As of chapter 6, Bhepin has declared the fic dead, spoiled the rest of this version of the story, and started work on a [[http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=209481 rewrite]], titled ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7620797/1/Surrogate_of_Zero Surrogate of Zero]]'', promising "[[WordOfGod A smaller scope, a tighter narrative, less innuendo.]]" Discussion threads for ''Surrogate'' at Spacebattles.com can be found [[http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=209481 here]] and [[http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=212364 here]].

!!''Surrogate of Zero'' provides examples of the following:

* AlienNonInterferenceClause: It's first {{defied|Trope}} when Asuka tells Shinji to ask Louise for details about Halkeginian magic, and then {{discussed|Trope}} later in dialogue between Asuka and Shinji, and [[spoiler:Asuka and Rei]].
* AnimalsHateHim: {{ZigZagg|ingTrope}}ed. Kirche's fire lizard is afraid of Shinji, but Tabitha's dragon just bites his head and slobbers on him in nothing more than apparent curiosity.
* AristocratsAreEvil: The commoners generally see the nobles as this, especially when they think that Louise stole Shinji away from his prior life to be her familiar.
* BodySurf: [[spoiler:Rei]] emerges through Shinji and comes close to [[spoiler:"tanging" Siesta before she's stopped by Asuka]].
* CanisLatinicus: Asuka refers to Shinji as ''Shinjicus Ikaricus Inepticus'', Louise as ''Louise-la-Vallieries Tsunderis Jailbaitus'', and Tabitha as ''Tabithas Neotenus Badasseri''.
* CurbStompBattle: Shinji utterly dominates [[spoiler:Guiche]] in their duel.
* DeathByChildbirth: Just as in ''Points'', although the details are still unknown. What's established is that [[spoiler:it was a girl. Also, the baby's skeleton is referred to as "hand-sized", and Asuka calls her "aborted" at one point, hinting that Asuka may have died from a miscarriage]].
* ExpositionBeam: Shinji gives Louise, Colbert, Osmond, and Longueville an idea of his past and what he had to deal with by having them each relive [[spoiler:his experience of piloting Unit 01 against Sachiel]].
* EyeScream: The experience of [[spoiler:Sachiel impaling Unit 01's head through its eye]] is described in detail during the ExpositionBeam scene. Also, see YourMindMakesItReal below.
* FirstPersonSmartass: Asuka's narration frequently drifts into this, especially when she and Shinji are "talking" directly to each other. That said, no one is safe from her snark (except Tabitha, to some extent).
* GodGuise: In order to cover up his AT-field tricks, Shinji sets up Asuka as a goddess of war, [[spoiler:her skull]] being a holy relic that gives its wielder power. The intro to ch. 6 is a discussion between [[spoiler:Asuka and Rei]] about expanding the "pantheon."
* GrievousHarmWithABody [=/=] OneHitKO: Shinji and [[spoiler:Guiche]]'s duel ends with Shinji [[spoiler:beaning Guiche with Asuka's skull]].
* HumanoidAbomination [=/=] MindHive: Shinji is, as labeled by Asuka, ''Homo Apotheosis'': the embodiment of the Well of Souls created in Third Impact. In other words, he's an Angel.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Asuka describes [[spoiler:her skull]] as this during Shinji's duel.
* InteractiveNarrator:
** Asuka's narration sits on both sides of the fourth wall--it's not only a foundation of the story, Shinji hears most (if not all) of it in his head.
** [[spoiler:Rei]] tries to be this but is rebuffed by Asuka. However, the two of them do converse "behind the scenes" about certain issues.
* LighterAndSofter: ''Surrogate'' is much more comedic in tone than ''Points'', although the fundamental seriousness is still present.
* MementoMacguffin: [[spoiler:Asuka's skull.]] For Shinji, it's a reminder of what he's lost, a sentimental token of their relationship, and a potent weapon. [[spoiler:It later becomes a way for Longueville to get access to the school's Vault once Shinji turns it over to the school.]]
* MindlinkMates: Shinji and Asuka, as a result of [[spoiler:her soul having rejoined the Well of Souls after her second death]].
* MisterSeahorse: A ''very'' odd take. Some of Shinji's behaviors lead Asuka to note that by [[spoiler:taking their unborn daughter's soul into himself]], he's made himself metaphysically pregnant.
* NoSell: Neither Shinji nor [[spoiler:Asuka's skull]] are affected by Halkegenian magic in the slightest, aside from Shinji acquiring the runes on his hand as part of the familiar binding spell.
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Guiche has no love lost for Count Mott, primarily because of his predatory ways.
-->[...] don't you dare compare a Gramont to a Mott! Someone who forces himself onto a woman is scum! Though there are those who despise the well-earned reputation of the Gramont, never have we taken liberties with a woman without her willing consent! To us, the face of Mott is the face of the enemy!
* ShoutOut: Bpen continues his penchant for them, but he takes it a step further by having Shinji {{lampshade|Hanging}} their use in Asuka's narration, which she [[JustifiedTrope defends]] as a means of helping make sense of their circumstances.

* TragicKeepsake: When Shinji goes to Halkegenia, he takes two of these with him: [[spoiler:the skulls of Asuka and their baby, the former of which Shinji transforms into an Angelic core in his body]].
* YourMindMakesItReal: Because of the ExpositionBeam[=/=]EyeScream above, Louise, Osmond, Colbert, and Longueville all bleed from their right eyes as a side effect.

* EyeScream: Louise, Osmond, Colbert, and Miss Longueville get to experience [[spoiler:Sachiel putting out Unit 01's eye]] thanks to the memory of it happening to Shinji. Also, see YourMindMakesItReal below.

* ShoutOut:

:: Shinji {{lampshade|Hanging}}s the use of the Shout Outs, which Asuka defends as a means of helping make sense of their circumstances.
