Summary
The Alliance attempts to bring together the remaining Marleyan survivors and Paradisian political exiles from the Yeagerist purges by arranging a marriage between the last Paradis Royal and the Marleyan War Chief. Everything goes wrong.
There are no happy endings because nothing ends.
This story is canon up to the Rumbling, but the Alliance stops the Rumbling differently: Armin gets Reiner to ingest Eren's spinal fluid, Eren breaks free of Ymir(Níðhöggr)'s control with Reiner and crystallizes to stop Mikasa from killing him to fulfill Ymir's snuff fantasy. He remains near death in paths, working to change the Titan Curse.
I wrote this to take the sting out of the ending, not replace it, and give Eren and Reiner's character arcs conclusions that make sense to me. These two men were responsible for tremendous suffering and death, I wanted to see them contend with that, do penance and atone by building something from it like actual men. Not end with 'ha ha, they're pathetic' perv jokes thus trivializing both the characters and the harm they've done.
As always, YMMV.
Warning: There's a lot of mythological shenanigans in the last few chapters. Some people may find this off-putting.
