A postwar!Levi story

Chapter 13 - Now available on AO3!

Your time at Pulsella Refugee Camp begins.

Levi…

It seems that time and distance haven’t quelled the feelings you’d slowly developed for him over the past year. Memories of him have been etched deeply in your mind: the way he delicately pours water in a tea kettle, how his furrowed brow relaxes when he rides Demon. You’ll never forget how he held your hand and kissed you on New Year’s Eve. (Or had you kissed him?) His lips were so soft, save for the scar that cut across them. If only the moment had lasted just a little longer, if you’d just leaned in a little more, maybe—

No. Enough.

Levi had made it clear that was all a mistake. As far as he’s concerned, the two of you are friends. Nothing more.

But as you fall onto your bed in exhaustion after another long day, you feel the knife he gave you in your pocket. You take it out and run your hands over the smooth, wooden handle, flicking the blade open and then snapping it closed.

Just come back safe… he’d said.

Does he think of you as you think of him?

No, you doubt he does.

This really is the most incredible list of Levi fics. Time to add to my ever growing list of to-read!

Hello!! I hope you are having a wonderful day/night! I was just wondering if you have any good Levi fanfic recommendations? Preferably x reader and canon-compliant? Ik this is so random lol I just feel like you would have good recommendations!! And in general even if they aren’t x reader or canon-compliant. Your writing is so good and I just know you would have good taste🥰

Hi, of course, happy to share recs :D Excuse the length of this, but I somehow ended up giving you my 5+ years worth of i-am-once-again-hopelessly-addicted-to-Levi AO3 bookmarks, heh. I tried to categorize them best I can.

I sent you a whale before thinking it was a shark whoops 😭

🦈/📚 plsss 🫶

LMAO you’re all good bestie, I didn’t even notice!

🦈 Which character is the toughest to write?

Honestly right now, it’s Tengen 😭 mostly because his speech patterns are similar to Sanemi’s, so I have to remember to really take care to separate the two — how Sanemi reacts to certain scenarios is not the same to how Tengen reacts, so I have to check myself pretty frequently 😂

📚 is there a fanfic author or fanfic you recommend?

Answered here! But I’ll go ahead and plug the following:

@amywritesthings (both silver underground and press four for more options alsnsksndnkwk) @sixpennydame (North Star and dark side of the moon) @littlerequiem (we all bleed red) @vampyrsm (cor anum and I don’t even like Sukuna the Kakuna like That) @forest-hashira (noble blood my beloved) @theoxenfree (their original works are just INCREDIBLE) and so many more!!

Ask me!

Hey lovely Nube 💕

Finally, finally, I have the opportunity to jump into your ask box & get to know you better!!! We're both huge fans of fanfiction so this ask game was made for us! As usual, I can't stick to one question only so, if you're ok with that, may I ask you: A8 | B5 | C2 | D8?

Looking forward to reading your reply 👀

Lots of love 💕

<><><><><><>

PS: your comment/reblog of Lucy's post about this stinky comment on her fic was perfect 👏

Hello Val!! 🎊 awwww thanks for stopping by!!! Hahaha don't worry, we'll get to all of them!

(Adding a read more cause this got LONG sorry I'm physically incapable of summarising)

What was your first fandom? Are you still in that fandom now?

My first fandom was Harry Potter. I am not in that fandom still and do not wish to engage in it anymore for a number of reasons, but it was my gateway to reading from an early age and it was an excuse to bond with someone I cherished a lot and who sadly isn't here anymore. I met some awesome friends through it too, friends that put up with me to this day! Hahaha

Which story have you read more than any other? How many times?

You know... come to think of it, I haven't read an entire fic all over! 🤔 (regarding multichapter fics). I do want to highlight the ones I've been going back for certain chapters/scenes that I love! This list shows a variety of writing styles that leave me on the ground swooning (Warning!! no concrete spoilers buuuut references to scenes):

Holy Ground by @lucysarah-c (ongoing): Lucy can pretty much give a masterclass on poetic writing and I'm not exaggerating. I come back to it for my faves: chapter 9 (aka Levi's quiet morning gets interrupted in the funniest of ways - for us readers, not for him lmao), chapter 11 (aka not knowing how to play Scrabble leads to interesting outcomes), chapter 15 (one OF THE BEST LEVI POV I'VE LAID MY EYES ON), and chapter 17 (when you can feel yourself in the scene, it's just that amazing)

North Star by @sixpennydame (ongoing): such SUCH a special story. I love coming back to chapters 6 & 7, the whole Mount Aspe arc is exquisitely written.

Spectrum by @19941117 (finished): I have nothing but praise for this story and the incredible talent of its author. It focuses on an AoT character I've never seen explored before, and has the most breathtaking of endings.

