Hand in Hand

*Informational Chapter*

This is the third Informational Chapter! It is not required to read this but those who don't know the storyline of the anime/manga and who are completely unfamiliar with the Attack on Titan storyline should take a look. I will be going over characters and plot of the last chapters that came after the second Informational Chapter. I recommend you read this because I really go over my own plot which foreshadows and point out things the reader may have not caught.

Things to keep in mind:
- Jinae is located near Connie and Sasha's villages but it has never made an appearance in the manga or anime. I marked a spot on the map in red where I think it would possibly be
- This is not a Erwin x Reader but I was intentional when I wrote chapters 16 and 17 and before that when I added little bits of their growing relationship
- If you follow the anime, we are now around season 3, episode 1
- (y/n)'s mother died during the attack on Shiganshina when she was getting medicine to send to her
- (y/n)'s father was briefly mentioned in chapter 18 but he will be important for future chapters
- Pastor Nick is dead and was killed by interior Military Police

Dieter and Lotte:
As for the grandparents, I tried not to describe them all that much except for their personalities. Also, oma and opa means grandmother and grandfather and is a casual way to address ones grandparents. I tried to do a lot of research on it. I like their personalities and think it'll almost mirror future relationships I'm trying to write. I didn't add a last name because some people might say, "Wait I thought this was a reader insert." I also did NOT want to say (l/n) for last name. For my own story, not for others, I think it takes away. I'll leave it up for interpretation or you can just imagine your own last name.

NSFW Chapters:
🔺CHAPTERS MARKED WITH AN ASTERISK IN THE TITLE WILL HAVE MATURE CONTENT*
🔺Chapters 16-18 had a little bit of this and that. I do know a lot of minors read very mature content but honestly I can't do anything about that concerning my book. It's their own decisions. Please keep in mind that I have the Mature tag in the description of my book as well as in my author's note.
🔺From this point on, there will be more mature chapters that go in detail. As always, because this book is a reader insert, I will try to write these chapters as good as I can without being super physically descriptive of the mc.

What's next:
We are entering Season 3 of the anime. Please remember that while I am following the plot, I am adding my own characters and plot as well.
- Erwin's letter that he gave to Lotte is very important
- (Y/n)'s description of her father choosing his job over his family is also very important.
The only reason I point these things out is because in the chapters they might've seemed very insignificant. I do this intentionally, foreshadowing and whatnot. I always try to connect inner thoughts and dialogue between characters back to the book's description, the title, and earlier chapters. It all connects. Maybe I'm not making sense but I hope by the time this book ends, which won't be for a while, it'll all make sense.

Feedback:
How did you like the last 7 chapters? If you watch/read AOT you probably recognized that things like Hanji's experiment on Eren actually did happen. I wanted to take some time away from the main storyline to build on Levi's relationship with mc. Feedback would be great! Did the story still flow good? Did my writing get off topic and confuse anyone? I tried to be descriptive about the timeline from Eren's rescue mission in chapter 12 to 13.
