120-Day Fanfiction List (M)

A collection of my recommended Eren/Mikasa fanfictions for the first one-hundred and twenty days of the year.

Warning: The contents contain adult themes.

Rating: Mature

A Prompt for a Romp by Timid Mew

A bunch of short stories compressed together in one big pile. All of which are EreMika and AruAni.

Across Realities by BladeOfRain

Eren stands on Paradis Island as its saviour. Yet he could not help but question if the sacrifices he had made were worth it. They were free, but his demons still haunted him. He was ready to let go, but a second chance sparked hope inside him, hope that he had not felt for a long time. In this new reality, he strives to protect those he had lost and protect the future of Paradis.

After It's All Done by somecatastrophe

In another life, there was no one waiting on the other side of the sea. Thus Eren Jaeger and Mikasa Ackerman get to live the peaceful and domestic life they always wanted.

Came Out Swinging by fevversinherhair

Nine months ago, Eren Jaeger and Mikasa Ackerman fought for the first time. Eren pursues his MMA career, Mikasa goes off to college. When his first big amateur match brings them back together, old memories and new feelings muddle the issue.

Encounters by rainycliff213

Mikasa had not expected to find a creature like him, supposedly extinct for millennia, wandering in the same woods as her. The monsters had for centuries terrorized humanity, and it seemed she was the next victim.

Yet, after her escape, it seemed that neither the princess nor the monster could shake their encounter.

fide et amor by hellsiren @zoldyckvevo

drabbles. Eren, Mikasa, and a different kind of love.

Four Years by Kaekiro @kaekiro

A collection of drabbles that center around Eren and Mikasa's life after running away together.

Hearts afire by Sharinganblossoms

Collection of eremika snippets exploring the spectrum from canonverse to AU.

In another life by Sharinganblossoms

In a world without walls and burden and dreadful fate their paths collide once again.

Matrimony by waddlestreet

A marriage of convenience between Azumabito Princess, Mikasa Ackerman and General of Eldian army, Eren Jaeger.

My Mind Turns Your Life Into Folklore by ygrittewildthing @ackermanstyle

Historia Reiss could not have approached Mikasa Ackerman with the idea of joining a band at a better time. After a falling out with Armin Arlert and Eren Jaeger, Mikasa decides to take her up on her offer joining alongside Ymir Langnar (bassist), Sasha Blouse (drummer), and Annie Leonhart (guitarist). With their new keyboard player and lyricist, they set off on a journey that takes them away from their hometown. After winning the battle of the bands, they scored a record deal. As they set out to record their first album, their past begins to catch up to them.

my most beloved by misswongs

Within the false reality he's created, in a cabin that encompasses all of the selfish desires he'll never have, Eren makes sure Mikasa is happy. She’s here, and for a quiet, fleeting eternity, she’s his.

Mysterium by dialectus @dialectus

She sees him change, he sees her grow. After discovering a piece of the world to call their own, two troubled souls find solace in each other

Never again by iliankasmoulinka91 @ili-akkaman

On the verge of death, they both regret what could have been but was never. But there is always an afterlife.

Oath by StormyInk

She didn't want to leave Eren but her past had caught up with her and she refused to let those shadowy fingers reach him, refusing to keep putting him in danger, even if it meant tearing herself out of his life. "Are you coming?" Levi asked her & she looked away from the boy who'd saved her life all those years ago. It was time to keep the oath she'd made. "Yes. I am."

On a Beautiful Mountainside, I Love You by sentimentalblue @isayamasideblog

How easy it was to run. Runaways. That’s what they are.

Sight Beyond Sight by Timid Mew

Mikasa ponders over the loss of her sight, making her feel isolated and detached. Eren, however, quickly shows her that even though she's lost the use of her eyes, she still has him.

Somewhere Impossible and Lovely by rainycliff213

Could they escape it all, if they ran away? Would a life in peace be worth it?

