Walking in the Shadow of Dreams/Funny

"Shinji: "This is your idea of family counseling?" he asks. Gendo: "You're the one who keeps going for my groin." Shinji: "And you keep trying to hit me when I'm down!""
 * Chapter 1: After a kendo training:

"Shinji: I can't believe you talked me into this. Gendo: As do I. Considering our history, I thought you would just stop listening to me after some point."
 * Later, after convincing Shinji to take the job.

"Shinji: "I f_ing hate you." Gendo: "I see." Shinji: "No, I really need to explain it. I need to quantify it. I f_ing hate you, Father. I f_ing hate you so much I can feel it starting all the way from my feet. I swear to God, when I get home I am getting in Unit 01 and I am going to make you beg for death.""
 * Father/son conversations are pure comedic gold in this fic. In chapter 2, Shinji calls his father:

"Finally, shakily, he raises a hand, closing it into a fist and pointing his thumb up.''' "Well, that settles it," he says, "There is a God.""
 * Rei reasoning wanting to shake her brother's "willow tree" is pretty lame compared with the crimes against God Yui Ikari commited.
 * The fourth chapter is a very serious chapter where basically Shinji and Asuka (and Asuka's Step-Sister) talk about The seriousness is broken up with brief look at Rei Ayanami's "Penthouse Magazine Date With Kensuke. Aida."
 * These parts are made even more hilarious since they essentially amount to little more than WHUMPA WHUMPA WHUMPA WHUMPA WHUMPA WHUMPA WHUMPA WHUMPA.
 * This is capped at the end with this:

"Asuka: "Stop that. I am going to hurt you if you quote the Commander during locker room sex!""
 * Misato and Asuka arguing how very, very wrong feels seeing Rei feeling maternal and acting like a Mama Bear.
 * Chapter 12 of the original fic:


 * Chapter 13: "I believe your wife would also like to take the opportunity to talk with you."
 * Gendo Ikari's Random Facts.
 * "It is said that the AT Field is not for keeping the soul in. It is for keeping Commander Ikari out."
 * After meeting Kaji,  states he looks like Shinji. Asuka laughes at the irony.
 * In the rewrite, one of the theories about why the Kaijus showed up and started attacking Tokyo-3 is they are a form of divine punishment for the fact that Commander Ikari remarried.
