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.
They both stood alone, fought alone. Both for their own reasons, for their own redemption. And upon their backs, both carry regrets, promises, destinies, expectations, fates.
...
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!
The happenings after 138
The Rumbling is over, but for Mikasa, Levi, and the two Eldian children left in their care, the aftermath of the war contains enough problems of its own. With so many loved ones lost and emotions fractured, the Ackermans must strive to assert their place in a world that had sought to eradicate them, the most pressing question that remains being: will they be able to do it together?
A refugee story about loss and consequence, beginning after the events of chapter 138.
A story about what happens when you lose almost everyone you held dear and the consequences that follow.
I have add a prolog to this fic .
It is headcanon for me, that Levi has already deep feelings for Mikasa.
I'm not a fan of the AnR theory. In fact I have this idea after ch. 138 was released and I've never heard something about this theory since the new season. Sorry for that, if there are some similarities.
For the haters: I don't discuss your hate speaches here. Because it leads to nothing. Inform yourself and let Rivamikas enjoy their ship!
For Rivamikas: Your friendly comments are welcome!
