Devilish Romance (Levi Ackerman x OC)
Chapter 1
Devilish Romance Masterlist
Tumblr media
This fanfic will be somewhat following the canon story of the manga/anime. I say “somewhat” because I may change the order of events, characters deaths/lack of deaths, etc to fit what I want to happen to them and how I want my OC to fit into the story.
So please don’t message me saying “that didn’t happen, you’re timing is wrong, etc etc.
Anyway…enjoy and comment!!
Tumblr media
There is only one survey corp group remaining. It consists of the og gang of Levi, Hanji, Mikasa, Jean, Armin, Connie and Sasha. Onyankopon is new to the group after becoming an Eldian ally, and Eren is no where to be found as he left the group.
Needing help against the growing cult of Yeagerists, Onyankopon sets the group on sail to Marley, where they will meet up with a friend of his who can help develop a new weapon to fight against the cult.
"How are we supposed to fit in here? We know close to nothing about this place, even with the rundowns you gave us." Levi scoffs as his anxiety rises while they walk through the crowds of Marleyan citizen in Liberio.
Rolling his eyes, Jean nudges Sasha. "Especially with this idiot around. Almost attacking that food vendor could've gotten us arrested."
"The meat looked so good though! I've never seen anything like it." Sasha drools as she relives the memory.
Onyankopon laughs softly. "Don't worry everyone, we are on our way to see a friend of mine. Lily. She used to be in the Marleyan military with me for a while. After her help with the thunderspear, we can head back.”
Hanji is skeptical. "Is she a Marleyan?"
"Correct." He can see the worry on everyone's faces. "But remember, not every Marleyan agrees with the societal division between them and Eldians."
"Then why was she in the military with them?" Armin asks.
"Our military isn't very volunteer based as yours is. I was forced in after my home country was raided, and she was forced in soley due to the fact she is great at mechanical work and her dad was a leading general who needed her skills." Onyankopon shakes his head. "An evil man he was. But she's sweet as pie. Feisty, but a good heart nonetheless."
Connies gulps with fear. "Was? So he's dead now right?"
"He died during a fight five years ago. In a way, it freed Lily because she was able to leave the military. Now we are about to see her peaceful little farm she created for herself."
Eventually the group makes it to the train station where they are able to get a ride to the next station on the outskirts of Liberio. It's there that they hitch a ride with a taxicab to Lily's farm.
"We're here." Onyankopon says and tips the driver as everyone exits the cab.
As the cab drives away, Onyankopon forms a huddle to go over the plan. “Remember, you all need to act as Marleyan as possible. She won’t turn us in, but it’s best if no outside forces know who you truly are.”
Armin fiddles with his hat. “And if she finds out?”
“We die!” Sasha cries into Mikasa, causing her to shrug her crying friend off.
Onyankopon sighs in worry. “Just…leave the talking to me, Hanji and Levi.”
Connie snorts. “Yeah Sasha, don’t blow our cover, idiot.”
“Oi! That goes for everyone. We are here to get help on some weapons and leave. No making friends, no wondering off, none of you are to be idiots.” Levi scolds as he gives each one of them his famous glare.
“Yes, captain.” They all look down sadly.
Making their way up the pebbled trail to the wooden house, Connie stops and pets a donkey that pokes his head through the wired fence. "Hey, I think he likes me!"
Mikasa gently sticks her hand out to pet the gentle animal too, giving off one of her rare smiles as it leans its head into her hand.
As they get closer to the front door, a raspy bark causes them to turn around and Onyankopon grins.
"Casper! Hey, old boy." A chubby golden retriever shuffles up to his friend, tail wagging delightfully.
Hanji takes note of the leg, well fake leg, on the dog. "Does he have a metal leg?" She asks in disbelief.
Smoothing out the gray fur covering Casper's face, Onyankopon pats his belly. "Casper here got into a scuffle with a coyote on the farm. Poor boy lost his leg, but Lily made him a new one. Right Casper?"
The senior dog pants excitedly as he gets another pat on the belly.
"Onyankopon?"
Everyone turns their head to the left when the soft voice calls out. A small woman with long brown hair and a bright smile hurriedly walks over, the vegetables in her basket nearly falling out.
"What a lovely surprise!" She cheers as she hugs her tall companion.
