships are in the original canon.
