Y/N never planned to stand out. A seasoned cadet from another squad, she hides a past filled with skills she's rarely had to use-until joining the Scout Regiment. Born in the underground yet unaware of Levi Ackerman's legacy, Y/N finds herself clashing with him as her new Captain. Both stubborn, sharp, and unwilling to back down, their dynamic sparks tension and challenge in every mission. But beneath her fire lies loyalty, and beneath his cold exterior-something unspoken. As the battle against Titans rages, will their rivalry harden into walls, or slowly break into something deeper?

29 parts Ongoing Mature
Genre: Strangers to Friends to Lovers | Action | Angst | Slow Burn | Romance Setting: Pre-Female Titan Arc, within the Survey Corps Tone: Gritty, emotionally tense, laced with dry humor and quiet intimacy You're a newly promoted soldier, transferred from the Garrison after an impressive track record during the recent Titan encounters. Though most soldiers barely survive outside the walls, you not only survived - you led your squad through an impossible retreat and brought back vital intel. Erwin sees potential. Levi sees a liability. To him, you're unpredictable, insubordinate, and far too emotional - everything that gets people killed. He doesn't want another name to remember. Another grave to dig. So from the start, it's friction. You question his orders. He challenges your discipline. The tension is palpable - in every sparring match, every mission, every moment too close for comfort. But as you prove your strength and cunning on the battlefield, something shifts. Levi starts to see the method in your madness, the quiet grief in your rage. And you begin to understand the weight behind his silence - and the cost of the title "humanity's strongest." Your banter softens. Your teamwork sharpens. The line between loathing and loyalty blurs. Until one night - after a mission gone wrong, blood in the dirt and fire in the sky - he lets you in. Just for a moment. But in this world, love isn't a luxury. It's a liability. And as Levi's feelings deepen, so does the danger. Because nothing - and no one - survives in his life for long.

~Levi X Bullied Reader ~(F/N) (L/N) is the last girl any Scouting Legion Squad Leader would want to have on their ranks. She is very timid, shy, quiet, and a bit clumsy, but most of all, she is weaker compared to other Cadets. Despite all her flaws, she has compassion and she is willing to put others before her in times of need. She also secretly admires the infamous Captain Levi Ackerman of the Special Operations Squad, the team which her best friend, Petra Ral, once belonged to. ~Levi Ackerman only cares about two things with regards to his new recruits; their ability to clean and their worth in battle. It doesn't matter if you are selfless, if you have none of those traits he is looking for, you are not welcome to join his squad. He is also very devastated with the loss of his one true love, Petra Ral, the most clever and reliable soldier he knew. ~One very unfortunate event occurred and ever since then, Levi hated (F/N). Despised her. But, one particular moment happened in which Levi was left pitiably helpless and severely weakened. One twist of fate forced him to rely on the one person he detests the most, (F/N). ~What will happen to the two? Will Levi change his attitude towards the bullied girl, or will he carry on hating her for the rest of his life? Will (F/N) strive to meet Levi's standards, or will she just give up and succumb to her own weakness; her inability to face her fears? ~Once again, any images and videos used in this story do not belong to me. They are only used to portray certain chapters. They belong to their respective owners. ~This story may contain spoilers, so be warned. ~All the characters, except for (F/N) (L/N), belong to none other than the great Isayama Hajime - san, himself. So is the whole respective universe that is Shingeki No Kyojin / Attack On Titan.
