For the love of herself.

or, the full-length title: She yearns for the comfort of others, the warmth of touch, and most of all, the love of herself.

Shinji Ikari has finally managed to come out of her shell - or at least, she thought she did. Now she's been ostracised by her (former) best friend, her father ignores her, and almost everyone else treats her as an anomaly. Oh, and there's these weird recurring nightmares she's been having... Can a new school year, some fresh faces and an unusual roommate help her work it all out?

Be warned: this is an angsty fic about transitioning. that means transphobia! if you're not okay with reading that, that's chill, just don't read on ahead as it's untagged. This is your only warning.

This is an Evangelion fan-work. That is to say, I'm using these characters without permission - those belong to Khara, last time I checked. This is not made for any sort of profit! Just a love of the series and some deep-seeded autismo I need to get out of my head.
