How can I put in to words the way I feel about this fic?
To me the success of Evangelion lies in what many people consider to be it's downside. The show introduces a colourful and diverse cast, and although it plays around with their potential happiness or even a light at the end of the tunnel, there's no hollywood happy ending to the ride.
It's because we want things to end differently, that the community of fan-fiction writers have been able to create such fantasic stories. Some of the these I hold in a very high regard. The epic "Eva-R", Fiss' "Higher Learning," and of course your "Genocide" can proudly stand at the top.
It's clear from the way you write and portray the characters that you have very strongly grasped the essense of the show. Asuka, Misato and Shinji in particular stand out, and your broken Ritsuko's motives are entirely understandable.
The way the relationship has grown in such a paced way is a testament to your skill as a writer and story-teller. Far too early in past fictions have characters become too distant from the official show's counterparts. The Asuka/Shinji interaction is some of the best that I've read, and is completely in tune with what could possibly have happened had the show just carried on past the original episodes.
Can I offer a critisim? Not easily. At times when I read some of the conversation in the story, I feel that your long and detailed descriptions slow the pace down in my mind, and thusly the conversations don't flow at a pace that I would be more attuned to. Would I change anything? Not really, despite my critique, it's for that same reason that the story stands out and is so charming in the first place.
I am greatly anticipating your final chapters. Let me know if you have an ETA by any chance. Good luck, and keep up this awesome piece of work.
