Guarded by a shell of steel, surrounded by a swarm of fawners, and armed with a vocabulary restricted to passive-aggressions, baseball player Levi Ackerman is not the kind of guy you want to tangle with during your junior year at Mitras State University. Fate is a fickle thing, and weaving yourself into a close-knit group of friends who stitch the void in your heart is the more favourable situation.
But when push comes to shove, when back and forths become foreplay and stares start stripping skin, you find yourself drowning in blue pools and grey clouds. You end up discovering endless galaxies within his empty eyes that you only want to float in.
When the thin line between love and hate loses itself, will you end up losing yourself?

Through the Walls | Levi Ackerman
You know how this story goes. But now, you're inside it. Placed within the world of Attack on Titan, you are no longer a spectator to history-you are a soldier in it. And when fate assigns you to Captain Levi's squad, your life intertwines with his in ways neither of you anticipate. He is cold, unreadable and untouchable. Until you. Somewhere between training drills, life beyond the Walls, and the weight of war pressing in from every side, something changes. The space between captain and subordinate narrows. Trust forms. The air grows charged with things left unsaid. When you stepped into his world, one thing became clear: Even the strongest soldier isn't immune to connection. And some bonds are powerful enough to alter fate itself.
