In a world of enemies wearing familar faces, even loyalty casts a shadow.
Sera Darley was created to disappear. For years, she's lived as Commander Erwin Smith's ghost, an officer who only exists on paper, watching from the shadows of the 104th. Her purpose was simple: observe, report, and remain unseen.
But when Erwin begins to question the silence and restraints in her reports, he sends Captain Levi Ackermann to bring her back into focus or uncover what she is hiding. The closer he gets, the more the lines blur between mission and understanding. In her, Levi recognizes the same discipline and the same exhaustion that keeps him alive.

A remote jungle island holds creatures that shouldn't exist-genetically reconstructed from fossil records and experimental DNA sequencing. Commander Erwin Smith leads a specialized task force investigating a corporate facility that's lost contact with the outside world. He recruits Julien Scott, a brilliant, sharp-tongued paleontologist, to identify the emerging species and help his team understand what went wrong. But nothing prepares them for what they'll find in the overgrown ruins of the island lab-and no one is ready for how quickly the predators evolve.

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

Steel & Smoke
She was fire-sharp-tongued, defiant, and dangerous. He was steel-cold, unbending, and impossible to impress. When she's assigned to Captain Levi Ackerman's elite squad, it's clear from the start they were never meant to work together. They clash in training, in strategy, and most of all, in silence. But on the battlefield, something shifts. In the quiet spaces between orders and outposts, tension builds-tight, coiled, electric. Each mission draws them closer, neither willing to break, neither able to look away. In the world beyond the Walls, survival demands obedience. Discipline. Control. But when loyalty is tested and instincts betray, lines blur. And in the shadows of war, fire and steel can become something far more dangerous: heat. This is a story of sharp glances and sharper words. Of two soldiers caught in the gravity of something they won't name. A slow burn of control, collision, and the cost of wanting more in a world that punishes weakness. Enemies, allies, something in between-whatever they are, it's only a matter of time before one of them burns. *smut to come 🤌*