Stress Relief by Pepin-Bones

Soldiers lead stressful lives, which means they need ways to unwind and cope with the stress of what they see and what they do - sometimes in unconventional ways. But Eren thinks it's ridiculous, or at least he did...

Teenagers by theothardus

In a world of no Titans, they would be normal, and normal teenagers might snuggle up, and Mikasa might be the one to make the first move.

The Journey by adieemus

Running away to the edge of the world with her lover, makes a soldier wonder how to get back living in her own body, after holding another in her arms for one night.

The Life I Wished For You by Timid Mew

Eren never expected to find a woman tucked away in the dark depths of a deep cave when finding shelter from the rain. He also never expected her to be a mythical creature only depicted in books.

the way home by bacondestiny @@inbothourhandsgloria

Eren crosses the ocean on the backs of his Colossals.

They can swim; he cannot. This body is too huge, too dense. He has arms but they’re useless. He has legs but they drag after him. He scuttles along the ground on his hundreds of protruding ribs. He feels them puncture the soil, the sand. Rocks scrape against the exposed bone, and when he stands on the blisteringly hot exposed muscle of his Titans, the water steaming up around, it would be enough to char if it weren’t for his healing. He’s kept on the brink of burning, unable to let the heat kill his nerves.

It hurts.

But it only lasts a few hours.

And while the steam still burns, while the pressure on the points of his ribs is odd and painful, now, it is time for others to hurt —

—“Mikasa,” Eren says, shaking her awake. “Mikasa, wake up.”

this love we share by MintToy @minttoy

She loves him and he loves her back. On the surface, it seems easy, but she knows in some dark crevice of her mind, that even though love is selfish – escaping to these mountains was selfish – it is also good.

Her source of strength. The root of his humanity.

Time will come when it will teach her to grow, too.

Through Thick and Thin by Moonstars (Flamingo27)

Eren is a university student with a bright future ahead in the field of medicine, very much like his father. At the same time, Mikasa is a student in the same university, specifically in the nursing school. Just like the green-eyed boy, she is very much considered a genius in her department. When the two met, they fell in love and it was widely known in the university for both of the students had a promising future in their respective fields.

However, a sudden revelation had shattered both of their future plans: Mikasa’s unexpected pregnancy.

Till Death Do Us Apart by misswongs

Through the confined expansions of the wood that it's made of, through the grass, the trees, the birds soaring in the skies, they feel each other. They exist for one another, holding on to whatever is left of their fragmented bodies and withered souls—for everyone will be bone and ashes soon but they're still here, still flesh and blood, still alive.

Still alive.

And for now, just for now, it's enough.

we'll never be those kids again (but we can try) by rilakkuma5 @uhhstar

She had hoped this would happen differently. In an ideal world, it would have. They’d have been blushing and fumbling. Awkward laughter. Unsure hands. Soft kisses. All of it. In an ideal world, this would have played out like her fantasies—tender and loving.

But the world is ending. For the umpteenth time. She’s lost count.

What Ifs by qeen124

"I love you, Eren."

She gasped as soon as the words came out of her mouth. There was a sense of relief, followed by a wave of panic. She kept her eyes fixed on the ground. Suddenly, she saw his shoes step closer to hers, and felt his fingers lift her chin up, allowing her dark eyes to settle into his.

He didn't speak a word but what he did next was more than enough as a response.

Your one and only Dark Knight by kuchenackerman @kuchenackerman

In the daytime I’m Eren. Just a normal boy with a normal boring life. But there’s something about me that no one knows yet. Emphasis on yet. ‘Cause I have a secret. No, but seriously, can I at least tell her? It's so unfair...

120-Day Fanfiction List (E)

A collection of my recommended Eren/Mikasa fanfictions for the first one-hundred and twenty days of the year.

Warning: The contents contain graphic/explicit adult themes.

