Shinji and the Doctor

''Isn't it obvious?... You and me, Shinji Ikari. We're going to save the world.''

Series Thirty and Three Quarters (also known as Shinji and the Doctor) is a Series/Doctor Who / Neon Genesis Evangelion crossover written by a troper known variously as philopoemen and machiavelli. One miserable, rainy day, fourteen-year-old Shinji Ikari meets a very odd man who calls himself the Doctor on a train. Unfortunately, something else has followed them on-board. That's when the screaming and the running starts... and when Shinji's life starts to change. Because the Doctor is in, and where he goes, chaos is sure to follow...

The series serves two purposes: first, it's an excuse to have the various unresolved questions and mysteries of the Evangelion universe investigated by a - let's say - uniquely qualified individual. Second, it gives Shinji a mentor figure who - while having his own issues - still brings a lot of experience to the table. The question is, will it be enough to change the destiny of humanity?

Inevitably Trope Overdosed, as the writer spends far more time on this site than is either healthy or sane.
