There is an old legend... one that tells of a Guardian of a certain forest that is close to the outside of the walls. Enemy, Ally, Titan, or Human? No one really knows who or what the guardian is, but a certain blond is eager to find out. Before Armin Arlert's grandfather was sent with the rest of the refugees to try and reclaim Wall Maria, he gave his young grandson a book. But this wasn't just any book- it contained information on the so-called "guardian" of the Forest of Giant Trees. There is a section upon which the book explains that the guardian may even be summoned! But beware... for those who disturb the guardian's sleep shall pass a trial, one fraught with danger and challenges around every corner.... "If you are to summon the Guardian, be wary of its power, for you must have an important matter regarding the forest in order for you to gain it's aid... and if you don't, then may death welcome you as the Guardian's wrath descends upon all who have foolishly summoned it..."

{1st Place in the Other Category and 1st Place in the Favourite Ship Category --- 2014 Spring @SnKWattyAwards!} "We're trapped like pigs to the slaughter in these walls. Forsaken by God for disobeying his great laws of life—his chaste commandments." Aoife Callaghan and her father, Liam Callaghan are all that remains of their family after Wall Maria was breached and Titans rushed in; harvesting and devouring as many lives as they could get their massive, grimy hands on. It was on that very day that Aoife learned that there was no dream she so wanted more fulfilled than the disappearance of the wretched giants—vowing the rest of her life toward learning the proper fighting skills required to take down such creatures. Will she prevail and make her mark on the ranks of the Titans or will she fail and fall to them like her mother and eldest brother? "Your strength will come when you need it most. Whether that strength be through words or through brute force; it will come. A tree might lose its leaves, but each Spring, they bloom anew. In your life, there will be good times and bad times; however, it is your decision upon which will affect your mentality the most, Aoife."

AOT FANFICITON ---------------------------------- Karen Ackerman has NEVER met her dad. She had been wanting to. But that doesn't mean she needs to fall into the anime world and find out that she's a freak- an ANIMATO! Now she's stuck in a world of twist and turns because fate is just cruel that way. She's got two options: Save the barrier that protects the two worlds or watch the Real World and the Anime world crumple to pieces. As if that's not enough, a boy comes into the equation (and Papa Levi has some serious anger issues). Karen's future isn't looking so hot. ------------------------------------------- COMPLETE

What if you suddenly woke up in a place you never knew? How about if you were placed on death row? Now, what if a psychopath was tailing you and making your life a living hell by framing you for crimes you never committed? Finally, what if you had a rare gift that should have never been possible, and never even knew you had? These are the questions I have to answer right now. I have no clue what to do and no matter what path I follow I’ll be dead in the end. My only hope is the three people standing in front of me at this moment, the ones that have guarded my life all this time. But now I have to take matters into my own hands and can no longer rely on them; or they’ll die. What do I do? Do I let them die, or take their places by sacrificing myself? These are questions a freshman in high school should never have to answer, let alone think about. If you want to know how I’m going to answer these questions, read these few chapters I’ve scrapped together. As of now… I’m dreaming. Are you?

Love is a battle, love is a war; love is losing the ones you care for most... and still holding on. Before the walls where broken by the titans, lived a young woman named Alya. Stark red hair and wide silver eyes, she is a Captain of the Survey Corp and doesn't take backtalk from anyone. Alya is strong.... perhaps to strong. She doesn't let anyone in because wasting feelings on the inevitable demise of these people is just a waste of time... Alya is put in charge of a young Trainee by the name of Levi Ackerman, a young man who seems to have lost everything. His only friends lost to the iron fangs of a titan. Alya is willing to change that for him, but is he willing to change himself to do so..? The choices she makes will affect her life, and many others."A ʜᴇʀᴏ ɪs sᴏᴍᴇʙᴏᴅʏ ᴡʜᴏ ɪs sᴇʟғʟᴇss, ᴡʜᴏ ɪs ɢᴇɴᴇʀᴏᴜs ɪɴ sᴘɪʀɪᴛ, ᴡʜᴏ ᴊᴜsᴛ ᴛʀɪᴇs ᴛᴏ ɢɪᴠᴇ ʙᴀᴄᴋ ᴀs ᴍᴜᴄʜ ᴀs ᴘᴏssɪʙʟᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ʜᴇʟᴘ ᴘᴇᴏᴘʟᴇ.