Rating: Explicit

and hast thou not betrayed me? by artsycat

“Are you ready to kill Eren?” Annie had said, and maybe she wasn’t then, and maybe she isn’t now. But, Mikasa thinks almost savagely, she can make him hurt, and in that at least she can avenge the poor souls whose only crime was being alive in this godforsaken world.

“Crying might not do anything for them,” Mikasa manages to say beneath the tears and snot running down her face. She tries to glare ferociously at him. “But killing you might.”

Bad habits by waddlestreet

Something this wrong shouldn't feel this good.

Elysian by Blanca21

A maddening transition it became, but there was no stopping it. Both of them were beyond pleased to cease. And Mikasa didn’t want to let it go.

Empty Feeling by SaltywithSarcasm

Ever since they found out about their enemies across the sea, he’s become someone else entirely, an empty shell of the boy she once knew but...she still loves him.

Stay by mikasa_aa

I don’t know what he must have thought when he opened the door that night and saw me standing there, carrying two suitcases.

“Don’t worry,” I said. “I’m not moving in. Shall we go to supper?

The Misfortunes of Timing by PearLynn

Eren just needs to relax. Unfortunately, the timing of these certain stress-relieving activities cause some questions to rise within the cabin.

This by iRememberTheDark @irememberthedark

With the awareness of the future he has, Eren knows that what they have won't last forever. When his actions cause him to lose her for a final time, only then will he allow himself to remember when they had this.

a house, built out of stone

pairing: eren x mikasa, shingeki no kyojin

rating: t 

a/n: here’s my (late) entry for @eremikaweeks day 4: anniversary. i’m still crying over em and the manga ending so pls enjoy some angsty eremika, thx

summary:  … with a painful trick of her memory, she hears his voice saying, “… forget me, Mikasa.” She remembers the countless times he’s said it, with sorrow, with grief, with jealousy, but always, always with love.

ao3

“Cause, I built a home

For you

For me

Until it disappeared

From me

From you

And now, it’s time to leave and turn to dust”

– To build a home, Cinematic Orchestra

 It’s in the little things that she does. Waking up to the sun streaming on her face, on sheets that are white with little pink painted flowers… alone. It’s in the space that she walks from her bed to the kitchen, in their her little stone house, with the pots and pans that can serve two. 

Every step feels out of place, incongruent, out of touch with the reality she was so sure of, moments before when she was nestled in her dreams. Her fingers trace the walls of stone, the little strips of concrete that hold it together as she remembers the days she spent building it. 

(they’d spent days building their haven, their escape from reality. They’d argued and bantered, made love on the floor of a house that didn’t have a roof.)

Someone just brought up how it’s literally impossible for Bob to be alive in Tartarus and it’s a huge plot hole😭😭😭😭😭 Rick really doing anything for a check LMFAOOOO NOOOO😩😩

[voidetheria]

Am I the only one not excited for this Will and Nico book??😭 I really want to be but noticing Rick’s mischaracterization for his major characters throughout the years just makes me really hope he finally leaves them alone. I mean there was already a decline with this characterization/writing in HOO. (Ex. Percy and Annabeth’s trauma being glossed over like nothing happened, the ridiculous let down that BOO was, failure to establish powerful relationships between all the characters unlike in PJO, etc.) And I feel like it just got progressively worse after HOO. Don’t even get me started on Demigods and Nachos and Trials of Apollo.

Overall I think Rick is great writer but he’s somewhat lost his touch with the original characters. And that’s okay! I think it’s always awesome when he focuses on new characters and he can create new ideas and not be restricted by the characterization he’s forgotten about in the past. So I’m all for Rick’s writing but please leave the OG’s alone😭

Also apparently they’re going back to Tartarus to rescue Bob????? So that was another fake out death just like Leo??? Literally ruins all the emotions after his sacrifice in HOH??? Mannnnn put the pen down😭😭

PJO Fandom: “Annabeth fears vulnerability and sees it as a sign of weakness”

Canon Annabeth: *bursts into tears multiple times a book*

[voidetheria]

