isn't any then I invite all eva writers there to explore this idea.
Invitation discarded.
Why? To be blunt, I find it a bit sick. They're fifteen years
apart in age; Misato's a mature woman, and Shinji's a kid. A serious
romantic relationship between them dives into some very questionable
things which could possibly get you arrested in some places. I know what
Anno did in the movie, and what he does throughout the entire series with
Rei, but those are just...moments. A real story about Misato and Shinji?
No.
I'm not one usually to discourage a certain type of fic; I do
regard the large volume of Rei-Shinji fics with some distaste (and guilt,
since I inadvertently inspired quite a few), but I'm not saying to stop
it. Something like this, though, I do advocate against. You could get into
far too much hot water with the likes of this.
