The brightest candles burn out the fastest.

Everyone said he was the strongest, the most daring, the most skilled.
Everyone said she was the best, the most efficient, the most talented.

...
But to continue on they have to find someone to share those burdens. And hopefully, hopefully, before they burned out.
-in this story, Mikasa (and the other cadets) is older and Levi (and other squad leaders/commanders/etc.) is younger then portrayed in Isayama's original (therefore, the age gap is not as ...intimidating).
-oh, and heads up guys, I tend to be rather slow at adding new chapters, sorry and I'll update my previously published chapters often because... well because I hate it when I have errors, sorry if that bothers you but please read!
You are a strong young woman, Y/N Hanzer, who escaped from the Underground City with your best friend, Greg Schneider.
But one day, Commander Erwin Smith captures you and offers you a deal: join the Survey Corps or pay for your crimes.
Both of you quickly become the best scouts and join the Levi squad. You allow your cold heart to feel again and start to have a real connection with your squad leader, Levi.
As the walls fall again, you are forced to fight to protect the ones you love. You face new challenges and dangers. And you soon realise that something is different about you, that you are special.
I do not own the universe, main storyline and characters. They belong to Hajime Isayama.
