<- Part 2 ... Part 4 ->

After you had washed the grime off your body, you went to the mess hall to grab something to eat. You got yourself a healthy-looking soup. Searching for a seat, you scanned the mess hall, everyone was happily chattering, but when they met your eyes, they either looked angry at you or avoided your gaze immediately. It made you uncomfortable. After some time, you found Isabel sitting on an abandoned bench. Tiredly you slumped yourself next to her, "I am so tired," you complained as you grabbed your wooden spoon. Isabell nodded. "Yeah, me too. I love animals but riding a horse all day is tiring." You needed to be careful not to fall into your soup. "Where are the boys?" you asked curiously. "Levi forced Furlan to take a bath because he fell into horse manure." You started to laugh, nearly spitting the sop on the table. The people next to you turned around, visibly annoyed. "Be quiet dimshits," shouted one guy. "Jeez, such a grumpy person," mumbled Isabell while you tried to suppress your laughter, albeit less successfully.

After some time of laughing and eating, the boys joined you. "Aaaannnnd do you still smell like manure?" asked Isabel teasingly. "Of course not. I am cleaner than ever," stated Furlan. The two sat down in front of you. They ate their lunch as you conversed about mundane matters. "I am so tired, guys. I am going to bed now. Have a blessed night." You stood up from the table and went to your room.

You changed into your nightgown, but before you could lay down, someone knocked on the door. With a quiet growl, you opened the door. Levi stood in front of you with a determined look. "We will search for this document tomorrow. When we are doing this mission, you will not come with us," he said directly. "Err, excuse me. I'll accompany you. I'm not going to leave you three to your own devices." You crossed your arms over your chest. "You should not accompany us. We can do this without you." "Why? I am just as capable as you and the others." Why didn't he trust you? Didn't he want to drink tea with you after this? What changed his mind? "You can't stop me. We will fulfill this mission together, just like we always did. Could you please leave now? I want to sleep." you somehow managed to drag him to the door. You opened the wooden thing and let him out. Levi scoffed. "We will talk about this tomorrow." "No, I will do this along your side, and you can't change my mind." With that, you closed the door behind Levi. Who did he think he was? With an uneasy feeling in your gut, you laid yourself down to sleep.

After breakfast, you went straight to the woods to slay some titan dummies. "We should talk about this," said Levi. "There is nothing to talk about, I don't care if you dislike my presence. I will help you guys, just like you helped me." That was all you said about it. You left him standing in the hallway.

You put on your 3d maneuver and went to Darlett. To your luck, you arrived before Levi. "Do you need help, little girl?" asked Darlett mockingly. "Nah, I am good," you answered, annoyed. With that, you activated your 3d Maneuver gear and flew through the forest. The wind blew through your hair. A Titan dummy suddenly appeared in front of you. With all your might, you sliced through its nape. Perhaps it was your rage at Levi, or perhaps it was simply your inherent strength, but you cut the nape precisely. You felt better the more dummies you sliced.

In the evening, you met up with the others to finally find the documents. Quietly you waited in front of Erwin's office. "I hope Furlan will find the documents." You whispered. "Yeah, if not, we have to find a different way." agreed Isabel. The door of the office opened again, and Furlan came out. His shoulders slumped down. "I couldn't find them." Before anyone could say something, footsteps echoed through the hallway. "Shit, let's leave."

"We won't find it, no matter how many times we look. It's probably best to assume that it isn't his room," stated Furlan. "Huh, then where could it be?" "It's important, isn't it? He could carry this with him, or he already handed the documents to someone he trusts. This Smith guy isn't dumb." You reported your assumption. "That's what I thought." Furlan smiled at you and continued to speak. "We could use the Expedition to our advantage. Outside the walls, Erwin and the others will be concentrated on the titans. We just have to wait for an opportunity." "I see. Great idea!" Isabel cheered. "You okay with that, Levi, Y/n?" "Yeah, that's a great idea." you agreed. "Sure," mumbled Levi while he looked onto the ground.

He stood in front of us, pushing away from the boxes he was leaning against. "But I'll be going alone." You rolled your eyes, this again. "What?" Isabel and Furlan exclaimed. "You three, just think up any excuse and stay behind." "Bro...Why?" "We haven't even seen a real titan yet, and it'll be our first time outside the walls. It may take all we've got. Just to get back alive. But if I'm by myself, I'll manage somehow." He was worried. That's why he didn't want that you to participate in this mission, and you thought he assumed you were too weak for this. "But..." shouted Isabel, but Furlan interrupted her. "So what your saying is that we can't handle it?" "That's right. At least that's how I feel." "How can you say that? You won't know until we've at least tried!" shouted Isabel, and the way she looked, she was going slap him soon. "What's wrong? This isn't like you." "If you won't stay behind, then we're done talking." He yelled back. "We'll wait for a different opportunity." With that, he left us alone. The air was tense. "He surely is just worried about us. I don't believe a word he is saying. We are all capable of fulfilling this mission." With that, you tried to cheer up the others, and probably yourself too. "Mhm, maybe," whispered Isabel sadly. "Dang it. Levi" yelled Furlan and ran after the raven-haired man. "Wait, Levi, Furlan," Isabel shouted.

