In a quiet town by the sea, Levi runs a small café where everything is simple, clean, and quiet just the way he likes it. That is, until Hange Zoe barges into his life with ink-stained fingers, loud laughter, and science journals that always spill onto his counters. What begins as a cautious friendship marked by shared coffee, stolen glances, and endless banter slowly grows into something neither of them expected. Surrounded by found family, messy teens (Eren, Mikasa, and Armin), and a pair of meddling best friends, Levi and Hange stumble through the ache of yearning, the warmth of quiet companionship, and the terrifying beauty of falling in love. But when silence becomes distance and the heart gets louder than reason, will they find their way back?

Skydiver and tea shop owner Levi Ackerman meets the town's resident mad scientist and tries to convince himself that he's not falling for her. (Levi Ackerman x Hange Zoe from Attack on Titan) [Cross-posted from ao3. Cover by Jill or JumpingtotheSky on tumblr.]