I’m sorry but writing how Annabeth is this “trauma character who fails to understand emotions and is ridiculously flawed compared to her sweet, kind, and compassionate bf who swooped in to save her” is not only false but insanely insulting to her character.

skfjfjfkjkl i absolutely love when individuals in a relationship contrast in ways that produce harmony in their relationship if they figured out how to be together… take percy and annabeth for example. i could go into all the ways they fit each other using mbti analysis but that’s a bit inaccessible so just in general….. their strengths, shortcomings, and desires complement so well! annabeth has quite a visceral fear of abandonment and has developed a stubborn defense mechanism as a traumatic response to that, so she’s deathly afraid of being vulnerable and equally clueless as to what to do when people are vulnerable with her because she’s never had the opportunity to learn how to deal with that before, but here comes along someone who is just so unconditional and wholehearted and kind that he doesn’t think twice to accept her and be with her for who she is and make space for her frustrations and her flaws and never utters a word of complaint or discontentment or irritation and is just so good and so open that even she is driven to change. like, he’s exactly the kind of person annabeth needs in her life to serve as a catalyst for her emotional growth, and i wish this side of their dynamic were explored more. she loves him because he makes her better. she fell for him because he makes her better. she loves him because being with him has allowed her to glimpse a life after healing, towards healing, a relationship that lasts, and she scarcely let herself entertain the potential of it because it’s so new and big and, worst of all, something that is terrifyingly possible. she kept resisting it because she’s used to taking risks everywhere else but in her relationships with people and has no idea how to navigate these new feelings. he was a constant in her life and she’s never had a constant before.

and then there’s percy, who is rough around the edges but soft and steady at the core and meets people where they are and cares so much… meeting someone who has learned to put her defenses up as a default mode and who hasn’t known much love or affection and it shows—in the way she holds herself, higher than she feels, full of emotion that she doesn’t understand and doesn’t know what to do with, someone who has only known impermanence and escape. he doesn’t need to understand all of it to accept her anyway. it’s harder to see how annabeth impacts percy but it’s not every day you see someone who reflects in their composure the burden of having to grow up too fast and fall in love with that strength. it’s the platitude of “falling in love because not despite of people’s flaws” transformed into something real and palpable because it’s happening before your eyes. it’s just like percy to experience first love like that lol… honestly only someone like he can have the capacity for it. like i said, they complement each other through their contrasting points.

[voidetheria]

We will finally progress as a society when y’all stop making Annabeth out to be this emotionally crippled person who needed to be saved by someone else

[voidetheria]

Nauurrrr cause I could really write pages of his dick moments likeee.

-remember when he got soooo mad at Piper for just saying her dream and glared her down

-HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH CARTER KANE!!! YALL REMEMBER THEIR BEEF??? yeah he instigated that idc idc (the way Carter apologized and Percy literally jumped him😭) ((and then made him pay for their dinner….I can’t with him))

-he fucking hated Leo no one can tell me otherwise LMFAOOO

-he was a dick to Jason especially in the beginning

-didn’t he physically drag someone in SoN?? PLSS

-when he choked Nico (this was arguably justifiable but still)

-the wonderbread moment yo….

-I know he has a lot of sarcasm moments and snarky lines but I’m sorry if I was hearing the way he spoke irl, yeah it def gets to a point where he can just be so RUDE LMFAO💀

-HE CANT GO A CHAPTER WITHOUT INSULTING SOMEONE OR SOMETHING IN PJO IDC IF ITS COMEDY😭

-man there’s so many moments that I can’t even make a whole tumblr post about it

Percy is vv sweet and vv bitchy and angry thank you for coming to my Ted talk

When are we finally going to be ready to admit that Percy can be such an asshole

[voidetheria]

When are we finally going to be ready to admit that Percy can be such an asshole

[voidetheria]

Tell me you didn’t read PJO and HOO without telling me you didn’t read PJO and HOO

Annabeth stans are like "well characters are allowed to have flaws >:(" — like yes, characters having flaws is great, but if they're written as flaws. If the so called flaws are never so much as acknowledged as flaws within the narrative, maybe that's not the Deep Nuanced writing you all act like it is. "She's like that because of her trauma!!!1!" Maybe, but if a character treats people like shit because of her trauma and then never recovers from said trauma, that's not satisfactory writing.

