[alemanriq]

What’s this? Another Veterans’ secret santa??

Why, it is! I am hosting yet another one this year, and this time with our dear @laffitine​! 💜

If you forgot or are unsure of what this event is about, it's a gift exchange done anonymously between SnK fans (of the veteran characters) on the internet. This means that by signing up, you will be paired up with someone, and you will have to make a gift for them according to their tastes, without giving away your identity until the time to post the gift comes. The same thing will happen to you! so you will get a gift from an anonymous different person.

Here’s all you need to do in order to participate:

Like and/or reblog this post

Fill THIS FORM by November 30th (we already got some people from the interest check but there’s room for more of you!)

This is optional, but if you could share this with friends, it would be much appreciated!

Once the forms are closed, everyone will be assigned someone to gift. (might take us a couple of days so don't worry if you are not messaged right away)

The time of posting is from Jan 1st to Jan 9th:

This time, the event will be "cross-platform" (between Tumblr, Twitter and Instagram). That means that you can participate from any account you have in these sites.

When your gift is ready for posting, tag it with #snk veterans secret santa 2021 and/or #snkvets ss 2021. The date is important because tumblr sometimes shows old posts in the search results 😭. Make sure these tags are among the first five tags and tag either one of the hosts (@alemanriq and/or @laffitine) so we don’t miss any posts.

If there's any external link to your gift, you can either paste it in a post, give it to any of us so we can send it, or submit it to @alemanriq

If you wish to post or send your gift privately, that’s alright too! Just let us know so we can keep track of who gets their gift and who doesn’t.

If you cannot meet the deadline and need more time, or if any complications happen and you can no longer participate in the event that's totally fine! just please message any of us immediately so we can let your partner know they will have to wait for their gift a little longer.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, our ask boxes are open! Also, check the Q&A tag from previous years. And most importantly, have fun!! 3,2,1 let’s jam

Secret Santa for @thelittlewiseowl

A cup of Latte with 100 percent Love

Levi Ackerman was the owner of the Ackerman cafe opposite to Wall Sina institute. All his customers were mostly students and professors. All familiar faces. So, Christmas was nothing notable for this grumpy anti-social clean freak. However this year, he didn't have Oluo, Petra, Eld, and Gunther to accompany him. Oluo and Petra were married and off on a holiday. Eld's brother had invited him to stay around. Gunther was to go to his girl friend's home and get introduced.

Levi sighed. It seemed he was destined to be forever alone.

It was Christmas. He had hired a college drop out Eren, and his best buddy (a nerd, what Levi suspected) Armin to help him. He also asked his cousin, Mikasa to help him as she had nowhere to go either. He was rather surprised to hear that she was rather excited to help him. Oh! He should've realized there was something up between Mikasa and Eren. But it was too late! He scrunched his nose in disgust as he saw Eren hold Mikasa's hand while talking in a corner.

'Oy brat! Get to work you two! I can still see coffee stains on table 4'

They scurried away. What's worse is no one remembers it's his birthday. Not even Mike and Nanaba. They must've forgotten, what with 3 kids to handle at home. Kids are always brats! And her.... He would rather not recall anything about her...

Levi shook his head. It's been a long time. Their relationship would've worked out if only he had been a little more temperate; if only a little more considerate. He still loves her. Last night, she had posted a picture of her returning back on her Instagram. It's a wonder she hadn't blocked him yet. He had pushed her away. He had done terrible stuff. He should've supported her dreams. She was always meant to fly. He was only holding her back.

He sighed again.

It's a history, and she is not coming back anymore.

He sat with a fresh tea cup, well one hour before dawn. As everyone busily cleaned the room for the day, he sat there reminiscing her.

He was sitting right where he was, when she came in. She had a commanding face that begged for attention. Someone you cant ignore. Her brunette hair tied high up. He was listening to Mike and Nanaba bicker, Erwin was still alive then. He was the one who introduced her to him.

'Hey Hanji! You here for the first time?'

She turned to look at him and beamed. Oh! How much he wanted her to make her smile at him like that!

'Yap! Moblit said he brought all my coffee from here. So thought about visiting this place today.'

She strolled towards the counter where they all were sitted.

'And where is Moblit?'

'On a date with Nifa' she said with a very mischievous smile.  Well. Present day Moblit was married to Nifa, till Levi remembers. 'Wasn't he your boyfriend, Hanji?' Nanaba piped in. 'Who gave you such ideas, Nana? I am forever single.' Hanji laughed.

'Meet Levi here. He is my other forever single friend. The owner of the shop.' Erwin gestured towards Levi. To be honest, He just stared at Hanji, when she looked at him. He was lost. Lost in those brown eyes. Lost in the smile. Lost in her everything. Time seemed frozen.

