    Summary

    "The strained silence ever-present in his house; his parents, co-stars in a fraught, almost antagonistic relationship who only tolerate each other to keep the show going; and he, a child with no drive, no wants, no emotions. A puppet to complete the illusion. A boy who stops existing when he’s no longer needed.

    It’s easy to follow the path set for him by his father. His mother had, almost immediately after giving birth to him, rejected the responsibility of raising him, after all. Legacy secured, job done. But his father, shallow as it was, still expected things of him."

    Douno Cheung is not a real person. He's just an empty shell, a vessel for his father's expectations. He views his own life mostly from the outside. A character study of my own original character who takes Misato's place in this Evangelion AU, up until the start of the show.

    Summary

    The site seems like a pretty standard military base, concrete and brick and barbed wire. There are some airstrips in the vicinity, too, outside the chain link fences. Cheung probably works here, since he’s supposed to be a military captain or something. I have no idea why he signed up for it, I’m already depressed just thinking about having to come to a place as dreary and hostile as this all the time.
    I can see why my mother set up here, it matches her perfectly.
    Cheung silently leads me through the compound, to a red door made of thick metal where he swipes a keycard and punches in a code. I can’t stop myself from running my fingers along the sharp plastic edges of my visitor lanyard - if whatever is behind here is important enough to require this much security, why would my mother want me to have any part in it?

     

    A slightly-to-the-left interpretation of Neon Genesis Evangelion (TV) with my own original characters.

    Stel Douglas, a completely normal teenager, is summoned Corsham, Wiltshire, to be part of an exclusive team of giant robot pilots in the fight against an alien threat, under orders of Ezra Douglas, Stel's own mother.

    Summary

    Goro stared into his coffee, small bubbles swirling in the even beige liquid, following his spoon as he pushed it around and around. He’d been staring for a while, assuring Sakura-san he was just letting it cool off so he didn’t burn his tongue, but he couldn’t be sure how long ago that was now. He raised the cup to his lips just as the door opened with a cheerful chime.

    “Honey, I’m home!”

    The milk in his coffee curdled on his tongue as the second most aggravating person in the world disrupted the cafe’s serenity. Goro turned and smiled, transforming his frustration into pep.

    “Don’t you have a girlfriend to use a line like that on?”

    Summary

    Demons have roamed the Earth since long before humans. Demons are ferocious, savage beings, devoid of emotion. Their existence is wholly devoted to survival and pleasure. When demons fight, one can absorb the other within it, taking its strength and abilities for itself. Now, demons have become able to merge with humans, gaining their ability for cooperation and adaptability.

    And, in some cases, a heart.

    Asuka Ryou finds out that humans no longer have the monopoly on love.

    Summary

    First, Ryou's father, the well-respected archaeologist Asuka Sousuke, comes at him with a knife and kills himself instead. Then when he moves back to Japan where he grew up, when he decides to reconnect with the one person he ever met he could call a friend, he’s informed the guy’s entire family died in some bizarre serial murder spree.

    It's a little suspicious, to say the least.

    Summary

    Ryuji ran his fingers through his hair, mussing up the carefully controlled chaos he gelled it in that morning. It was fucking stupid how the sterile white walls still gave him goosebumps, even when he was only visiting. It shouldn’t have taken his coward ass this long to finally try to catch up with the person who allowed him to do something worthwhile with his life for once.

    Summary

    "Lloyd. Let's stop him."
    "...Not 'Let's destroy him.'?"
    "I'm sorry. But I keep thinking, if only Mithos would stop what he's doing and apologize to those who've been suffering like Marble. An apology isn't enough for what he's done, but if he really did feel that way... I'd want to save him."
    "...If he really starts thinking that way, I won't stop you. But if he doesn't, I won't forgive him for hurting my best friend."
    "...I understand. I'm sorry, Lloyd. And... thank you."

    Mithos tries to convince Genis to join him at his side, by becoming someone the boy can't live without - but who's charming who, exactly?

    I want to make a bigger thing out of this but until I do my research and get an outline written up, this is just the groundwork. I did it. It's here: http://www.ao3.icu/works/11305167/chapters/25297422
