Fic: Saving Private Zoë (M)

[3337 words, rated M, manga spoilers, almost post canon, canon divergent]. ETA: Now on AOT!

Her friends saw her disappear in a ball of fire, but that was just her cape! Late but still in time for the Hange Birthday Bash, here is my take on what actually happened to Hange after she dedicated her heart for the final time.

I spewed this in a bit more than 2 days, only 1 round of edit past 1 a.m., so sorry for any typos.

It broke her heart to break his heart like that. The sheer devastation on Levi’s face as she had said her farewell had shaken her more than the suicidal task she was about to tackle. Taking a deep breath in order to fight back tears, former Commander Hange Zoë shot her VMG and faced the wall of colossal titans relentlessly advancing towards the port of Odiha.

Adrenaline kicked in and the grief turned to exhilaration as she soared over the massive monsters.

“Titans really are wonderful!” she thought aloud right before landing the fatal blow on one. There wasn’t much to do in terms of planning. The Rumbling was a brute force attack, and so it required an equal response, even if the forces at play were so ridiculously unbalanced. She could only jump as she went and try to cut as many napes as she could.

Hange switched her anchor points and swung towards another titan. The temperature was unbearable; she struggled with her blades, sweaty palms hindering her grip and the vapours coming from below fogging her vision. She managed to fell a second one, and as she switched her VMG again she felt a searing heat up her side.

Horror struck her. This was not titan vapour. It was a ball of fire igniting her cape and spreading quickly towards her very flammable gas canisters. She groped at her gear, shot her grapple hooks, fumbled with her blades in a desperate attempt to free herself from the blaze. Suddenly, she became very aware that she was basically trying to choose between dying burnt alive or smashed to the floor after a 60-metre drop. Or both. The impulse of a nervous laugh caught in her throat as she felt the flames lick her skin. It was all a whirlwind of fear and pain and images flashing before her one good eye; a violent jolt at her hips; the feeling of falling; light-headedness; trying to scream but hearing nothing; the smell of burnt hair coming to the forefront of the general scorched bouquet filling the air. Was that the sound of a flying boat he was hearing, or was it just her imagination as death took her from this world? She hoped for the former, then everything went white.

“The flying boat!” She yelled, sitting up. She was in a titan-foot-shaped piece of flattened earth, miraculously unscathed.

“It took off,” Erwin said.

“Huh?” She tried to get up, but she seemed to either be glued to the floor, or her arms completely devoid of strength. She looked up to her commander, then to her aide next to him, extending a hand for Moblit to help her get up, but he just stood there. A third soldier turned around; it was Mike. She spotted Nanaba a bit further.

No, something was amiss. How could her comrades have arrived here so quickly? Their uniforms, they were … the old model. There was silence. Nothing smelled burnt.

It dawned on her. Of course, how could she forget. Suicide charge.

“Erwin … Everyone.” It was nice to see them again. She felt relieved. “Ugh, I swear; do you know how much I went through after you appointed me commander? The things that idiot Eren got up to …” She stretched her hand again. “Come on, help me get up and I’ll tell you all about it.” Erwin smiled, but stayed put.

“I will love to hear it,” he said kindly. “But not today.”

“Huh?”

“We’re sorry, Hange,” Moblit said, “but you can’t come with us just yet.”

Mike took a whiff. “You smell like barbecue.”

“You still have things to do,” Erwin said. A cloud of smoke obscured her vision. Squinting, she saw her comrades walk away.

“Wait! Erwin! Moblit!”

She couldn’t hear her own yells. She felt lightheaded, fell down backwards. That’s when it hit her.

PAIN.

Agonizing, searing, burning pain on her right side, from her head all over her arm and side down to her knee. Smell of burnt hair, burnt flesh, burnt everything. Taste of blood. Hange tried to scream, but only a choked sound came out her throat. Cracked lips. She opened her eye. She had a blurry vision of earth and rocks and a greyish sky. The horizon line was almost vertical.

So, I’m lying on my side, she thought before losing consciousness again.

She came to with a shiver, and the return of the excruciating agony of her wounds. Curious, she observed, how she could be trembling and burning at the same time. She tried to incorporate, and this time she did scream as the pain stabbed her from all fronts.

Panting, she looked around. Her glasses were broken, but one of the lenses was still intact. Holding it to her eye she saw she was, indeed, in a depression on the terrain, but the image of a barren land with an even titan-footprint pattern had been part of her near-death hallucination. The actual landscape was far harder and less poetic to look at. For Odiha had not been an endless steppe on which to play stamp pressing, but a thriving city with all that entailed. There was rubble everywhere: crushed buildings, fallen towers, cracked pavement. Hange had been lucky enough to have landed not on the hard debris but on a former park, judging by the flattened grass and flowers beneath her aching body, charring trees lying on the floor farther away, as well as the ruins of a marble fountain.

No, she reconsidered. She had been incredibly lucky to be alive at all. But how?

Howling in pain, she managed to get on her feet. A new, different pang shot up her left leg. Great, she had a sprained ankle as well.