'Hey Levi! It's not good to stare at someone you know.' Hanji laughed. He was broken out of the trance, and realized.... she was dirty. He couldn't believe he had overlooked the coffee stains, the mud stains, and pen mark, in the lab coat she wore (lab coat? Must be Erwin's department scientist) and the dirt in her trousers, her crumpled shirt.

'You are dirty. Take a bath'

Hanji just stared. Everyone did. If Levi didn't like someone he just stared at them and didn't speak. If he liked someone he learnt to keep shut about stuff he didn't like. But Levi being so blunt in first meet, was... something to behold.

That was his first meet.

Now looking back at the last...

The sun was high in their shared apartment. 'Levi please. I wanna go. It's the best chance in my life. I cannot leave my project right here. Not after I have worked so much.'

'Hanji its a damn war! You may get killed!'

'Erwin is going too!'

'I dont care!'

'Hanji dont go, please.'

'I can t deny the government! I need to be in their project. Erwin's whole team is in.'

'Hanji if you don't back off, we are breaking up.'

Hanji cooled down a bit. She looked hurt. So very hurt. 'Is it the other option? I go and we break up, I don't, we stay put?'

Levi took a step back. He was angry. He desperately wanted to be with her. He didn't want to see her die. He had read in the newspaper. All the people who died. She was a scientist, yes. But it didn't stop her chances to... he couldn't bring those words.

'Yes' He hoped she valued their relationship over her science. He knew. But he knew wrong.

'Okay then.' She said calmly and put the ring off from her finger. 'I will pay this month's bill as it was supposed to be. I am booking tickets.' And she left the living room in a flurry, leaving a broken and bewildered Levi looking right at the spot she was standing on. He didn't want this. It was his last straw to protect her. It was the last method. And... no... he didn't. He didn't...

She was gone the next day. The bill in an envelope. No sign she ever lived in this apartment. No sign that Hanji ever existed. Phone number not working. Instagram didn't exist then. She was off grid. Yes. She was in a top secret mission. She had to he off grid. Both Erwin and Hanji. One month later, North headquarters were ransacked. Scientist Erwin Smith was reported dead. Levi was so broke. He couldn't open his cafe anymore. He just sat in his apartment and cried. The envelope she left was also on its place. He would never sell away something that was hers. It still sits in his drawer. The ring still sits in the bedside table.

He sighed again and looked at the watch. It was 7 am. It's time to open the cafe. 'Oy brats! Did you finish yet?' He tied a handkerchief around his mouth and started to help them, seeing it was going nowhere. The shop opened, people got in looking all merry. It only broke his heart.

Time flew past boringly. People came and went. Ordered their drinks, and left with them, sat with their lovers, their families.

It was a heck of a day. Christmas was always a heck of a day.

As Levi was cleaning the counter for the nth time, trying not to mutter 'shitty day' in a row for nth time, the door opened with a chime. He didn't know why he felt an urge to look up. Some aura had got in in him. It was unusual for him to bother looking at customers, since Eren, Mikasa, and Armin were doing all the work other than cleaning. He looked up, and his jaws dropped. Time stopped. It was as if he held the entire world that moment.

Those eyes. Those shitty eyes. Four eyes. The spark behind te glasses. The commanding lines of the face that demanded his attention, that spoke authority. The brunette mess of hair tied in a ponytail. The smudged, crumpled shirt and trouser. The only thing missing was the white lab coat. Hanji. Zoe Hanji.

She moved closer to him, hesitantly. He couldn't comprehend what was happening. Had he gone crazy? Had his mind already taken all the shit in life? What was he doing? He just stopped and stared.

'Hey Levi! It's not good to stare at someone you know' she smiled softly. All the brazen starkness in her angular face gone. The quirks long faded away. Her face was soft, different. She radiated a soft aura. She was different. She wasn't the ambitious Hanji, he knew. She was someone else. Someone softer, yet someone home.

Hanji held his hand. Suddenly Levi was conscious that Eren, Mikasa and Armin were staring at them. At him. He pulled his hand away.

'What would you order, ma'am?'

Hanji laughed. 'A latte with 100 percent forgiveness. Can you give me that, Mr. Ackerman? I will pay with 100 percent repentance.'

Sheesh. Those brats were all googly eyed. 'I will serve you a latte, and maybe talk about you specific request a bit later?' Hanji laughed again. That laugh. The one he had always yearned to hear. He smiled. He actually did. After all those years.

'You three get to work! I am making the latte for Dr. Hanji'

'Hoy!'

'Why did you come back?' He asked. Sitting down on the chair opposite to her, with a latte and a cup of tea. 'I realized I was wrong. I should've stayed. I should've understood that you meant good. I wanted to come back after the damn war ended. But I was burdened with more work. I had to sort out a lot of stuff. Erwin's stuff. I understood your point, Levi. When Erwin died... it was so sudden... I understood it. I had talked to him an hour before he died. It was so normal. I-'

She broke off crying.

