Me trying to do oneshots of the AOT characters.
I do fluff, angst and smut. I write the characters of AOT so tell me if you have specific requests :)
I mostly do xFem!Reader with the pronouns of she/her. But again, any requests, please tell me :)

type: angst + comfort fluff
an: i am still in an angsty mood and i am def not over Red (Taylor's Version). and obviously, this oneshot is inspired by the song Forever Winter (Taylor's Version)(From The Vault) by Taylor Swift. I recommend giving it a listen before reading :) also, im not a Reiner simp at all but the feminine urge to comfort a traumatized character took over :|
warnings: suicidal tendencies, depression, canonverse, mentions of death, slight panic attacks, slight insomnia. angst but there's comfort. let me know if i missed anything :)

Forever Winter
"Why fall in love just so you can watch it go away?" His words were pensive and bitter.
You had to be at least a little older than ten years old when he said that. Reiner didn't care about any of those mundane aspects of life. He only cared to be a Warrior, to bring good to the name of his family.
You cared for that, too, of course. But you'd be lying if you said falling in love wasn't something you desired. Over the years of being friends with Reiner, through thick and thin, his view on that specific subject had changed.
All because he fell in love with you.
Just as you did him.
But then the five years came. Five years that felt like five eternities. Five years that felt like five lifetimes. That was how long you had to live without the love of your life.
The day he was chosen to inherit the Armoured Titan was the proudest damn day of your life. You understood all the risks of losing him and you were all still kids at the time. But he was happy and proud. You were, too.
You remembered the day he left with Annie, Bertholdt, and Marcel. All of them were heading towards the island of the devils. How could you not be worried? But you were just a soldier. There was nothing you could do to stop him or make sure that he comes back alive.
So you tried your best to stay alive for those five years. You wanted to live long enough to welcome Reiner back into your arms. You had your friends accompanying you.
Pieck often checked up on you at nights when she knew you wouldn't be able to sleep. Zeke would always assure you that Reiner would be able to return home safely. Porco would distract you so you wouldn't be drowned in the suffocating waves of worrying thoughts.
You'd visit Reiner's family because, after everything, they were yours, too. You wanted to help them worry less of Reiner at the same time, comforting yourself with their presence. But again,how can you not worry?
You had spent countless nights staying awake. Your heart would pray in the silent darkness. Pray for his return. His safe return. You weren't praying to anyone in specific. You lacked faith in a higher power. But you had faith in Reiner. So you prayed to anyone who would listen.
