As in most stories not everything is necessarily shown, though; some have to be deduced. There is no reason to think she might have been excluded. In any case, this is Bagheera's fic, and he can choose to resolve uncertainties in the original as he sees fit. If you feel that another decision is preferable, that's fine - you could even consider writing your own fic to work through the consequences.

That, and wasn't Kyoko's soul kind of split in two? I don't remember how (or if) this fic reasoned putting a person back together with just a portion of their soul. Kinda curious now.

EDIT: Kind of ninja'd by PW. Would still like to hear from the author though.

The partial nature of Kyoko's soul is addressed in the fic, yes. Her appearance starts here and develops in later chapters.

I started reading this a few days ago currently on chapter 3 just wanted to say the writing in here is excellent and you really feel the tension in places and the fight between Misato and Asuka was so on point and its the argument I always felt the series was missing, I'm really looking forward to reading more.

Hy Bags, I've read your fic here and I found your concept of telling it in dates very original and intriguing. The more I followed, the more it made me read this till the very end. To witness Shinji's and Asuka's lives after 3I with the passage of time made me feel with them a lot. Congrats!

Okay so I read the whole story over two day and its really excellent I love that it doesn't shy away from the dark issues and I love that its one of those fanfictions that does bring up Asuka's body issues (Scars and such) because I could see body image being a struggle for her after 31. I also think you handled the sexual assault issue really well in this and the scene when Asuka sort of repeats the series in that she goes to the hotel room for a moment while reading I thought she was going to try to kill herself again but I loved that you showed her being able to get past that and move forward and the chapter with her birthday was really moving to read. Also her relationship with Shinji is really well handled and I liked that they had ups and downs but they got past it and grew as characters along with Misato who really goes the distance and becomes a really good guardian all in all an amazing and enjoyable read.

I think this is the best fanfic I've ever read!

The author is pleased to hear of your interest and flattered by your comment.

Since Bagheera has been banned from here and can therefore neither add to his story, nor correct any remaining errors (in the OP, the date May 18, 2022 should read March 18,2022), nor respond to comments, it has been rehosted elsewhere where he can do those things. As yet nothing is different, but any future changes or additions will happen there - he has more in mind, but no timetable.

Baggy, when the fuck are you going to update this bro? It's been dormant forever, you got writers block.

He's apparently been banned.

What the fuck? Why? He's such a prominent member here. Is he gone forever?

Took you a while to notice!

Wow, this is rather depressing. I mean, surely a PERMANENT ban to such a big contributor is excessive?

It's very sad to see people who have been a part of this community for years simply get banned/move somewhere else. Not really sure where I'm going with this... just doesn't feel right.

Lurker status gone I suppose.

As Ghosts of Evangelion is only available to be read in a somewhat inconvenient form (whether here or on my website), I have prepared a nice PDF of it for easier reading. Some remaining typos are corrected in this version as well, and it has Bagheera's approval. It even has a clickable index!

Thank you very much for this. I now feel tempted to read the thing over again in this new format

I also have a version with a few illustrations (from a review by Shadowjack on rpg.net); if I get permission to release it publicly, I will.
