Written and Edited by Jenny D
Chibi Art Commissions by Yamielsun
Betareading and Tweaks by Thrudgelmir2333
The God of the Underworld has resurrected the dead and sent them to Sanctuary in order to attack the one person who stands in the way of conquering the world! 
One of them, however, still managed to get lost along the way. Despite being teleported.
Tumblr media
Specter Aiolos: Greetings, I am Aiolos, the ex-Saint of Sagittarius and now a loyal servant of Hades! I have come back to Sanctuary to take the head of Athena!
Tumblr media
Superman: Athena? Sorry, you got the wrong place. This is the Super Hero Cafe, in Crete. Not sure where the location of Sanctuary is but you could go to Themiscyra and ask Wonder Woman.

Did you see the new official art with Levi holding a mug with Erwin's reflection on it?? It's so amazing that so much time has passed and we still get eruri content like Isayama's revelation that Levi went back to collect Erwin's bones, the image with Erwin in Levi's vision, that image with Levi looking in wonder at snow while Erwin is smiling at him, the flashback during chapter 112 whenLevi says he'll make his promise come true and who knows what recent eruri content i'm missing. I love it!
anonymous asked: 
Did you see the new super shippy official art? (the one with the shiny mugs)
anonymous asked:
so, about the new ‘Levi loves drinking hot beverages! (with (1) man!)’ illustration
YES! I did see! I saw the art when it came out, but I’ve been so tied up with work I didn’t have a chance to reblog.  To be honest, the only thing that surprises me at this stage is that Levi isn’t butt naked!  
Tumblr media
Erwin’s soft expression and Levi’s come to bed eyes are just killing me. Honestly you guys, get a room.  Oh…..wait…

Heyhey, Lost unnie 👋🏽 I was wondering if you have any slowburn Eruri fic recs? Like ones where they don’t want to bang each other at first sight? Maybe even hate each other at first? Takes them like 60 chapters before they have their first kiss? Pure hell kinda torture before we finally get that Eruri content tm shit we all crave? Something of the sort? You’d have my heart forever if you know any ;^)
*cracks knuckles*  
Alrighty Anon, you want 60+ chapters of unrequited slowburn pining?  You’ve come to the right place!  Allow me to present, in ascending order of length and angst….
Cardamom by @lostcauses-noregrets​ - modern AU, almost a drabble really at just 43,027 words, 18 chapters, 17 chapters before they close the distance between them. 
HMS Maria by @lostcauses-noregrets​ - historical AU, 45,177 words, 12 chapters and counting and they’ve only got as far as manly shoulder touches. Ongoing.
Coup de Grace by cherry,  canon AU, 46,246, 11 chapters and Erwin doesn’t get it together until the final chapter. 
Annihilation by @francisthegreat​ -  apocalypse AU, 52,920 words, 11 chapters, 5 chapters until the spark ignites into devastating conflagration. 
Different Stars by @thefangirlingdead​ - modern reincarnation AU, 89,946 words, 17 chapters, 16 chapters before everything falls into place. 
Living Things by @merkase​ and IohannaFacTotum - zombie apocalypse AU, 108,779 words, 18 chapters, chapter 17 is actually called Slow Burn and is prefaced with the following note: “Let the record show that it took them 100,000 words and 17 chapters.” Unfinished.
The Laws of Survival by @pasiphile​, canon universe, slowburn and UST to die for, 120,812 words, 7 chapters, and I honestly can’t remember when the UST becomes RST. 
Pledge by @ellabesmirched​ - college AU, 123,997 words, 15 chapters, 7 chapters before they succumb to the inevitable. 
Mail Order Spy by @35grams​ - alternate AU, 230,172 words, 24 chapters. 
Wild-Type by @merkase​ -  dragon AU, 238,941 words, 42 (!) chapters, 41(!!!) chapters before they seal their courtship. Unfinished.
Dresden by @hedera-helixwriteseruri​  - WW2 historical AU, 334,478 words, 26 chapters. 
Enjoy the pain Anon!

As someone asked me, here is the complete translation of the Dark Erogenous Drama CD by Hitsuzen no Drama (prepare your handkerchief). This one only spans the three years Riki spent in Eos. If you’re looking for the one spanning the entire story, you might be thinking about “Ai no kusabi Tsumakurenai” (which I will translate when I have the time…).