Onyankopon hugs her back gently. "Sorry I didn't let you know I was coming ahead of time. It’s a bit urgent. I hope you don't mind that I've brought some friends."
The survey crew smiles awkwardly as they feel a bit out of place, but Lily only laughs. "It's no problem. Your friends are my friends as well. Nice to meet you all. I'm Lily."
Everyone smiles and introduces themselves.
Opening the front door, she waves her hand inside. "Everyone in! The ride here isn't an easy one so you all can come in and relax."
While everyone sits in the living room to relax, Onyankopon follows Lily to the kitchen.
“I’m assuming people may be following you?” She mutters while brushing past Onyankopon to grab cups and coffee grounds.
He sighs while pouring water into the kettle. “It’s a possibility. I don’t think we have anyone on our trail right now currently.”
Lily is lighting a fire on the stovetop to start heating the kettle. “Some of the people in your little group look young, no?”
Onyankopon sweats, but quickly composes himself. “You know better than me that the Marleyan military takes them young.”
With a hum, Lily eyes him from the side. “I see…”
The conversation is interrupted when the kettle started screaming that it was done.
Walking back out to the living room, Lily carefully sets the big tray of drinks on the coffee table.
Sasha leans forward to grab a cup. “Oh! This is coffee?”
Lily pauses. “I’m sorry! I didn’t even offer other drinks. Would you like something else?”
Sasha stares with wide eyes, but Hanji takes over the situation. “No, coffee is fine! We just haven’t had it in a while due to it not being a priority supply. We missed drinking coffee.”
Lily nods and takes her own seat with a coffee in hand. “Ah yes. I know the feeling quite well well.” She says while looking over the rim of her mug while taking a sip.
Sasha laughs nervously as Jean gives her a scolding look.
Levi tries to not grimace while drinking his. Coffee is not his cup of tea. Literally.
“You were also in the military right?” Levi asks.
“Yes! I was one of the lead mechanics for the weapons division.”
Levi looks her over. It was interesting someone who looks so neat and delicate can aid in creating war weapons.
“Lily is the best Marley has for mechanics.” Onyankopon grins.
Waving her hand at him, Lily blushes. “I’m flattered. But I retired from that. Now, apparently, I make prosthetics for dogs who like to get into trouble.”
Casper perks up from his spot on the floor and Lily laughs while patting his head.
Onyankopon rubs his head nervously. “I was wondering if you can un-retire? We need some help from you.”
“Onyankopon…” Lily smirks while leaning back in her seat, “You never even told me why you’re here. Give me a sales pitch, but make it good.”
With a final sip of coffee, he clears his throat. “We will be heading to Paradis Island-“
“Paradis Island?” She interrupts, “I thought that was a failed mission? Last I heard, the two titan shifters sent there failed at eradicating the island devils...”
Levi scrunches his nose in distaste at the name, while the others looked at each other in confusion.
Onyankopon told them Lily has no hate for the Eldians, so why was she calling them the name given by those who hate them?
“Along with that failed mission, the ship fleet failed in raiding the island after that. Why try again? It would be best to continue to turn the devils here in Marley into titans, and then send them to the island to get rid of the others naturally.”
Onyankopon could only stare in astonishment. Did she have a change in values? This could ruin their plans completely.
“W-well…that could take up too much time. They’ve already been dealing with titans for a hundred years or so now. We think it would be best to try again to speed everything up.” Hanji explains and reaches into her bag. “I also help in the creation of weapons, and I have this idea for a thunderspear…”
Lily pauses as she watches Hanji hold out a rolled up blueprint. Grabbing it, she gently smoothes it out over her lap to look at the content. A drawing of a cylinder tube takes up the page along with its layout of potential hardware.
Hanji continues, “It’s a missile that can be easily thrown like a grenade. It would be perfect for both short and long distance attacks, and has enough power to spread feet away, ensuring all surrounding areas are taken care of.”
Lily smiles. “I like your way of thinking Hanji. The design is near perfect. I’m assuming you need me to bring it to life.”
Hanji smiles hopefully. “Realistically, is it possible?”
“As long as I’m the one building it…of course. But, I’m not sure I want to get involved with the military again.”
“You won’t need to get involved. No one else knows I came to you for help. As far as they know, we did everything completely on our own.”
