AOT Characters as Titan Shifters!

(Not including the ones we already have)

———

Mikasa - Let’s forget that Ackermans can’t become shifters for a moment and imagine her as the Female Titan. Massive strength and agility all at once.

Jean - I’d say the Cart Titan and not just for the face jokes, but also it’d be cool to see him aiding his comrades by carrying them or cannons on his back.

Marco - He’s totally a fit for the Armoured Titan, and not just ‘cause of a certain someone, but he’s definitely use it as a defensive shield for his allies.

Connie - The only one I can think of is the Jaw Titan. It’s small, agile, and… it just seems the perfect fit for him.

Sasha - Of course the War Hammer Titan. Imagine her using its powers to form a giant bow and arrow to shoot at her enemies, she’d already master it.

Historia - If you remember Pixis’ illusion from the OVA, Historia had a titan form similar to the Founding Titan, but she has royal blood so…

Erwin - Come on, we all know it’ll be the Colossal Titan. Towering over everything, uses it wisely and only destructively when necessary to a situation.

Miche - This one’s ironic, but the Beast Titan. I can picture him being a furry bear-like form, with huge fists to fight with and a larger sense of smell too.

-

(Not including Levi because he’s already powerful enough)

[twpsyn-who]

Ok, but hear me out - Marco gets shallowed whole by the titan, then Reiner kills it and they all think he died and stuff. But, you know, he didn't. Because they killed the titan too soon. So, Marco gets to I Don't Know Man crawl out of the titan. The only problem? He doesn't have any odm, nor can he risk trying to get anyone's attention in case the 3 notices him and finish the job for good.

Now, this is my sleep deprived mind talking but- Marco gets outside the wall and finds a tiny titan that's docile for some reasons. Like, I don't know, that titan sees Marco and is like "I'm gonna protect this guy with my life". Marco doesn't complain. Problem is that he can't get inside the wall, he needs to get in contact with someone from the SC (as they often go outside the wall) or preferably find Jean (which is unlikely as he's going to join the MP). Cue to the expedition outside and Marco coming riding on the tiny titan and finds Jean, Armin and Reiner and the first thing he does is yell "Jean!" all happy and relieved and finally feeling safe after so much time alone.

... Then he notices Reiner and all the color goes away from his face. He thinks "We are fucked" - so does Reiner.

Attack on Titan OC #1: The Fury Titan

Name: Miles Rex

Name Meaning: ~ Miles: "Soldier" or "Gracious, Merciful" ~ Rex: "King" ~ Combined: "Soldier King" or "Merciful King"

Age: 10 (Fall of Shiganshina), 15 (Battle of Trost), 19 (Assault on Liberio)

Gender: Cis Male (He/Him)

Sexuality: Omnisexual (Female Lean)

Family: ~ Max Rex (Biological Father, Deceased) ~ Alexandra Rex (Mother, Deceased) ~ Hannes (Adopted Father, Alive) ~ Iris Rex (Older Sister, Alive) ~ Leo Rex (Twin Brother, Alive)

Love Interests: ~ Mikasa Ackerman (Unrequited Childhood Crush, outgrown) ~ Marco Bodt (Fling during the Cadet Corps) ~ Sasha Braus (Main LI) ~ Historia Reiss (Backup LI) ~ Your OC (if you want)

Religion: Atheistic

Known Languages: Eldian

Physical Description: Miles is fairly short at 5'2 (157 cm) with a lean, athletic build. He's rather tanned from his time outdoors and has freckles along his nose, cheeks, arms, and shoulders. His shaggy brown hair falls to about the nape of his neck, so he tends to tie it up out of his face, revealing his pale eyes, though loose strands still tend to fall around the sides.

Outfit: Miles wears the standard military uniform, with the white shirt and pants, knee-high brown boots, and brown jacket with the Scout Regiment's insignia on the arms and back. While out on expeditions, he wears a green hooded cloak with the Scouts' insignia on the back. He also wears his mother's silver ring on his right hand's middle finger.

Personality: Miles is a man of extremes and contradictions, a living paradox. Outwardly, he's cheerful, laidback, and quick with a quip, always ready to lighten the mood with his infectious smile and playful antics. He embraces life with a devil-may-care attitude, throwing himself headfirst into danger with a confidence that borders on recklessness. His adaptive mind and lowered pain sensitivity make him seem almost invincible—a man who laughs in the face of fear and shrugs off physical pain like it's nothing.

