	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.

	Yeah, whatever.
	Let's keep some perspective here.  This is the realm of fanfiction,
wherein the authour is free to explore whatever possibilities come to mind
without fear of reprisal (which is the signature of a narrow mind).  If you
don't like something, no problem; do _not_, however, dare to tell someone
else 'don't write this' - doing so is an act of supreme arrogance.
	That said, more power to anyone who can put this idea to good execution!
