When Hannah joined the Scouts, she wasn't chasing glory-just trying to make herself useful in a world that keeps falling apart. Special Orders land her in Captain Levi Ackerman's squad, where every mistake costs blood and every day feels like a fight to prove she belongs. The training is brutal, the expectations higher still, and the man in charge-sharp, unreadable, and relentless-seems built to find her limits. But Hannah learns fast. She has to. Between drills, field med work, and a team that doesn't quite know what to make of her, she starts to find her footing. Until something darker slips through the cracks: an infiltration within the ranks, loyalties fracturing, and trust becoming a dangerous luxury. Levi watches her rise through it all-stubborn, capable, and far too human for a world that demands she harden. And as their paths begin to tangle, both find themselves facing the same truth: not every wound bleeds red, and not every scar can be stitched shut. Because in the end, survival isn't the hardest thing. Learning to live after might be. ** NOTES ** This story is loosely canonical to AOT, however I have taken creative liberties that stray from the original storyline. Active: Publishing New Chapters
