I havehad little knowledge of or interest in Evangelion, yet this fan fic sank its claws into me so deep I was compelled to do little but read it for three days straight as I watched an unfamiliar world slowly change into one I knew intimately. It basically operates under the thesis that Anything + Warhammer 40,000 = Awesome, and is entertainingly successful. So Eva Unit 01 + W40K = Principio Eternus: "The enemies of man will die, by my hands they shall be broken." Shinji, allegedly one of the greatest pusses of all animedom + W40K = a mixture of Captain Carrot and Paul Atreides. Creepy dead-eyed child Rei + W40K = something too hilariously awesome to spoil. Sure, some may cry Marty Stu or Plot Derailment, but it's a fun what-if scenario with enough Genre Savvy and pop-culture references to counteract the occasional spelling error. Highly recommended: the prologue alone is marvelous, and it actually made this troper reflect upon how much an impact the game had on his own development.