The issue is not Annabeth having flaws or being traumatized or using unhealthy coping mechanisms or whatever. The issue is said behaviours being written as inherent to her character and not even being shown as flaws or trauma response, and her never developing to heal from her trauma or overcome her flaws. Rick never tried to make Annabeth get her shit together and become a better person because fans love her as she is and it gets him money.

[voidetheria]

And Then There Was Us

*BOO SPOILERS*

My interpretation about what happens right after Gaea is destroyed. Enjoy!

“Anyone can slay a dragon …but try waking up every morning and loving the world all over again. That’s what takes a real hero.” ~Brian Andreas

 ~~~

As Percy slays the last dragon, the sky lights up in a burst of gold.

He can feel the heat on his skin, and the power from the blast makes him stumble a few feet backwards.  The Earth makes a feeble attempt to grasp him again, and for an awful moment Percy feels his boots sticking to the mud in the ground.  But by the time he can register what’s actually going on, the Earth has settled and he blinks back the bright light that sears his vision to see the carnage around him.

It’s quiet.

For @artemis-rae​ A collection of Percy/Annabeth set in canon universe. welcome back to the fandom! We missed you! Some of this fics were written in canon universe before the the last books came out, so now it can be also considered au’s. I didn’t included any fic from @greenconverses because I’ve a feeling you have read them all. 

Privacy by books4belle

“Do you know the best thing about living in Cabin 3?” Percy slid his cheek along hers and brought his mouth close to her ear so he could whisper the answer: “Privacy.” Set between Last Olympian and The Lost Hero.

Things We Could Be by @rongasm​

Three times that Annabeth is prematurely called Mrs. Jackson and one time that it’s long overdue.

Where We Go From Here by icy roses

How much of love depends on memory? Percy/Annabeth, post-TLH

Waiting for Tomorrow to Come by whispered touches

“Love is not knowing what you have until it’s gone.” Annabeth takes her time before she speaks, and “I love you” is no different. But she’ll regret her silence. Pre-TLH through SoN. One-shot.

Something Blue by @starksgrace​

It’s five years after the Giant War and Percy has a question.

Rite of Passage by @ignitesthestars​

Annabeth and Percy have dinner with Sally and Paul for the first time after they get together.

After by @ignitesthestars​

It’s like this every time. She can remember thinking, four years ago now, that she didn’t know if it hurt more being with him, or without him. And every time the months and the distance stretches out a little further between them, she convinces herself that they’re definitely better apart. That a scarred heart is better than an open wound with him lodged inside it.

And then they see each other again, and she’s pitched right back into that uncertainty. Three and a half years should be enough to get over a boy, shouldn’t it?

A story of how Annabeth and Percy fell apart, and what it took to piece them back together.

Stained by @ignitesthestars​

Annabeth has never baked cookies before. Percy decides to rectify this.

The Perils of Being Alone by @ignitesthestars​ 

Set in some indeterminable post-Heroes of Olympus time. Annabeth and Percy realise that, for the first time in a very long time, they’re actually alone. With no chance of being interrupted. Banging ensues. (Explicit)

Table, Interrupting by Burst-ofSILENCE

Like many other things, it’s Percy and Annabeth’s fault why the Hedge hologram on Buford keeps yelling “PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!” Or: a continuing saga on how Percy and Annabeth can’t make out in peace. Percy/Annabeth

Witnesses by AnnabethLuna

Percy and Annabeth probably thought they were being subtle, but everyone knew about them even before they did. These are their “moments” from the perspectives of the people who just happened to be watching. Viewpoints include Beckendorf, Silena, Malcolm, Michael, Rachel, and more.

A Kiss for Luck by @suchastart​

It’s all you can think about this summer: kissing Percy Jackson. Which is a total waste of energy, because there is entirely too much for you to think about. Kronos. The Titans. Mount Olympus. And while you’re trying to focus on all these other, more important things—like not dying—Percy Jackson walks around with his stupid, clueless face.