Lily looks over the group who look at her with hope in their eyes. She then looks at Onyankopon who’s begging her with his.
“Onyankopon, you remember when my dad punished you for steering the fighter plane into the cargo building? But it was really me who did it because I’m a terrible pilot, but you still took the hit for me?…I still owe you for that. I’ll do it.”
The group sighs in relief.
Night rolls around and Lily shows everyone to the room they’ll be staying in. After making sure everyone is comfortable, she walks outside to the patio and notices someone is already sitting in one of the rocking chairs.
“Oh, I’m sorry, Levi. I didn’t realize you were out here.”
Levi nods his head. “No worries. I just needed some air before bed.”
Lily tucks the front pieces of her dark hair behind her ears and wraps her cardigan closer to her body. “It’s chilly out tonight.” She smiles as she sits in the rocker next to him.
Silence fills the air as they watch the sky. “It’s nice to be able to look at the stars without city lights flooding the sky.”
“You really enjoy peace, don’t you?” Levi mutters.
With a small giggle, Lily sighs. “After a life of military and war, I try to enjoy every second of it.”
He grunts in response, but she couldn’t stop smiling.
“You didn’t like what I had to say earlier, did you, Island Devil?”
Levi freezes as his blood runs cold, and he slowly reaches into his side pocket to grip his knife.
“You know, part of being in the military is having the skill to observe people…in case they can be potential enemies.” She eyes Levi up and down. “Your clothes are so old fashioned in Marley’s standards. I blame Onyankopon for that one. His sense of style has always been terrible and of course he would make you all dress like him.”
With a laugh and shake of her head, she goes on…
“The way you all talk is slightly different as well. You speak with more formality than we do, with a hint of an unknown accent. You all in general just seem from a different time. It makes sense though, the people on Paradis Island are a bit behind the modern day ages.”
Levi’s grey eyes grow darker as he gets ready to pounce. “So what now? You’re going to turn us in?”
Lily stares back, her brown eyes glowing in amusement. She takes in the harsh lines going across Levi’s face as he glares back at her. “Of course not. I was only saying those things to see how you would all react. A part of surving here on Marley is having great hatred to Eldians. I wanted to see if you all would get offended enough to speak up.”
“Tch, well I still don’t trust you. For all we know, you could turn us in and have us executed.”
Lily hums in thought. “And for all I know, you all can be like in the stories and eat me or torture me. I’m sure it’s nothing but devilish games on your island.”
Levi seethes with annoyance. “You know nothing about living on the island.”
Her mouth falling into a flat line, Lily gets up and heads back towards the door. “And you know nothing about living on Marley.”
She turns to look back at him before walking inside. “Good night, Levi.”

Graystripe's Heart (or Hope's Beginning)
The (Short) Return Of Bloodclan and Redemption of ???
Shortly after the rescue of Darkkit, Rogues begin being spotted on the outskirts of the Clans.  Windclan claims someone is stealing prey, Riverclan smells intruders on the borders, and worst of all, Shadowclan has detected Bloodclan scent on the Thunderpath.  So Longstar sends Graystripe (still mourning his mother) and Sandstorm to find out the truth, with Fireheart demanding to come along – the Stars say it’s important!
So the three cats set off to Fireheart’s old Twoleg Den, meeting Smudge and his new mate Hattie.  The two Kittypets tell the Can cats about the return of Bloodclan under a cat named Fury – but also of a pair of cats making a peaceful group, and trying to dismantle Bloodclan as well.  The new unnamed Clowder’s leaders are unknown, save that they’re a scarred tom and a brown molly.
The Kittypets and Clan cats are interrupted by Gremlin and Scraps, siblings from the Unnamed Clowder, warning that Bloodclan Recruiters are chasing the pair of them.  The Clan Cats hide under the edge of the Twoleg den with Gremlin, and a cat named Snake attempts to attack Smudge and Hattie for protecting Scraps.  Hattie slaps the crap out of Snake, but a few more Bloodclan cats appear, and Scraps tries to surrender himself to save the Kittypets (and his hidden sister). But a twisted, gravely snarl sends the Bloodclanners running, and a heavily scarred tom approaches a relieved Scraps.
A highly familiar black striped gray tabby, with a horrid scar on his throat.
