#aot before the fall

[jayteacups]

Trying to come up with things that will fill The Void ™️ after AOT is finished and I was thinking of reading AOT: Before the Fall for the lore, so…

FYI I’m thinking of reading the manga version, not the novel version.

#not many people know about it #i knew one person who read it and they liked it at first but then stopped enjoying it after a short while #it’s barely referenced in the story and fandom #but i’m curious bc again i love finding out about lore #help me out lol #jayteacups rambles #aot before the fall #aot #snk

“I like you like you, and I have no idea what to do about it.”

You want to reach out to him, hold him, but you’re not sure if it is the right thing to do.

“I want to be by your side. Always,” you whisper, seeing the little boy inside of him that just wants to be loved. Not beaten black and blue. Not being called hero; not being called humanity’s strongest soldier. He looks at you with an expression that is completely unguarded.

You don’t overthink this time. For once you’re brave, all the love you amassed for years drives you to him, in a fleeting touch of lips. The deities listened to your prayers, he’s alive, safe and doesn’t have to brandish a sword anymore. You have the rest of your boring lives to draft the story you yearn for.

Only if he’s willing to.

You touch his cheek, brushing the tears away. The room is cold, even after the nurse had closed the window before leaving. He lets his face be held and you can feel him melt into you. Before you know it, he’s in your arms, his head now buried in the space between your shoulder and chest, your fingers lost in the silky ends of his hair.

“When you see me what do you see, y/n?” His voice is hoarse in pain. You feel his trembling, the hissing of his every fiber. His tears kiss your skin through the weave of your shirt.

“A scared little boy, a brave soldier, the most handsome man.”

A chuckle ripples down his chest, wreaking havoc on his ribcage.

“I will never be that man again, y/n.” He says in a brittle murmur. “With this body I will never be able to protect you." He pauses, moistening his chapped lips. "You’re free now to do whatever you want.”

“And I want to be with you.” You press a kiss on his cheek, on the untarnished skin.

“Save the pity.”

You pull away and look at his broken eyes through the bandages. “It’s not pity what ties me to you. I love you, Levi.”

“But-“ He gazes down, misty eyed, recalling the day Kenny walked away for not being strong enough. Now he can’t even wipe his ass without help.

Fuck.

Embarrassment, shame, chagrin consume him.

A useless, bedridden drop of a man.

You don’t deserve this.

You’re still young, pretty, and wild. And no matter how badly he craves a life with you, he can’t be selfish.

With a quivering iris, he looks at you in the eye, at the brink of falling apart. “Please go, y/n.” He takes a deep breath, waits two seconds, detaching, and snuggles under the white sheets.

Beads of tears glisten on your eyelashes. “Is that what you want?” Your voice snaps like dry leather.

But he can’t meet your eyes and answer you because he cannot lie to your face.

The chair legs screech, you grab your purse; he can hear the keys clanking about. Your footsteps dwindle, the doorknob turns. A black hole opens in the middle of his chest, engulfing it all.

You wait, beg silently for him to stop you. But the further you go, more and more cracks appear, rupturing the future you dreamed of.

He loves you too, and has no idea what to do about it.

"Levi, I'm not sleepy." Nope, you're wide awake.

"Please love, just try." Levi finally is though, for once.

"I have, I'm just not-" You start.

"I'll give you anything you want." He opens his eyes to look at you.

"You do that anyway." You turn to him.

He leans in to press your foreheads together. "Go to sleep." He all but growls, only making you giggle.

After a couple minutes of playful, light banter, you're finally situated with your head on Levis chest, his arms around you.

Suddenly you're very content not to move and are steadily lulled to sleep by the rhythm of his heartbeat.

Levi let's out a small sigh, stroking your hair gently until he knows your sleeping and his arm gets too tired to continue.

"And I always will." He whispers before following you to dreamland.

As long as it's within his power, he will always give you whatever your heart desires.

It's Levi himself, your heart beats happiest for.