I um... am quiet embarrassed by this, but do you have any priest!eruri fics I could get around to reading at all? A thousand thank you's in advance!
Hey Anon, absolutely no need to feel embarrassed! I’m not a great one for priest kink myself but you’re certainly not alone in having a penchant for priest!eruri fics, there are loads of them on AO3.  As one author’s note says:
In all honesty - I really wouldn’t be in the eruri fandom if I haven’t written at least one priest kink fic. 
Here’s a few you might like to try…
Luxuria by spiderlillium
Purify by anaesthesia
Forgiveness by orphan_account
O Father, Adoro Te Devote by @imawarlock
Send Them Off! by @minxiebutt
In the name by @minxiebutt
Salt by @peach-oniisan
Saved by Cherry
De Dextella Dei by @misayawriting
Cupola by @35grams
…and pretty much anything by baccuroth
The content of these fics varies enormously, so please check the tags as always.  Enjoy! 
PS I remember reading a very funny fic here on tumblr that featured Levi as an insufferably annoying demon failing to get the better of a completely unflappable Erwin.  I can’t remember who wrote it though.  Anyone else know?

The first time that Erwin saw him, they were both children. They were in different schools, and they were both touring the capital building on separate field trips. But they found each other at the water fountain. They both stared. They forgot to drink any water. Neither of them moved until their teachers insisted. And they swapped glances over their shoulders while they were pulled away from each other.
Erwin remembered him and didn’t understand why. He thought that the boy must have lived near him. That wasn’t the case. He couldn’t find him again.
Twelve years later, Erwin was in a concert venue that was so crowded that he sweated through his shirt before the first band finished playing. The liquor that had been poured down the back of his shirt made him feel sticky. He couldn’t get a good breath with so many people around him, but he helped to pass along crowd surfers anyway. He could feel the music in his bones. The shared adrenaline of the room made his entire body throb. The headliner stepped onto the stage, and the crowd pushed forward.
Erwin felt someone pressed harshly into his right side. He lifted his arm to give the person room to move. When he looked down, Levi looked up at him. They stared again. Then, Levi leaned towards him and yelled something. Erwin couldn’t hear him. Before he could lean down, the hardest part of the best song began. The crowd began to part. Levi grabbed Erwin’s bicep so hard that sweat squeezed from the cotton of his shirt. Erwin grabbed a fistful of Levi’s shirt. Someone else wrapped their arms around Levi’s waist and pulled him away. Levi slipped out of his shirt. Erwin dropped it to move after him. The crowd was faster. Erwin watched while Levi was picked up and put on top of the crowd. Levi fought. The crowd carried him anyway.
A mosh pit began, and Erwin pushed away from it, keeping his eyes on Levi. The music increased to an impossible volume. He watched Levi float on top of the crowd around the mosh pit. When he saw Levi fall down into the crowd on the other side of the pit, he forced his way past three layers of people. He moved into the pit. A man threw a fist at him, and Erwin put his boot into the man’s ankle. No one took another shot at him while he moved through the pit. On the other side of the parted crowd, Erwin searched for him. He was gone.
After the concert, Erwin insisted that his group of friends wait with him outside of the venue. They stayed with him for an hour before they ditched him to go to the bar. He smoked half of a pack of cigarettes waiting for Levi to find him. Levi didn’t come. When there were only a few sparse groups of people left outside of the building, Erwin felt a pain in his right arm. He put the cigarette between his lips to hold it while he lifted his right sleeve. Levi had left fingerprint bruises and shallow, bloody scratches on his skin. Erwin exhaled smoke.
That night, at home, he took off his shirt and looked at the marks in the mirror. He searched for Levi online until the sun came up. He couldn’t remember everything. But he could remember the nights Levi would come to his room. He remembered the desk in his office. The lingering scent of black tea. He remembered the way Levi’s hair looked when it was stuck to his forehead with sweat. He knew the way Levi tasted. And that was enough to keep him hopeful for a year. Then, he stopped looking.
Three years later, Erwin leaned over and snorted the line of coke on the bar. When he stood upright, the bottle of Rush was pushed under his nose. He closed his eyes, pressed his other nostril shut, and inhaled until he felt himself stop thinking. The flood of heat in his face made him smile, and he leaned back in his chair. Erwin grabbed his boyfriend by the hair and shoved his tongue into his mouth. His hips bucked involuntarily, and they were laughing when their mouths parted. His boyfriend leaned over the bar. Erwin saw Levi on the other side of the room.