On the rooftop of the headquarter, you finally found Levi. "Bro." "Levi." "Idiot." "Let's talk about this. I can't agree with you going alone. That's still just as dangerous for you." "You said that when we first step outside, it'll be the four of us all at once. Have you forgotten?" "And what about the tea you wanted to drink with me? If you lose your life alone out there, we can't drink one." "It's the same," Levi answered your arguments. "When you can't see the stars or the moon, the sky up here is just the same as the sky don there." After this, all of you looked up to the sky. "the color of the sky, sure. But..." "But it's different," Isabel stated. Now we all turned our heads towards her. What was she going to say? "We know that there's no ceiling! It's completely different." "That's right. The sky is endless." Furlan agreed. "It may be just as dark, but it's far different from underground." "Guys, look." You pointed at the dark blue sky. The clouds disappeared, and the bright moon shone down on you. "The moon is so bright." The three of you sat next to Levi. "Right? There is a difference, isn't there?" "Yeah, we're not underground." You looked up to the sky.

"We'll never go back down there." "He's right. The four of us always pulled through, right?" "Yeah, we won't be separated," you added optimistically. "Not even by these titans." "Let us do this together," Isabel stated. "Levi, believe in us." After Furlan's comment Levi's eyes widened. He looked back to the sky. "Alright, I'll believe in you," he said with a smirk. "Yay!" shouted Isabel. "Bro sure is a stubborn one, ain't he?" You needed to laugh, and the night couldn't be any more beautiful.

'I hope we will make it all back, and then we can celebrate the success.' You thought.

WW1 AU

Erwin wasn’t sure what time or day it was when he woke up.

Another ceiling rose above him, a different, unfamiliar one. It took him a minute to realize it wasn’t the old wooden ceiling of the barracks, nor the dim and low concrete ceiling of his prison cell. It wasn’t the muddy, decaying ceiling of the trenches either. It was nothing but the regular ceiling of a country house, tall and bright, and yet Erwin felt confined all the same.

He rolled to the edge of the bed, turned his gaze towards the window. The sky was a bloody red outside and the sun peered through the broken glass; dawn or sunset, Erwin couldn't tell. Even in plain daylight, it was all darkness around him.

The burn in his arm was a sudden reminder of it all.

Levi had left, and with him, the last bit of Erwin’s humanity.

With eyes shut, Erwin reviewed the events in his mind, his face pressed hard against the mattress now as he buried his shame into the pillow. He buried it deeper and deeper, until he could breathe no more. He lingered there for a moment embracing the dark, sinking in it mindlessly.

He could end it all, there and now.

No more pain, no more responsibilities. No more guilt.

It would be so much easier, Erwin thought, and with a desperate gasp he rose, bloodshot eyes seeking for his handgun on the nightstand. He sighed in relief to see it was still there, just at his hand-reach, staring at him, dangerously tempting; the peace he’d been seeking for just a bullet away.

Lifting himself with trouble, Erwin reached for the gun, weighed the metal in his hand to check for the ammo, and smiled ghastly as he found it was loaded.

Seemed like his father’s God was merciful after all, if he could spare him from witnessing the doom of his own people.

His hand didn’t shake when he touched the trigger, nor did it when he pressed the end of the gun to his temple; the cold steel too familiar against his feverish skin. His eyes closed softly, his mind emptied, his chest was full with one last breath, ready to let go. But as the seconds passed and his hand grew tired with every tick of his pocket watch, it became clear to him that even if he was ready to let go of life, life wasn’t ready to let go of him.

A question suddenly arose in him

What if Levi lived?

What if he managed to kill the Beast somehow?

No.

It was impossible, he decided. But then why did his fingers shake against the trigger now in hesitation?

It’ll be alright, he told himself, it’ll all be alright. You’ll see them again soon, all of them.

His fallen friends and subordinates waited for him at the memorial back in London.

Darlett, Bodt, Dr. Jaegger…

He chanted the names in his mind, as he’d done every night in his prison cell. He remembered them all. He always had.

Darius Zackly, Furlan Church…

His grip tightened around the gun.

Would a statue be raised in his likeness? Or would his name be reduced to a splatter of ink in the history books? And what troubled him the most…Would Levi be buried next to him?

He thought of the day they met at the memorial, of Levi’s haunted face as he read Furlan’s name engraved in it, of Levi’s rain-soaked hair, his fragile eyes, lost as ever. Such a heart-wrenching sight Erwin wished never to see again.

Then the question struck him again.

But… What if Levi lived?

Would he make that same face reading Erwin’s name at the memorial?

His heart shrank; his fingers trembled at the memory of his own words to him that day.

“Don’t waste your life like that, Levi. Your friends would’ve wanted you to live.”

His fingers pressed with all his strength against the trigger, but even then, the bullet refused to come out, as though some kind of invisible force repelled it. He fought it with determination, pressing and pressing until the gun slipped his hand.

Exhaustion slammed him against the floor. Dropping on his knees, he grinned and bleated like a wounded animal, releasing a loud howl as if the most primitive part of him screamed for survival in the last moment of his despair. It was the part of him that kept him moving forward.

Catching his breath, Erwin rose on his feet. The gun lay forgotten next to the shards of glass on the floor, the traces of opium still staining them. Once his mind cleared, his arm began to burn again, and the moment he turned to search for the swollen wound, he instantly knew it.

He was a dead man. He’d been so for months now, perhaps years. Looking back, he began to wonder if he’d ever lived at all.

But even then, even after everything he’d done, Levi had thought him worthy of living, had given him another chance, and he couldn’t throw it away.

“Levi…” he called his name as if summoning him, in spite of knowing he was far gone, in spite of knowing that his name may have been all that was left of him. “Levi...”

Levi. His Levi, the one who’d believed in him till the very end, the one who’d never left his side, never asked anything of him, the same one who would now be giving his last breath in the battlefield, kilometers away from him.

He pictured Levi standing alone against the Beast and his stomach turned, the world spun around him.

But when a soft tingling crawled up his arm, Erwin realized it wasn’t just the anxiety that was making him sick.

He needed medication, and he needed it now.

