Brewed to Perfection: Quiet Tea | LeviHan | Levi Ackerman x Hange Zoe | FalBi

Author's Note (Please Read! :))

Hey, AoT fans!

Let me start by saying I'm a huge LeviHan fan—like, the kind of fan who cries over fanart, rewatches their moments endlessly, and spends way too much time imagining what could've been. So, here we are, exploring an alternate timeline where Hange didn't stay behind during the Rumbling and got the ending she truly deserved.

In this version of the story, Floch Forster actually died during the port attack, leaving no room for last-minute sabotage. Without him derailing their plans, Hange didn't need to hold off the Colossal Titans alone. Instead, she joined the team for the final fight against Eren.

But it wasn't without cost. At the very end of the Rumbling, when Eren used the Founding Titan's power as a last-ditch effort, all Eldians were turned into Titans—including Hange. Her transformation wasn't a choice; it was Eren's cruel final move. But thanks to Armin and Mikasa's victory, the power of the Titans was destroyed, and Hange—along with everyone else—was restored to her human form. Though her missing eye was healed during the transformation, the trauma of becoming a Titan and surviving the Rumbling left lasting scars, for her, Levi, and everyone else.

Fast forward five years, and Levi and Hange have made a new home in Ayoluwa, a peaceful town in Onyankopon's country. Together, they've opened a tea shop called "Quiet Tea." (Spoiler: it's anything but quiet.) Levi's gruff precision clashes hilariously with Hange's chaotic energy, while Gabi and Falco bring their youthful mischief, and Onyankopon keeps everything running smoothly. Even Yelena makes the occasional appearance, stirring up just the right amount of trouble to keep things interesting.

This story is about second chances and finding purpose after unimaginable loss. It's about laughter, healing, and rebuilding—not just as individuals, but as a family. It's my way of giving these characters the life they deserve, full of love, chaos, and plenty of tea.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. Let's raise a cup (or a teapot, if you're feeling fancy) to LeviHan, to the beautiful chaos of their lives, and to the hope that even after the darkest times, something good can bloom.

With love and endless tea,