Levi’s mouth was pressed against another man’s, and both of his hands were pulling on the man’s belt buckle. Erwin stood from his chair, and his boyfriend caught him just before he fell. He heard laughter, and he felt himself being moved. He pushed. The man kissed down Levi’s neck. Levi leaned his head back and opened his eyes. Levi’s lips parted. His hips moved. Erwin tried to be seen. He needed Levi to see him. He opened his mouth and no sound came. He felt himself being picked up. He felt drool running down his chin.
Erwin watched the ceiling pass by while he was carried out of the bar. Outside, he waited for Levi to find him while he counted stars. Then, he was being pushed into a cab.
The next night, Erwin went back to the bar and asked the bartender about Levi. No one had ever seen him before. Erwin went to the bar every night, with and without his boyfriend. His boyfriend hated it. Erwin ended the relationship. He kept looking.
For three more months, Erwin went to the bar every night. Levi never showed. He stopped looking again.
A year later, he finished his Master’s degree. He met his future wife.
Four years later, he had a wife and a son and a daughter. They had his eyes and her hair. He was working on his doctorate, and he had a small office in the University. His days were routine and scheduled. He loved helping to bathe the kids and put them to bed. He felt an ache in his chest with every goodnight kiss. His favorite part of the day was having a glass of wine with his wife after the babies were in bed. Her laugh made him smile. Her head on his chest made it easy to sleep.
One evening, Levi’s mugshot was on the news. Erwin almost knocked his wine glass over  when he grabbed the remote to increase the volume. She complained that he would wake the kids. He memorized Levi’s legal name.
“Do you know that guy, Ellis?” she asked. Erwin shook his head.
“No,” he said. He turned the volume down again. “I thought I did.”
“You don’t know anyone like that,” she said. He smiled at her.
“Like what?”
“I hope you don’t know anyone who’s dumb enough to try and rob a bank,” she said. He kept smiling, but he felt the resentment take root. He wanted to start a fight with her. He wanted her to regret the words. And he hated it. He resisted it. He tried to force himself to forget. He changed the subject. They watched her favorite movie. He rubbed her feet. He took her to bed and kept her awake all night. She spent twenty minutes combing the knots from her hair the next morning. The makeup that he wouldn’t give her time to remove was smudged all over their wet sheets.
Erwin sat on the edge of the bed, listening to the water running while she showered. He thought about Levi while he rested his head in his hands.
His routine helped to distract him. Erwin didn’t deviate from his normal schedule. That’s how he was able to resist for so long.
In December, Erwin couldn’t stop himself. He looked up the address of the penitentiary. He researched how he should address the letter. He read all of the rules about things that might stop Levi from receiving mail. Erwin put pen to paper. Over and over again.
Hello
Dear
My name
I’ve seen you so many times
Do you believe
I think I know you
I have to try
Erwin threw all of the crumpled pieces of paper in the garbage. He pulled out a single index card and wrote on the lined side.
Is your name Levi Ackerman?
-Erwin Smith
He sealed the index card in the envelope and sent it out with the mail that day.
Two days later, Erwin flipped through his mail at work. He ripped open the envelope as soon as he saw it. The same index card that he had used had been sent back to him. A response was written under his own words.
I can get visitors on Sundays from 13:00 to 17:00.
-Levi
Erwin pulled a sheet of notebook paper from his desk. He put his pen to the paper and stared at the response. Levi’s handwriting was just the same. It was beautiful. Erwin looked away from the index card, and the pictures in frames on his desk caught his eye. He stared at his wife’s image. The pictures of his children stung. They had his eyes and her hair. His jaw went slack. His heart broke painfully. He imagined going to the prison to see Levi. He imagined living with his wife until his children were older. Levi could get out of prison in fifteen years with good behavior. He imagined the entire betrayal. The divorce papers. His mouth felt dry, and his eyes felt wet. Erwin closed his mouth and swallowed. He blinked until he could see clearly.
I can’t
Levi, I tried to find you but
I’m marri
I want
I have two
I didn’t think you were real
I want to murder every man who has ever seen you orgasm
I’m so sorry
I can’t wait
Why did
I shouldn’t have written
Erwin looked at the sheet of paper with broken words. His eyes turned to the index card.
I’ll see you on Sunday.
- Erwin

His chest is aching when he wakes up, in the morning, or the middle of the night. Levi reaches for the glass of water on his nightstand, gulps it down quickly to alleviate the pain and dryness in his throat. It never takes long before he starts coughing. It was clear at first, now it’s bloody, every time.
He tried hiding it, didn’t tell anyone because surely humanity’s strongest would be fine. Levi has to be fine, has a job to do, a duty to fulfill.
But he can’t.
No one knows what it could be, maybe it’s just the fate of being the monster he is, Levi thinks. But deep down inside, he knows.
It’s killing him, the broken bond. His liege, his love.
Erwin’s death is killing him too, has killed his mind long ago, now it’s his body’s turn.
Soon, soon he’ll join him.

