Steel and Smoke

The Titans weren't the only thing humanity feared. In the chaos of war, silence could be just as deadly.

Shion, the second strongest soldier in the Survey Corps, lives by three things: discipline, strategy, and steel. Feared on the battlefield and respected in the war room, she follows orders without hesitation-even when they involve killing her own.

But everything begins to unravel the day a boy turns into a Titan.

As secrets surface and humanity inches closer to the truth hidden behind the walls, Shion finds herself drawn into the heart of every major operation-and into the path of the one soldier more distant and unreadable than she is: Captain Levi Ackerman.

Their connection begins in silence-glances exchanged between battles, orders obeyed without question-but something deeper grows in the shadow of war. Neither of them seeks love in a world on fire, but some flames catch when least expected.

Canon events. One original character. A slow-burn romance forged in blood, duty, and quiet moments between the end of the world.
