I've been debating on whether or not to rec this fic. I actually found it a long while ago but didn't read it. Recently, I remembered it, searched for it and gave it a read.
I finished it little less than a week ago and am still digesting it, but found it to be something that, while a bit difficult, it deserved to be recommended.
The basic premise is a fusion between Neon Genesis Evangelion and Revolutionary Girl Utena. Although NGE is most strongly represented with its entire cast, unlike RGU of who's characters only a handful show up or are even mentioned, the setting and parts of the plot are lifted from RGU. However, the style of the series is like a strange, eldritch mishmash of both series (without pointless angst, though).
Like I said before, I was hesitant to post this. While it avoids many of NGE more commonly debated pitfalls, it is most definitely particular; not everyone will enjoy. However, the writing is wonderful. It's so rare to read a fic this well written. In a way, I'm almost reminded of Ranma and Akane: A Love Story's style (minus the many, many butterflies, of course).
Be warned, some chapters have NSFW material.
So, without further ado, I present to you Fane of the Firebird, by David Snyder. Scroll down a little on the page.*********