Beneath this carefree facade, however, lies a fierce and deeply emotional core. Miles is driven by an intense, unwavering love for his family—both biological and chosen—that shapes every aspect of his being. He claims he only cares about his loved ones and that the rest of humanity is meaningless to him, yet his actions often betray a broader sense of empathy and justice. He's the first to call out superiors for treating soldiers as disposable, even willing to risk his life or career to defend the dignity and value of those around him.

This duality defines Miles: he's capable of unimaginable violence when it comes to protecting the people he loves, yet he's also the one who insists on the inherent worth of every human life. His empathy runs so deep that it sometimes feels like a contradiction—how can someone so willing to shed blood also fight so hard for peace? But for Miles, there is no contradiction at all; his capacity for violence comes not from violence but from love, an unrelenting drive to shield those he holds dear from harm.

Voice Claim: Robbie Daymond

Powers: Miles gets his powers in Season 2, where the potent mix of his rage and protective nature created the perfect brewing ground to draw in the Fury Titan to offer its power. Forging the pact, Miles's protective rage opened the door to several abilities so long as he was in this rageful state: ~ Increased Strength: Similar to the Titans, Miles's strength becomes disproportionate to his weight or size. He also gets faster, but this is just because of the increased strength in his leg muscles. ~ Regeneration: Like other Titan Shifters, Miles can regenerate from his wounds. Unlike other Titan Shifters, however, this regeneration is restricted to only when he's channeling the Titan's power via his enraged state. ~ Altered Skeletal Structure: Mile's bones have been altered. Most of his bones are hollow, making him lighter, though key parts of his body have denser bones to help with shock absorption and structural integrity. ~ Titan Transformation: Miles can fully transform into the Fury Titan, granted he's in his enraged state that channels its power and he's injured in a way that triggers the transformation like the other Shifters. The Fury Titan is shorter than most of the other Titan Shifters, being only 10 meters in comparison to the ~14/15 meters of the Attack Titan, Female Titan, Armored Titan, etc. It shares his long, wild hair, but its eyes burn more of an orangeish-reddish color like fire. This Titan's two most notable traits are the leathery wings on its back and the fact that it's capable of breathing fire via a combination of glands in its throat that produce a combustible gas, which is then ignited with friction. ~ Fear: The Pure Titans seem to panic at the sight of the Fury Titan, and the Titan Shifters, regardless of if they're in their human or titan forms, feel a sense of danger by being near him.

Backstory: Miles Rex was born as the older of a set of twins in Shiganshina, a town in the south end of Wall Maria. Miles was a part of one of the poorest families in Shiganshina, along with his sickly twin brother Leo, their older sister Iris, and their parents. This life of poverty, coupled with Leo's sickly nature, meant Miles quickly learned to be quick on his feet and good with his hands. He got good at parkour, using the terrain to get around Shiganshina quick and to escape soldiers and angry merchants from whom he'd stolen food to feed himself and Leo.

Their already harsh life only got worse when the twins were seven years old. Their mother, a soldier in the Scout Regiment, died during an expedition beyond the walls. For all her bravery and sacrifice, the Scouts' mission yielded no results, and her death became just another statistic in a string of doomed operations. To Miles, her death marked the beginning of his anger toward the systems in place—the people in power who sent good men and women to die without a second thought.

The following year, the family's struggles took an even darker turn. Their father, a kind but exhausted man who worked tirelessly to support his children, was stabbed to death in what was likely a robbery gone wrong. It was Miles who stumbled upon the aftermath, the sight of his father lying lifeless into a pool of his own blood seared into his memory. His screams brought Leo and Iris running, and the image of the three siblings huddled together in that dimly lit alley remains a haunting chapter in their family's story.

When the Rex children turned to the Military Police Regiment for justice, they were met with indifference. Their father's death was deemed insignificant compared to other matters, and the investigation into his murder was half-hearted to put it generously. The culprit was never found, and Miles learned a bitter lesson: those who claimed to protect and serve cared little for the powerless and the poor. This experience planted the seeds of Miles's deep-seated distrust and disdain for the Military Police, a sentiment that would only grow as he aged.

