A ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' fanfic by Lavanya Six, which proceeds to turn the entire [[Peggy Sue]] trope completely on it'sits head... by sending ''[[Big Bad|Gendo]]'' back in time, instead of the usual (i.e. Shinji).

{{tropelist}}
----
=== Tropes present in [[Taking Sights (Fanfic)|Taking Sights]]: ===
* [[Break the Haughty]]: {{spoiler|Asuka's}} started earlier than in canon.
* [[Calling the Old Man Out]] - Fuyutsuki (ironically) and {{spoiler|Shinji}}.
Line 19 ⟶ 18:
* [[It Got Worse]] - So, so much. And the author is only promising more.
* [[Gilligan Cut]] - Indulged in during the lighter moments.
{{quote| '''Fuyutsuki:''' Trust me, Shinji. If there's one thing the commander doesn't get, it's angry.<br />
Thirty Minutes Ago<br />
'''Gendo:''' I am going to ''murder'' that little shit. }}
* [[Love At First Punch]] - Possibly {{spoiler|Touji}}.
Line 28 ⟶ 27:
* [[Peggy Sue]] - Subverted. It's the ''villain'' that goes back. {{spoiler|And a slightly Lovecraftian, immortal version of Asuka, but not properly.}}
* [[Promotion to Parent]]: Hikari Horaki after her mother's death.
* [[Punctuated! forFor! Emphasis!]]: In Chapter 4:
{{quote| '''Fuyutsuki:''' "THIS! ISN'T! FUNNY!"}}
* [[Schedule Slip]]: Was once updated on a somewhat regular basis, then slowed down and eventually stopped moving for a while in 2009. Got one more chapter in early 2010, and it's been dormant since then. The author has admitted that she's struggled with the direction the story had taken, and that it was making it difficult to write. She has, however, promised that she will eventually finish it, as she doesn't want to become "one of those authors."
* [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]] - {{spoiler|It doesn't work very well.}}
* [[So Proud of You]] - Gendo does this. {{spoiler|It gets seen through.}}
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Done by {{spoiler|Lovecraftian!Asuka}} in Shinji's dream.
{{quote| {{spoiler|"That's how you know it, and how I, who am an illusion of your mind and definitely '''not''' a phantom from the Dark Era at the absolute end of the universe's entropic arc, know it too."}}}}
* [[Title Drop]] - "I'm glad we've had this chance to take sight of each other"
* [[Troubled but Cute]]: Misato's [[Troubled but Cute|exact words]] to describe Shinji in the third chapter.
Line 42 ⟶ 41:
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]] - {{spoiler|Original Asuka. She's literally lived to the ''end of the universe''.}}