Hi Nina! I'm sorry you're feeling so low :< and I know you're not really up for answering HC questions, but whenever you are I was just wondering: Are all the chars genderbent in TKAK?

hello, sweet pea! you are so wonderful, thank you for checking in. <3

feeling fresh as a daisy! or a wound. haha, jk! :)

i am going to try and pull myself up by the laces of my new pink docs, put on a brave face, be kind to myself and take it easy if i can. i truly hope i do not get verbally eviscerated today, but you never know.

anyways! *rises from the deepest and darkest throes of my depression to answer this tkak question bc i am insane* hskdlasks

to which i will also say...No, Actually? for starters, i just think it would be super complicated to try and flip-flop quite literally everyone ( plus i already left randy/sharon/shelley as their respective south park genders ) but i also think all the other characters just...work the best as their OG genders? ( save for the ones that May change them )

for example, in tkak, the main three...

( does not include kenny because kenny is princess kenny, who is, ofc, a girl in tsot/tkak and uses she/her <3 ily princess kenny mWAH )

...are butters, stas and craig. :')

i fucking love them so much, ohhh my god.

ODD SQUAD RISE!!!

stas really did...

…round up all the weird lil misfit kupa keep boys lmao.

so butters, stas has been looking out for since they were little bc he's very meek and soft-spoken. the kk boys are really, really cruel to him, bully/beat him up often, generally give him hell. so stas gives it right back usually! not with her fists ofc! she's a pacifist <3 ( though i do think she could beat all of their asses lmao ) and just uses her words.

she is very convincing, forthright and is a natural born leader tbh. so the boys usually fuck off when she comes around and once they go, she checks on butters all concerned, sighs gently, then checks him for broken bones and bruises. he is her special guy, who Does start in tkak as butters but, as we know, all my butters are just marjorine in a misleading boy font ( ew ) so keep your One Eye out for that. ;)

so stas will not throw a punch but...craig...Deeeefinetly will lmao.

because of the undiagnosable medieval autism, people think craig is really weird bc he's super quiet and when he does speak, it's in a monotone and hes usually super rude/out of pocket. ily craig. but yeah, no, he will beat ur ass, frfr. he cracks his knuckles and all the rowdy lil gang boys are like ahhh hell no!! RUN! & think he is a freak.

stas likes him v much tho <3 :* also bc craig is super mega gay and was the one boy who Didn't proposition her hand in marriage. they do think about getting betrothed a lot just to avoid the mess of their parents constantly trying to get them married off haha. btw he is still rogue!craig and pickpockets/pilfers things often. stas does shake her head at him 25/8 because Tis Dishonorable, Craig! which is seriously ironic given her current situation, but when he does steal wine and stuff from the tavern cellar...she does not refuse it. lmaooooo.

speaking of being super mega gay tho, in tkak, wendy is gwendolyn :) she just goes by wendy, stas is uhhhh...Enchanted by her. helppp. wendy is constantly like messing up her hair, gives her The Business but thinks its endearing that she's always running amok with all the boys in her dad's pants & once made a joke ( it was a lil too real tho ) abt how if she were Going to take a husband, she'd hope very much that they be like stas and that it really is a terrible shame she's a girl.

WHICH???? HELLLLOOOOOO???? anyways stas is like Ohh My God not impure thoughts abt women and temptations of the flesh AGAIN!! fuck my entire life lmaooo!!! stas has had a rlly stressful long haul lowkey gay crush on wen since they were little kids, its such a mess, & craig Regularly makes fun of her for it BOO!!! she's all blushin and sputterin like Shut Thy Mouth Tucker Before I Put Mine Lips Upon Yours!!! and does chase him around making crazy kissing noises w/ craig retching like STAY BACK DEMON LMAOOO!!!

anyways....live laugh love tkak, stas n the boys n gwendy.

