Humanity's Strongest and its Last Hope are suffering. After the deadly mission to rescue Eren, the Survey Corps was put on hiatus to await fresh recruits. Everyone seemed to be relieved, enjoying their much needed R&R, except for Levi and Eren. Drowning in their own regret, guilt and despair, they're forced together in an unusual circumstance. Surprisingly, they find comfort in one another. Would they find more? This is definitely a Riren/Ereri story, but it's a slow burn...takes a few chapters to build up to it. Be patient, and hang in there. I think you'll be pleased.❤ *This story takes place after Eren's rescue from Reiner and Bert. After this point, it does NOT follow the manga/anime and shouldn't be compared to it in any way.* Confessions and Disclaimers: The great Hajime Isayama owns EVERYTHING in this story. SPOILER ALERT - Discusses a lot that happens prior to the Season 2 anime, ATTACK ON TITAN, finale. Also, none of the images belong to me. I give full credit to the amazing artists that created them.

Levi Ackerman lives a relatively quiet life. He runs his own accounting firm, working hard for other people's money by day. But, come Friday night, the suit comes off, and in a downtown dive bar, he plays guitar for a rock cover band. All the strict manacles of adult life fall to the beer splattered floor, where he reigns as one of the greatest guitarists in the deep south. Life is very simple and measured out. Until some new guy moves in next door: lively, loud, and a bit of a slut, considering Levi gets little sleep listening to the kid fucking all night long. Turns out, Levi's already met the kid. In the alleyway behind the bar. On his knees. And this green-eyed boy, Eren Yeager, will do just about anything he can to get Levi into his bed. Levi could resist. But does he want to? After all, what's a fuck or two? We ain't talkin' 'bout love here. This story is dedicated to Eddie Van Halen. ***Confessions and Disclaimers: The great Hajime Isayama owns EVERYTHING in this story except the story and plot. NONE of the images or songs belong to me.