Beyoncé life story

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter (/biːˈjɒnseɪ/ bee-YON-say; born September 4, 1981)[4] is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer and actress. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Beyoncé performed in various singing and dancing competitions as a child. She rose to fame in the late 1990s as the lead singer of Destiny's Child, one of the best-selling girl groups of all time.

During Destiny's Child's hiatus, Beyoncé made her theatrical film debut with a role in the US box-office number-one Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002) and recorded her first solo album, Dangerously in Love (2003), which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart. It also featured the Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "Crazy in Love" and "Baby Boy". Following the disbandment of Destiny's Child in 2006, she released her second solo album, B'Day, which contained the US number-one single "Irreplaceable", as well as the UK number-one singles "Déjà Vu" and "Beautiful Liar". Beyoncé continued her acting career with starring roles in The Pink Panther (2006), Dreamgirls (2006), and Obsessed (2009). Her marriage to rapper Jay-Z and her portrayal of Etta James in Cadillac Records (2008) influenced her third album, I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008), which earned a record-setting six Grammy Awards in 2010. It spawned the UK number-one single "If I Were a Boy" and the US number-one single "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)".

After splitting from her manager and father Mathew Knowles in 2010, Beyoncé released 4 (2011), which was influenced by 1970s funk, 1980s pop, and 1990s soul. Beyoncé received widespread critical acclaim for her albums, Beyoncé (2013) and Lemonade (2016); the latter became the world's best-selling album of 2016. She became the first and only music act in Billboard 200 chart history to debut at number one with their first six solo studio albums.[5] In 2018, she released Everything Is Love, a collaborative album with her husband, Jay-Z, as the Carters.

Beyoncé is one of the word's best-selling music artists, having sold over 100 million records worldwide.[6] Her success during the 2000s was recognized with the Recording Industry Association of America's Top Certified Artist of the Decade, as well as Billboard magazine's Top Radio Songs Artist and the Top Female Artist of the Decade.[7][8] Beyoncé is the most nominated woman in the Grammy Award's history, with a total of 24 wins.[9] She is also the most awarded artist at the MTV Video Music Awards, with 24 wins, including the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.[10][11] In 2014, she became the highest-paid black musician in history and was listed among Time's 100 most influential people in the world for a second year in a row.[12] Forbes ranked her as the most powerful female in entertainment on their 2015 and 2017 lists. She occupied the sixth place for Time's Person of the Year in 2016,[13] and in 2020, was named one of the 100 women who defined the last century by the same publication.[14]

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles was born in Houston, Texas, to Celestine "Tina" Knowles (née Beyincé), a hairdresser and salon owner, and Mathew Knowles, a Xerox sales manager.[15] Beyoncé's name is a tribute to her mother's maiden name.[16] Beyoncé's younger sister Solange is also a singer and a former backup dancer for Destiny's Child. Solange and Beyoncé are the first sisters to have both had No. 1 albums.[17] Mathew is African American, and Tina is of Louisiana Creole descent (African, Native American, and French).[16][18][19] Through her mother, Beyoncé is a descendant of Acadian leader Joseph Broussard.[18] Beyoncé attended St. Mary's Montessori School in Houston, where she enrolled in dance classes. Her singing talent was discovered when dance instructor Darlette Johnson began humming a song and she finished it, able to hit the high-pitched notes.[20] Beyoncé's interest in music and performing continued after winning a school talent show at age seven, singing John Lennon's "Imagine" to beat 15/16-year-olds.[21][22] In fall of 1990, Beyoncé enrolled in Parker Elementary School, a music magnet school in Houston, where she would perform with the school's choir.[23] She also attended the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts[24] and later Alief Elsik High School.[16][25] Beyoncé was also a member of the choir at St. John's United Methodist Church as a soloist for two years.[26]

When Beyoncé was eight, she and childhood friend Kelly Rowland met LaTavia Roberson while at an audition for an all-girl entertainment group.[27] They were placed into a group called Girl's Tyme with three other girls, and rapped and danced on the talent show circuit in Houston.[28] After seeing the group, R&B producer Arne Frager brought them to his Northern California studio and placed them in Star Search, the largest talent show on national TV at the time. Girl's Tyme failed to win, and Beyoncé later said the song they performed was not good.[29][30] In 1995 Beyoncé's father resigned from his job to manage the group.[31] The move reduced Beyoncé's family's income by half, and her parents were forced to move into separated apartments.[16] Mathew cut the original line-up to four and the group continued performing as an opening act for other established R&B girl groups.[27] The girls auditioned before record labels and were finally signed to Elektra Records, moving to Atlanta Records briefly to work on their first recording, only to be cut by the company.[16] This put further strain on the family, and Beyoncé's parents separated. On October 5, 1995, Dwayne Wiggins's Grass Roots Entertainment signed the group. In 1996, the girls began recording their debut album under an agreement with Sony Music, the Knowles family reunited, and shortly after, the group got a contract with Columbia Records.

