Summary
It roils in his chest: desperate, aching, empty. It sears his throat, stings his eyes. He’s dizzy with it, how it hurts, how he needs it. It burns like a wound, sweet like the summer breeze, and Levi relishes, lets it swell, lets it overtake him.

Owner of Ackerman’s Tea & Tackle shop in Cooper Landing, Alaska, he has everything that he and his mother had always dreamed for him, and he shares it with his two best friends in the idyllic expanse of the Kenai Peninsula.

Summary
“Why do you want to pay so badly, huh? What was so important to you that you came back?”
Erwin decides to take a risk; he’s fairly certain that they’re not talking about fuel pumps anymore.
“You…You remembered my name.”
The clerk leans a little closer, eyes dark.
“You gave me your name,” he says, and his voice slithers into Erwin’s bloodstream like a drug. “Did you think I would be so callous as to neglect it?”

Summary
“I disagree. You can’t find yourself if you’re looking for it in other people. Self search journeys are all sought in solitary by generations of philosophers.” Erwin says, not caring for the menu.
“I said to know what you are, not who you are. Do I look like someone who gives a fuck about philosophy!” Levi says, rolling his eyes. “Simply put, you can’t smell your own shit if you sit on it too long.”He checks the time and decides skipping lunch is not the worst outcome of this meeting.
“Charming.” Erwin says, shaking his head in amusement.
“Look, blondie,” Levi gets a card from his wallet and places it on the table. “This is my number, I’ll save you the trouble of sharing a meal with me, but when you finally understand what I meant, give me a call.”

You Were Mine But For A Moment by FanaticeIllabantur

Summary
Grief is like the ocean; it washes over you in a wave, often one you can see coming, and it swallows you, dragging you into the depths so you forget which way the surface lies. It leaves you choking, gagging, desperate for air, and if you relent, you sink deeper, surrounded by blue.
Levi has seen grief before. He knows that ocean, has swum in it, sunk in it, drowned in it more times than he will ever want to count. And he sees another wave rising, ready to crash over him as the ocean swells at his feet. He is a boat at the mercy of all that blue, and she has never shown him mercy before.

Summary
It had to be done, he’d assured himself, over and over. He had to protect Erwin at any cost, even if that meant from Erwin himself. Even if it meant Levi would never see him again — as long as he was alive, it didn’t matter.
Levi breaks Erwin’s leg at the last minute to keep him from riding to Shiganshina.

Summary
When Erwin Smith dies, it’s in the most ridiculous way ever. He slips and falls in the shower, and that’s how Death, cloaked in grey and wielding a scythe, finds him: naked and destined for eternal damnation in Hell. It’s certainly not the greatest demonic origin story ever, but it’s the one Erwin is stuck with.
Or
In which Erwin Smith is bound for hell, but he just can’t seem to get a certain Grim Reaper out of mind.

Summary
The construction site extended for a whole block from the subway station to Survey Corps headquarters, as it grew day by day, the noise and disruption increased, and Levi’s irritation with it. The only bright spot on his clouded horizon was the foreman of the site. Tall, built and athletic, the man had the kind of broad shoulders and muscular arms that made Levi weak. Dressed in tight shirt and wide tobizubon pants, he was the embodiment of every sordid fantasy that Levi had ever allowed himself to indulge in.
Levi takes a shine to the foreman of the construction site next door to his office.

Summary
---
Were you in a deep sleep? Do you think you are still dreaming?
---Levi can feel when his heart stops beating, when there's more of his blood on the ground around him than there is pumping through his veins. He knew he'd rush headlong into death after Erwin, but he hopes his sacrifice bought those damn brats enough time to end it. Finally.
There is a moment where he must be dead; a contented, restful moment, before he is gasping into life again, hands twisting against a wound that is no longer there.

Summary
Navy SEAL Erwin Smith meets a pilot at a formal dinner, the first he speaks with in a while that isn't direly interested in his military life, but instead in who he truly is. They both struggle to bring about the honest person beneath the military exterior, and when the chances come, they're not sure if they have the bravery to take it.
Yeah I wrote this before, only around three chapters, but I was having publishing difficulties and decided to start anew in order to bring a better reading chance for readers, and to really test myself compared to the other stories I have written in the past. Hopefully this can be enjoyed. Think of it as a far better revision.

Summary
Breathing slowly and deep, he looked outside the window and gazed at the bright disk of the full moon hanging high in the sky. It was quite a big moon and its light was strong, silvery and cold, and it met the warm one of the lamp in the middle of the room, as if in a battle for supremacy over darkness. It wasn't very late. He had still most of the night.
Erwin’s last evening.

Bookmarker's Notes
Wow. This fic is indulgent and absurd, delighting the girl who watched “A Cinderella Story” too many times. It’s also sad and heartbreaking. Two characters pulled together, only to be ripped apart by circumstance and responsibility, by their own imposed limitations.