'I am sorry too, Hanji.' He held her shaking hands. 'When you left, I went to my mother. She was very angry with me. She pointed out my mistake. Her last wish was that I sort out our matter. But I never did that. I could'nt bring myself to connect to you. I was afraid-'

'I am so sorry about your mother, Levi. We both were quite uncompromising, you know. It brought the end of our relationship.' Hanji whispered. A moment of silence passed.

'Anyway' restored to her jolly mood, 'I brought you presents!'

Levi could feel his ears go red, as he again caught Eren and Mikasa staring at them. He glared at them.

'Those brats!'

'Ugh. Let them be. They are hormone inflicted teenagers! Will be okay in a few years!'

'Whatever!'

Hanji pulled out a box of tea set from her huge handbag. This is your christmas present.

'Jeez, thanks.' Oh fuck! He hadn't prepared any gifts for her.

'And this is your birthday present. Happy birthday, Levi.' She looked at him sheepishly as she passed him a packet. He opened it to find a bunch of photos. It wasn't him and Hanji on it only. One had his mother, Hanji, and him. One had Kenny and him. One had Erwin, Hanji, Him, Nanaba, Mike and Moblit. A picnic photo. They brought tears to his eyes.

How all of them had moved on. Since the war. Since the college days. Since everything. And it was only him. Still living in the past.

She gently put her hand on his shoulder. 'Let's renew something broken today, Levi. I know its too much to ask for but, will you-'

'I have only one present for you.' He pushed the Latte to her. 'I know you asked for latte with 100 per cent forgiveness, but if I gave you latte with 100 percent love, just for free, will you accept it?'

'My grumpy, little neat freak!'

This Christmas, almost 10 years since the last he enjoyed, was a cup of latte with 100 percent love.

Secret Santa fic for @theerurishipper. Happy holidays, I hope you like it! Thank you to @alemanriq and @laffitine for hosting this :)

Summary:

They would leave in the morning to begin their walk through the relatively uncharted land beyond the populated walls of Paradis Island. They would disappear. It was dark, the room illuminated only by the dying embers of the fire and the small sliver of moonlight cascading through the window. Levi’s pale skin was washed in its milky white glow. He looked so beautiful like this in the moonlight, like night belonged to him, was created to make his features look ethereal.

[levi-supreme]

Roommates

Characters: Erwin Smith, Levi Ackerman

Genre: Modern!au with tiny references to canonverse

Warnings: SFW. Not really a warning but Erwin and Levi are in their thirties.

A/N: Here's my gift for @sugardaddyerwinsmith as part of the SNK Veterans Secret Santa 2021! Thank you @alemanriq and @laffitine for hosting this event! Enjoy some headcanons of Erwin and Levi as roommates/housemates in a modern world!

The one common quality both men had was one word: Discipline. Erwin goes to bed at 11pm and never fails to wake up at 5:30am every morning to ease into his morning routine of showering, going out for a morning run, reading the morning paper while having his breakfast, and then preparing for work. He needs to have his cup of black coffee daily or he'll be grumpy.

Levi on the other hand is a major insomniac who only gets less than two hours of sleep per day. He is asleep when Erwin is awake, and Levi remains awake for the majority of the day. Despite that, Levi lives a life of routine as well. His bedroom is always clean and free from dust, his chores are always completed and he never makes a mess.

Despite their routines being vastly different, the two men were able to share an apartment without any mishaps. Levi was on the introverted side, and Erwin liked working alone. Levi preferred silence while Erwin enjoyed the solitude. Erwin never once made Levi uncomfortable by striking unnecessary conversations, and Levi respected Erwin's space as well.

The two of them don't usually have their meals together, but when they do, they strike a pleasant conversation, although Erwin talks more and Levi listens. They chat about current affairs and share world views. Occasionally if they're free, they share a couple of drinks on weekends and talk about more personal things.

Their apartment is neat, spacious, and only has what is necessary. No fancy furniture, not too many decorative items. They split chores equally among themselves; Levi does the majority of the cleaning and washing, and Erwin does most of the manual labour and errands. The two men are independent, yet they both can function together seamlessly.

Erwin's room is warm and comfortable. He prefers using white lights as it brightens his room. Erwin has his desk by the side of the window and a beanbag at the other corner. The opposite side of the wall is covered with books and also trophies and awards he won in school. Erwin has some succulents on his desk as well as a small glass tank of guppies. He loves talking to his guppies after a stressful day at work.

Levi's room is simple, plain, and free from clutter. He uses warm lights because white lights are too bright and hurts his eye. Levi has his desk in front of the window and sits with his back facing it so that he can work in the morning with direct sunlight. During the night, Levi lights a candle, brews a pot of tea, and spends his nights reading while the moonlight shines through the window. Levi also has a miniature water fountain he places on his desk, the sound of the running water calms his busy mind.

A/N: This is very random but if Mike were to also live with Erwin and Levi, I'm pretty sure the house would then be in a mess XD