The group changed their name to Destiny's Child in 1996, based upon a passage in the Book of Isaiah.[32] In 1997, Destiny's Child released their major label debut song "Killing Time" on the soundtrack to the 1997 film, Men in Black.[30] The following year, the group released their self-titled debut album,[29] scoring their first major hit "No, No, No". The album established the group as a viable act in the music industry, with moderate sales and winning the group three Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards for Best R&B/Soul Album of the Year, Best R&B/Soul or Rap New Artist, and Best R&B/Soul Single for "No, No, No". The group released their Multi-Platinum second album The Writing's on the Wall in 1999. The record features some of the group's most widely known songs such as "Bills, Bills, Bills", the group's first number-one single, "Jumpin' Jumpin'" and "Say My Name", which became their most successful song at the time, and would remain one of their signature songs. "Say My Name" won the Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and the Best R&B Song at the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards.[27] The Writing's on the Wall sold more than eight million copies worldwide.[29] During this time, Beyoncé recorded a duet with Marc Nelson, an original member of Boyz II Men, on the song "After All Is Said and Done" for the soundtrack to the 1999 film, The Best Man.[33]

LeToya Luckett and Roberson became unhappy with Mathew's managing of the band and eventually were replaced by Farrah Franklin and Michelle Williams.[27] Beyoncé experienced depression following the split with Luckett and Roberson after being publicly blamed by the media, critics, and blogs for its cause.[34] Her long-standing boyfriend left her at this time.[35] The depression was so severe it lasted for a couple of years, during which she occasionally kept herself in her bedroom for days and refused to eat anything.[36] Beyoncé stated that she struggled to speak about her depression because Destiny's Child had just won their first Grammy Award, and she feared no one would take her seriously.[37] Beyoncé would later speak of her mother as the person who helped her fight it.[36] Franklin was then dismissed, leaving just Beyoncé, Rowland, and Williams.[38]

The remaining band members recorded "Independent Women Part I", which appeared on the soundtrack to the 2000 film Charlie's Angels. It became their best-charting single, topping the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart for eleven consecutive weeks.[27] In early 2001, while Destiny's Child was completing their third album, Beyoncé landed a major role in the MTV made-for-television film, Carmen: A Hip Hopera, starring alongside American actor Mekhi Phifer. Set in Philadelphia, the film is a modern interpretation of the 19th-century opera Carmen by French composer Georges Bizet.[39] When the third album Survivor was released in May 2001, Luckett and Roberson filed a lawsuit claiming that the songs were aimed at them.[27] The album debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 663,000 copies sold.[40] The album spawned other number-one hits, "Bootylicious" and the title track, "Survivor", the latter of which earned the group a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.[41] After releasing their holiday album 8 Days of Christmas in October 2001, the group announced a hiatus to further pursue solo careers.[27]

In July 2002, Beyoncé made her theatrical film debut, playing Foxxy Cleopatra alongside Mike Myers in the comedy film Austin Powers in Goldmember,[42] which spent its first weekend atop the US box office and grossed $73 million.[43] Beyoncé released "Work It Out" as the lead single from its soundtrack album which entered the top ten in the UK, Norway, and Belgium.[44] In 2003, Beyoncé starred opposite Cuba Gooding, Jr., in the musical comedy The Fighting Temptations as Lilly, a single mother with whom Gooding's character falls in love.[45] The film received mixed reviews from critics but grossed $30 million in the U.S.[46][47] Beyoncé released "Fighting Temptation" as the lead single from the film's soundtrack album, with Missy Elliott, MC Lyte, and Free which was also used to promote the film.[48] Another of Beyoncé's contributions to the soundtrack, "Summertime", fared better on the US charts.Beyoncé's first solo recording was a feature on Jay-Z's "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" that was released in October 2002, peaking at number four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.[51] Her first solo album Dangerously in Love was released on June 24, 2003, after Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland had released their solo efforts.[52] The album sold 317,000 copies in its first week, debuted atop the Billboard 200,[53] and has since sold 11 million copies worldwide.[54] The album's lead single, "Crazy in Love", featuring Jay-Z, became Beyoncé's first number-one single as a solo artist in the US.[55] The single "Baby Boy" also reached number one,[50] and singles, "Me, Myself and I" and "Naughty Girl", both reached the top-five.[56] The album earned Beyoncé a then record-tying five awards at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards; Best Contemporary R&B Album, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for "Dangerously in Love 2", Best R&B Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Crazy in Love", and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for "The Closer I Get to You" with Luther Vandross. During the ceremony, she performed with Prince.[57]

In November 2003, she embarked on the Dangerously in Love Tour in Europe and later toured alongside Missy Elliott and Alicia Keys for the Verizon Ladies First Tour in North America.[58] On February 1, 2004, Beyoncé performed the American national anthem at Super Bowl XXXVIII, at the Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas.[59] After the release of Dangerously in Love, Beyoncé had planned to produce a follow-up album using several of the left-over tracks. However, this was put on hold so she could concentrate on recording Destiny Fulfilled, the final studio album by Destiny's Child.[60] Released on November 15, 2004, in the US[61] and peaking at number two on the Billboard 200,[62][63] Destiny Fulfilled included the singles "Lose My Breath" and "Soldier", which reached the top five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[64] Destiny's Child embarked on a worldwide concert tour, Destiny Fulfilled... and Lovin' It sponsored by McDonald's Corporation,[65] and performed hits such as "No, No, No", "Survivor", "Say My Name", "Independent Women" and "Lose My Breath". In addition to renditions of the group's recorded material, they also performed songs from each singer's solo careers, most notably numbers from Dangerously in Love. and during the last stop of their European tour, in Barcelona on June 11, 2005, Rowland announced that Destiny's Child would disband following the North American leg of the tour.[66] The group released their first compilation album Number 1's on October 25, 2005, in the US[67] and accepted a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in March 2006.[68] The group has sold 60 million records worldwide.[69][70]

Beyoncé's second solo album B'Day was released on September 4, 2006, in the US, to coincide with her twenty-fifth birthday.[71] It sold 541,000 copies in its first week and debuted atop the Billboard 200, becoming Beyoncé's second consecutive number-one album in the United States.[72] The album's lead single "Déjà Vu", featuring Jay-Z, reached the top five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[56] The second international single "Irreplaceable" was a commercial success worldwide, reaching number one in Australia, Hungary, Ireland, New Zealand and the United States.[56][73] B'Day also produced three other singles; "Ring the Alarm",[74] "Get Me Bodied",[75] and "Green Light" (released in the United Kingdom only).[76]

