1	''Evangelion: The Hangover'' is an ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' fanfiction written by Strypgia -- an author better known from ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'', ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'' and ''Fanfic/CostumesAndGames''. It begins with the four ex-Pilots waking in a hotel suite in Las Vegas in 2021, sporting wedding bands and quickly realizing the previous night was full of events. Events they do not remember.

5	Caution: the story is somewhat NSFW. It takes place in 2021 and the ex-Pilots are around 20 years old and in sort-of-relationships. Considering that lot of the fun comes from the discovery of what has actually happened, it is advised to read the story before delving into spoilers on this page.

8	----
9	!! ''Evangelion: The Hangover'' contains examples of:
10	* AccidentalMarriage: [[spoiler:Subverted. There was nothing accidental about it, they just did not remember it in the beginning.]]
11	* AlienCatnip: Kaworu gets stoned from eating ''chocolate''.
12	* AlternateUniverse: Naturally, for an Eva fic of its caliber. The story takes place more than half a decade after the anime, in a world where the pilots successfully averted Third Impact and countered both SEELE and Gendo's plans. Misato is head of NERV, while the main four pilots are around 20 and [[spoiler:have been in on-again off-again relationships with at least one other out of the quad for the last few years]].
13	** As well as the show itself, it is also this to Strypgia's other fic ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'', carrying over many elements, such as [[spoiler:Kensuke being in a relationship with Sayaka and Kyoko from ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'']]. The main different in the timeline between the two fics is that the failed kiss from the show led to a full relationship between Asuka and Shinji in A&T, while in this fic's world it instead became an on-and-off relationship.
14	* BabiesEverAfter: Intent of [[spoiler:the Suzuharas and the Ibukis]].
15	* BetaCouple: Nearly everyone from the NGE cast that appears is coupled with someone or married to someone. Visible examples are: Katsuragi (Misato and Ryouji "Kaji"), Ibuki (Ritsuko and Maya), [[spoiler:the Aidas (Kensuke, Kyoko, and Sayaka)]], and [[spoiler:Suzuharas (Hikari and Touji)]].
16	* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: Asuka's description of Kaworu in chapter 7
17	-->'''Asuka''': And this stupid Angel of Fluff, Love and Fluffy Love.
18	* ChastityCouple: Hikari and Touji. Well, maybe not very chaste as they are "stuck on third base". [[spoiler:This changes once they are married too.]]
19	* CanonImmigrant: Sayaka and Kyoko [[spoiler:Aida]], both from ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' and ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust''.
20	* CovertPervert: Rei. She tends to lose inhibitions when drunk or emotional.
21	%%* CrackFic: The author himself admits it openly.
22	%%* EverybodyHasLotsOfSex: The protagonists, for sure. Once [[spoiler:Hikari and Touji tie the knot]], it applies to them as well. Others are not clearly stated, but pretty much implied.
23	* FantasticDrug: The "Romulan Ale", creation of Ritsuko Akagi. The list of its effects is quite impressive. Regrettably, it also has side effects.
24	-->'''Maya''': This is the '''bests''' stuff. Energy drink, intoxicant, mental concentrator, aphrodisiac, and fertility enhancer, WOOO! I'm drunk, sober, awake, horny as fuck, and bursting with energy.
25	* FlatWhat: Asuka utters several "What." in quick succession when she finds out that the multiple wedding was ''her'' idea.
26	* AGodIAmNot: Rei is virtually a goddess, able to do feats of power, like telekinesis, Sight, AT-Fields on demand, and [[spoiler:Tanging and Un-Tanging people at will]]. She wants nothing else but make her spouses happy. Kaworu act in a similar way.
27	* GratuitousRussian: The Russian mob speaks untranslated Russian; it's {{Lampshaded}} by Rei, who speaks fluent Russian. It is indicated that [[UpliftedAnimal Growlskis]] use proper Russian, but [[TakeOurWordForIt it is never shown]].
28	* HangoverSensitivity: Kaworu likes to drink, but he always pays a heavy price.
29	* HoldingHands: The protagonists quickly settle into showing their affection by holding hands; especially visible with Kaworu and Shinji.
30	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The memories from the last night are missing, and not just due to copious amount of drinking that took place. [[spoiler:They eventually start returning.]]
31	%%* MadScientist: Ritsuko Akagi skirts the archetype.
32	* TheMafiya: The Russian mob that [[spoiler:kidnapped Kaji]].
33	* TheMaidenNameDebate: Somewhat averted for the protagonists. They married as [[spoiler:Soryu-Ayanami]], and while some participants are surprised, no one objects. For [[spoiler:Shinji]] it could've been the case of ShedTheFamilyName. Completely {{averted\|Trope}} for everyone else.
34	* MarryThemAll: The characters start the story married as a quartet. [[spoiler:In the end, they chose to stay that way]]. Same happens to [[spoiler:Kensuke, Kyoko, and Sayaka]].
35	* OntologicalMystery: The characters wake up in a hotel room with no memory of what happened.
36	* {{Polyamory}}: The quartet marriage of the protagonists [[spoiler:and the trio of Kensuke, Kyoko, and Sayaka]]. As flashbacks indicate, it began several months before.
37	* {{Pun}}: Rei has developed great love for horribly bad puns, to the embarassment of her spouses. {{Lame Pun Reaction}}s are common, at some point it escalates to HurricaneOfPuns.
38	* RelationshipRevolvingDoor: Shinji and Asuka have been dating of and off for the last five years.
39	* RuthlessForeignGangsters: The Russian mob [[spoiler:before they end up repeatedly Tanged and Un-Tanged by annoyed Rei.]]
40	%%* ShoutOut: A lot, mainly to the ''Film/TheHangover''.
41	%%* TrueSight: Rei and Kaworu have this as part of their powers.
42	%%* TruthSerum: Romulan Ale worked a bit like that.
43	* UpliftedAnimal: The Growlskis, who are intelligent bears who speak proper Russian. They just need vodka.
44	* VomitIndiscretionShot: Kaworu soon after waking up bolt for the bathroom and throws up. His Angel physiology does not handle alcohol well.
45	* WackyMarriageProposal: [[spoiler:Asuka to Rei, Shinji, and Kaworu.]] Less "wacky" more "sudden and emotional" - it is a moving speech. [[spoiler:They accept on the spot.]]
46	* WeddingsForEveryone: Every character from NGE canon that appears is married to another. Some in more complicated patterns than others.
47	* WholePlotReference: Subverted. It begins very much like a reference of ''Hangover'' (it's in the title), but gradually shifts away towards a very different story.