A couple of her VMD gear straps were broken, and wire still hung out of her left winch. Limping very slowly due to the agony that came with every little movement, Hange got rid of what was left of her gear and followed the wire. She clambered over piles of brick, mounds of cobbles, pound gables, towards the rising column of steam that came from the second titan she had slayed. When the heat emanating from the decaying body made her burns flare up, she pulled the cord. Soon she found resistance and, after a few tugs that made her almost faint, the cord came free and she was able to haul the rest of it up to the anchor hook. Closer examination revealed smoking bits of titan flesh stuck to its grooves.

She remembered a violent yank and the sensation of falling slowly, like in a dream.

The anchor must have stuck at a weird angle, scraping down that titan’s flesh and arresting the fall.

She realized there weren’t many fires around. The colossal titan could produce heat at will, but since this ability seriously affected its muscle mass, and the rumbling was a distance run …

They do not aim to burn, just to trample everything. Their core temperature is clearly only able to ignite highly flamable substances. Those plants I woke up on, they looked poached, not roasted.

The sun was setting. She was all alone in the complete ruins of an unknown city thousands of kilometres from home. They must think I’m dead. If they’re still alive, that is. Should she ever want to have the chance to prove them wrong, she would need to find shelter and, if possible, water and medicines. Scanning her surroundings, in the distance she distinguished the remains of the port from where her comrades had took off.

Hange started to walk.

One. Two. Threeeee. F—”FUCK!!!” she screamed, tears spilling from her eye. Four.

She wanted to make haste, but still advanced at a (literally) painfully slow pace. Each step was torture: stepping on her left foot made her ankle throb; putting down her right foot caused her burns to hurt like hell. Her stomach was in knots and her head  was swimming.

She came to with her nerves on fire and bile mixing with the blood in her mouth. She got on all fours first, panting, thinking. After a few moments, she stood up.

Twelve. Thirteen.

She fainted three more times by the time she arrived to the port, one thousand ninety-three steps later. The sky was already dark, the sea choppy and full of debris. Hange rested against the flattened remains of the Port Authority building, two piers before the hangar where she had last seen her friends. Knowing that the piers were 100 metres away from one another and applying simple rule of 3, she reckoned she'd walked 700 metres, give or take, from her landing site to her current position. She inched along and over the rubble, searching for some protrusion that allowed her some shelter; looking upwards as she was, she almost fell into a whole in the earth; her reflexes were still quick enough, though, to avoid adding a bad fall to her condition. Once she recovered from a new ache-induced dizzy spell, she was able to marvel at what had almost swallowed her: A staircase. Heading towards a basement. The full moon thankfully provided enough light to make out that, despite the wrinkled, surrounding terrain, the stairs seemed still solid enough to climb down without fear of cave-ins.

Several minutes, curses and yells later, as she finally reached the lower level and her eye adapted to the faint light, Hange couldn't help but cry with happiness.

She was in a huge utility room of sorts, walls lined with shelves loaded with boxes and tins of every size, tools, bottles, bundles of stuff. There were two doors on each side of the room, though one was caved in with rubble from the ground floor. Another flight of stairs descended to a second basement. There were big fissures on the columns and walls, but the beams looked relatively well. No dust was falling from the cracks.

So hopefully the ceiling won't fall on me and kill me overnight. Though it'd be a better death than dehidration, infection or gangrene.

She walked to the desk propped net to the first door on the right and found one of those torches they had in the continent, which used something called a battery to power a miniature lightbulb. She thought the name was cute. Using the torch, she inspected the shelves, thanking Onyankopon for having taught her to read Marleyan script and bursting again into tears every time she came across something that could help her in the immediate future.

“Yes! Yes! Oh, thank gods! Thank you, thank you, thank you,” she actually cried out upon breaking the lock of the far side cabinet and discovering that it was indeed filled with drugs and medical supplies.

The stuff she needed most, she piled up near the stairs, where the moonlight was enough to see, thus conserving the torch batteries. The door nearest the drug cabinet let to a nurse's office; the one on the left side of the room was a pantry; the one next to the desk was a small office which also contained cleaning utensils.

When she finished her raid, she had blankets, rags, a beaker, bottled water, distilled water, a handful of sugar cubes, a variety of medical supplies, a spoon, and a tin of tuna.

First, she drank some water. There were only so many bottles, so she used the beaker as glass to ration the amount consumed. Next, she stripped, and assessed her wounds. They looked awful and felt worse, but most of the burns were first- and second-degree ones, which seemed to confirm the titans were conserving thermal energy and relying on mechanical force to carry out their raid. Crouching with her left knee on the floor, she bit a leather pen pouch she'd found and proceeded to clean the burns with distilled water, stopping every few moments and putting a sugar cube in her mouth to recover her dropping blood pressure. Once clean, she rubbed ointment on them, using a whole tube of it. The relief was heavenly. Next, she stuck an IV needle of her left hand and helped herself to a bag of saline solution. Then she tended the several scrapes and cuts and, lastly, she bandaged her ankle. With a second beaker of water, she downed a couple of painkillers and a vial of something labelled penicillin which she seemed to recall was good to stave infection. Finally, she ate the tuna with the spoon, half seated at the desk, while she logged the events of the day on the first available notepad.

