    Summary

    Sometimes, as the winds of Narragansett Bay whip at his cold-flushed face and aching hands, Levi wonders how life has led him here. Here: atop four winding flights of stairs, seventy-three feet in the air, polishing a fifty year old light bulb several times larger than his head.

    His predecessor had complained about the loneliness while showing him around the place. Told him it makes you go mad. Levi doesn’t mind it though. In fact, he finds the isolation oddly comforting. In the middle of the ocean there are no generals or foremen screaming at him to get back to work. There are no sly insults on his stature, or reprimands regarding his attitude. Atop Whale Rock there is only steel, stone, and the occasional seabird cawing overheard.

    ---

    After being dishonorably discharged from the military, the slowly dying Levi Ackerman takes a job as a lighthouse keeper just off the coast. Content in his isolation, (aside from the occasional visit from supply-boatman, Hange) he resolves to spend the rest of his days on the sea tending to the light.

    It's only when a retired, one-armed navy man arrives to serve as a fellow keeper, that Levi has to reconsider if there's something he's been missing.

    Summary

    “He's -” He struggles for the words. “We can be shitty to each other but he's -” Good? Kind? Levi isn't sure. He is, he knows objectively, because no one would have gone to the lengths Zeke has for him, spent the money and given the time, if he was not a good man.

    “It must be hard for him”, Erwin hums, eyes on his back. “You have achieved more at twenty than he or I will in a lifetime”.

    Levi ignores the heat under his cheeks, how viscerally he feels the words in his chest. What does he have to show for it?

    “Yeah?”, Levi snorts. “Not sure about that”.

    Erwin’s smile is faint, unreadable. “False modesty doesn’t suit you”.

    Levi looks away, even as he feels his flush rise, insistent, exhales smoke toward the wet pavement. “Wasn’t modesty. You start believing compliments, you stop getting better”, he mutters.

    Erwin steps a little closer, not enough to crowd him, just enough to close the distance between them. There is sadness in his gaze now, enough to make Levi’s hackle raise, enough to make him step back slightly.

    “Who taught you that, Levi?”
