Re: Shinji and the Doctor
I think the parts that I love the most about these recent chapters is the back and forth dialogue between Leliel (or at least I think that's Leliel) and Shinji.
The Shinji in this story is a lot more adjusted than his original counterpoint, a lot more accepting of his flaws, and is able to call bullshit on his old values when even called out upon them.
In the old series, Shinji was so wrapped up with his faults and flaws (being called a "pervert", not having any value outside of Evangelion, making mistakes, or having to be "perfect" so he would have any value in the eyes of others.), that even IF he was perfect, it wouldn't be enough for him to not be paranoid of the people around him and how they would view him. Thankfully, due to the efforts of the Doctor and some healthy psychology, this Shinji now realizes that such views are immensely unhealthy and that it's natural for people to make mistakes. The trick is that you have to be willing to admit you made mistakes and work towards atoning for it, not wallowing in self-pity thinking that nothing you do will make anything better.
Heck, I'm detecting a bit of "Doctor-isms" in Shinji's dialogue, and that just makes me squee with joy seeing how Shinji has improved.

Hey, give him a break.
Greatness can't be rush. Take all the time you need philopoemen, we can be patient.

Re: Shinji and the Doctor
All of Episode 12 (minus some extras) is up now.
Edit: This episode really lays out my theory of Asuka and what makes her tick. I'd be curious to know what people here think.

Re: Shinji and the Doctor
What a good read, as usual. I swear, I've read everything up to the latest episode three times now; it's that enjoyable.

Re: Shinji and the Doctor
Are you still gonna update this? I'm really interested in how things are gonna go. I like your version of Shinji. The Doctor was pretty much like Shinji when he was just a boy back in Gallifrey, which is I think the reason why he ran away with his granddaughter.

Re: Shinji and the Doctor
Pretty odd place for a new user to this forum to start, I admit, but I’ve been putting this off for way too long ever since I first read this fic.
All in all, The Evangelion Error/Shinji & The Doctor has quickly come to be one of my all-time favourites in terms of fan fiction of any kind. I’ve read plenty here and there across various fandoms, but it should really be saying something when this fic has become the first I’ve read in its entirety (or at least of what there currently is of it) without becoming disinterested or bored at any point throughout. And overall, as an aspiring fanfic writer myself (although I did actually attempt one on AO3 in 2021, but ultimately it was scrapped just a few chapters in), this work serves as a profound example of how to successfully weave two different stories together while putting your own unique spin on it.
So philopoemen, if you ever read this wherever you may be nowadays – I certainly do hope you’ve been doing okay since you lasted updated the fic – just know that you have the full admiration of at least one person even over a decade on.
And for now, I’ll sign off this post with this I doodled in my sketchbook right before I go to sleep. Might do more of some of the scenes in this fic, maybe a full digital piece – but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.