She woke up in full daylight, burnt skin torturing her again. She was glad to only need 3/4 tube of ointment to mitigate the pain, partly because there were only two more left. She drank two beakers of water and plugged another bag of saline to her arm.

It occurred to her that it was very quiet. It made no sense, of course. The place was already deserted the night before. She thought to go outside, and as her sprained ankle quivered, she had an epiphany.

It’s not sound that’s missing. It’s vibration. They must have stopped it. They stopped the Rumbling!

Laughing with gratitude, she fell back into sleep. She woke up again in the afternoon, shivering. The thermometer confirmed she had a fever. She dragged herself to the nurse’s office, away from the drafts coming from the staircase. Equipped with enough drugs and tins to wait out a couple of days, she lay in the gurney and hoped for the best.

She was in a thick forest, the air hot and damp, clothes stuck to her sweaty body.

“Levi?” she called out. “Levi, where are you?”

“He’s right here,” Ilse Langnar said, gesturing to the tree hollow where her diary had been found.

“Levi!” Hange yelled, running to the tree, rummaging through the mass of torn out limbs that filled the hollow.

“Tch, relax, shitty glasses!” Levi said, leaning cross-armed against the tree. “I’m not dead yet.” He walked away, blood oozing from nowhere and gushing down his fringe and clothes. “And go take a bath, for fuck’s sake. You reek.”

She couldn’t find her IV. She drank the last bag of saline solution. She had to log this.

“I love the way you smell,” Mike said, ramming into her in her bedroom in the Trost barracks. Except it was Onyankopon. But she was fully dressed. And he was actually Mike and was giving her a foot massage, sniffing between each of her toes. “Hmmm … Rancid.”

She poured half a bottle of water over her face trying to drink straight from it. Did she have green peas in her hair? It smelled like shit. Where was the notebook?

“Speak up, you filthy cunt!” Yelena shouted, slapping her left and right with those man hands of her and shoving her across the small cell they were in. The stone walls were cold, humid and covered in slime. Hange held her hands up protectively and saw her fingernails had been ripped off.

“That’s alright, child,” Pastor Nick said, placing a hand on Yelena’s shoulder.

She kneeled at his feet, clawing to his tunic, whimpering. “The stench! I can’t take it!”

Pastor Nick shook her off and turned to Hange, a beatific smile on his face. “Walls bless you,” and he threw a bucket of cold, dirty water at her.

The first thing Hange saw on opening her eyes was a sliver of yellow light projecting from the half-shut doorway onto the ceiling. It must be late afternoon; that’s the only time of the day the sunrays could make it so far into the room.

“You were right, boys …” she smiled to the ceiling. “It fucking stinks in here.”

She sat up with relative ease. She was soaked in her own sweat and had peed herself at some point. Even in the dim light, the room looked like a hurricane had gone through it. Her burns hurt much less; she had no recollection of whether she’d applied more balm or not … How long had it been? Shit, the air did really smell putrid. She had to clean herself, she’d deal with the room later. The good news was that her foot also hurt noticeably less when she stepped down the gurney; the bad news was that the torch was out of batteries. She pulled the door open to let more light in. Something fell down from her head.

Oh. So they were peas alright.

She took the notebook and the last tube of burn ointment (capless, but full) and limped out to the main room. Then, she picked up the necessary things and moved to the entrance for light. Not knowing if she’d find more water than the one still available to her, proper washing was out of the question. She cleaned herself with rags soaked in water and vinegar. The burns looked better; the worse ones were festering some, but the itching was a good sign. She dabbed the pus with a clean gauze, rubbed ointment were possible. The cuts were healing nicely.

Her hair, though, was half burnt, half matted and fully hopeless. She cut it as short as she could, wielding the scissors blindly as the only mirror she’d found was pocket-sized. Not that Mike would suddenly come back from the dead for a quickie and run off again, spooked by her lack of style. She did miss Mike.

Clothing was tricky. There were several uniforms and scrubs available, but the blisters and tender flesh from her ribs to her thigh made it nigh impossible to wear trousers. After some rummaging, she finally put on two hospital gowns, one tied to the back and another to the front, and cut a hole in a blanket to fashion a poncho.

When she was done making herself presentable, Hange sat at the desk and checked her notes from the fever. If they could be called notes. There was indecipherable scrawling, disjointed words, random lines, and a smear of something that looked suspiciously like excrement. She tore that page off and binned it with a grimace. Sighing, she grabbed some food and for the first time in … however long it had been, she climbed up the stairs.

The setting sun was just touching the sea, calm as a lake now, debris neatly lumped along the shoreline. She sat on a flat chunk of concrete, taking in the view. If the Rumbling had stopped when she thought it had, there must be still a fraction of humanity left to build from the wreckage. If she had been able to survive with such slim odds, there had to be many more people whose lives had been spared by the skin of their teeth.