Silver Underground by @amywritesthings (ongoing): this girrrrl leaves Easter eggs everywhere so I had to go back an re-read many parts to come up with theories lmao. I really enjoy the first chapter, the pace in it, the dialogue, the tension. And the whoooole bit on the Underground arc makes my heart become pudding.

Please tell me I didn't f*** up any link hahaha.

What word or expression always makes you cringe when you read it?

Usually I cringe when I see a sustained behaviour that feels excesively out of character to me (in those cases I choose to opt out). I also feel cringe-y in NSFW scenes when intimate parts are refered to overly poetically for my taste. I'd rather have them refered to in a filthy way tbh 😂

Which fandoms do you read fic for?

Currently I'm 99% dedicated to AoT (had a YoI phase a couple years ago!). Buuuut I wouldn't mind reading some Vinland Saga stories 😏 (@atruewarrior I'm looking at you)

.

.

Well I think that's it!! Thanks for the questions Val, have a wonderful week! 🌻🌻

Ask a reader meme

[sixpennydame]

I commissioned @reeking-rook to illustrate Levi from my postwar fic, North Star, and boy did they deliver! I am so in love with everything about it. 🤍🖤

[amywritesthings]

do you have any levi fics recommendations? i’m having trouble finding ones that live up to yours 😭🙏🏼

I WILL PREFACE AND SAY I HAVE NOT READ MANY LEVI FICS tbh i try to avoid fics of the person i'm about to write so i dont accidentally get influenced by portrayals (i'm also heavily into reading bnha fics right now, like that's all i currently read)

but

i highly rec @sixpennydame's DARK SIDE OF THE MOON fic. the first two parts are out, it's cyberpunk-y yakuza levi. it's SO fucking scrumptuous. that's my current obsession.

sailor's NORTH STAR series is also a great comfort/healing fic if you wanna curl up and get cozy.

@humanitys-strongest-brat also has a fantastic modern one shot called SHOELACES that i was giggling while reading

[littlerequiem]

North Star - Chapter 12

New chapter - now available on AO3!

Levi remembers… Desolation and despair as far as the eye could see. That was the state of the world days after The Battle of Heaven and Earth, as Levi was transported out of Fort Salta and into a hospital on the outer colonies of Marley. He had resisted being treated at all at first, rejecting the wheelchair Gabi and Falco had found him and insisting to walk with only a makeshift leg brace and cane, but the pain was more than even he could bear. He knew his Ackerman blood had allowed him to survive and heal up until now, albeit slowly, from his thunderspear wounds. In the final battle, as he had pushed his body to the absolute limit fighting titans and saving Jean and Connie, Levi had  trusted that blood to get him through to the end. But when Eren was finally defeated and the dust had cleared, he’d sensed something change within him, something difficult to describe but felt deeply inside him. That whatever his Ackerman blood had given him was gone.

On this New Year’s Eve, I found myself re-reading this scene from North Star, my slow burn, friends to lovers fic for postwar!Levi.

As soon as you arrive home, you head straight for the kitchen. Levi follows and finds you looking out of the large window overlooking Mirror Lake and the mountain range beyond. He stands next to you and joins in gazing over the horizon.

“I feel different somehow,” you say as the sky changes from dark blue to purple. “Like I’m on the precipice of something.”

“That’s good.”

You’re standing so close to him that your knuckles hit his hand. You decide to move a finger and brush it against his.

He responds by moving a finger of his own. It gently caresses the back of your hand. Such a light touch, but it gives you butterflies in your stomach.

Neither of you acknowledge the other’s movements, as if it’s some natural occurrence neither of you can control.

The sky begins to lighten little by little as you both look out the window. “So…what happens now?” Levi asks.

You’re not sure if he’s asking about the sunset or the fact that you’re both holding hands now, his fingers interlaced with yours. You decide to answer the former.

“I’ll show you.”

You turn towards him and he mirrors your movements. The warm pinks and purples of the morning shine on his face, giving him an almost angelic glow.

You lean in close and kiss him on his right cheek. “A kiss for the old year...”

Levi is frozen as you then move to his left cheek. “…and a kiss for the new.”

Your lips move slowly away from him, but you stop to look into his eyes, which at first meet your gaze. You want to reach up and touch him, but he beats you to it, his thumb moving across your cheek then down to your jaw. The butterflies in your stomach have now turned to a heat deep in your core.

It shouldn’t be this easy to care for someone else.

Lips mere millimeters from each other, begging for the other to make a move.

All it takes is the smallest of leaps for everything to change.

[youre-ackermine]

@sixpennydame Levi with his horse in Survey Corps before he met Demon post war in "North Star" 😉

and then i thought: “what if the horses were just as unique as the characters?”

[sixpennydame]

I made the scary decision to scrap the chapter I was writing for North Star and start fresh, and now the words are flowing!

——

——

Sometimes you have to take a big risk to make progress, I suppose.

Anyway, North Star is finally getting the attention from me it deserves!
