"We should have left it at that but we didn't. That was our gravest mistake, wasn't it? We crossed the line we ourselves drew." It wasn't in the cards for either of them. Not for him, who was a sworn soldier with a definite number of years to live, and most certainly not for her, who swore she would not invest in things that she knew would not last in the long run. But to find both love and friendship in one person seemed like something that happens so rarely, all chances must be taken for it not to be missed. When the giants fight, it's the small ones that suffer. When duty calls, it's the homes that are deserted. Always, somebody leaves first. And always, both people aren't sure who it was between them. Some kinds of sparks burn so incandescently, that the same fire that once warmed their home becomes the one that burned it down. What happens when one of them returns? Would they find ashes, or would they find the hearth still burning there, just as it was when they left? ----- Published April 2022, in the same universe as the Daisy duology. This is a stand-alone.

The Devil of Paradis - Reiner Braun Her entire life, Calen Smith wanted to make something of herself. She didn't want to live in the shadows of her brother's last name. Her aspiration to join the Survey Corps had been there for much of her childhood, for more reasons than to just be with her brother, Erwin. She wanted to ensure the future of the people of the Walls. There was only one threat to the safety of those she tried so hard to protect. Reiner Braun. ----- I do not own any of the characters or plots of the story aside from the character, Calen Smith. All rights belong to the creator of the series.

Everything has its price. Freedom costs humanity, war takes innocence, friendship requires a heart, and survival demands sacrifice. With the world on his shoulders and the walls at his feet, Reiner encounters a certain devil and her charms. Despite his efforts, he can't help but want what she has to offer-- but there's a steep price to pay for a heart and a hand to hold. Will Reiner be able to pay the price for the treasure he finds or will he be broken in more ways than one? **STORY CONTAINS POTENTIAL SPOILERS!