There was enough food supplies in that basement to last for more than a week, two if she rationed them wisely. There had to be more intact basements with non-perishable food, kitchen utensils, clothes, medicines, stationery. She knew how to make a fire. She was certain she would eventually find a broken pump or fountain from which to get drinking water and, if not, she would find the way to obtain it from rain and dew. Plants would regrow. Animals would breed.

She opened a can of peaches in syrup and a bottle of beer and treated herself to it. It was an evening to celebrate.

Sooner or later, someone would find her.

By then, she would be ready. Never mind that she’d missed a few days of notes. From now on, she’d log everything. And when they did find her, they would know every effect and consequence of the Rumbling in this city in the weeks, months, or years to come. It would be the most comprehensive case study of the continent. She owed her friends that much.

“Till we meet again.” She raised her beer towards the setting sun.

It was a pyrrhic victory, but victory at last.

Ok, people, I actually thought that this blog was over. (Since it has been deleted several times by the system) But miracles happen! 😅🧡

And also today my friends reblogged my post about the fic on Rivamika that I finished two weeks ago. So I remembered.

Remembered that I wanted to actually write it here earlier. But the blog didn’t work. So I said quite the same words at the end of the fic.

But still I’ll repeat them here.

Sorry for the rant 😅

Last fall I went absolutely nuts. And wrote a 32 chapter fic. Then went even more nuts and translated it into English. 😅

And that experience and then posting a chapter every week - made me so happy. Made me realise so many things that I denied myself. 🌻

I put in this writing so much emotions. That I never thought I was capable of expressing any more.

And that all was possible thanks to good hearted people who inspired me and welcomed me to this fandom, supported me, talking, commenting. I really never deserved such kindness.

I just want to say thank you guys.

Thank you @nuri148 for your beautiful work that really warmed my heart and reminded of two people dear to me. Thank you for the idea that let me “make sense of this story”. For always supporting me and staying with this story, for all the comprehending and sharing emotions. That was gold.

Thank you my dear @byhimawari , for supporting me, for all those long emotional reviews all the understanding. So many times your responses really made me cry with joy 😭🧡

Thank you @callmewhenyouresleepy for all our talks here on tumblr! Thank you for your kind words and compliments. For feeling what I feel about our favourite character 🧡

Thank you @onigiri-dorkk for welcoming me to this fandom. For just being who you are. For supporting me. For all your thoughtful analysing comments! For the shared feelings and thoughts!

Thank you @binibchielq for welcoming me to our safest server! (And I know you already enjoying the story; and I promise to read “when the wind blows”) 😅

Thank you @cryinginthebackseat - for all your kind words about my writing and efforts; for enjoying this story and just being nice to me❤️‍🩹

All the people that gave me “kudoes”, commented and shared their emotions.

And @chaosisbeauty23 🧡 If I never found your works last autumn I don’t even know… I don’t want to think about the universe where I never found them. They taught me so much and helped me heal and revive what I’d thought had been broken for so long. ❤️‍🩹

Love you all. ❤️‍🩹 I’m sad the canon story of AOT ended as it ended. But thanks to it - I found you. And - I guess it’s easy to figure it out - my fic was partly “about all of us”🧡

Rivamika Fic Suggestions List 2

Hey there again! It’s been a while since my last rivamika post and I apologies for that. I caught the reading bug and have just been hitting book after book. I might be doing a book of the month suggestion starting in March. I’m still thinking about it but if that is something your interested in let me know. Or if you just want book suggestions just message or ask me. But for now, I’m back with my second Rivamika Fic Suggestions List.

First of all, I want to thank you for all the comments and messages I received from my first list! I think it has over 150 notes now which is crazy for me. I was going to be ecstatic if it got like 10 likes or something hahaha! I’ve enjoyed talking to some of you about fics and other snk stuff. Feel free to do the same after this post! I know I take awhile to respond but swear I get there eventually.

Same rules as last time. I’ve split this list up into four categories. I wanted to let people know the status of some of these fics in case they did not want to start an incomplete or in progress story. All of these fics can be found on AO3. I’m going to try to link them but we will see how tumblr acts today. If you have any fic suggestions for me, feel free to message me with them and I can add them on to the next list. If any author sees their story on here and wants me to take it off the list, please let me know I don’t wish to make anyone feel uncomfortable. Also, last thing, I highly recommend leaving comments and kudos to the authors. I know that they greatly appreciate it and it helps them with improving their writing through feedback. Okay shutting up now, ON WITH THE LIST!

DISCLAIMER: I know that not all of these stories are not for everyone, these are just my opinions and suggestions.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Completed:

- Thunder Clouds

Author: K_Lionheart

Rating: Mature

Sometimes I like to go to the very back of the Rivamika archive on AO3 and look for fics that have gotten buried over time. Low and behold what I have found lol! I enjoyed the emotional roller coaster when I was reading this fic, though sometimes I wanted to pull my hair out. Set after the titans are gone, humanity has to repopulate so arranged couples by the monarch are made to be wed. While this new order is being enforced, Mikasa and Levi are trying to work out their strained relationship. A slow burn with angst that will have you staying up till 3am dying to know what happens next. I know that there is a sequel to this fic called Nimbus and I’m slowly working my way through that one. Honestly, it will probably go on my next list.