can’t you feel my heartbeat by @seaweedbraens​

trusting is hard for demigods, and to love is even harder. percy and annabeth don’t have it easy. [bits and pieces from all the books :: percy/annabeth]

Tattoo by ricecookerwritings

She had disliked the tattoo from the start. It ignites their first argument since the reunion, but the patching up opens her eyes to new things. Set during the first day of MoA, all the culture clash, misunderstandings and comfort fluff I personally missed in the book. Bonus dash of Hazel/Annabeth friendship. One-shot.

All These Versions by conniehdez

They were together. They were alive. They were happy (ignoring the angry horde of Romans). Isn’t that what they were in all her scenarios? Together, alive, happy? Annabeth’s wasted plans to say “I love you”. 

Everything by conniehdez

This is better. This – lying down on Percy’s bunk in Cabin 3 on a lazy summer afternoon, him hovering over her as though scared she might break, kissing to their heart’s content – is so much better. This is everything. Pre-TLH, Percabeth.

may the bridges i have burned light my way back home by @lesbabeths​

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

par for the course by @lesbabeths​

She kind of wishes she could look away, but there’s nowhere else to look, because there’s an the elderly lady in the aisle next to them looking for soap who keeps scoffing at them and shooting them scandalized looks, and she’s also fairly certain that if she spares a glance at Percy, she’ll spontaneously combust from mortification and all that will be left of her is a sizzling pile of ashes on the floor.

Sight of the Sun by @psychohannahlyze

All things considered, Annabeth figured she did an okay job as a young mother.

Annabeth Wins a Bet by @bananannabeth

Not for the first time in her life, Annabeth wondered if she was the butt of some cosmic joke. She’d barely gotten into her story (which was definitely going to win the bet, come on) when her cousin Magnus interrupted her with some nonsense about Norse gods. Because of course the Chase family wasn’t complicated enough as it was.

Impossible Year by @bananannabeth

Percy and Annabeth lean on each other to recover after Tartarus, but as the rest of their friends slowly settle back into a semblance of normalcy they realise that maybe they’re holding each other back from healing. Scared of being too codependent and hurting in ways she doesn’t want Percy to see, Annabeth makes the painful decision to take a break – a choice which impacts Percy, all of their friends and herself in ways she’d never imagined.

Annabeth Loses Sleep by @bananannabeth

Annabeth was exhausted. She was trying to do way too many things at once, and she barely had time to catch her breath. So when the opportunity to get to sleep while her watch still said PM rather than AM came up, she was so grateful she almost burst into tears. But of course her one night of rest with Percy had to be interrupted by her butt of a cousin.

It’s A Long Way Down by @romanitas

Five times Annabeth and Percy held hands.

Eighteen Years a Hero by @romanitas

It’s Annabeth’s birthday. Everyone celebrates.

Transplant by @romanitas

Percy tags along with Annabeth on a visit to San Francisco. After the war, after Tartarus, interacting with her family is mildly surprising and weirdly grounding.

Provisional Education by @romanitas

Annabeth doesn’t know how to drive. Percy does. It’s not often he’s the one giving lessons.

Flaws by @romanitas

Percy’s always been angry. Tartarus just made it harder to hold back.

Breaking and Entering by @romanitas

Sneaking in and out of Annabeth’s dorm is always an interesting and challenging experience, for all parties involved. Especially with nuns.

And It Scares You Being Alone by @romanitas

Rachel Elizabeth Dare storms into Percy’s life at just the right moment. For him, at least, as he clings to his mortal side, leaving Annabeth alone with her thoughts on the demigod side. And okay, maybe she’s avoiding him, too, but mostly she’s just tired of losing people. Set somewhere vague in that time period between Battle of the Labyrinth and the Last Olympian.

Academics by @romanitas

