'''''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4673040/1/ And If That Don't Work?]''''' by Sunshine Temple is a ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' {{spoiler|and some ''[[Team Fortress 2]]''}} fanfic where with [[Mnogo Nukes|enough gun]], even an Angel can be destroyed, AT field and all, without an Eva. Of course, this tactic usually means wiping out a fair chunk of the surrounding area. And you definitely don't want your pilot and Operations Director getting caught in the blast.

Shinji rapidly becomes either [[OC Stand
▲Currently ''And If That Don't Work?'' clocks in at more than two hundred thousand words over a mere 11 chapters; it was started in 2008 and is still going.
▲Shinji rapidly becomes either [[OC Stand In|unrecognizable]] or more "natural". A bit of [[Author Appeal]] with the militarization of NERV and the way a certain character dresses. The [[Original Character|OCs]] are a lot of fun. By the same author is ''[[The Return (fanfic)|The Return]]'', a [[Ranma ½]]/SailorMoon cross which does much the same thing with those franchises.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Abusive Parents]] - Neither Gendo or Dr. Insana are ''hostile'' to their children, but it's hard to categorize their parenting to either as anything else.
* [[Alice Allusion]] - Shinju's got the hairband, [[Elegant Gothic Lolita|dress]], and morbid cuteness.
* [[Asteroids Monster]]:
** Israfel keeps splitting and doesn't stop until it numbers in the hundreds. Then they start using tactics, proving that, yes, the Angels are getting smarter.
** {{spoiler|Matarael}} uses a very similar tactic in its attack.
* [[Badass Adorable]] - [[Moe|Shinju]], [[Elegant Gothic Lolita|just]] [[Blood Knight|Shinju]]
Line 36 ⟶ 34:
* [[FemBot]] - [http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y44/sunshinetemple/FanArt_not_on_site/NigokikoplugsuitGlossy05.jpg Visually at least] Kiko straddles the line between this and [[Robot Girl]]
* [[First-Episode Resurrection]]
** See [[Cloning Blues]] above. As a result, Shinju ends up being more [[
** A couple chapters later the cycle restarts with Asuka [[Book Ends|seeing Shinju]] in her first scene and with Kaji seeing Misako. Apparently [[It Runs in The Family]].
* [[Flower Motifs]] - Shinju is sent an unusual bouquet in ch. 6. As a [[Genius Bonus]], {{spoiler|the flowers can all be negatively interpreted as Death, Revenge, Suspicion, and Loathing. This is a warning of Mikki's true intentions.}}
Line 53 ⟶ 51:
** Misato is mostly herself, {{spoiler|but she does refer to "Katsuragi" as another person.}}
** {{spoiler|And poor <s>Asuka</s> Kiko. Shinju even encourages her to give up on her old self.}}
* [[Mad Scientist]] - Given all the cloning, Angel-killing nukes, and the Evangelions themselves...seems to be a theme.
** It should be noted that the "sanest" one is an [[Expy]] of [[Team Fortress 2|The Engineer]] who designed and built a plane armed with a [[BFG|giant nuclear-powered Gatling rail gun]].
** Insana is after ch. 7 the undisputed king of this trope amongst the characters of this story.
Line 64 ⟶ 62:
* [[Nuclear Weapons Taboo]] - Very much [[Averted]], though the political (and other) fallout of using nukes keeps NERV in business.
* [[Nuke'Em]] - How Sachiel meets his end.
* [[OC Stand
* [[Oxymoronic Being]] - Kiko is a miniature giant robot. That is, she's [[Half-Human Hybrid|half]] [[Humongous Mecha|Evangelion]] but [[Robot Girl|human sized.]]
* [[Powered by a Forsaken Child]] - In chapter 5, Misako [[Invoked Trope|uses this exact phrase]] when discussing {{spoiler|the dummy plugs}}.
Line 73 ⟶ 71:
* [[Robot Girl]] - Subverted by Kiko, who is {{spoiler|a [[Organic Technology|human/Eva hybrid]] }}.
* [[Shout-Out]] - ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'', ''[[Firefly]]'', ''[[The Spoony Experiment]]'', ''[[The Venture Brothers]],'' ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]''
* [[Shovel Strike]] - The Evangelions have Spetsnaz-style prog shovels.
* [[Soviet Superscience]] - Mostly averted. The Angel Buster nukes are slight modifications of real weapons.
* [[Super-Powered Robot Meter Maids]] - Nigokiko was designed ''to be a Sapiency Driver for Unit 02''... to enable {{spoiler|Asuka}} to Pilot Unit 02, being able to {{spoiler|generate AT fields}} is just a side effect.