At the 49th Annual Grammy Awards (2007), B'Day was nominated for five Grammy Awards, including Best Contemporary R&B Album, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for "Ring the Alarm" and Best R&B Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration"for "Déjà Vu"; the Freemasons club mix of "Déjà Vu" without the rap was put forward in the Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical category. B'Day won the award for Best Contemporary R&B Album.[77] The following year, B'Day received two nominations – for Record of the Year for "Irreplaceable" and Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals for "Beautiful Liar" (with Shakira), also receiving a nomination for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for Motion Pictures, Television or Other Visual Media for her appearance on Dreamgirls: Music from the Motion Picture (2006).[78]

Her first acting role of 2006 was in the comedy film The Pink Panther starring opposite Steve Martin,[79] grossing $158.8 million at the box office worldwide.[80] Her second film Dreamgirls, the film version of the 1981 Broadway musical[81] loosely based on The Supremes, received acclaim from critics and grossed $154 million internationally.[82][83][84] In it, she starred opposite Jennifer Hudson, Jamie Foxx, and Eddie Murphy playing a pop singer based on Diana Ross.[85] To promote the film, Beyoncé released "Listen" as the lead single from the soundtrack album.[86] In April 2007, Beyoncé embarked on The Beyoncé Experience, her first worldwide concert tour, visiting 97 venues[87] and grossed over $24 million.[note 1] Beyoncé conducted pre-concert food donation drives during six major stops in conjunction with her pastor at St. John's and America's Second Harvest. At the same time, B'Day was re-released with five additional songs, including her duet with Shakira "Beautiful Liar".

On April 4, 2008, Beyoncé married Jay-Z.[90] She publicly revealed their marriage in a video montage at the listening party for her third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce, in Manhattan's Sony Club on October 22, 2008.[91]I Am... Sasha Fierce was released on November 18, 2008, in the United States.[92] The album formally introduces Beyoncé's alter ego Sasha Fierce, conceived during the making of her 2003 single "Crazy in Love". It was met with generally mediocre reviews from critics,[93] but sold 482,000 copies in its first week, debuting atop the Billboard 200, and giving Beyoncé her third consecutive number-one album in the US.[94] The album featured the number-one song "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)"[95] and the top-five songs "If I Were a Boy" and "Halo".[56][96] Achieving the accomplishment of becoming her longest-running Hot 100 single in her career,[97] "Halo"'s success in the US helped Beyoncé attain more top-ten singles on the list than any other woman during the 2000s.[98] It also included the successful "Sweet Dreams",[99] and singles "Diva", "Ego", "Broken-Hearted Girl" and "Video Phone". The music video for "Single Ladies" has been parodied and imitated around the world, spawning the "first major dance craze" of the Internet age according to the Toronto Star.[100] The video has won several awards, including Best Video at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards,[101] the 2009 Scottish MOBO Awards,[102] and the 2009 BET Awards.[103] At the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, the video was nominated for nine awards, ultimately winning three including Video of the Year.[104] Its failure to win the Best Female Video category, which went to American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift's "You Belong with Me", led to Kanye West interrupting the ceremony and Beyoncé improvising a re-presentation of Swift's award during her own acceptance speech.[104] In March 2009, Beyoncé embarked on the I Am... World Tour, her second headlining worldwide concert tour, consisting of 108 shows, grossing $119.5 million.[105]

Beyoncé further expanded her acting career, starring as blues singer Etta James in the 2008 musical biopic Cadillac Records. Her performance in the film received praise from critics,[106] and she garnered several nominations for her portrayal of James, including a Satellite Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, and a NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress.[107][108] Beyoncé donated her entire salary from the film to Phoenix House, an organization of rehabilitation centers for heroin addicts around the country.[109] On January 20, 2009, Beyoncé performed James' "At Last" at First Couple Barack and Michelle Obama's first inaugural ball.[110] Beyoncé starred opposite Ali Larter and Idris Elba in the thriller, Obsessed. She played Sharon Charles, a mother and wife whose family is threatened by her husband's stalker. Although the film received negative reviews from critics,[111] the movie did well at the US box office, grossing $68 million—$60 million more than Cadillac Records[112]—on a budget of $20 million.[113] The fight scene finale between Sharon and the character played by Ali Larter also won the 2010 MTV Movie Award for Best Fight.[114]

At the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, Beyoncé received ten nominations, including Album of the Year for I Am... Sasha Fierce, Record of the Year for "Halo", and Song of the Year for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", among others.[115] She tied with Lauryn Hill for most Grammy nominations in a single year by a female artist.[116] Beyoncé went on to win six of those nominations, breaking a record she previously tied in 2004 for the most Grammy awards won in a single night by a female artist with six. In 2010, Beyoncé was featured on Lady Gaga's single "Telephone" and appeared in its music video.[117][118] The song topped the US Pop Songs chart, becoming the sixth number-one for both Beyoncé and Gaga, tying them with Mariah Carey for most number-ones since the Nielsen Top 40 airplay chart launched in 1992.[119] "Telephone" received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.[120]

Beyoncé announced a hiatus from her music career in January 2010, heeding her mother's advice, "to live life, to be inspired by things again".[121][122] During the break she and her father parted ways as business partners.[123][124] Beyoncé's musical break lasted nine months and saw her visit multiple European cities, the Great Wall of China, the Egyptian pyramids, Australia, English music festivals and various museums and ballet performances.

