    Summary

    It’s 1918 in England and the war is over. Erwin has lost an arm; Levi has lost a little more than that. It’s been two years since they last saw each other, but Hange has a plan to get them to talk again.

    On their way to a cottage in the middle of nowhere, Erwin reminiscences of their past together. Of the days he watched Levi go from orphan thug to captain in the army. And he wonders, will he ever be able to bring back the young man he once knew?

    Or: a historical retelling of No Regrets and SNK centred on Erwin and Levi’s relationship. Except is WWI. But everyone lives. Nobody dies. Well, somebody dies, just not Levi or Erwin.

His life revolves around following orders and crushing enemies. During the rescue mission to the island of Paradis, he captures Erwin Smith, a Commander of the Scouts. This encounter sets off a chain of events that will challenge Levi's loyalties and ignite a connection that transcends their divided worlds, leading them toward a bond neither could have foreseen.

    Summary

    He probably stands all of five foot and three inches, Erwin reckons. His build fills out the bar’s uniform: the short sleeves of the branded t-shirt hug his biceps tightly, and with a smirk, Erwin notices that the man’s black jeans are cuffed at the bottom to suit his short stature. Even under the warm glow of the bar’s tacky LEDs, his skin is still noticeably pale. Erwin watches as the man leans on the bar towards one of the customers, a douchey looking guy with a peach fuzz beard, and quickly takes his order. He pulls a pint like he’s done it a million times before, and Erwin can only feel relief that Keith seems to have found someone competent for once.

    “It’s Levi, right?”

    The man looks up at him- and really, he has to look up. Erwin guesses he must be a foot taller than him, at least.

    “Yeah.”

    His voice is deeper than Erwin expected. There’s a hint of an accent there - something Northern. He wonders where Levi’s from. How old he is. He looks young - maybe a first-year who’s just moved to Manchester for uni.

    “Ah. Good to meet you. I’m Erwin.” He introduces himself.

    Summary

    A literary retelling of Levi Ackerman’s early life deep in the bowels of the Underground, and his reluctant obsession with Erwin Smith that later ensues.

    Featuring: an abundance of metaphor, chess, military language, There-Is-Only-One-Bed trope but Survey Corps-style, and two stoic men developing their own silent and disciplined language of trust.
