There was never any other path for Gawain and he readily accepts all of his knightly duties. The next battle he needs to face has a bit more stakes. Its positive outcome could mean the end of war.

To win this battle sacrifices will be absolutely necessary. How will Gawain react to a battle that isn't fought by proper knightly procedure?

Walls-A Levi x Reader Fic {Book One}
**EDITING** The longer you live like animals, the easier you turn into them. Being from the underground you knew what it was like to be desperate and caged, to know there was a line, invisible or not, that you couldn't cross. Your entire life, you strove to be free of the underground, to live among those on the surface, to feel normal again. But with your scarred past and obscure future, that dream slipped further away with each passing day. By some turn of fate, you clawed your way through the underground streets, learned how to fight-and in turn, how to win. But fighting your way to the top came with a price, and one the scouts would soon come to collect. Now, fighting for a new team in a new world, you're given a fresh start, a way to move forward from the horrible labs and abandonment of the forgotten city. Again you're forced to start from the bottom, slowly chipping your way back to the top, fighting between confronting your past and looking towards the future. In the process, you find yourself coming face to face with a stoic figure who comes with a mysterious yet familiar past. As you learn to trust each other, you find your own impenetrable façade crumbling like the walls, all at the fault of one man. {Book One} ***Quick Disclaimer-I own only my own characters and plot line in this story, and have no ownership over AOT or its characters***Complete
Why do we Fight? - Volume I - For Honor
Good soldiers follow orders, but true warriors know what is right. Since the start of civilization, soldiers have been a part of every society. They are trained only for one thing: War. Though it is not necessarily a part of the human mentality, it has existed and ravaged over the millenias. Occasionally, a soldier would ask himself: "Why do they fight?" "Is it really worth the lives of our brothers and sisters?" ... "Does love bloom in the darkest of paths?" ++++++++++++++++++++ OC x Male reader insert Slow paced romance and may include in-game characters with actual personalities and interactions that I made myself, because come on. Naming NPCs without backstories? Makes the story kind of bland for me but meh, that's my opinion. Default name for the reader is 'Argen Lorderius.' Btw, I do not own any pictures and other stuff in the fanfic. Refer to the disclaimer on each chapter :/.Complete
