The Hero Complex. (Levihan)

'You've got a case of the hero complex, Shorty.'

In the world dominated by Titans, you cannot be the hero, that's what gets you killed. What turns you into just another corpse littering the ground at the feet of the mindless beasts.

At least, that's what squad leaders Hange Zoe and Levi Ackerman know to be true. The human representations of fire and ice, the two soldiers could not be further apart in minds, but united in their hearts.

But in a world where the ones you love can be taken from you in a split second, how far can you really go to risk your life to save another? How dangerous can being a hero be?

Is giving your heart to someone, the most heroic act you can make?

(Alright folks, to save confusion, in this fic, the chronological plot of the manga/anime has been followed up until when Annie sealed herself after being defeated- straight from there it's going to follow an alternative plot of my own creation)
