    Summary

    Carefully, He Tian moves away from the door, closer to Guan Shan. He lifts a hand and reaches out to touch his bare back. Guan Shan freezes.
    “I thought you were abroad until September.”

    “I wanted to see you sooner,” He Tian says, voice low as his knuckles trace the bumps of Guan Shan’s spine. It’s daring - they didn’t part ways on very good terms the last time. They rarely do. The move might earn him a hook but the pull is magnetic. “Waiting six months was too long.”

    It’s always a gamble when he returns from his travels, a game of russian roulette but as long as Guan Shan agrees to play, He Tian will take the hits. He doesn’t fear the lead.

    *

    Or He Tian returns, like he does too rarely, in the beginning of May.

    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

    There's a stark contrast between living within the walls and living without them, and it takes Levi a while of living on his own without them to figure out exactly what it is that he wants out life and his new found freedom. It takes him a while to figure out that it's Erwin that he wants.
