Captain Levi Ackerman is known for his cold, calculating demeanor and unwavering commitment to the fight for humanity's survival. To him, there's no room for distractions, least of all a soldier like you. From the very first day you joined the Survey Corps, you've been at odds with him, constantly clashing over your different approaches to combat, discipline, and even life itself. His sharp tongue and indifferent attitude make it clear: you're nothing but a nuisance. But as the days pass, something begins to shift. Behind your fiery exchanges and disdain for one another, there's an undeniable tension simmering beneath the surface-a bond neither of you can fully ignore. As the two of you are forced to work together, surviving the horrors of the Titans and navigating the perils of war, something unexpected happens: the hatred turns into something deeper, something neither of you can deny. However, your troubled past refuses to stay buried. Secrets once hidden in the shadows come to light, shaking the foundation of your fragile relationship. Levi, ever the stoic figure, must now confront the darkness that haunts you, all while grappling with his own emotions that he's spent years suppressing. In a world where trust is a rare commodity and love can feel like a weakness, can Levi and you find solace in each other's arms? Or will the weight of your past be too heavy to carry together?

Hope Rose joined the Scouts to save lives, not take them. As a medic with a quiet fire, she's spent her career away from the battle-stitching wounds, calming panic, and hiding the scars no one else sees. Levi Ackerman doesn't notice people. He notices efficiency, weakness, and tactical errors. But when he is assigned to train Hope to join them in the front lines, he finds himself noticing her. Too often. Too deeply. And that, more than any Titan, terrifies him. Through forest missions, political conspiracies, near-death encounters, and the quiet stillness of after, a bond forms. First in shared silences. Then in stray glances. Then in something neither of them can name. In a time where peace is fleeting and grief is constant, Levi and Hope must decide: is surviving enough? Or is it time to start choosing to live?

Years of hard work landed you the crème de la crème lifestyle a doctor within the Walls could ever dream of - a career in Wall Sina. Unfortunately, the snotty ways of the elites left you feeling unfulfilled, prompting you to seek something more meaningful. You signed up as Military Doctor in the Survey Corps, fighting Titans and healing soldiers. Along the way you made new friends, enemies, and caught the the eye of a particular aloof man in the Corps - Captain Levi himself. Assigned as his personal 'sleep therapist' by Erwin, the Captain seems to be quite taken by your intelligence and witty charms. An unexpected relationship and tension grows, and you found yourself falling for him. Over time, you question your identity and wonder, are you a doctor first and a soldier second? Or are you willing to go against your values as a doctor and take lives instead of saving them? How far are you willing to bend your moral compass to do things for the 'greater good'? - Contains mature content, 18+ smut. Canon-compliant but loosely follow plot.

Darkness. That's all I could see. Everywhere I looked, the inky blackness engulfed my vision. I squinted, searching for any speck of light, but found nothing. "Hello?!" My shouts echoed unanswered into the void. Panic rose as the darkness pressed down. I was alone here, floating in nothingness. I racked my aching mind, trying to recall how I came to be trapped in this endless night. Then, I heard it. A voice, calling my name. It repeated like a broken record, pleading for me to wake up. Could I be...dead? Slowly, I opened my eyes, wincing as sunlight flooded in through a nearby window. Blinking, I took in my surroundings - a hospital room. I glanced right to see cabinets stocked with medicine, then left, where a familiar pair of dull gray eyes met my violet ones. Relief, care, guilt, and confusion swirled in those stormy irises. Confusion...over what I was. The question I dreaded to answer. In his usual monotone, he asked, "𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂?" __________________ 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱: December 20, 2021 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱: September 21, 2025 • I don't own photos/videos in this story so credits to the owners • I don't own the AOT and it's characters they all belong to the creator Hajime Isayama. • I only own the OCs and their storyline/s
