    Summary

    “You really won’t talk, will you?” 

    “I…I said…everything…already…you just won’t…hear me…” 

    The man knelt down, becoming level with Jean, and he gently grasped his chin. Jean’s partially closed eyes met his when he lifted it. “I think you should really put some thought into it,” he suggested in a slow, imploring tone. “And have a different answer when I come back for you.”

    -

    Jean and Armin are captured by a Marleyan squadron under suspicion of Restorationist activity. They each endure a different form of torture and are changed forever by this short, traumatic event. It forces their friendship to evolve, their behavior to incite concern from their team, and for them to realize that if they're going to come away from this shared experience, they'll need to do so together.

    Jearmin fans: you barely even need to squint for this to be pre-slash. I love intimate friendships and that's how I've written this.

    Summary

    “I don’t want to do this,” Floch continued, “and if you are my comrade, I will not. But I would eviscerate an enemy in order to keep my people safe and if you do not recognize the threats you and the others are enacting upon us by the actions you’ve taken, if you don’t cooperate with me, if you refuse and keep this information that I am demanding to yourself…you will mark yourself as an enemy to our nation and I will treat you as such, do you understand me?”

    -

    An alternate scene where the confrontations of the restaurant never happened. Hange is nowhere to be found, and Floch, hellbent on seeing his and Eren's plans through, is determined to find out where Zeke is being kept.

    Written to be gen, but could be pre-slash for any friendship pairing tagged: I've written this story to have intimate/heavy friendship dynamics. Incredible Floch fanart by Nene posted in the second chapter.

    Summary

    “What happened, Bant? I got the call…”

    And hadn’t that been terrifying, his comm blaring in the dead of night with a message from Mace karking Windu himself that there was an emergency, Obi-Wan was in the Healer’s ward, and they needed him on Coruscant as fast as hyperspace allowed.

    Padmé urged him into a ship as soon as he told her through panicked, hitched breathing. The message rang in his ears the whole flight to Coruscant. Skywalker, but Force, he’d only seen Windu look shaken once before, and it was not an event Anakin liked to remember, You must know there is a chance he won’t make it.
    --
    In the post-war era of galactic peace, some are struggling to cope more than others. In which Obi-Wan gets sent to live with the Skywalkers for Council-mandated therapy, and Anakin is somehow the stable one for once.

    Summary

    It was another lonely night, but devastatingly quiet. Mikasa’s fingers clawed into her own arms as she walked down the hall, hating herself for how much she wanted the sound of the Rumbling back because at least then, she knew where the titans were.

    Now, she didn’t.

    They were somewhere else. Moving along. Marching off to maim and massacre. It was quiet out there – so quiet.

    She wanted to be beside Jean again, feel him there, and it made her feel weak and stupid and lost, and Mikasa hated feeling weak and stupid and lost, but sitting on his bed last night, and feeling her dear friend be so near, not even an inch from her own skin, had been more relieving than she could have hoped.

    -

    Instead of spending one night in Shiganshina alone, such that canon suggests, both the Rumbling and Armin and Connie's journey take multiple days, leaving Jean and Mikasa without anyone except each other. This extended time leaves room for many things to grow, including unexplored feelings, implications for their country, and the volatile suspicion from dangerous Yeagerists who threaten both of their safety.