-uncle nina, who is un-sadgirling to answer this ask.

p.s. please note that quite literally every stas/wendy interaction goes something like this:

stas being like Oh God She Approaches, How Doth My Hair Look? and craig says...like you haven't washed it in three days time. and shes like FUUUUCK but butters is like it is Fine, stas! just be emboldened in your words!! tryin to smooth out her shirt n shit ohhh my god. then wendy gets there like good evening, craig, butters...

anastasia ;) and stas is like HJSjahahaha! smood schmeving smendy ( RIP she could not speak ) ft craig abt to lose it laughing and butters trying to shush him but lmao it gets Worse bc then stas tries to save it all like your, uh...frock looks rather Fetching in the moonlight! particularly the bodice NOT THAT I WAS LOOKING UPON IT ( heelp ) it just fell within my eyeline & i thought to tell you it was...Pleasing?

( ohhhh my god stas please ) and wendy was like -squints fondly- ah...well, thank you, stas? i think? truly, i was not at all troubled by its appearance and composition, but i am glad you find it, erm, pleasing? to your...honorable and unwandering...eyes? either way, i shall sing the seamstress your high praises and see you all on the morrow. <3 but before i depart...wendy legit leans in and stas is abt to throw up i'm not even joking bc wendy is sooo close to her face...

...then just pulls a leaf out of her hair like i found this nested in your hair and thought you might wish it banished from you and stas is like AHAHAHA YES WOW MANY THANKS SEE YOU ON THE MORROW GWENDOLY--and like leans back to try and look cool and eats shit on a barrel SMHHHHH and craig and butters are making fun of her so hard like yOuR fRocK iS veRy PleAsinG SchmEndoLyn and stas is like ohmygodddd shutupshutshutSHUTUUUP ALAS!!! i am Ruined boys! that was more despairing than death! a hundred times worse than HELL! later, i shall craft a sword and Fall Upon It, but for tonight, craig, please tell me you have procured some ale. i wish to drown my endless sorrows in it ;-;;; IM CRYING GIRL FAIL STAS!!!

#thank u for ur kind words friend i am doing my best #but yeah no all the other chars start tkak as their og genders in sp but you know...you never know...the winds of change are in the air #listen tho!!! i love stas and the boys so bad theyre soooo funny they are giving eren mikasa and armin if uve seen aot #they are truly so funny they are such legends and icons #medieval odd squad RISE #also not stas' gay ass crush on wendy and her constantly crying and throwing up its so unserious #THAT JOKE WAS A LITTLE TOO REAL WENDY LIKE MAN OH MY GOD STAS THOUGHT ABT THAT FOR MONTHS #craig and butters pointing and laughing she is like i wish i killed ppl bc both of you would be first!!! shes had ENOUGH #SHUT UP TUCKER BEFORE I PUT MINE LIPS UPON URS and craig being like EWEWEWEW shadlksad they do drink stolen mead on rooftops together <3 #they do also bond abt having fucked up families/childhoods also i fucking love them so much i am passionate abt them #stas trying to talk to wendy is so funny i am dead shes so dramatic like I Am Going To Fall Upon My Sword Pls Fetch Me The Ale #so unserious shes soooooo dramatic im KHDKSLHd #NOT THAT I WAS LOOKING UPON IT LIKE OHJHHHH MY GOOOOODD IM CRYING #stas like boys do not jest or i will Throw Myself From The Belltower #and craig is like Make Haste HAHAJSSKS MAAAN #THE DISRESPECT #stas threatening to k word herself after every failed wendy interaction is too real

And, as someone who is fan of age gaps and the younger crushing on the older one, I would also love if Jiang Cheng found kid Levi and took care of him. Levi can fight with his feelings but once he accepts it, oh boy. Better conquer Jiang Cheng's heart before Jin Ling finds out

#jc in his late teens/early twenties finding this unfortunate kid #i can't decide if it should be before or after kenny cause i don't want to take away the kenny-levi arc #but also jc seeing this malnourished kid who's a breath away from death #oof #he would motherhen him so hard #and levi would be distrustful but hey free food and a place to live #and he slowly realises that jc is actually just very kind (to him at least) #anyone who tries to hurt him or levi can deal with a very angry and protective jc #levi who slowly falls for jc as he grows up and vows to protect him too #jc who doesn’t even realise #jl who would like to be a spoiled brat for a little more but now he has to compete with levi #levicheng #jiang cheng #levi ackerman #jin ling #perhaps jl isn’t even there but with his own parents #jc making a deal so jl can get out from the underground with jyl whose legs are giving up #snk #aot #mdzs