- Red is the Only Colour

Author: mongoose_bite

Rating: Mature

A cute fic that was a quick but wild ride. A Little Red Riding Hood type of AU where Mikasa is a hunter of some sorts traveling through a town. I don’t want to say how Levi plays into all of this since it gets border line spoilers but just know that he is there. It is an opening ending fic for the author to come back if they plan on doing so but it can be interpreted in different ways. All in all, a fic worth of the quick read.

- Sing Me a Song

Author: LazyTrash

Rating: Mature

First I have to get this off my chest, I love the author’s name hahaha! I freakin wished I would have thought of that for mine! Anyway, this fic is wonderful but I will warn you that its a gut punch. If you like hurt and angst put together, then this is the story for you. I love these types of fics because I adore them so much but they hurt me in my soul. I don’t know what that says about me but whatever. I don’t want to delve into the story too much for spoilers but I would suggest rivamika fans to check this one out.

- Midnight Musings

Author: Raewyll

Rating: Teen

I just started to read Raewyll’s fics so I’m slowly working my way through all her works. This one caught my eye and I had to read it. This is a cute take on a chance meeting through texting the wrong number. I love the way Levi and Mikasa’s relationship blossoms into something more serious after causally texting back and forth. It’s one of those stories that I can only describe as being cute as shit! I’m definitely going to be checking out more of Raewyll’s fic in the future.

Ongoing:

- Beyond the Walls

Author: helena3190

Rating: Matue

If you love RIvamika angst, then look no further than this baby right here. This is currently my favorite ongoing fic. It was supposed to be a shorter story, but the author keeps adding more chapters so I’m not complaining hahaha! This fic is pretty much how I would *personally* picture canon Mikasa on how she would deal with realizing that she’s falling in love with someone. Its mostly told in the perspective of Mikasa as she is dealing with the after effects of war and trying to figure out what should she do with her life now that she is no longer a solider. Her feeling for Levi come with a lot of confusion as she’s discovering emotions that she has never felt before. She has a hard time pinpointing on what exactly describes her relationship with him. I’m anxiously waiting for the final chapter for this fic and dying to see how it will end for Mikasa and Levi.

- After the War

I am loving this rivamika slow burn fic right here. Its similar to Beyond the Walls but I think the author adds their own taste of the 1920s into it. Set after the war is over (obviously), Mikasa and Levi have to figure out what they are going to do the rest of their lives. It has great tension, a perfectly paced gradual romance and just the right amount of humor to combat the emotional turmoil it puts you through. Again in my opinion, this is close to how I would realistically perceive Levi and Mikasa’s relationship evolving. I’m really enjoying this story and I’m looking forward to more updates to come!

A new fic that is just getting started but I can tell that what the author has in store is going to be interesting. Set several years after the end of the war, Levi and Mikasa are loving parents to a single child. Their peaceful life comes to an end when the family has a threat against them. There are not many long fics about Mikasa and Levi being parent so I was very happy when this one popped up on the AO3 feed. An exciting adventure awaits the Ackerman family now and I can’t wait to see where this fic goes in the future. There are three chapters as of now so head over there and check it out.

One of the gems I found when diving back into the Rivamika archive. Ugh I HATE that this fic is incomplete!!! Its a good long fic but I’m greedy and I need more! I will give a warning first that this fic does contain heavy themes. Mikasa and Levi are in the underground to fight against a criminal ring. This story is a slow burn with action and emotional trauma. There is a wonderfully written OC that you easily get attached to its not even funny. Even though its not completed, I would highly recommend checking it out. I still have three more chapters to finish but I had to put it on this list. I know that I’m going to be pissed once I reach the last chapter written. If someone know MissErikaCourt, let her know that she needs to comeback to finish this masterpiece!

Another one that I DISPISE its incomplete!!! Ugh such a great Office AU. It’s everything that I would want in an Office AU setting. Mikasa struggles between her committed long term relationship and her growing attraction (which starts to develop into some feelings) to her boss, Levi. Its hot, sexy and intriguing and it pisses me off that its not finished! The author writes each chapter as a one-shot but collectively together they tell the whole story. Highly recommend even though its so short. BORNSINNER where ever you are in the universe I hope you come back to finish this!!!

- Two Lines

Author: Crejhov

Rating: Mature

When this was getting updated it was my favorite on-going Rivamika fic. I would find myself checking to see if the author updated with a new chapter every week! The unplanned pregnancy trope is a classic one, but Crejhov does a fantastic job on keeping readers enthralled with soo many anticipated character meet up that are bound to cause hurdles for our expecting parents. This story is told from the perspectives of Mikasa and Levi in order for us to understand where their mindsets are as they plan for their expecting child and deal with their relationship. AHHHHH I want more of this!!! I was soo excited to see where this awkward journey was going to take Mikasa and Levi. CREJHOV COME BACK PLEASE I KNOW YOU HAVE WORK BUT PLEAAASEEEE! I NEEEEEEDDDD!!!

