Beautiful Lie - [Levi x Reader] - Short
He is Humanity's Greatest Soldier.
You were a cadet fresh from the training grounds.
Without heed to rank or status, death loomed like a shadow
over the two of you.
But still, you followed him,
placed your life on a wire for him,
and loved him with all your heart, all the while knowing...
...that he would not love you back.
For to love another means to risk an agony too great
for even the strongest of soldiers to bear.
And yet...
...as the blood seeped from your veins,
pooling into the earth...
...as the world grew colder and darker...
...as the warmth of life began to leave your body...

Communication Barrier - ANGST!Bertholdt x Reader
For after all what is man in nature? A nothing in relation to infinity, all in relation to nothing, a central point between nothing and all and infinitely far from understanding either... He is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness out of which he was drawn and the infinite in which he is engulfed.
― Blaise Pascal, French philosopher, "Pascal's Wager"
Author's Notes:
[HEAVY manga spoiler warning, violence]
An angst fic written (or spoken, should I say?) from the viewpoint of Bertholdt Fubar, and how his world is turned upside down when the Reader comes into his life. Deals with alienation, dehumanization, self-identity,

'The Visitor' - [Jean x Mermaid!Reader, Modern AU]
---'The Visitor': Jean x Mermaid!Reader---
Author's notes: Modernish AU in which Jean is an ordinary teen, Reader is a mermaid, and Trost is a seaside town. Fluff and hilarity ensues. Probably just a one-shot. Warnings for cussing. Written from Jean's point of view.
Hope you enjoy!

I've lived here for as long as I can remember. That being said, I've also hated this place for that same length of time. If you could point out to me the most interesting place on the map, I guarantee you that Trost would be on the opposite side of the globe.
