Hello "the only hope for me is you" immediately got the song stuck in my head so now I would like to know the fic context please and thank you
it's this one!!! have a snippet taken entirely out of context:
"Bet you've been in this situation a hundred times before," Nile says once she sets the radio aside, wrapping her arms around herself. Outside the roaring continues.
Joe hums. "Booker and I got stuck in a bomb shelter a couple times during one of the world wars. Can't remember which one."
"How long'd it take them to find you?"
"The second time was only a few hours. First time was a week."
Nile tries to imagine it, trapped in the dark with little air and no food or water, for a week, and can't. She's been lucky enough not to end up in that kind of situation so far: that might change, soon. "Wasn't the same kind of bomb, though," she says.
Joe chuckles softly. "No, not the same kind of bomb."
They're silent for a little while. Nile tilts her head back and rests it against the heavy stone of the wall behind her, closes her eyes. Outside the rumbling is getting loud enough she can feel it.
"Tell me everything's going to be okay," she says suddenly.
She can't see Joe anymore in the darkness, but she feels his foot nudge against hers. "Everything's going to be okay."
No. Sorry. Okay. Sorry. Last Legacy Evangelion AU. Um. Not very well thought out I'm in the "washing machine spray" section of the hyperfixation cycle. Just. Uh. Roll with me for a second. I'll probably make changes later because I know some of these are wrong.
Hm. Uh. I'm gonna say Rei is MC. Not really from their world, has weird knowledge, etc etc. Just roll with me on that one.
Felix is Shinji. Coping with loss and struggling with self-hatred brought on (at least in part) by his father's neglect. Has a lot of powers but is not always the best at using them. Breaks down and goes comatose in times of great emotional turmoil (Anisa said that's what happened to Fe after Rime died, which is why she had to kill LoS herself).
Uuuum. Um. Anisa as Asuka. Obviously not as aggressively cocky but suffering from the loss of a parent and acting brave/powerful/confident to hide the fact that she's actually very insecure. And maybe Anisa was a little more cocky as a teenager? Idk. It's there somewhere.
Sage. As. Um. Maybe Toji? Jocks who don't follow the rules but have big hearts. He would definitely agree to be the Fourth Child if it meant Tulsi got the medical attention she needed. Maybe I just wanna see him in the black suit but with red instead of blue.
Breaking a leg is better than losing an eye at least. Also Tulsi would be Sakura. Especially in the Rebuilds where she actually got to be a part of WILLE. Balsam would be Kensuke.
Uuuum. Um. Thinking. Kaworu would be. I guess Rime. Mysterious and in love with Shinji/Felix and dies as part of a necessary chain of events. Going from helping SEELE (LoS) to helping Shinji (Starsworn). Idk.
Misato would be. Um. If we ignore the weird sexual context between Shinji and Misato, then she could be Scylla. Drinks a lot, puts on a serious work face, is brutal and efficient when needed, has father issues. I honestly did not have a better alternative.
If we ignore the sexual/romantic (one-sided) thing between Ritsuko and Gendo, I could see Elowen as Ritsu. Blonde and smokes and has a love/hate relationship with a dead family member (personal HC that Elowen obviously loves Lucan dearly but also resents him for dying and leaving her alone). Has a strong sense of revenge and despises being used. Incredibly intelligent. Lucan would therefore be MAGI. Again we're ignoring the. The ages and stuff. I'm doing my best here okay.
Escell is Gendo for,, obvious reasons. Fuyutsuki would be. Maybe Withers? That means Florian would be Yui. Florian is trying to help humanity and build a better future for their son and Escell will do whatever it takes to be reunited with him (keep in mind he started working with LoS to necromance Felix when he was a child). Also the. Uh. Emotional child neglect.
i want to watch fire walk with me not fucking point break i do not care about fake surfer keanu reeves or his stupid kidnapped girlfriend i want LAURA PALMER!!!!!!
my girl irene went from the tic tac toe forehead memes to literally one guy being like "haha what if she died" and now everyone's drawing beautiful fanart. of her dying. can we see art of irene having a nice day with friends. eating some ramen. petting a cat. something.
TOG Head canon: Nicky plays string instruments. Not on purpose so much as he sometimes picks up the things Joe tries and tires of (yes Adhd!Joe) and quietly becomes competent. Guitar, Piano, even for a time the violin. He rarely plays for an audience, is not as comfortable in the spotlight as Joe, but it makes him happy to make music. The one instrument he cannot play very well is the Cello. Not because he doesn’t have the skill, its that he cannot practise. Or rather he cannot be left alone to practise. Because Nicky, sat wrapped around a cello, all thighs and hands and shoulders and hair and fierce concentration? It. drives. Joe. WILD. There isn’t a piece of cello music Nicky has started that Yusuf *deer fingers gif* al Kaysani hasn’t interrupted for.. reasons.
(Sorry. I just needed everyone else to also be picturing Luca Marinelli playing the cello because my brain did a thing)🎻
guitarist nicky is SO so important to me i spend a lot of time thinking about him and violinist nile dueting. but in general music nicky is very important to me like i just think hed like it. i like to think about him playing piano or guitar or something with joe in the same room sitting on the floor and resting his head on nicky's leg with his eyes closed,,,,,,, just listening to him play,,,,,, i Love Them. so yeah to all of this
