The Angels are gone. [[Now What?]]?
 
By Gregg Landsman, the author of ''[[Nobody Dies (Fanfic)|Nobody Dies]]'', ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5528503/1/NGE_Walking_in_the_Shadow_of_Dreams Walking in the Shadow of Dreams]'' once again takes ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)|Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' and tweaks one or two things to make an interesting [[What If]]. Using a snippet by the creator of ''[[The Second Try (Fanfic)|The Second Try]]'' as a launching point, Landsman takes us to a world where Third Impact was rejected in a stunning but well-written fashion, and we open with a Shinji and Gendo that actually have some common ground sparring as a lead-in to Gendo offering Shinji a job as NERV's Chief Inspector. His first assignment -- go fetch the new head of Project E.
 
[[Magnificent Bastard|Gendo being Gendo]], even now, he neglects to tell his son the recruit is a certain red-head...and that their new head scientist is bringing her daughter...
Line 12:
''Shadow'' seems to be on hold while Landsman works on its [[Troper Critical Mass|Troper Critical Massed]] [[Nobody Dies (Fanfic)|cousin]], but the sixteen chapters so far are worth the read.
 
Recently, Landsman posted the first six chapters of [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6018100/1/NGE_Walking_in_the_Shadow_of_Dreams_Ver_2 a rewrite] of this fic, which will move more slowly, expand the plot, and has incorporated [[Rebuild of Evangelion (Film)|Mari Makinami]] and other characters which weren't in the original. The [[Space Battles]].com forum thread about the rewrite is [http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=160332 here].

Line 68:
* [[That Didn't Happen]]: Subverted in the rewrite. {{spoiler|Shinji and Hikari both agreed (the next day) that their one night stand was a mistake, and Hikari and Toji got back together soon after and are happily married in the fic's present day. However, neither really regrets that it happened, and Hikari basically throws herself at Shinji in ch. 6 when she's drunk}}.
* [[There Are No Therapists]]: Averted (surprisingly enough). [[Word of God]] states that all the EVA pilots received therapy after the events of the Third Impact. It helped Shinji; Asuka, not so much.
* [[This Is Wrong Onon So Many Levels]]: Asuka says this word for word when {{spoiler|her daughter, Ariel, is getting her first chess lesson... from Gendo.}} Shinji wholeheartedly agrees.
* [[Title Drop]]: In chapter 9.