The siblings found themselves on the verge of being separated. Iris, Leo, and Miles prepared themselves for the harsh reality of being sent to different homes—or worse, becoming homeless entirely. However, Hannes, a soldier in the Garrison Regiment who had become something of a mentor to Iris after she also joined the Garrison, stepped in to take them in.

Living with Hannes was far from conventional. The man was laidback to the point of irresponsibility, with a fondness for drinking that rivaled his dedication to his duties. He often treated life as one big joke, teaching the siblings that laughter was the best way to survive a cruel world. While this attitude clashed with Iris's natural sense of responsibility and only deepened Leo's quiet introspection, it resonated deeply with Miles.

Under Hannes's roof, Miles grew into his devil-may-care persona, embracing his adoptive father's irreverence toward authority and laidback approach to life. However, unlike Hannes, who was content with doing the bare minimum, Miles's experience with hardship gave him a fire that couldn't be extinguished. Where Hannes numbed with frustrations with booze and jokes, Miles channeled his emotions into action—sometimes reckless, sometimes heroic, but always driven by his fierce desire to protect the people he cared about.

Hannes's influence wasn't entirely positive, though. While his humor and relaxed demeanor helped Miles cope with his traumas, it also emboldened him to lash out against anyone who threatened or insulted his family, especially Leo. Miles, already protective by nature, developed a habit of getting into fights with anyone who so much as looked at his sickly brother the wrong way. Whether it was kids in the neighborhood mocking Leo's frailty or grown men trying to take advantage of the siblings' poverty, Miles rarely hesitated to throw a punch or two.

Hannes, while not a strict disciplinarian by any means, occasionally tried to rein Miles in. But his own penchant for cutting corners and avoiding serious conflict meant his attempts were half-hearted at best. If anything, Hannes often ended up laughing off Miles's antics, unintentionally encouraging the boy's brash tendencies.

Everything changed with the sound of thunder. A Titan large enough to peer over the walls appeared and kicked the gate in, allowing the Titans to flood into Shiganshina. Wall Maria was lost, and humanity fled behind Wall Rose. But things didn't change much for the siblings. Sure, they'd been relocated to Trost, but their situation remained the same. Food had always been scarce for them. The only difference is that everyone else was clawing, scratching, and biting for survival right alongside them. While the world was suddenly thrust into chaos, it was business as usual for the Rex family.

Two years later, Miles joined the 104th Cadet Corps, vowing to follow in his mother's footsteps as a Scout. Leo accompanied him, promising himself that he would join Iris in the Garrison.

Other Info: ~ Miles almost exclusively uses nicknames for others. It's to the point that he even uses the nicknames when relaying info to superiors, when using actual names would be more efficient. Leo is honestly convinced that Miles straight-up doesn't know anyone's name. ~ Miles consistently acts as if superiors in the military equals. To Miles, rank is meaningless, your respect is earned through action, and poor decisions can cost you his respect. He flat-out states that Fitz Woermann and Nile Dok are bad leaders undeserving of their positions and that he thinks the common idea of the "greater good" is a delusion that weak leaders tell themselves to justify their cruel orders.

From Darkness We Flee

Chapter Five: Ice Queen Zakai

Warnings: canon typical violence, canon typical angst

Characters: Zakai Eriko, Connie Springer, Jean Kirschtein, Marco Bodt

Word Count: 1.3k

Zakai was simply going through the motions again. She was tired and this life was crumbling under her touch, she stared into her potato soup as life happened around her. How long had it been? A week? Just a week? Zakai sighed, her mind was always elsewhere these days, wasn't it? From her paranoia to this hopelessness, it was far from where it should be. Zakai couldn't help but think about Reiner, about Bertholdt, about Annie. Yet it was a shocking reveal to herself, one that burned and blazed within her own heart. You still need to atone. Zakai reminded herself, closing her eyes. What was she meant to do? With them? Tell Shadis? Who would believe her? Zakai tilted her head downwards, all the more conflicted. Zakai could make him believe her but at what cost to herself? Was that the best course of action? Zakai couldn't decide which would garner the best results. Let them rip this world apart limb from bloody limb and survive in whatever they leave behind? Tell the instructor and likely be ignored or dismissed? Zakai wouldn't really blame him either, not realizing the horror that is a reality ripped out of their very memories. Zakai could show Shadis that titan shifters do exist, show herself off as a sacrificial lamb. What will stop him from slaughtering me? Scratch that, torturing me for days on end while they get to escape with little consequence? 

