Before Levi Ackerman became humanity's strongest, he was just a lonely little kid from the Underground. Before his powers were awakened, he met a girl who could fight, steal, and survive better than most, and he admired her for it.
They meet again one day as adults. He recruits her into his crew. Together, they were powerful.
...And they fall in love.
But when the infamous surface-backed organization offers her a way out, there is a catch: she has to go alone.
She chooses to stay.
Levi, not wanting her to give up her chance, breaks things off to protect her, to give her the life she deserves.
She disappears. The offer dies.
And then Erwin recruits Levi, Farlan, and Isabel.
Some time passes, and they meet again on the surface.
No longer what they once were, but never really over.
Is there something left for them, or are they going to bury what once was?

Daisy | Levi Ackerman
"I feel like I've known you. I need to know who you once were to me." As an only daughter, Celine Austerlitz was given everything she could ever want- as she is everything to her uncle, Erwin Smith, the Commander of the Scout Regiment. But what happens when the child of two deceased, misfit nobles flies away from the protective wings of her father-figure and chases after something on her own? Celine, already deep in the shadows of seeking individuality, finds herself enlisting for the military on the assist of one special friend- and a whole slew of revelations and adventures await her. As she fights all battles, both external and internal, a significant yet distant figure becomes the reason why she finally realizes her true, hidden identity, and the purpose of her life. And of all people, it had to be the man she hated the most during her life before the Corps- Captain Levi Ackerman. When she finds what role the famed Captain played in her past, she is left to wonder if things would ever be the same between the two of them, or if fate would be completely changed because of hidden emotions that grew prior to the one true discovery she so hoped to achieve. ----- Published and completed late Nov 2020, pre-written I do not own Attack on Titan; all rights to our lord Hajime Isayama.

Eyes of Steel (Levi x Reader)
Captain Levi Ackerman is known for his cold, calculating demeanor and unwavering commitment to the fight for humanity's survival. To him, there's no room for distractions, least of all a soldier like you. From the very first day you joined the Survey Corps, you've been at odds with him, constantly clashing over your different approaches to combat, discipline, and even life itself. His sharp tongue and indifferent attitude make it clear: you're nothing but a nuisance. But as the days pass, something begins to shift. Behind your fiery exchanges and disdain for one another, there's an undeniable tension simmering beneath the surface-a bond neither of you can fully ignore. As the two of you are forced to work together, surviving the horrors of the Titans and navigating the perils of war, something unexpected happens: the hatred turns into something deeper, something neither of you can deny. However, your troubled past refuses to stay buried. Secrets once hidden in the shadows come to light, shaking the foundation of your fragile relationship. Levi, ever the stoic figure, must now confront the darkness that haunts you, all while grappling with his own emotions that he's spent years suppressing. In a world where trust is a rare commodity and love can feel like a weakness, can Levi and you find solace in each other's arms? Or will the weight of your past be too heavy to carry together?

Hope | Levi x OC
Hope Rose joined the Scouts to save lives, not take them. As a medic with a quiet fire, she's spent her career away from the battle-stitching wounds, calming panic, and hiding the scars no one else sees. Levi Ackerman doesn't notice people. He notices efficiency, weakness, and tactical errors. But when he is assigned to train Hope to join them in the front lines, he finds himself noticing her. Too often. Too deeply. And that, more than any Titan, terrifies him. Through forest missions, political conspiracies, near-death encounters, and the quiet stillness of after, a bond forms. First in shared silences. Then in stray glances. Then in something neither of them can name. In a time where peace is fleeting and grief is constant, Levi and Hope must decide: is surviving enough? Or is it time to start choosing to live?Complete