This is how I’ve been showing up lately

#the constant expectations to always be put together as a woman is exhausting #i wanna be a hot mess sometimes #I’ve been so emotional abt Aot too like it’s an end of an era #it’s the last month as a community before moving on #it really changed my life n introduced me to a lot #love it unconditionally #I’m also on the verge of falling asleep so don’t mind me #g’​night #talks

It's too bad Kuklo from the Before The Fall prequel manga wasn't born during the timeline of the series proper. Because Hange would just take one look at the newborn baby puked out by a titan and be like "THIS IS MY CHILD NOW!!! LEVI, ERWIN, YOU'RE UNCLES!!!" Even if Kuklo's not a titan (but he can sense them like he's a living radar), being brought up by the survey corps is a much kinder fate than his canonical one of being abused and enslaved like an animal.

I have not actually read Before The Fall 🙈 but it's definitely been on my list of stuff to read! (There's too many stuff on that list though lol rip) But damn (just searched it up, his pregnant mum got eaten by a titan?? bro. this guy's not even five seconds out of the womb and he's already having it rough 😭) You're totally right Hange would just see this baby being puked out by a titan and instantly want to adopt him. Everyone is very confused since, you know, they saw him being puked up by a literal titan but Hange would protect the fuck out of this kid, will literally threaten to rip apart anybody that even looks at him funny or says anything derogatory to him because he came out of a titan's mouth. And Levi and Erwin and presumably all the other vets are equally as protective and Kuklo grows up with like a dozen extremely over protective helicopter parent soldiers 😭😂

TW: vanilla sex with Levi <3

(not proofreading)

He strokes your cheek with the flats of his fingernails, a ginger caress. The lines of his permanent scowl have softened with the years. Levi is beautiful despite the scars that creep over his face. Despite the wrinkles creasing at the corners of his eyes. Despite the salt peppering his hair on the sides. He doesn't lose that jovial look.

Looking up at him, you can see your face ink-blotted in his pupils, rimmed with andesite. A blink, and he scrapes you away. He smiles first, coaxing a beam from your eyes; your cheeks clomped, stretching your smile.

"What is it?"

"Nothing." He mutters against your lips, notes of wine sprinkle in his breath. The bottle lies empty on the carpet; you naked, sweating, entangled in the sheets, your arms clasped around him so as not to let him fall off the sofa.

His hand roams all the way to your back, his fingers slide along your spine, to the curve of your pretty ass, exploring further until they anchor to the tenderness of your thigh.

"Say it. I know there's something you want to say," you nudge as your fingers weave to the ends of his hair.

"It's embarrassing." He groans. His ruddy cheeks, pink and puffy with alcohol, intensify their blush.

He drags your leg over his hips and trespasses your limits, wringing out a cute little moan from your lips.

"Say it." You clamp your walls around him, and a deep grunt erases his smirk.

"Fuck, don't do that."

"Then say it." Giggling, you do it again, and he traps his bottom lip in his teeth. His hips roll back leaving you with an empty ache, the tip teasing in your entrance, his firm grip restraining you. Your eyes plead.

"Levi!" You pout.

Levi laughs, presses a kiss on your forehead, on the tip of your nose, on your lips and thrusts hard and deep, complying to your demands. His mouth muffles your moans. Your body shudders, your breath hitches. He kisses the curve of your neck, and your nails etch half-moons in his ass. Moans, and squelching sounds of your bodies colliding. You close your eyes and give in to the pleasure and the stars that burst in your blood.

"I never thought I'd find someone who would really know me and love me anyway," he muses. His heart flutters like a thousand butterflies. "I can't imagine this world without you."