Zakai stood abruptly, she knew eyes on her. It was a burning feeling. She looked beside her at Eren, the brunette was beyond bewildered. Those teal eyes wide, similarly Armin was just as surprised. Zakai wordlessly left as Eren opened his mouth to speak, leaving those at the table to come to their own conclusions. Anger blazed its way through her veins, fear gripped her heart with its icy tendrils. A clash of hot and cold, searing and freezing. Zakai slammed the door to the mess hall shut behind her, narrowing her eyes. Zakai would not let them dictate what path she would take. As she originally ascertained, she needed someone. Zakai could not be caught by either side, she knew that much. Zakai slowed her pace to a stop, staring up at the dawn above her. The way the chill in the air felt on her skin, causing goosebumps to rise along her arms. 

It was just a moment of peace, with no one around to see how she settled and let the sky draw her in. It felt like freedom. 

Zakai never wanted to stop feeling this clarity ever again, the way there was orange and pink along the sky as the sun rose with every passing minute. Zakai inhaled deeply before letting her stress melt away as she exhaled. Zakai let a small smile grace her face. However, it fell in an instant as she grew rigid, feeling someone wrap their arms around her torso from behind. Zakai scowled, annoyance flickering in her blue grey gaze. 

"If you value your life, let go before I end it, worm." Zakai growled, voice giving away her irritation. 

Zakai felt the person hugging her go stiff and tense at her words, another bursting out in laughter. Zakai was certain there was only one moron who would be convinced to sneak up on her. So, with a cold calm that could terrify far too many, Zakai grabbed one of the arms that had been slowly releasing her. 

"No, no, no, NO!" Came his panicked voice, "HEL-"

And in a split second, Zakai swung the person's entire body over her own. It wasn't unlike Annie's own move except it wasn't using the momentum and weight of someone else to execute the throw. Zakai stared down at the boy who had shrieked as he was thrown. A resounding thud resonated from the bald boy's body. Connie laid there, staring up at the sky in both shock and pain. As if on cue, the laughing got louder. 

"Kirschtein." Zakai growled, turning and letting her gaze focus on the taller culprit. 

Jean was doubled over, holding his stomach as he laughed. Zakai was hardly impressed but looked to the small chuckle of the other beside Jean, she sighed and chuckled just as small as the freckled cadet. Zakai pressed a hand against her cheek, watching as Jean recovers and stands up straight. 

"You torment me, Pretty Boy, you really do." Zakai sighs.

Jean felt his cheeks redden, "Thats not my name!" 

The freckled boy stepped forward, "It was nice seeing you so calm before… Connie and Jean." He stated with a friendly smile and an awkward chuckle, "I'm Marco."

Zakai recognized him immediately. The boy she was sure would die for the military, after all… Wasn't he just way too nice? Those people either get corrupted or die. Either way, his reputation thus far would help her so she needed him. 

"Zakai, it's a pleasure." She hummed.

Zakai ignored how Jean rolled his eyes, stepping towards Marco. "Ignore Pretty Boy, he's just jealous of you. I'm sure." Zakai added on with a tilt of her head, "Not everyone can be as… Nice as you are." 

"You are such a bitch." Jean grumbled, approaching Connie and helping him up.

"An Ice Queen!" Connie remarked, "... You didn't have to throw me so hard!" 

Jean smirked, "Yeah. Ice Queen Zakai, huh?"

Zakai glanced over her shoulder, lazily glaring at Connie and Jean, "Then don't be such a moron, I won't have to beat intelligence into you." 

Marco sighed, "... Man, what a first meeting. Jean and Connie meant well! It's just… You left so abruptly and looked so…" Marco trailed off, shifting under Zakai's gaze.

Zakai stared at Marco. She felt a twinge of guilt. Was she really going to use him? Corrupt him all herself? This scene felt almost familiar as she furrowed her brows, shrugging, "I'm fine. Don't you worry, Marco, was it?" 

The black haired cadet perked up, "Yeah. That's right." He muttered, cheeks a touch red. 

"Marco's got a-" Connie began to ask, looking to Jean. The latter slapping a hand over his mouth, "Shut it." He growled, "You really are a moron, Ice Queen over there was right." 