On June 26, 2011, she became the first solo female artist to headline the main Pyramid stage at the 2011 Glastonbury Festival in over twenty years.[126][127] Her fourth studio album 4 was released two days later in the US.[128] 4 sold 310,000 copies in its first week and debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart, giving Beyoncé her fourth consecutive number-one album in the US. The album was preceded by two of its singles "Run the World (Girls)" and "Best Thing I Never Had".[56][117][129] The fourth single "Love on Top" spent seven consecutive weeks at number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, while peaking at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, the highest peak from the album.[130] 4 also produced four other singles; "Party", "Countdown", "I Care" and "End of Time". "Eat, Play, Love", a cover story written by Beyoncé for Essence that detailed her 2010 career break, won her a writing award from the New York Association of Black Journalists.[131] In late 2011, she took the stage at New York's Roseland Ballroom for four nights of special performances:[132] the 4 Intimate Nights with Beyoncé concerts saw the performance of her 4 album to a standing room only.[132] On August 1, 2011, the album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), having shipped 1 million copies to retail stores.[133] By December 2015, it reached sales of 1.5 million copies in the US.[134] The album reached one billion Spotify streams on February 5, 2018, making Beyoncé the first female artist to have three of their albums surpass one billion streams on the platform.[135]

On January 7, 2012, Beyoncé gave birth to her first child, a daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.[136] Five months later, she performed for four nights at Revel Atlantic City's Ovation Hall to celebrate the resort's opening, her first performances since giving birth to Blue Ivy.[137][138]

In January 2013, Destiny's Child released Love Songs, a compilation album of the romance-themed songs from their previous albums and a newly recorded track, "Nuclear".[139] Beyoncé performed the American national anthem singing along with a pre-recorded track at President Obama's second inauguration in Washington, D.C.[140][141] The following month, Beyoncé performed at the Super Bowl XLVII halftime show, held at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.[142] The performance stands as the second most tweeted about moment in history at 268,000 tweets per minute.[143] At the 55th Annual Grammy Awards, Beyoncé won for Best Traditional R&B Performance for "Love on Top".[144] Her feature-length documentary film, Life Is But a Dream, first aired on HBO on February 16, 2013.[145] The film was co-directed by Beyoncé herself.

Beyoncé embarked on The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour on April 15 in Belgrade, Serbia; the tour included 132 dates that ran through to March 2014. It became the most successful tour of her career and one of the most successful tours of all time.[147] In May, Beyoncé's cover of Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" with André 3000 on The Great Gatsby soundtrack was released.[148] Beyoncé voiced Queen Tara in the 3D CGI animated film, Epic, released by 20th Century Fox on May 24,[149] and recorded an original song for the film, "Rise Up", co-written with Sia.[150]

On December 13, 2013, Beyoncé unexpectedly released her eponymous fifth studio album on the iTunes Store without any prior announcement or promotion. The album debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart, giving Beyoncé her fifth consecutive number-one album in the US.[151] This made her the first woman in the chart's history to have her first five studio albums debut at number one.[152] Beyoncé received critical acclaim[153] and commercial success, selling one million digital copies worldwide in six days;[154] Musically an electro-R&B album, it concerns darker themes previously unexplored in her work, such as "bulimia, postnatal depression [and] the fears and insecurities of marriage and motherhood".[155] The single "Drunk in Love", featuring Jay-Z, peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[156]

In April 2014, after much speculation,[157] Beyoncé and Jay-Z officially announced their On the Run Tour. It served as the couple's first co-headlining stadium tour together.[158] On August 24, 2014, she received the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards. Beyoncé also won home three competitive awards: Best Video with a Social Message and Best Cinematography for "Pretty Hurts", as well as best collaboration for "Drunk in Love".[159] In November, Forbes reported that Beyoncé was the top-earning woman in music for the second year in a row—earning $115 million in the year, more than double her earnings in 2013.[160] Beyoncé was reissued with new material in three forms: as an extended play, a box set, as well as a full platinum edition. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), in the last 19 days of 2013, the album sold 2.3 million units worldwide, becoming the tenth best-selling album of 2013.[161] The album also went on to become the twentieth best-selling album of 2014.[162] As of November 2014, Beyoncé has sold over 5 million copies worldwide and has generated over 1 billion streams, as of March 2015.[163]

At the 57th Annual Grammy Awards in February 2015, Beyoncé was nominated for six awards, ultimately winning three: Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song for "Drunk in Love", and Best Surround Sound Album for Beyoncé.[9][164] She was nominated for Album of the Year, but the award went to Beck for his album Morning Phase.

On February 6, 2016, Beyoncé released "Formation" and its accompanying music video exclusively on the music streaming platform Tidal; the song was made available to download for free.[166] She performed "Formation" live for the first time during the NFL Super Bowl 50 halftime show. The appearance was considered controversial as it appeared to reference the 50th anniversary of the Black Panther Party and the NFL forbids political statements in its performances.[167][168][169] Immediately following the performance, Beyoncé announced The Formation World Tour, which highlighted stops in both North America, and Europe.[170][171] It ended on October 7, with Beyoncé bringing out her husband Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, and Serena Williams for the last show.[172] The tour went on to win Tour of the Year at the 44th American Music Awards.[173]

On April 16, 2016, Beyoncé released a teaser clip for a project called Lemonade. It turned out to be a one-hour film which aired on HBO exactly a week later; a corresponding album with the same title was released on the same day exclusively on Tidal.[174] Lemonade debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, making Beyoncé the first act in Billboard history to have their first six studio albums debut atop the chart; she broke a record previously tied with DMX in 2013.[175] With all 12 tracks of Lemonade debuting on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, Beyoncé also became the first female act to chart 12 or more songs at the same time.[176] Additionally, Lemonade was streamed 115 million times through Tidal, setting a record for the most-streamed album in a single week by a female artist in history.[177] It was 2016's third highest-selling album in the US with 1.554 million copies sold in that time period within the country[178] as well as the best-selling album worldwide with global sales of 2.5 million throughout the year.[179] In June 2019, Lemonade was certified 3× Platinum, having sold up to 3 million album-equivalent units in the United States alone.

