Valantinaamor
Three years after the Rumbling, the world is scarred - and so are its survivors.
Mikasa Ackerman lives in quiet seclusion, tending to the grave of the boy she once loved, far from the rebuilding capital of Paradis. Her days are quiet, her grief quieter - until a letter arrives from Queen Historia, summoning her back to the city for a global peace summit.
Jean Kirstein, now a lead peacekeeper and one of Historia's closest advisors, hasn't seen Mikasa since the day Eren died. He's grown into the role of a statesman, but old feelings stir the moment she returns - as does the fear of reopening wounds neither of them dared to face.
As Paradis begins delicate negotiations with former enemies, the two are pulled into a web of political tension, public unrest, and shadowy Yeagerist resistance. Amid the chaos, their relationship grows slowly - tentatively - through shared memories, bitter truths, and quiet moments no one else sees.
But loving each other means confronting who they used to be - and who they've become without Eren. Between grief, guilt, and the weight of survival, can two people who were always soldiers learn how to live - and love - in peace?
