Attack on Titan (One Shots/xReader)

(Porco Galliard) "Before Our Time Is Up"

   You stood silent atop Utgard Castle, the screams were deafening, maddening even. You felt almost helpless trying not to get involved while the screams of Squad Miche filled the night air.

  Nanaba, Tomas, Gelgar, Henning, Lynne...

they were just being devoured right before your eyes. Right before everyone's eyes.

  Oh gods, things couldn't get any worse— could they?

  You bit your lip almost ready to just jump down, abandon everyone at the top and just help Nanaba. But even if you could save her now, she would never survive her injuries.

She was being quite literally torn limb from limb.

  You winced at the snap of her leg, the painful screams that erupted from her throat, the twisting of her arm right off her body.

  Various titans just tugging and pulling her body apart like a rag-doll. Biting down on whatever they could, followed by sickening crunches of breaking bones.

  Connie's shaken voice was enough to pry your eyes away from the gruesome scene.

  He had turned as white as a sheet. Extending his arm and shakily pointed out a giant Beast Titan making its way to the wall.

  Your breath caught in your throat. That thing—it had to be 17 metres tall.

  Easily towering over the tower if given the chance. But the beastly looking titan seemed to have no interest in the tower, or the other titans crowding around it as they clawed at the stoney exterior.

  "That...that thing is heading for the wall," Connie sputtered out.

  The fear he was feeling was understandable, you were trapped at the top of an unstable tower, defenceless, and with no help in sight.

  Well...you did have a knife in your pants pocket, but that was your little secret. Perhaps not for much longer, but for the short time being it was.

  "Not much we can do about that...Titan," You sighed as you finally pulled your gaze away from the Beast Titan and towards the present threat below you.

  "What about them? We're just Titan food like Shadis said we'd become.." Christa finally spoke up.

  You hadn't noticed the short blonde had resorted to hugging your arm, tears quite present in her eyes. You had forgotten she was there at all with how quiet she had been up until now.

  Taking in a deep breath your eyes scanned the titans below. You didn't know if you could take them on all on your own, but you were their best chance at survival...and as much as you don't want to admit it— you cared for these people stuck at the top of the tower with you. You never meant to get attached but you did, you already had to watch Miche's Squad die a horrible death, you weren't going to allow your friends the same fate.

  "Promise you won't hate me after this..."

  "Hate you? Why would we— Y/N DON'T!" Christa screamed.

  You took a couple of steps back to get a running start.

  Deep breath in, deep breath out...

Shaking any doubts from your head, any fears of death, you spring forward. As you jump off the side of the tower, the titans below you opened their mouths wide expecting you to just fall right in, the screams of your friends echoed off the tower, but your sacrifice would be worth it if it meant they lived.

  Pulling the knife from your pocket you hold your hand out and with one smooth glide across your palm, a trickle of blood made its way to the surface of the wound. Deep enough to work—
