Line 6:
And now they have to go through their most trying ordeals once more in the Evas, and try to change history, while simultaneously deflecting suspicions of their changes, and coping with the loss of their old life.

{{tropelist}}
* {{spoiler|[[Absurdly Youthful Mother|Absurdly Youthful Parents]]: It's not really clear how old Asuka and Shinji were when she gave birth to Aki. They had lost track of time since the Third
* [[Adam and Eve Plot]]: Asuka and Shinji discuss this during one of the "flashback" chapters.
* [[After the End]]: All named chapters before "Repeat" are set here.
Line 36:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Taunt Asuka with {{spoiler|her daughter's name}} or threaten to harm Shinji in front of her. Come on! I dare you!
** Likewise, Shinji doesn't take too kindly towards anyone who tries/threatens to harm Asuka. While he's pretty good at keeping his cool, some {{spoiler|MP Evas}} found out the hard way what happens if this button gets pressed too hard. Stupid bastards never saw it coming.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Once again, Shinji. More so than in the original timeline, as he's no longer plagued by crippling insecurities. Exemplified in his rematch with the
* {{spoiler|[[Big Good]]: Kaoru of all people. What pushes him into this territory is that not only did he make so that Third Impact was averted, he made it so that Aki could grow up normally with her parents. He's still a bit of a dick but saving all
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Asuka and {{spoiler|Aki}} speak a lot of German, including several children's songs. Which makes sense, since both the characters ''and'' the author are German.
* [[Brother-Sister Incest]]: Discussed but ultimately averted.
* [[Calling the Old Man Out]]: Shinji finally snaps at Gendo during The Final.
* [[Cassandra Truth]]: {{spoiler|When Gendo confronts Shinji about his conversation with Asuka during the attack by the
* [[Character Development]]: Some of the best development for Shinji and Asuka in all of fan fiction takes place during the Post-Third Impact chapters.
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Averted. Shinji and Asuka are ''not'' Gendo Ikari.
Line 50:
* [[Convenient Coma]]: {{spoiler|Gendo falls into one after his suicide attempt. It's mostly convenient for Shinji, as he uses to explain what happened at the end of the story, but it ends with the possibility he may never recover.}}
* [[Curtain Fic]]: It's debatable how much "finding food and shelter" and "maintaining the homestead's defenses" can be considered normal chores, but the post-Third Impact chapters do qualify, in a weird post-apocalyptic sort of way.
* [[Cuteness Overload]]: ''[[Emotionless Girl|Rei]]'', of all people, is hit by this. {{spoiler|Meeting and being befriended by Aki is what finally convinces her to ditch Gendo's plan}}. Although, in the following
* [[Damned By Faint Praise]]: Rei resorts to this to critique a drawing of her. It works because the artist is only three.
* [[Dead Guy, Junior]]: Discussed but ultimately averted. {{spoiler|Shinji and Asuka don't want their child to have to try to live under the shadow of someone they're named after.}}
Line 109:
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Asuka and Shinji were like this in the original series, but their relationship becomes a more mellow version of this trope in the post-Third-Impact chapters.
* [[The Reveal]]: See [[Wham! Line]].
* [[Saying Too Much]]: An interesting version. {{spoiler|In Chapter 5, after the battle with the
* [[Sleep Cute]]: Quite a few times in Chapter Four.
* [[Talking to the Dead]]: Shinji and Asuka do this in After-TI chapters. Although instead of a grave, they go to the LCL sea.