- Cabin Fever

Author: AmayaOkami

Rating: Mature

All I should have to say about this is that its written by AmayaOkami and that should explain it. Amaya is the one that gave us the beautiful incomplete rivamika fic Romance and Rivalry. I just adore her writing. Levi and Mikasa relationship evolves as they are standing guard over the arrested Kenny Ackerman. Secrets are discover about the Ackermans and it gets pretty steamy between our two favs. Great fluff and great sexual tension that leaves you wanting more chapters! Again AmayaOkami where ever you went I hope for some miracle that you come back and complete this one too!

One-Shot:

- Jade

Author: shulkie

Rating: Mature

This one-shot feels like I read a novel, it has such a great storyline. An arranged marriage between Mikasa and Levi leaves the relationship strained in the beginning. Their relationship evolves over time as Levi patiently brings down Mikasa’s wall. With smut added for all of your one-shot needs. Definitely worth the read in my opinion.

- What Remains

Author: Mirime

Rating: Mature

This one-shot gives us a glimpse into the secret relationship that Levi and Mikasa have been having while there are still scouts. This fic is sad but I would say it has a bittersweet ending. I think this was supposed to be part of a collection but I can’t find the rest of them. Still a great read by itself.

This fic is cute as shit! A College AU where Mikasa and Levi are childhood friends. Levi has to deal with Mikasa being at the same college as him while he is struggling with his changing feelings towards a grown up Mikasa. Worth the read as I said cute as shit, leaves you all warm and fuzzy lol!

Another hot smut one-shot coming your way! Levi and Mikasa have had an ongoing affair and this just recounts their first time together. Its just some good ol’ Rivamika smut that I think that everyone in this community would enjoy.

- Nutty: Drunk in Love

Author: Hallow17

Rating: Mature

A fun smut to read about Mikasa getting “revenge” on her asshole boss, Levi. Things don’t go the way she plans as things get a little heated in the sexy way. A quick smut that I think is perfect for a little Rivamika crave.

Another fun smut to read by Hallow17. Levi has been stressed out at work and Mikasa finds a way to help him get his mind off it (if you know what i mean). Again perfect for a Rivamika quick fix.

@waitingcantlastforever​ Hi dear, i’ve decided to make a separate post because i’m sure i couldn’t fit all i have to write in the replies.

Before i start i would like to wish you a Happy New Year  and welcome you to the Rivamika family <3 I’m sure you will enjoy this fandom filled with lovely and talented people. 

For the fanfiction i would like to mention that Modern AU’s are not really my cup of tea and this applies to all fanfiction not just to Rivamika ones. I prefer those set in the Canon Universe. I haven’t managed to go trough all the Rivamika fics but from the ones i’ve read here are some that i really loved:

Subtle Unraveling by StormyInk rated M

From animosity to grudging respect to a reluctant, ripening attraction, slowly but surely, humanity's strongest soldiers begin to unravel at their seams.

Bloody But Unbowed by ValiantEpic rated E

In the wake of Eren's disappearance in Marley, Mikasa is left with an overwhelming amount of feelings. Levi can't pick up the pieces, but he can provide something else entirely. Something unexpected. Something they both didn't know they wanted or needed.

Speak Not of the Blackbirds by ghosty rated T

One mission gone wrong leads to an ancient forest, a mysterious town, and a race to safely return to the Walls called home with the odds against them.

All bets are off: they work together, or die.

like real people do by caesar rated G

After a taxing evening, Mikasa savors a quiet cup of tea with Levi.

Same Old Thing by Raewyll rated M

With the Captain dragged away in chains, Mikasa once again finds herself facing the greatest threat inside of the Walls: human nature.

Illuminated by Raewyll rated M

Fully aware of the damage his squad can cause running amok, Levi goes to check on his soldiers while they are out drinking with the rest. Apparently, Mikasa is still holding onto grudges from times long past and the Captain too has some frustrations he needs to sort out. Things are bound to end up messy.

Straight Shooter by riverMika rated T

The tide of the war is turning, and Captain Levi is hell-bent on keeping Mikasa alive. As to why, she can only guess.

Shut up and dance by shipsshape11 rated M

A fucking dance.

Levi still couldn’t believe that he, a captain of the Survey Corps, was actually standing here. Why had he agreed to come? His gaze fell upon the entrance of the dining hall and his breath hitched in his throat.

She was here.

Oh, he thought, helplessly. That’s why.

The world at the tip of my fingers by SlaveToGravity rated T

The summary for this fic is very long so i won’t post it but i feel like this is a really underrated fic. I for one loved it so much, it was so soft ♡

Just Until the Storm Has Gone by MoraLeeWright rated E

It was the way he walked that got her: the power in his stride, the confidence with which he moved, never arrogant. Each night she became more and more restless, and each night he looked more and more attractive. Something had been building—a pressure slowly rising and liable to burst. And perhaps it had been growing for a while now, well before she'd arrived at his doorstep with a storm at her back. Mikasa was at the end of her rope. And the war had ended a while ago.