Zakai finally turned to face the two, Marco by her side. She perked a brow but otherwise didn't show her reaction to the scene at hand. She snickered hearing Connie let out a muffled, "Ouch." Jean looked to her. The two at a standstill. Zakai knew he was observant, that much had been picked up through how fast he was improving at the ODM gear. She also knew she was highly skilled at covering her bases. Yet did he know? 

"Hey, what was that whole thing between you and Reiner a week ago?" 

Zakai grew stiff, staring at Jean for a few moments before sighing. "Why? What has the brute been saying?" She questioned, eyes narrowed.

Braun… You bastard. Zakai was cross, to say the least. Jean shrugged with a scoff, "Yeah, thats the weird thing. For all he does say, he's not really telling anyone much. It's damn annoying. I just want to know what stupid drama you've got going on, Captain's Daughter."

Zakai tapped her foot impatiently, "Nothing of any real note." She lied flawlessly, "I just don't like him. He's annoying and weak." 

Connie stared, "Am I just stupid or does that make no sense?" He questioned.

Jean scoffed with a loud hah, "If thats not the freshest load of bullshit I've ever heard. Weak? That guy? He tackled me and I felt like I got hit by a horse. If you call that "weak", how strong are you? 'Cause I saw you go down the other day pretty easily. Against Ymir." 

The brunette pressed her lips together in thought, "He… Used to be different, let's just leave it at that." Zakai grumbled.

Zakai thought for a second, about Reiner. About everything, just for a moment. Zakai had to navigate whatever he was saying, decide whether or not to expose those as lies or play along as he had told her. Zakai could say confidently, she hated Reiner Braun. That much she would never hide. Not now nor ever would she make the mistake of keeping quiet regarding that man ever again.

ID under the cut

[Image ID. three grayscale pencil drawings of Jean Kirschtein and Marco Bodt from the anime Attack on Titan.

The first image is a drawing of Jean from the shoulders up, a light-haired young man in his twenties with a goatee and mullet that actually looks decent on him, looking extremely distressed. A speech bubble next to him reads, “M-Marco? But-But how...?” He wears a black turtlekneck type suit with a zipper, the buckles of some sort of harness visible on his shoulders.

The second drawing shows Marco from the shoulders up, a dark-haired young man around Jean’s age, looking tired and vaguely confused. He’s olive-skinned with a large mottled scar covering the right half of his face and freckles across his cheek and nose. There are hints of stubble visible on his chin and his hair is parted down the middle and neatly trimmed just above his ears. An eyepatch covers his injured eye and he wears a tan military coat with dark accents.  His speech bubble reads, “Who’s Marco?”

The third drawing shows a bust of Marco in Titan form.  His skin and hair are similar in color to his human form and his blinded right eye is cloudy. Where his freckles would be, he sports leopard spots. His mouth is lipless, exposing his teeth, and his collar bones are also exposed. His ears are ridged and pointed like an elf’s.

[marley-warriors]

Soldiers... Warriors...

Can’t we just be both?

“Not just any titan. The armoured titan. People might notice.” Reiner corrected as he stood beside Bertholdt. The scene before them was unreal. “We need more of them to gather before the inner gate even comes into question.” Bertholdt looked to Reiner a bit unsure. “But Reiner, they are killing all of our titans, and Eren regained control of his titan... it must be the attack...” He murmured.

Reiner nodded. “Yeah. Who would have though Eren was one of us? But the founder must still be in wall Sina.” Reiner now grinned as he placed a hand on Bertholdt’s shoulder. “Hey Bertl, Imagine what great heros we would be if we not only returned the Founding titan, but also the Attack titan. We will be the best Warriors in the history of Marley!” He beamed. Bertholdt tried to chuckle, already 17, but still dreaming of being a hero. “Yeah... if only we still had Marcel too.” He muttured to himself, but the blonde beside him pulled away his arm in a frown.

Marcel... that was his fault. “Marcel would have know what to do. We would surely already be home with his help. Its been 5 long years and we are still no closer to finding the coordinate.”

Bertholdt immediately felt bad upon seeing the pained, guilt ridden face of his friend. “Reiner... we all ran, its not your fault. Don’t burden yourself like this.” The brunette would have talked on before looking up at the sound of a roar. “Hm, Kicking in that wall was hard, Eren nearly got my nape.”