ANSWERでリヴァイの主はエルヴィンって作者が公言してたわ 信者おめでとう 宗派違いご愁傷さま “In the ‘ANSWER’ fanbook, Isayama confirmed that Erwin is Levi’s ‘master’. Congratulations to those who already believed that. My condolences to the deniers.”
なるほどな…確かにアッカーマンは皆主に惚れているな ならリヴァイの願望ってのも、やっぱりエルヴィンが隣にいてこそのものだったかもな 今はウーリに先立たれたケニーの気持ちってやつか…
“I see, it is true that Ackermans are all enamored with their ‘liege’. Then Levi’s wish really was just to be by Erwin’s side. Just like Kenny’s feelings as he stood by Uri.”
—-
The fanbook ‘Answers’ was released today (http://kc.kodansha.co.jp/product?isbn=9784063930429), and inside, Isayama confirms the Ackermans all have one special person, a ‘master’, and that Levi’s special person is Erwin.
Just as I was thinking that I need to find some scans so I can confirm it before sharing this information, @b00kcake and @fifisheree sent me some. Thank you to both of you!
Tumblr media
PART 2      Levi and Erwin, and all the changes that occurred
—–That’s new information! It’s true that for Mikasa there is Eren, and for Kenny there was Uri. They both have a ‘master-like’ presence in their lives.
Isayama: For Levi, that person is Erwin. He has acknowledged Erwin as an existence who he looks up to. It’s part of the Ackerman bloodline, or an instinctive part of them, you could say.
—I see… Levi maintaining his surroundings and distance, and the way he avoids facing those who wander in, it’s all because of the huge power he possesses?
Isayama: He may have been scared of building deep relationships. Since he is living in a world where he doesn’t know when he’ll be eaten by a titan, he avoided having people he considered as family.
—–
(There are some other pages from the new fanbook that I’ll translate soon as well!)
The Ackerman parallels have been confirmed from Isayama himself, and he even calls an Ackerman’s special person their ‘Liege’. 
Okay, I think we can celebrate now

SnK Character Directory: Isayama Hajime Interview (Part 2)
Translation: @suniuz​ & @fuku-shuu Please link back and/or credit if any portions of this translation are used!
Index: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3
The Death of Erwin, Who Lived for His Dream
After losing his friend within an equal relationship, Levi will…?
- Erwin losing his life at the Battle at Shiganshina - that was quite a shocking development. Isayama: To have Erwin perish during that point was pre-planned. I always wanted to portray Levi and Erwin as having an equal relationship. Erwin bears an innocent motivation to “seek the truth” and a need for atonement, since his actions had led to his father’s death. He joined the Survey Corps due to these two reasons. Then little by little, he ended up in the position of leading this group, while he himself wavered between the roles of “a child who chased his dream” and “an adult who carried responsibilities.” In order to affirm his self-identity, he fabricated the false ambition of fighting “For humanity’s future,” and he continued to fool himself.
- A man viewed as someone who “abandoned his humanity” actually never abandoned his own dream and purpose for living. It’s truly astonishing. Isayama: This is the same for Levi. The reason Levi always operates alongside Erwin is because he interpreted Erwin’s “For Humanity’s Future” as an altruistic intention that Levi never considered himself, so Levi ends up adopting it as his own life’s mission. Hence, Levi also requested for Erwin to become a man who is “loyal to the mission” and “can make composed decisions.” When he discovers that Erwin actually has a selfish goal like his “dream,” it can be said that he felt betrayed. However, he also recognizes that this person whom he cannot hope to surpass actually has “an innocent, childlike side that chases dreams.”

SNK Smartpass: Erwin Smith and Sasha Braus - A Scene While Taking Shelter from Rain Reprise
Tumblr media
[translation: @yusenki | editing: twitter@braunsofsteel ]
Disclaimer: Please do not re-post the translation elsewhere without permission.
Note: This story was published on December 27, 2016 (x).
Raindrops fall from the sky and spin short tales. Today as well, there is a new tale made by the rain, about a small bond formed somewhere below the sky. After the revolution within the wall, Trost district became the front line for humanity’s counterattack. Today, cold rain has been falling since early afternoon.
Erwin, accompanied by his horse, is sheltering from the cold rain drops on a backstreet, under the eaves of an empty house. His body, exhausted by daily hard work, bears the cold…old as he is, he sighs.
“Huh? Commander, do you take shelter from the rain in such a place?”
The owner of the familiar voice appears from the alleyway beside him.
She is a soldier from the Survey Corps, under Levi’s squad, who helped carry through the revolution…her name is for sure, Sasha Braus.