The Song Remains the Same by MoraLeeWright rated M

After a mission goes wrong, Mikasa feels a familiar power awaken within her from years ago. Only this time it seems to form an inexplicable connection between her and Captain Levi, leaving them to question themselves and the name of Ackerman.

happily ever after by hashire rated G-M

A series that explores Levi and Mikasa’s relationship in times of peace.

Out in Search by helena3190 rated T

While the Scouts remain stationed on the Coast, there are distinct moments between Levi and Mikasa that blur between camaraderie and friendship, transition their odd kinship to an indisputable connection. Is that all it is, though?

Happy reading, i hope you enjoy this list ♡

[renaerys]

This is a multi ask question. 1. How did you get into the reds? Like what made them stand out to you that didn't for the other two ships. 2. Do you have any color crack ships? 3. I know in BTM you had Blossom xBoomer develop a bond and become good friends so do you think you'll have that brotp development for the others? I know Brickx Buttercup couldn't stand each other in the story but would they get along in a future fic of yours. Or exist in a headcanon. Or any of the ppgxrrb being friends with a different counterpart. 4. What's your pet peeves in this fandom? I have plenty but that's a post for later. What traits are the characters given that you hate? Tropes you wish would die? Tropes you wish were used more? 5. Can you explain why Dexter is used a lot in this fandom?? I'm aware that there was a comic by bleedman where Dexter and Blossom were a couple I believe but aside from that I'm confused on why he's in fics. Was there a crossover episode i missed?? I like Dexter and loved Dexter's Lab but can we just keep him in his show. His presence in the fandom doesn't really fit imo.

Wow okay, long ask! I think they must have changed the ask character limit recently, which is great. It’s nice not having to send multiple asks. Thanks for numbering, the lawyer in me is extremely grateful for the organization! ;)

1. I love the Reds’ dynamic. Everyone interprets it differently, but for me it’s the “dark edge lord I’m-great-at-life prestige whore with deep-seated emotional insecurities but a good heart that wants to put in the work to improve and be better” type shipped with the “confident, courageous no-nonsense HBIC who is emotionally intelligent but wholly and vocally not taking responsibility for your toxic masculinity/emotional baggage bullshit” type. They challenge each other to grow beyond their flaws and shortcomings while highlighting/mirroring some of the same fun or positive qualities in each other. It’s a true match of equals. Other ships I like with this dynamic are SasoSaku, IzaNamie, Zutara, and RivaMika, among others.

2. I like Butchubbles, Blossoomer, and Bersoomer. I also ship Boomike and Robbles. How about just Boomer x Everyone??? He’s perfect, case closed, let’s all go home.

3. Brick and Buttercup will have a friendship arc in the BTM sequel. It’s like a friendship between two people that blooms because they realize they hate all the same things, which imo is the only true basis for a lasting friendship. I’ll also be further developing Butchubbles and Blossoomer friendships because I love them dearly. 

4. A few, but the biggest and most annoying one to me is the unrepentant bad boy asshole Brick who never apologizes for his behavior, who is loved and/or admired by everyone in spite of (or, alarmingly, because of) his bad boy assholery. It is depressingly ubiquitous in this fandom in particular. Narratives that endorse this behavior by him and either forgive it blindly or worse, glorify it, make me want to claw my eyes out. It is perpetuating, reinforcing, and rewarding the idea of toxic masculinity, the “I can fix him” trope, and the “not like other girls” trope because his love interest and no one else can magically change him for the better. Ladies (and gentlemen), taking on a person’s emotional baggage and doing the work for them while also acting as the narrative’s tool to absolve their bad behavior without ever exposing, correcting, and changing it is objectively TERRIBLE. Don’t be fooled into thinking it’s romantic. It’s nothing but toxic, sexist, and gross. It is a trope that needs to die in a fire. It is the reason I specifically wrote BTM Brick’s arc the way I did, to fight against this awful trope. Thank you, next.

5. Not sure. I’ve heard of that comic that uses him and ships him with Blossom, but I’ve never read it so I can’t speak to it. I imagine the reason he is included in fics is because Dexter’s Laboratory aired on Cartoon Network at the same time as PPG, and they had some crossover in staff (e.g., Gendy Tartakovsky worked on both shows). There are some Easter eggs in the shows that reference each other, for example, a couple PPG episodes where Dexter is shown to be a student at Pokey Oaks in the background. We can consider them all as part of the same universe in a sense. I don’t really have much of an opinion on his inclusion as a character in fics, but I can understand why some people might not like it. Crossovers are not for everyone, and if he’s just used as shipping fodder, that in and of itself can be executed poorly. I’m sure he can be used well too. Just depends on the story and the writer.

