New Perspective Evangelion

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

"We face a responsibility unlike no other in the history of mankind: We have our fears - that which may become reality. And we have the Angels, which are reality."

New Persective Evangelion is a Neon Genesis Evangelion fanfic by Dartz-IRL.

A young Irishman finds himself forceably inserted into the Evangelion world -- by being forceably inserted into the brain and body of Noriko Nagato, a 14-year-old Japanese girl who has "miraculously" survived a plane crash, only to discover she is now the Fourth Child. But how did he get there? What did that weird dream with Kaworu Nagisa mean? Why are the real Noriko's memories coming back? And just what is up with the delusional girl in school who thinks she's Haruhi Suzumiya?