Reiner nodded before noticing the dissapointed look in Bertholdt’s eyes. “It won’t be for nothing. Ill shift and fight him. And Annie can scream in the mean time.” Reiner then noticed the horrified look on Bertholdt’s face. “Huh? What is it Bert? You don’t think I can face up against another titan? With my armour there is nothing Eren can do against-“ Wait, Bertholdt wasn’t looking at Reiner. The blonde quickly turned around.

“... Oi... Marco, how long have you been standing there?”

This had not been the plan. Reiner had no choice but to grab Marco, ignoring his cries and please. “Im sorry Marco, but you know to much.” He growled coldly.

Bertholdt stood there in shock as Annie came along. It happened real fast. Too fast, at least so he told himself in later times.

“Annie! Its time! We need to shift to stop Eren! He cannot block the gate, we must stop him.”

Warm tears rolled down the girls checks, but she nodded before flying off outside the walls to shift. Reiner watched as Marco continued struggling underneath him, not even hearing out his plea.

Annie charged in through the gate to fast to even be sliced down, running through Trost district as she killed men left, right and centre.

“Alright, Annie cleared out the area. I have to move fast.” Reiner grumbled at Bertholdt. “Hold him.”

“Huh?” Bertholdt looked so unsure, like a little kid about to receive unjust punishment. Still he grabbed Marco, watching as Reiner jumped of the roof while slitting his hand. It was good that all eyes were focused on Eren and the titan sporting boobs.

“Bertholdt?! Please? Why are you doing this?! Just let me go, we can talk this out! You can still join our side like Eren did!” Bertholdt pinned Marco down silently before looking up to the large hand above him. Together with Marco, Bertholdt was scooped up in the armoured hand. “Eren’s about to reach the gate!” Bertholdt shouted out before another finger seperated him from Marco, the latter now being tossed into Reiner’s maw.

“Reiner?!” Bertholdt looked up horrified, but understanding as he swallowed back his tears. They were warriors, and Reiner could really be one ruthless warrior. Bert had little more time to think of that as he was tucked away behind a plate of armour, Reiner now charging at Eren whom dropped the boulder on his own foot before Reiner smashed him to the ground. That ought to keep him down for a while. There was a deafening shriek in the distance, followed by even louder trampling of titan feet. There were a number of soldiers circling Reiner like annoying flies, none able to do any damage as he ran deeper into Trost towards the inner gate.

‘Hold on tight Bertholdt’ Reiner thought to himself as he charged at the gate, running through the horde of titans before smashing the inner gate.

Reiner panted heavy before realising some concentrated steam. He then gentle lifted his finger to stroke Bertholdt sitting behind his armour plating. Annie was quick to follow through, mindless titans streaming into Wall Rose after her. It was time to get away from here now before the mindless titans started presenting problems for them. At least they didn’t have to worry about the boulder anymore, hearing Eren roar and fight against the titans drawn into Trost as the ran for wall Rose.

()()()()

“Im bushed.” Reiner sighed, looking up to the stars, shifter marks evaporating into the darkness. Bertholdt laid on the roof beside him. “Yeah, today has been pretty exhausting... mentally and physically. But we did it.”

Reiner nodded. “Yeah, just barely. Eren really increased the stress factor. For a while I debated just letting him seal up the wall, but what would be the point in that?”

Bertholdt was quiet. “How did you do it Reiner...?”

“Huh? The wall? You were right there with me.”

Bertholdt shook his head. “No, I mean’t Marco. Wasn’t he our friend?”

Reiner looked confused. “Yeah of course he is our friend. What happened to him?” Reiner looked so confused and it broke Bertholdt’s heart.

“... don’t worry about it... he was eaten by a titan.” Not just any titan, Bertholdt thought to himself bitterly. Reiner sat up. “The titans got him? But he was such a good guy, I like him. Jean will be so sad... really Marco did not deserve that.” Reiner placed a hand on Bertholdt’s shoulder. “Hey, at least the two of us didn’t get eaten by Titans, right?” He tried to cheer up, but it only made Bertholdt cry.

“...Reiner, don’t you remember why we are here?” He sobbed. “We are warriors... but you keep on forgetting... sometimes for weeks and months. Its why we are still stuck here. I want to go home!” Bertholdt cried out miserably.

Reiner had taken a sharp breath. “Warriors, right.” He covered his hand in shame, remembering what he had done to Marco and his friends. They would have to kill the all, and it hurt.