--DARKSTRIPE?!?!?--
Graystripe bolts from under the Twoleg den, with Sandstorm and Fireheart nearly riding his frazzled tail.  The former Clan cat goes bushy with startlement as they approach, but Fireheart keeps Graystripe and Sandstorm from tearing him apart.  Scraps, very confused, identifies Darkstripe as the Unnamed Clowder’s tom leader, and Gremlin chirps that he ran off her abusive former mate!  Full of conflicting emotions, Graystripe demands an explanation, and Darkstripe wheezes out, with tears in his eyes…how sorry he is.  But he won’t fight them, he probably deserves what’s coming – and Fireheart cuts him off.  Let’s talk somewhere else, somewhere safer.  Darkstripe nods, and after Fireheart extracts a promise from Sandstorm to not just kill her former Clanmate the second his back is turned, the scarred tomcat leads the Clan Cats and the siblings into the Twoleg Territory.
After some Very Tense Travel, the group comes to an abandoned Twoleg den, the walls covered in strange Twoleg berrypaint art.  Darkstripe leads them to a small opening, guarded by a pair of scraggly but friendly cats.  They greet Darkstripe and the siblings with unashamed friendliness, and the Clan cats are surprised to find themselves greeted with similar cheer.  After introductions are made, Hazard and Snaggle let everyone into the Den.
Inside is a well set-up camp, with obvious dens for nursing parents and kits, elders being cared for by a few younger cats, and a prey pile, with freshkill and a cat dismantling a large bird.  Darkstripe is greeted warmly, and the Clan Cats are experiencing a great deal of emotions.  Sandstorm is still rightfully angry – Darkstripe tried to kill Sorrelkit!  Fireheart is wary but hopeful – maybe Darkstripe has changed?  These cats seem to think highly of him!  And Graystripe?
Graystripe wonders who Darkstripe really is.  Because the cat he sees is NOTHING like the older brother he thought had died at his claws.  The older brother he loved still, somewhere deep inside.
A brown colorpoint molly greets Darkstripe, and introduces herself as Sasha.  The pair sit the Clan cats down in a private alcove and explain what’s happened.  Darkstripe was groomed by Tigerclaw (Darkstripe and Sasha both refusing to add the Star even sarcastically to his name) and was rescued from the battlefield by an injured Sasha, who was looking for Tigerclaw as well.  She had been his secret mate (to which Sandstorm shudders at) and had realized how horrible a cat Tigerclaw truly was only after her injury.  The two of them had healed from their respective injuries – Sasha only stating it was Tigerclaw’s fault – and had tried to go on together.  But there were so many cats that needed help, and with Darkstripe’s Clan knowledge and Sasha’s kind nature, they had formed a Clowder.  Somewhere that they could atone for their sins and make a better future for street cats.  Sandstorm demands to know if that should keep her claws out of Darkstripe’s hide, and Fireheart has to jump on her to stop it, but Graystripe pushes forward.
You’re sorry. Yes, Darkstripe tearily mewls. 
You’re sorry for Sorrel. Yes, he states clearly.
For Bramble and Tawny.  Yes, he sighs.
For Stonefur, for Fireheart.  Yes! Darkstripe sputters.
For mother?  YES!  He yowls!
For ME?!
YES!!! Darkstripe screams, raspy and broken.
And Graystripe LUNGES.
He catches Darkstripe in a tight embrace and sobs.
Mother will be so proud of you in Starclan.  I’m so proud of you.
Sandstorm sputters from under the (teeny tiny itty bitty) weight of Fireheart as the brothers weep into each other’s fur, one more wound of Tigerclaw’ wickedness beginning to heal.
Sasha asks Fireheart and Sandstorm for advice off to the side, as she’s no Healer or Brawler, but some cats have been interested, and would they mind giving advice while they’re here?  Sandstorm startling agrees, with Fireheart patting her on the shoulder cheerily.  The pair head off with Sasha, leaving the brothers some privacy.
