''[[The Wild Horse Thesis]]'' by "Calamity Cordite" (AKA "Calamity-Queen of Cordite") is a [[Crossover Fic|crossover]] between ''[[Ranma ½]]'' and ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. Making yet another attempt to eliminate Ranma Saotome and free the heart of Akane Tendo, Hikaru Gosunkugi casts a spell from a scroll given to him by a mysterious cowled figure. To his surprise (and the readers'), the attempt succeeds and banishes Ranma into a set of of ''Evangelion'' video tapes, where Gosunkugi is sure he will come to a swift and terrible end, along with the rest of humanity.

''[[The Wild Horse Thesis]]'' by "Calamity Cordite" (AKA "Calamity-Queen of Cordite"; real name Lisa Grey) is a [[Crossover Fic|crossover]] between ''[[Ranma ½]]'' and ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. Making yet another attempt to eliminate Ranma Saotome and free the heart of Akane Tendo, Hikaru Gosunkugi casts a spell from a scroll given to him by a mysterious cowled figure. To his surprise (and the readers'), the attempt succeeds and banishes Ranma into a set of of ''Evangelion'' video tapes, where Gosunkugi is sure he will come to a swift and terrible end, along with the rest of humanity.

Three days later, the Tendo household -- thoroughly agitated over Ranma's disappearance -- receives a package containing a set of video tapes entitled ''Neon Genesis Evangelion ½''. Watching them, the Tendos learn what has happened -- Ranma has been inserted into the world of one of his favorite anime, ''Evangelion'', and forced to take the place of Shinji Ikari. Unfortunately for the combined plans of Gosunkugi and Hideaki Anno, Ranma is ''not'' Shinji and knows exactly what's coming and why -- and goes to work on derailing the plans of both Gendo Ikari and SEELE.

Line 14:

* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: A literal one, when it turns out {{spoiler|the prime mover from almost the first sentence has been the Egyptian goddess Bast, in response to the prayers of Nodoka, and she ensures that Rei and Asuka -- previously wholly fictional entities -- are rescued from the end of the anime and transported into the "real" world with Ranma at the conclusion of the story}}.

* [[Folgers Crossover]]: Ranma of ''Ranma ½'' replaces Shinji Ikari in ''Neon Genesis Evangelion''.

* [[Folgers Crossover]]/[[Fusion Fic]]: Ranma of ''Ranma ½'' replaces Shinji Ikari in ''Neon Genesis Evangelion''.

* [[Identical Stranger]]: Ranma's girl form and Asuka can pass for twins.

* [[Shipper on Deck]]: Kasumi, for Ranma and {{spoiler|''both'' Rei and Asuka}}.

* [[Trapped in TV Land]]: Due to a magical spell, Ranma is trapped inside a series of video tapes which contain ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. He finds himself replacing the character of Shinji, but has all his [[Martial Arts and Crafts|abilities and techniques intact]]. Unlike some of other examples of this trope, though, we see Ranma having his Tokyo-3 adventures from the viewpoint of Ranma's family and fiancees, who are watching the tapes in the "real" world. The best part is seeing Ranma telling people in the show of his "previous" life, thinking no one knows what he's talking about, while the characters in the "real" world are subjected to his honest opinions of them.

* [[Twin Threesome Fantasy]]: Referenced at the end of the story by {{spoiler|Rei, who notes that she gets to experience this with Asuka and Girl!Ranma}}.