#y'all really interested in my random opinions on the internet?? #well cool #i have a lot of them 0.0 #Anonymous

[moraleewright]

So I've got a question for you. What about Levi and Mikasa appeals to you as a writer? How did you get the idea for your current fic? Also... I'm going to stalk you over on the othjer site now :)

Hello, Madam! Ooh good questions. I’ll try to keep it brief so your eyes don’t glaze over. But feel free to skim. ;)

For a ship, the idea of the “power couple” in any universe appeals to me. I’m also a sucker for the age old ElizabethxDarcy, love/hate trope; Levi is a bit of a grumpy old lady, and I like the idea of Mikasa not taking any of his shit. She’s also a hotheaded brat and he’ll probably knock her down from that high horse. Aside from their similarities–their unprecedented skills and take-no-prisoners attitudes–I like exploring their differences as well. I believe there is a ying and yang component (in both of them, not exclusive to gender) that balances the relationship nicely and makes for good fanfic material!

We don’t have Levi’s exact age–in official canon he’s described being in his 30s–so I always pictured there being a 10-15 year gap between him and M. In my story I’ve placed Mikasa at 20 and Levi at 35. Now, I’m aware that larger age gaps can make some people uncomfortable–I know we’ve discussed this–and I certainly understand that and have my own limits, but I feel it is another component that is well suited for their dynamic and fits my headcanons/fics. Mikasa, like many young people in the SnK universe, has been forced to grow up much quicker than should be expected. Furthermore, I believe she inherently possesses a mature personality that is well beyond her years. Factoring this into the dynamic, M is able to relate to L on a fundamental level given they both have seen some *fucked up shiiiit* and she’s also smart enough to bridge any gaps she may not have first hand experience with. That being said, of course she’s not some worldly, unrealistically intelligent character without flaws/setbacks due to her age. But again, I believe it’s all fodder for a fic. Same with Levi–he’s a grouchy, bitter, OCD, jaded, grunge-punk kid stuck in a little man’s body, and so of course he’s going to have his own limitations.

This all leads to how my fic started, and it was really due to the suggestion of a friend. Levi isn’t the most “romantic” character in SnK, and it’s safe to assume he has limited experience in that field. I’ve actually read a few fics/HCs wherein writers depict him as having no experience. I find that really intriguing, even though I didn’t adhere to the virgin!Levi thing for my fic. (uhh, spoilers?) That being said, Levi is a competent character. No matter his level of experience, he’s not going to go for some mewling brat who’s 10-15yrs his junior and acts like it. While I wouldn’t label Mikasa as that, her character is interesting enough that there’s room to develop her emotionally. Starting with her relationship to Eren. The biggest barrier in a RivaMika ship usually lands on M’s feelings for Eren. So that’s where this fic started. How can I show this girl’s journey into womanhood, wherein she leaves behind all her childhood things, let’s go of that one relationship that will always be unrequited, and realize that she can start living for herself and making her own decisions outside of said devotion for that person?

Phew, yeah, so much for keeping it brief. And I did edit. These are just my ideas as they pertain to this ship, and I know many people disagree/have different opinions. But I thank you for being so awesome and showing interest even though it’s not your ship! And for reading my story, omg! This is giving me ideas, so be expecting a Q in your inbox soon…

Mora :)

[canon-rivamika]

YO, so. I've realized that, assuming at least canonically mutual feelings, Rivetra is a super important precursor to RivaMika. Petra was the badass female fighter in Levi's life who saw him for all his flawed self, two things which Mikasa is in his life now. You could practically see it as a "type" for Levi! Except Mikasa's no walk in the park in comparison, which makes her presence jolting and probably all the more intriguing, no?

Ohmygosh nonnie, I love Rivetra and I agree with everything you said. You captured the exact same feelings I had long ago when I was a mournful Rivetra shipper on the brink of shipping Rivamika. Mikasa came along and shook things up in Levi’s life, and I was like “this is it. this is the ship. they were made for each other, oh my god.” That was the most excited I’d ever been about a ship.

Actually some of my favorite canon universe fics are Rivetra + romantic/platonic! Rivamika with Levi learning how to cope with his loss, trying to move on from Petra, all the while having to deal with a way taller female subordinate who’s got a snarky and rebellious attitude and makes fun of his height. Definitely a stark contrast to cute Petra’s presence. *smirks*  And that’s what makes it so interesting!

Mikasa is just as important to Levi’s character development as he is to hers.

Hello hello!

I haven't been super active here, mostly reblogs and the odd two cents on a thread about Blorbo from my shows.

I'll have you know that, after starting a wip I lost interest in and producing a funny little fic which, I'm glad to say, got better reception than I expected, I am, in fact, writing. It's not rivamika for now, but another installment of my arumika series (which exists in the same universe that will become Clarity). I have an almost finished first draft of a ~3k fic and, in principle, I intend to write a few one shots (still don't know how many) to tell the rest of their story.

Depending on how long that takes (I'm taking it very easy) and what my muse feels like, I might produce a different thing in between, either in the Clarity universe or one of the other ideas I have.

Next month I'll be travelling to Japan and I'm super excited. I'll try to post updates of the trip as I go. Lmk if you want to be tagged in those!
