    Summary

    Levi hears it before he sees it. He’s leaning against a street lamp with headphones around his neck; a random song is still playing in the background but he can't make out the lyrics. The car is one of the newer brands in Paradis; he heard about it from Furlan. It's larger than the ones locals drive around here, expensive. So maybe a foreigner, he thinks. The last rays of sunset hit the dark metal, making it glow like it’s burning around the edges. A halo around the machine.

    _________ 

    Levi meets Erwin and Zeke while trying to hitchhike all the way to Trost and it changes everything.

    Summary

    A Titan, it was called, though the word zombie was whispered between technicians in quiet corners over the years. Those who witnessed the Founder’s birth would go to their graves with the image of Ymir’s small body twisting and convulsing held high in their minds. They would reminisce on the children she bore, three rosy-cheeked girls whose genes spelled out annihilation. When the bombs fell, and the ground grew cracked and blistered, they would welcome incineration with a smile, knowing the Eldians would have their revenge.

    Vengeance was pure radiation pumping through a dying girl’s veins. Vengeance was centuries of waiting, of hiding, of biding time as Ymir’s blessing spread out across her subjects. Vengeance was freedom, and freedom enclosed itself in concrete and steel.

    OR

    Levi and Erwin discover the truth behind the war that brought the undead to their doorstep.

    Summary

    The rain has stopped. A breeze ruffles Levi’s hair, dissipating the last of the steam from the tips of his ears. It carries the scent of ozone, dew-dropped grass, the mineral tang of the mud. Levi’s tongue is too big in his mouth. He watches Erwin loom over him and is suddenly seized by the sense that he is teetering over the precipice, gazing over the expanse of something indescribable, enormous, unfathomable. There is a hand lovingly placed in between his shoulder blades, and deft fingers are weaving wire through his sternum, knitting the wound shut.

    The clouds part, and sunshine unfurls from behind Erwin’s broad shoulders.

    “Fight with us, Levi.” His voice shakes with conviction. “We need you.”

    The hand at Levi’s back gives a gentle push, the wire pulls taut, and Levi soars.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    One of my favorite Eruri fics of all time

    Summary

    It held all the hallmarks of a fairytale dream, but to Qifrey, a man who had abandoned all fantasies against the cruel waves that drowned the world, it was the make of ruin.

    The Duke held his gaze in a way that made it impossible to deny the implausible: Olruggio of Ghodfrey intended for him.

    "Lord Qifrey," the Duke said, and dropped to his knee with a confidence that spoke of no doubts. "Will you permit me the honour of your hand in marriage?"

    When Qifrey receives an unexpected proposal from the most powerful stranger in the kingdom, he has no choice but to agree.

    Or: a historical AU inspired by otome isekai manhwa, featuring Qifrey as wary bride and Olruggio as cold Duke of the North.

    Summary

    Now that Sina-native Erwin has died, a stressed Commander Hange and grief-stricken Captain Levi struggle to keep ahold of the newly-popular Survey Corps among a tidal wave of citizens in full support and a sea of political enemies within the MP and Royal Palace. Armin grapples with what it means to be useful, and Eren tries to keep himself afloat of the anger that has dogged his every step since Wall Maria first fell. Mikasa doesn't want to be left behind, but is struggling to catch up.

    Meanwhile, across the ocean, a very-much-alive Erwin awakens in an unfamiliar land and must convince the Marleyan brass that he has lost his memories and is loyal to them, while also attempting to inform those on Paradis that he is alive and trying to help.
