What's a delta au btw? I've been scrolling through tvdint fics and i see it pop up sometimes

The Delta AU is one of the many semi-canon AU's for the series! (Semi-canon in the sense that tvdint's mangaka Bonnoki was the one who came up with it, rather than just some fans) It's one of the most popular AU's and one of the most developed ones, aside from Uso

Basically, the gist of it is that every character (with a couple of exceptions) is shifted one role to the left, IE:

The vampires are all Vampire Control Division

The Vampire Control Division are all vampire hunters

The vampire hunters are all vampires

Draluc is the captain of the VCD and is a dhampir in this AU. He has a wicked good ability to sense vampires, except using his ability gives him terrible migraines. He and the rest of the VCD are investigating a sudden invasion of superior vampires (Ronaldo and the rest of the former hunter characters) in Shin Yoko, and Draluc is eventually tasked with monitoring Ronaldo. He's very overworked and very tired, but is still his usual hedonistic self (and still has John).

Ronaldo is a vampire who is stupidly powerful, and it seems as though absolutely nothing can kill him: not garlic, not crosses, not silver, not sunlight. He is actively looking for a way to die, so that he can resurrect himself and become more "vampire-like" like his brother. He seems a lot more enthusiastic and puppy dog-like in this AU, so far not showing any sort of violent tendencies towards Draluc and actually seems to kind of respect him to an extent

And it basically plays out as a "what if Ronaldo was the one who barged into Draluc's quiet lil life and mooched off him instead?" theoretical. Fanon likes to depict this AU as kind of like a silly slice-of-life office AU, in a sense, but in general a lot of people view Delta as a slightly-to-greatly darker/more serious storyline than the canon tvdint, given Ronaldo's obsession with wanting to die and Draluc's mortality as a dhampir, among other aspects.

There are two 4 page comics about Delta in the official kyuushi fanbooks as well as a handful of little lore droplings from Bonnoki on his twitter and in a couple of his radios on youtube.

A compilation of most of the information about Delta can be found here!

I heart doujin 27

Hey gang, unusual one to start with today!  Little Sugar’s Garden which is a collection of stories by Hitomi, Ereki, Jitterbug and Ichiwiro (in that order) https://myreadingmanga.info/h-eichi-hitomi-little-sugars-garden-shingeki-no-kyojin-dj-eng/

So this is a collection of 4 stories about kidwin and kidvi, this one is sfw but does have some kissing (fairly innocent if you ask me) and one of them features people with cat ears.  Very sweet to see them so young and innocent, and esp with the new art featuring kidvi in kidwin’s class I wonder if we’ll get more interpretations like this!  I’ve certainly got a fic in mind...

also here is part 2 (same cover) by Umiko, Sumi, and Ariko https://myreadingmanga.info/h-eichi-hitomi-little-sugars-garden-2-shingeki-no-kyojin-dj-enges/

Then lovely Sable is back!!  Cruel White by Sable https://myreadingmanga.info/sable-cruel-white-attack-on-titan-dj-engesp/

and the back cover since I like it better when Erwin is there XD

I’ve seen some images from this one presented separately before on tumblr, the art is amazing so it’s no surprise.  This is about Erwin learning about Levi’s really awful childhood and trying to make the world a little brighter and more beautiful for them.  Sable is a master at keeping everything in character while staying simultaneously lovely and sweet, plus her art is phenomenal.  She has a fantastic understanding of their personalities, and I don’t think there’s a single Sable doujin I take issue with.  Check it out!
