    Summary

    Sometimes, as the winds of Narragansett Bay whip at his cold-flushed face and aching hands, Levi wonders how life has led him here. Here: atop four winding flights of stairs, seventy-three feet in the air, polishing a fifty year old light bulb several times larger than his head.

    His predecessor had complained about the loneliness while showing him around the place. Told him it makes you go mad. Levi doesn’t mind it though. In fact, he finds the isolation oddly comforting. In the middle of the ocean there are no generals or foremen screaming at him to get back to work. There are no sly insults on his stature, or reprimands regarding his attitude. Atop Whale Rock there is only steel, stone, and the occasional seabird cawing overheard.

    ---

    After being dishonorably discharged from the military, the slowly dying Levi Ackerman takes a job as a lighthouse keeper just off the coast. Content in his isolation, (aside from the occasional visit from supply-boatman, Hange) he resolves to spend the rest of his days on the sea tending to the light.

    It's only when a retired, one-armed navy man arrives to serve as a fellow keeper, that Levi has to reconsider if there's something he's been missing.

    Summary

    Detective Erwin Smith makes one profoundly irresponsible decision involving bourbon and a stranger with what he suspects is a fake name.

    Levi Ackerman kills people for a living and absolutely does not need a homicide detective complicating his next assignment.

    Unfortunately for Erwin, Levi keeps happening.

    And unfortunately for Levi, Erwin keeps happening.

    Summary

    For a sweet, precious moment Levi considers throwing it all away – killing them both and running, anywhere, nowhere.

    Maybe he’d be killed soon after by the Titans, maybe he’d live long enough for starvation to take him down. But he wouldn’t have to keep going. It’d be easier that way – no Titans, no trainings, no Erwin, no grief after his friends – he’d join them quickly, probably. They’d find each other again and he wouldn’t have to fight any longer.

    But there’s Erwin, looking at him with both madness and passion he’s never seen before. He offers his goal for Levi to borrow - a goal bigger than just leaving the Underground, bigger even than the world beyond the Walls he’s only just discovered. There’s humanity and future. There’s hope and dreams. There’s a brave, new world hidden somewhere in this wide land.

    Erwin’s bright and powerful like the sun, and some of his light illuminates Levi too, hot, almost scorching.

    But Levi is what people always told him he is - a rat, a thug, a son of a whore. Something made in darkness, poisonous and deadly. He’s cold and unforgiving. He doesn’t have any light inside - he feels hollow and dark.

    Is he even allowed to dream about being something more?

    Summary

    Centuries of blood and ash, yet it was the sight of a mortal man, a ghost cloaked in flesh and bone, that nearly stilled his undying heart.

    Summary

    “They say,” Levi begins, undoing the bowtie at Erwin’s neck, “that you’re ruthless.”

    He begins undoing the buttons on Erwin’s shirt. “That you’ve dedicated your heart to the cause.”

    He places a hand on his bare chest, and Erwin shudders. “And you’ll do anything to see it through.”

    “Dedicated my heart, huh?” Erwin smiles at that. “Do you believe them?”

    Levi hums. “I think you’re used to getting what you want.”

    “And what about you?” Erwin asks. “What is it that you want?”
