Summary
“Eren, shut up already. He’s not your enemy.”
Fast as anything, Eren deflates. He closes his eyes and it’s like all of the tension has been sucked out of the room, like Armin got his hearing back without ever realizing it’s been gone. He can suddenly hear the distant beeping and dripping in the clinic again.
“It’s easy to forget, you know. That not everyone is.”
“I will never be your enemy,” Armin says, quiet, as he finishes patching Eren up. “Not ever. Not even if everyone else is.”

Summary
When Jean Kirstein gets shipped to a small town in the Pacific Northwest, he's resolved to keep on the straight and narrow and avoid getting involved in any trouble, danger, or difficult situations whatsoever. None whatsoever...
So of course, all it takes is a few friendly faces, a few not-so-friendly faces, and a missing seal pelt to blow that plan completely out of the water...
Basically, "what if Twilight but with Selkies instead of Vampires?"

Summary
Fate...
Whether it's an endless series of failures, sorrows and flashes of pain, or, on the contrary, easy victories, achieving goals without defeats, with a minimal price for happiness... People say: "so this is fate."
Someone with proud joy, drawing all the best from the gushing spring of life, and someone with melancholy humility, looking at the distant blue sky from the deepest hole. There have always been and will be those who stand at different ends of the "lucky-unlucky", and those - somewhere in the middle, closer to one or the other mark, and yet...It's just unfair...
No, not even that...
It's cruel.

Summary
Sometimes, when looking out the window of the “Wings of Freedom” during a hyperspace jump, Armin saw his own life. Sometimes, when instead of admiring the blurry ghost of stars and the speed that cleverly deceives the light, more pessimistic and dispassionate associations come to mind.
An indistinct scribble, a weak-willed flow…
Not that it happened too often, but not rarely either. These thoughts just were. Because it was true.
His life was a damn endless flow. He never had the strength to fight, and so he gave in. Became just a passenger on board, obediently floating wherever it too would float. Figuratively and literally.
Not that he cared…---