“They aren’t really demons, right? Or are they? I can’t tell anymore.” Reiner mumbled. Bertholdt shrugged. “Demons or not, we have a mission. “Right.” Reiner nodded solemnly. “Well, we are one step closer to getting home.” He tried to assure with a pat on the back.

A little Fic, dunno why. Sorry but English is not my first language and I had no spellcheck on my phone.

Its really hard when a character you love gets killed off by another character you love. :( Marco deserved better.

Thoughts on AoT Ending

[verratensduo]

“Aw, shoot, I’m being kidnapped.” (@ marco from eren)

Marco just smirked a bit as he carried Eren over his shoulder. “I wouldn’t have to do this if you had just agreed to come see what I was trying to show you.” He laughed as he headed for the woods. In this moment, he was not the Warhammer Titan, Just Marco Bodt. There was no Titan shifters, just two friends one who might have a slight crush on the other goofing around. It was like nothing bad was about to happen. Even if he knew he would have to take Eren by force if he did not come with him willingly. But, for now he was just screwing around with his friend.

How tragic it would all have to end. But those where thoughts for another time. He smirked a bit as he looked over to Eren again.

“And besides, you have to admit you never thought I could carry you huh? Despite me being taller and bulkier than you.” He teased Eren in good nature as he kept walking into the forest. He fell quiet for a few moments before he spoke again.

“Trust me, the flowers in the meadow I want to show you glow under the moonlight. This much I promise.” In another life, Marco could take Eren there for far better, much happier reasons than why he was taking Eren there now. That was for sure.

But enough facts like this, he wanted to enjoy what little time he had as Eren’s friend left.

Seashells And Dandelions

summary: Marco Bodt’s childhood friend joins the scouts in hopes of making a better life, Marco being the person he is refuses to let her do it alone and insists he comes with her. They go through highs, (making friends, growing a stronger friendship, and making memories with each other and their new friends) and lows. When Marco’s death hit Y/N it hit hard and they sought out the comfort of Armin, the two being previous friends to get closer and eventually form a romantic relationship. However living in a world of demons can take a toll on relationships platonic and romantic.

Chapter 4

 “What if we get caught?” 

“We’re not going to get caught. Besides, do you think anyone would really care” 

I looked back and saw Armin give a nervous smile while looking around cautiously. I had convinced him to sneak out after everyone went to bed, we haven’t spent much time together ever since the whole Eren situation. I had expected a lot but I never would have thought Eren was a titan shifter, kinda ironic since he hates titans with a burning passion

“Where exactly are we going” Armin's voice brought me out of my thoughts

“It’s a surprise '' I said, turning to shoot him a wink before moving on. Twisting through trees and bushes, trying not to get lost. It was silent, comfortable. Every once in a while I looked back to see if Armin was still following me. Finally, after some, 30, minutes we arrived, I stopped abruptly cause Armin to run into my back

“Where is this?” He asked moving to stand beside me, taking my hand into his 

“A pond,” I said as a large smile grew on my face 

“We haven't really spent much time together, and things seem to be ok for now so I want to take advantage of that opportunity to be with you” I explained as I began to walk down the small hill we were perched on

“That sounds nice,” Armin said quietly as we got to the bottom

“So what now?” he asked looking at the pond

“Now I'll show you the constellations,” I said sitting on the ground. I had told him about the constellations before all this stuff had happened. He said he wanted to learn more so why not now. He sat down soon after and looked to me than the sky

“That one is Virgo” I pointed

“What’s the story behind that?” Armin asked looking intently at where I was pointing

“Demeter, the goddess of fertility and harvest, her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped by Hades and she had eaten pomegranate while kidnapped and now she has to spend 4 months of the year with Hades. Those four months are winter when the Demeter stops all growth to wait for her daughter” I explained to him. Tearing my eyes from the star formation assuming Armin would have a question. He was already staring at me. I couldn't tell if I had done something wrong so I got embarrassed so I looked at the flowers starting to bloom. Dandelions

“Did I...do something wrong?” I asked while picking at the grass. A warm hand clasped over mine. I looked up to see Armin looking at me with a gaze I didn't recognize.