By the time Graystripe and Darkstripe have pulled themselves together, it’s dusk, and Sandstorm and Fireheart have been busy.  Fireheart has a group of cats huddled around a Queen and her kits and Gremlin, listing the signs of kit diseases, and Sandstorm is running a group training session, with Scraps actually knocking down a cat larger than him to wild and enthusiastic cheering.  Graystripe joins a group of cats fixing up some nests, lending a paw and some advice, and Darkstripe leans on Sasha, drained but finally whole in some small way.  Fireheart calls the Clowder a hope for the future and a good place to rest, and Gremlin loudly proclaims they should be the Hope Clowder!  The cry is taken up, and the Unnamed Clowder becomes the Hope’s Rest Clowder (Hope Clowder for short).
The Clan Trio stays the night, and the next morning are awoken by Snaggle hollering that Bloodclan is on the move.  Everyone wakes quickly, and the Clowder Cats barricade the entrance, leaving only a peephole.  A group of Bloodclan cats are headed straight for Thunderclan! 
Sandstorm demands that the Clan Cats leave to warn the Clans, but startlingly some Hope Clowder Cats ask Darkstripe and Sasha if they can help take down Bloodclan there as well – they’re weaker spread out in two places, and there are cats that need rescuing from Bloodclan’s clutches!  Fireheart tells Graystripe and Sandstorm to go warn the Clans, and asks if he can help the Clowder rescue the prisoners.  Darkstripe agrees, and Graystripe charges his brother with protecting the cat he once tried to kill.
Sandstorm and Graystripe escort a small group of Hope Clowder Cats to the border of Thunderclan, and Graystripe rushes ahead to warn Longstar ahead of the approaching Bloodclan cats.  Graystripe yowls out his warning to the Camp Guards, who repeat the warning as cats begin scrambling to battle and defense positions.  Longstar asks where Sandstorm and Fireheart are, my guy they BETTER be fine, and Graystripe assures him they are, just as the first Bloodclan cat leaps over the camp wall. 
Chaos ensues, but suddenly Sandstorm and her volunteers charge the Bloodclanners from behind, scattering the Bloodclan Rogues.  Fury is downed by a furious (HA) Flamewish, who bodily throws the molly over the camp wall, with her living followers rushing away.  Sandstorm keeps the Thunderclanners from attacking the Hope Clowder cats, and they view the Clan with awe and curiosity.  Graystripe and Sandstorm tell Longstar and Flamewish what’s going on, with the Hope Clowder cats chiming in.  Flamewish is Very Concerned about Darkstripe, but Hazard, who came with the Hope Battle Patrol, tells her the story of how Darkstripe saved her from an attacking Bloodclan patrol, and nursed her back to health.  This placates Flamewish, but she still worries about her brother…
Meanwhile--
The rescue Patrol comes to the nearly unguarded Bloodclan encampment, a seemingly abandoned Carrionplace with thin woven silvery reeds forming a strong wall.  Scraps leads the rescuers to a hole in the Carrionplace wall, and everyone slides through with relative ease, save one cat losing some long fur.  They approach a small, enclosed area, with a Twoleg-made Dog Den and several Bloodclan cats guarding the area.  Darkstripe leads half of the patrol to attack the guards, while Sasha and Fireheart lead the other half to rescue the prisoners.
It goes relatively smoothly, with the only hiccup being a guard going for the smaller Fireheart.  The guard later regrets this decision, leaving with less ear and more scarred skin that he started with.  The rescue patrol leads the injured cats back to Hope’s Rest, and after treating them, Fireheart finds himself alone with Sasha.  And finds he has to ask her something.  He’s noticed something important and…
What happened to your kits?
Sasha buckles, and begs Fireheart to not tell a soul – only Darkstripe knows about them.  She had three kits by Tigerclaw, and after losing one of them, and leaving the others somewhere safe, she went to find – and perhaps wound – the cat who hurt her so.  Only to find Tigerclaw dead, and another cat near death, with her pain in his eyes.  Fireheart swears to never tell anyone, save under pain of death.  She sighs, and wonders where her little Tadpole went after his death, and Fireheart tells her of the Afterlives that Starclan knows of.  She weeps then, in relief – he’ll be waiting for her.
After making sure all the patients are stable, Snaggle escorts Fireheart to Thunderclan, and after a quick reunion, the Hope’s Rest Clowder cats head home, laden with herbs and cuttings and instructions and a new ally. Bloodclan is scattered, nevermore to gather the same power again, and all is quiet for a time.