Lemonade became her most critically acclaimed work to date, receiving universal acclaim according to Metacritic, a website collecting reviews from professional music critics.[181] Several music publications included the album among the best of 2016, including Rolling Stone, which listed Lemonade at number one.[182] The album's visuals were nominated in 11 categories at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, the most ever received by Beyoncé in a single year, and went on to win 8 awards, including Video of the Year for "Formation".[183][184] The eight wins made Beyoncé the most awarded artist in the history of the VMAs (24), surpassing Madonna (20).[185] Beyoncé occupied the sixth place for Time magazine's 2016 Person of the Year.[186]

In January 2017, it was announced that Beyoncé would headline the Coachella Music and Arts Festival. This would make Beyoncé only the second female headliner of the festival since it was founded in 1999.[187] It was later announced on February 23, 2017 that Beyoncé would no longer be able to perform at the festival due to doctor's concerns regarding her pregnancy. The festival owners announced that she will instead headline the 2018 festival.[188] Upon the announcement of Beyoncé's departure from the festival lineup, ticket prices dropped by 12%.[189]

At the 59th Grammy Awards in February 2017, Lemonade led the nominations with nine, including Album, Record, and Song of the Year for Lemonade and "Formation" respectively.[190] and ultimately won two, Best Urban Contemporary Album for Lemonade and Best Music Video for "Formation".[191] Adele, upon winning her Grammy for Album of the Year, stated Lemonade was monumental and more deserving.[192]

On June 13, 2017, Beyoncé gave birth to twins Rumi and Sir Carter at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California.[193] In September 2017, Beyoncé collaborated with J Balvin and Willy William, to release a remix of the song "Mi Gente". Beyoncé donated all proceeds from the song to hurricane charities for those affected by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma in Texas, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and other Caribbean Islands.[194]

On November 10, Eminem released "Walk on Water" featuring Beyoncé as the lead single from his album Revival. On November 30, Ed Sheeran announced that Beyoncé would feature on the remix to his song "Perfect".[195] "Perfect Duet" was released on December 1, 2017. The song reached number-one in the United States, becoming Beyoncé's sixth song of her solo career to do so.[196]

2018–present: Everything Is Love and The Lion King On January 4, 2018, the music video of Beyoncé and Jay-Z's 4:44 collaboration, "Family Feud" was released.[197] It was directed by Ava DuVernay.

The couple announced the joint tour officially as On the Run II Tour on March 12[200] and simultaneously released a trailer for the tour on YouTube.[201] On March 20, 2018, the couple traveled to Jamaica to film a music video directed by Melina Matsoukas.[202]

On April 14, 2018, Beyoncé played the first of two weekends as the headlining act of the Coachella Music Festival. Her performance of April 14, attended by 125,000 festival-goers, was immediately praised, with multiple media outlets describing it as historic. The performance became the most-tweeted about performance of weekend one, as well as the most-watched live Coachella performance and the most-watched live performance on YouTube of all time. The show paid tribute to black culture, specifically historically black colleges and universities and featured a live band with over 100 dancers. Destiny's Child also reunited during the show.

On June 6, 2018, Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z kicked-off the On the Run II Tour in Cardiff, United Kingdom. Ten days later, at their final London performance, the pair unveiled Everything Is Love, their joint studio album, credited under the name The Carters, and initially available exclusively on Tidal. The pair also released the video for the album's lead single, "Apeshit", on Beyoncé's official YouTube channel.[205][206] Everything Is Love received generally positive reviews,[207] and debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, with 123,000 album-equivalent units, of which 70,000 were pure album sales.[208]

On December 2, 2018, Beyoncé alongside Jay-Z headlined the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 which was held at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa.[209] Their 2-hour performance had concepts similar to the On the Run II Tour and Beyoncé was praised for her outfits, which paid tribute to Africa's diversity.[210]

On April 17, 2019, Beyoncé alongside media-service provider Netflix, premiered the 137-minute documentary and concert film Homecoming, mainly regarding Beyoncé's historic 2018 Coachella performances.[211][212] The film was accompanied by the live album Homecoming: The Live Album.[213] It was later reported that Beyoncé and Netflix had signed a $60 million deal to produce three different projects, one of which is Homecoming.[214] Homecoming received six nominations at the 71st Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards.[215]

Beyoncé starred in the voice over role of Nala in the remake The Lion King, which was released on July 19, 2019.[216] In March 2017, director Jon Favreau stated that Beyoncé was his top choice for the role, and that the studio and himself would be willing to do whatever it took to accommodate her busy schedule.[217] On November 1, 2017, her role was confirmed in an official announcement.[218][219] Beyoncé is featured on the film's soundtrack, released on July 11, 2019, with a remake of the song "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" alongside Donald Glover, Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen, which was originally composed by Elton John.[220] Additionally, an original song from the film by Beyoncé, "Spirit", was released as the lead single from both the soundtrack and The Lion King: The Gift – an album released alongside the film, produced and curated by Beyoncé.[221][222] Beyoncé called The Lion King: The Gift a "sonic cinema." She also stated that the album is influenced by everything from R&B, pop, hip hop and Afro Beat.[221] The songs were additionally produced by African producers, which Beyoncé said was because "authenticity and heart were important to [her]," since the film is set in Africa.[221]

During an interview for the Wall Street Journal, Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles, revealed that the singer had borrowed some of her art pieces for a new project already in development.[223]

400 Years of Love | Part 1

This is the story of Scarlett & David.