Learning how to kiss is it’s own kind of homework. Probably best done away from the company of parents.

[voidetheria]

Actual good first-time college student advice:

Wear jeans/pants that “breathe” and bring a sweater, even if it’s scorching hot out, until you know which building blasts the AC to 60 degrees F and which feels like a sauna

Backpacks with thick straps are your friend!  Messenger bags are cool and all but if you’re commuting with a lot of stuff, symmetrically styled backpacks are better for your back

You are your own person and you can walk out whenever you need to or want to, so long as you’re not disrupting the class.  Meaning you can go to the bathroom without permission, take a breather if you’re anxious, answer an important phone call, etc.

If you don’t like the class on the first day, if you can- DROP THAT CLASS AND TAKE ANOTHER ONE!  It’ll only get worse from there!

If you can, take a class outside your major; it’s a good break from your expected studies.

You are in charge of your schedule.  Your adviser and guidance counselor is there to ‘advise and guide’ but if you don’t like certain classes and you can substitute for others, that’s your choice.

Consequently, if you are changing anything drastic in your plan, talk with your adviser and instructors.

Pay attention to your credit hours and grades.  Never leave this to the last week of school, you will be sorry and stressed beyond belief!

Unless it’s a lab book or otherwise specified, go to the class for a week or so before buying an expensive textbook.  Some classes, while having it on their required list, do not actually use the textbook a whole lot and you might find some of it scanned online.  Rent if you can or buy used online (schools actually don’t give discounts).  Use your best judgement on what you think you need.

Tell the people who go up to you selling or advertising things you are not interested in that you are in a rush to class and don’t have time to listen to them.  It’s less rude and they’ll leave you alone.

The smaller the class, the better it is to have some sort of acquaintanceship with a couple classmates.  They might save your ass if you are absent one day or need to study.  And talking with them makes the time go by faster without it being so insufferable.

You don’t need to join a club or sport, but internships are cool and useful!

If you can afford it, take a day off once or twice each semester if you’re too exhausted.  Just be aware of what you missed and if it was worth missing!

Your health is the most important, this goes for mental health too!!  Note: College-age/upper teens is when mental disorders like depression and anxiety are most commonly diagnosed.  Most schools have therapy services, especially during exam time.  Look into it if you need to!

Communicate with your professor if you are having trouble with something.  Anything.

Eat and stay hydrated.  Bring a water bottle and snack to class.

All-nighters will happen but never go over 36 hours without sleep.

It’s going to be hard and there will be times you might think about giving up.  This WILL happen.  You just have to make sure what you’re doing isn’t making you absolutely miserable and/or there is something rewarding and positive to look forward to at the end!

summary:  … with a painful trick of her memory, she hears his voice saying, “… forget me, Mikasa.” She remembers the countless times he’s said it, with sorrow, with grief, with jealousy, but always, always with love.

“Cause, I built a home

For you

For me

Until it disappeared

From me

From you

And now, it’s time to leave and turn to dust”

– To build a home, Cinematic Orchestra

 It’s in the little things that she does. Waking up to the sun streaming on her face, on sheets that are white with little pink painted flowers… alone. It’s in the space that she walks from her bed to the kitchen, in their her little stone house, with the pots and pans that can serve two. 

Every step feels out of place, incongruent, out of touch with the reality she was so sure of, moments before when she was nestled in her dreams. Her fingers trace the walls of stone, the little strips of concrete that hold it together as she remembers the days she spent building it. 

(they’d spent days building their haven, their escape from reality. They’d argued and bantered, made love on the floor of a house that didn’t have a roof.)
