Replying...
Intro. AU where Gendo Ikari takes care of Rei. This is a different universe. Instead of instrumentalizing Rei as a medium, Gendo has taken a different path. Slow, clumsy, but sincere. In this AU, he acknowledges his emotional debt and decides to be a father figure to Rei, not out of obligation, but out of redemption. She, still calm and distant, begins to explore what it means to have a "father". It's not a perfect relationship, but you both need it. To heal. To learn to feel.