“What?” I asked

“Have I ever told you I love you?” he said

“Yes, but I have ever told that I hate heavy doors,” I said confidently Armin looked confused and dejected

“Oh..ok….” Armin said as he went stand up, and just like that I ruined the mood, suddenly I felt a tug at the back of my shirt, then I was engulfed in water. As I surfaced I saw Armin laughing. The water was no deeper than 10 feet.

“So do you like gravity,” he asked with a smirk, I moved closer to the edge of the water and grabbed his ankle, pulling him in the freezing water. 

"How dare you," Armin said once he recovered from the shock.

"Oops my bad, you know how gravity is," I said swimming, well more like paddling past him. I got to the edge and pulled myself up to sit where my legs were still in the water. Armin was now floating in front of me with a soft smile, he slowly made his way to sit next to me.

"I'm going to marry you one day," I said suddenly causing Armin to whip his head around to look at me, eyes big, face still dripping with water

"What?" He asked quietly

"Should I get back to talking about doors?" I said, trying to avoid any awkwardness.

"No! No please don't," he said with a light-hearted laugh

"I-we should get married. We can get married at the ocean. Once we defeat the titans, of course, Eren can be the-"

"Armin, calm down we're only 15, we can think about the details later," I said laughing at his eagerness. 

"We should probably head back, get changed so we don't die of hypothermia," I said standing and giving one last look at the pond before turning away. As I started to walk I felt a hand slip into mine. The walk back was quiet, a comfortable quiet.

"No Armin are you crazy. This- this plan is stupid I-it's not going to work" I said desperately trying to persuade him away from the idea

"It's not up for debate. I have to do this" Armin said with a sorrowful look in his eyes. He knew he would die, you knew it, but there was nothing anyone could say that would stop him. I could feel myself start to lose control of my emotions. Tears had been pouring out of my eyes for a while now. I'm sure I looked pathetic. 

"But the ocean don't you want to see the ocean. An-and what about us? I-i...you...you're not just going to leave me, are you" was I being selfish? Yeah. Did I care? No. 

"You ca-You can't just leave. Please" I begged as my voice cracked, along with my heart. Arms circled my body, I clutched onto the fabric of his stupid uniform. Knowing this would be the last time I could do that. 

"I'm sorry" he mumbled into my shoulder, slowly pulling away. Tears were now running down his face. In a split second his lips were on mine. A goodbye, classic. He pulled back and managed to give a small melancholy smile 

"Have I ever told you how much I love you?" he asked

"Yes. But have I ever told you I hate heavy doors" I said trying to lighten the mood, as impossible as it seemed. He gave a nearly audible laugh

"See the ocean ok. You have to for me" the last thing he said before he zipped away to Eren

"Shut up Connie. That's NOT how it happened"

"Um pretty sure it is. I SAW it with my own EYES" he said making his hands into circles and placing them in front of his eyes

"Ooh what else happened?" Sasha asked Connie with excitement only she had

"Don't encourage him, Sasha! Nothing happened" I said trying to get the conversation to stop. Apparently, Connie had seen me and Armin when we came back from our little pond trip. And now he was going off on a whole made-up story, granted it was amusing, I would probably add on to this foolish story. If it wasn't for the fact it was about me.

"Uhuh, sure that's what they all say. Oh maybe we should ask Armin" Jean said, just then Armin rounded the corner with Mikasa, the universe must really like me today.

"Or maybe we could tell Mikasa about the kitchen incident" I looked at Jean with a smirk, his face deflated into a look of defeat

"Fine" he mumbled, crossing his arms and pouting.

"Hey Armin, Mikasa" Sasha yelled even though they were only 7 feet away 

Armin smiled and waved before walking over Mikasa following. He sat down next to me and all three of those idiots gave the same devious looks. Armin looked at them and then looked at me with a confused look

"Don't ask me" I shrugged trying to play dumb 

"So Armin" Sasha started

"You and Y/N….last night," Jean said wiggling his eyebrows. Armin's face turned a bright red 

"Wha-what are you talking about," he said nervously 

"Don't try to play dumb I saw you"Connie practically screamed. That was my cue to slam my face into the table

"SHUT UP! YOU ASSHOLES" I yelled face still smashed against the table. As everyone started to laugh I felt a tug on my hand. I moved my face to the side and saw Armin giving me a reassuring smile. Then motioned with eyes. We got up and walked away from the group of teens

"There they go again, to mystery land" Connie had said we turned the corner

"As long as Mystery Land consists of only you and me then I don't see a problem"
