The Hatedom is probably going to roast me on a stick for this recommendation, but I would go so far as to call Exodus one of the very best Eva fics you could possibly read so long as you're looking for Lighter And Softer reconstructions. Fans of the original Eva's tone should steer clear, though, as should anyone who has allergic reactions to Marty Stus; I'm part of the crowd that says DJ is a deconstruction of the Stu, but he does come across as rather overly perfect for several chapters before the fic starts to Grow The Beard.