(And in Riverclan, a brown and white tom sleeps peacefully next to a golden brown molly, safe and sound)
(And elsewhere, a black and grey tom rests safely)
(ALIVE)

You Just...Left - Reiner x Reader
TW: Hurt with slight comfort, abandonment issues+getting left behind briefly mentioned, breif mention of reader wanting to die
Context: Reader has abandonment issues due to being ditched by a parent during a titan attack (said parent was never seen again) and gets hurt real bad by Reiner and fully expexts to never see him again. The begin of this is a bit of a flashback before going back to current
-
I was nervous. Reiner and I had become quick friends on the second day of being in the scouts training camp and now with it halfway done he wanted to see me after dinner. Speaking of dinner I had tried to make it last as long as possible but I could feel his gaze bore holes into my back the entire time, it also didn't help that Sasha kept asking if I was going to finish what was on my plate. I slid it to her after a while, I had lost my apatite.
I tried to leave the dinning hall as quietly as possible. It's not that I didn't want to hear what he had to say, in fact I actually really like him. He strong, caring to others, pretty funny when the timing is right, and most of all he has a big heart. I had actually hoped maybe he wanted to talk to confess but the odds are extremely low of that happening....I've learned from the past that getting close only hurts in the end.
I made it maybe seven feet from the dinning hall door before someone grabbed my arm and pulled me into the shadows covering my mouth before I could let out a yelp. This is it I'm done for, someone snuck in and I'm the poor soul who's life they chose to extinguish. "Gosh you're shaking like a leaf it's just me (Y/N)?" the voice of the hands said with a low rumbling chuckle while letting me go. I whirl around to face him and playfully smack him on the chest "Reiner! You scared the shit out of me!" I say with a huge grin appearing briefly of my face before looking up at him expectantly. His short choppy hair highlighted by the moonlight, dark shadows across his face with what seemed to be a hint of blush lurking beneath them. Perhaps getting close wouldn't be so bad?
-
That was the night we confessed our feelings for each other and I had my first kiss. The many days that followed after were some of the best in my entire life...until they weren't.
It was a bit after graduation. What was left of our group were on Wall Rose and I was just ahead of Mikasa when she stopped, I could hear Reiner talking and Bertholdt getting a bit frantic so I turned around to head towards my love only to be stopped by her. The next few things that happened were a blur, Mikasa was gone in a flash attacking Reiner and Bertholdt, they both turned into the Colossal and Armored Titan respectively, and then they grabbed Eren and Ymir and ran.
That was the second most worst day of my life. I had told him about my abandonment issues and yet he still left on his own accord! The hurt and anger in my eyes and wails of his name as he ran into the woods...I hope it haunts him. The days that followed I became reckless on missions caring little for my own safety cause then at least if I died the pain would stop.
I didn't think I'd ever see him again and I was perfectly fine with that but because of Eren and his tendencies of course Reiner would show up again. I could tell even in his titan form he was looking for me as I zipped around on my ODM gear. I should've known it was stupid to attempt to go for the nape but I wanted to make him feel some sort of pain that I felt but before I could reach my destination he grabbed me out of the air and then it all went black.
When I came back to I was in a small room looking up at the ceiling, looking around I noticed Reiner sitting in the furthest corner from where I was with his arms crossed and head bent down. I sat up with a grunt which caused him to lift his head to look at me "(Y/N)..." he says softly, his harsh and depressing looking face softening as his eyes laided themselves on me taking in everything that's changed. He stood up and started to approach me but I scurried back falling off the edge of the bed as tears filled my eyes. Looking up over the edge of the bed I saw the soft look he gave me a few moments before change to one of hurt and worry "Stay away from me! You left me behind just leave again!" I shout as I shakily stand and dash for the door.
His arms wrap around me. They were warm, strong, and inviting but I can't...give in, I can't get close only for him to leave me again. He pulls me close to his broad chest with my own pressed against and tears willingly and angrily fall from my eyes as I sob and pound my fists on his chest. I let loose frustration after frustration along the lines of "You coward!" "How could you leave! You knew my fears!" "Why didn't you take me with you!" "Why did you have to come back you could've made it so easy for me to forget!" and after a while of scream sobs and shouting at him I slowed down. Worn out from my meltdown weakly pounding on his chest before my hands fall limp to my sides feeling his now damp shirt against my cheeks and face, he hadn't said a word the entire time "Please...saying something. Anything, just rip my heart out finally. Deal the final blow Reiner." I mange to croak out.
