'''''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120408034633/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6038980/1/Points_of_Familiarity Points of Familiarity]''''', by [https://web.archive.org/web/20121017120003/http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1211674/Charles_Bhepin Charles Bhepin], is a crossover fic between ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' and ''[[The Familiar of Zero]]'', wherein Louise summons a [[Humanoid Abomination|post-Third-Impact]] Shinji Ikari as her familiar.

Like everything else produced from Charles Bhepin's pen, it's initially well written, epic and '''deeply weird'''. This version of Shinji [[End of Evangelion|is the last survivor after Third Impact and, apparently, the last living being on his Earth]]. His self-loathing is vast, his AT-Field is strong, and Halkeginia has ''no'' idea what just hit it.

As of chapter 6, Bhepin has declared the fic dead, spoiled the rest of this version of the story, and started work on a [http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=209481 rewrite], titled ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120408034610/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7620797/1/Surrogate_of_Zero Surrogate of Zero]'', promising "[[Word of God|A smaller scope, a tighter narrative, less innuendo.]]" Discussion threads for ''Surrogate'' at Spacebattles.com can be found [http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=209481 here] and [http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=212364 here].


{{tropelist}}
''See ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' and ''[[The Familiar of Zero]]'' for the tropes of those respective universes.''
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Shinji has a spectacular number of issues.
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]:
** Siesta believes this about nobles in general. 
** Count Mott actually is.
* [[The Atoner]]: Shinji.
* [[Badass]]: Tabitha challenges Shinji, then proceeds to battle him to a savage draw, because she did not take kindly to him hitting Kirche for ''any'' reason.
* [[Beehive Barrier]]: The AT-Field
* [[The Berserker]]: Shinji in combat, if he lets himself.
* [[Badass Boast]]: This is a Bhepin fic. Badass Boasts are guaranteed.
* [[Blood Magic]]: The production of the {{spoiler|Masks}}.
* [[Chef of Iron]]: Shinji.
* [[Child Soldier]]: Tabitha's background, apparently.
* {{spoiler|[[Death by Childbirth]]}}: It's strongly implied that the reason Shinji is completely alone before he's summoned is because {{spoiler|this happened to Asuka}}.
* [[Dead Fic]]
* [[Death Seeker]]: Shinji
* [[Eccentric Mentor]]: Old Osmond, apparently.
* [[Fingore]]: {{spoiler|Shinji severs one of his fingers and uses the bones as the raw material for the Angel masks}}.

* [[Mind Hive]]: The Well of Souls.
* [[Powers as Programs]]: Somewhat more literally than usual. ->''PROGRAM LOAD: Hokuto Shin Ke-''
* [[Rape as Drama]]: Played with, and then played straight. {{spoiler|Shinji offers himself (yes, in that way) to Count Mott in exchange for Siesta, but is turned down}}. Later, {{spoiler|Mott forces Siesta to give him a blowjob}}. 
* [[Sharing a Body]]: The Well of Souls consists of {{spoiler|every human that was alive at the moment of Third Impact}}. However, it is (hilariously) represented by the people closest to Shinji in life. Like [[Otaku|Kensuke Aida]].
* [[Shout-Out]]: Tons. 
** [[Tsukihime|'This chair this chair this chair.']] 
** After the duel with Guiche: 'That'll do, baka. That'll do.'

* [[Soul Power]]: AT-Field WTFHAX is thoroughly incompatible with Halkeginian magic.
* [[Take That]]: To ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'': "They have the Philosopher's Stone as a basic lesson. [[Equivalent Exchange]] my ass!"
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Kirche and Louise, after the Tabitha-Shinji Duel of Awesome.
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: Shinji is so far out of his mind [[Despair Event Horizon|with despair]] that he's practically come full circle back to sanity.
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Neither Shinji nor certain ... personages within the Well of Souls take kindly to Kirche's attempts at seduction.
* [[Your Approval Fills Me with Shame]]: The faction within the Well of Souls that is most willing to give Shinji unlimited power ... is led by Lorenz Keel.