1705

Months spent among the vampires of Var Dohr, among their friends. Amelia knew that Viktor was suspicious, that he was sending Semira with her army. She looked into the crib where her son slept along side Marcus’ daughter. They all knew what they had to do, what they had to protect. Amelia quietly pressed a kiss to David’s forehead before she turned to her friends… her family.

“I wished it didn’t have to be this way.” Marcus stated as they made their way out of the small nursery. “But its the only way to protect him, Amelia.”

“Viktor would kill him if he knew,” Amelia’s voice betrayed what they all knew. “Scarlett will be safe…. But David… If he were to grow up and marry her…”

“It is a secret we must all keep.” Thomas embraced Amelia, knowing that this was hard on all of them. “For the sake of our children… And our covens.”

“She will be here soon enough.” Helka said looking to the three of them. “We must do this now if we are to protect them.”

Helka quietly handed Amelia a small blade, five small vials in her hand. One by one the two of filled them. The last to be filled was a ring with her crest on it, a drop of her blood for her son that would never know of her as his mother. To think that she had fought against Marcus for so many centuries, yet he was willing to forgive that to protect the legacy their children would carry on.

Amelia went back to the nursery, cradling David one last time in her arms before Thomas took him and left. She followed his actions, leaving and making her way back to the eastern coven…. back to a life where she was to pretend as if she had no son, no lover… No one.

1710

Scarlett’s curls bounced as she ran along the halls of the Eastern compound, her parents and she visiting due to a council meeting that required all the elders presence. She was enjoying discovering the secret passages that Amelia had littered through it. Her emerald eyes danced when she happened upon a young boy like herself. She was carrying a bouquet of wild flowers her father had given her and quietly plucked one from it. She held it out to him, smiling happily.

“Hi! My name is Scarlett,” she introduced herself. “What is yours? And why are you sitting here all alone?”

David looked up at the girl, brown eyes watching her movements as she held a wild flower out to him.

“My name is David….. And my father is busy with the council….” He said quiet pathetically for a five year old who didn’t truly know the cruelty of the world.

“Well, would you like to play with me?” She asked, smile still fully in place as she waited for David’s answer. “It will be more fun than just sitting here.”

“I am not supposed to…” David started when the doors to the council room burst open. Scarlett turned to see her father and mother coming from the room.

“Mama! Papa!” She cried, running down the stairs to her parents. David watched with a bit of resentment in his eyes, even at five years old he knew resentment for those who had both of their parents.

Marcus wrapped her up in his arms, holding her to him. “My dear one, what do you seem so excited for?”

“I think I made a new friend…. But he will not play with me.” She said looking over at David, green eyes seeming to bore holes into his soul.

“Thomas,” Helka called looking to the elder vampire. “Tell me that David does not have to wait there all day while we continue this meetings…. It is not fair to him.”

“I did not know the two of you had brought Scarlett along with you.” Thomas admitted, smiling a little at the bright eyed blonde’s enthusiasm. “David, come here!”

David did as his father asked, walking over to where he stood with one of the grand elders. He hadn’t realized that Scarlett was Marcus’ daughter.

“Yes, father?” He asked looking up at Thomas.

“Why no go with Scarlett?” He suggested as Marcus put her back on her feet. “But behave.”

“Yes, sir,” David answered before Scarlett took his hand and started dragging him away from the grownups. her mouth was going a million miles and hour.

The two were found later in the evening in the library, quietly sleeping in one of the bay windows together. Amelia was with them, her eyes betraying her hidden pain for a moment.

“It is just like when they were born..” She whispered, thankful that the rest of the coven was already asleep and the four were the only ones there. “I… I should go.”

Amelia turned away, quickly excusing herself and heading to her chambers. Thomas stood watching her until Helka touched his arm, snapping him back to their sleeping children. He went over to collect David, only to see that the two had interlaced their hands together in their sleep.

“Marcus, I think I might need your help with these two.” Thomas whispered with a smile. Marcus made his way over, smiling when he saw their clasped hands.

“It is as if they remember when they were born,” he commented as he gently pulled their hands apart, hoping not to wake them as he did. Marcus held Scarlett against his shoulder as Helka helped fix her arms around his neck. She did the same for Thomas with David before the three set out with the two children.

“Feel free to drop David off with us in the morning, Thomas. Helka is sitting out of the council meeting tomorrow.” Marcus said as they stopped at Thomas’ rooms.

“I do not believe they will need me tomorrow. So I can look after the two of them…. Give them time to get to know one another.” Helka explained as Scarlett twitched in her sleep against Marcus’ shoulder. “I expect to see you both in the morning.”

“Of course, Helka.” Thomas answered. He knew better than to argue with her. Along side his love and mother to his son, Helka was one of the few he actually feared.

The next morning, Thomas arrived in enough time to drop David off. He had been quite excited despite his hesitance the day before to go with Scarlett. He’d asked almost repeatedly of when he would get to see her again, and when Thomas had told him he would be spending the whole day with her again, David had practically jumped with excitement. It was so amazing how one day with Scarlett had changed his son’s demeanor from seemingly always depressed to the happiest child in the world. Mostly Thomas as just glad that the two got along considering the only other time they’d seen one another had been just after David’s birth, and of course they neither one remembered that.

But as he watched David practically run to Scarlett that morning, he was more than grateful that perhaps his son had been blessed with finding his soulmate very early in life. He just hoped that it would eventually be safe enough for them to marry… If there was a way to keep Viktor from finding out who David’s mother was.