A pause goes by and still nothing, not a peep, but it felt like something was falling on top of my head so I take a chance to look up. He was silently crying and big tears splashed on my face upon impact as he took one hand from around me and cupped my face as I stared at him in shock. "I wanted so desperately to just sweep you off your feet and take you away with me. I know I'm an asshole for leaving you behind, I was scared and a coward and wanted to make it back home alive." he looks away for a second before continuing "Trust me I wanted so badly to come back for you (Y/N) but due to my situation I wasn't allowed to. Anytime we fought that brat I always looked for you but you were never there until now. I'm sorry for what I've put you through but I'd like to make amends for my past failures?" he finishes. Fresh tears fall from my eyes "Reiner...I-I don't know..." I trail off and after a moment of silence I add on "It'd be hard for me to trust that you just won't leave me again."
"Please give me one more chance to prove myself to you (Y/N)?" he practically begs.
I let out a deep sigh and hesitantly nod with my eyes shut "Okay Reiner." I answer.
"Thank you my precious angel." he says as he cups both my cheeks and pulls me into a long awaited kiss.

he’s so ready to confess, he can’t wait to make you his..
that is until his warrior side comes out and he reminds himself that you’re a ‘devil’
prettiest devil he’s ever seen but ok
very conflicted man
“they’re looking as fine as ever.. oh shit, they’re coming over”
“i’m so sorry but, i cant be in love with you, y/n.. you’re a devil and devils must be killed.”
- BERTHOLDT HOOVER
falling for you and is TERRIFIED
WHAT? HOW- WHATS HE GONNA DO??
he loves you so much. he really does.
but he has other priorities... ahem.
he’s so scared about what he’s gonna do :(
“aw man.. how could i fall in love with someone here? shit. i mean, it’s them! of course i did, they’re perfect. but i cant love them.”
- ANNIE LEONHART
falling for you and what the fuc-
boy ain’t no way boy.
unlike bertholdt and reiner, annie has her head on straight
she knows she can’t be with you.
but since it’s you, the most incredible person she’s ever met, it’s tempting...
“ha. i see they’re using my fighting technique. god, i cant be thinking of them so romantically. c’mon annie, get a grip.”
- LEVI ACKERMAN
falling for you and what the fuck (2)
aight, i cba for this.
he’s so, so, so terrified of you leaving him - like everyones he’s loved.
he feels like a walking curse, anyone he loves dies.
and he can’t have that happen to you.
“they’re off to get me another cup of tea, they’re too kind. i cant love them, they’ll end up dead.”
- ERWIN SMITH
falling for you and welp.
he’s conflicted...
he’s in a (sort of) good position to have a partner
he doesn’t have anything holding him back apart from being a commander (and the basement)
however, the secrets of titans is honestly his top priority as much as he likes you
“what a beautiful yet stern person. in a perfect world, maybe we’d be together. or maybe we can be, hm.”
- HANGE ZOË
falling for you and IS SO EXCITED
is so prepared to confess
thinks ur incredible!!
planning it out as soon as they realise how much they love you
is trying to think of a fun way to confess
“oh my god.. OH MY GOD, I LOVE THEM! I LOVE THEM, IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW, ALL THESE BUTTERFLY-LIKE FEELINGS WOOO”

If Anne knows when she dies, do you think it makes her a lil reckless? She knows she’ll be fine nbd. Meanwhile poor sasha and marcy are having heart attacks and flashbacks
Yea, at least when she gets into high school and the few times she got drunk she’d do death-defying things (which would freak Sasha out who’d grab her and take her away to get sober). As she got older she’d just use her predetermined death as a way to keep her and others safe from dangerous situations, especially in the swamps during research trips

Attack on Titan Guys and Their Lovers
I've been working on some AOT fics and decided I'd post my ideas for their ideal lover to keep me motivated to work on their fics....
warnings: fluff, angst, language
contains: Eren, Armin, Jean, Connie, Levi
Tumblr media
Eren
Mikasa. Sorry, don't make the rules...but...It would be a soldier like Christa (before she was Historia). They met as cadets and Eren admired her selflessness. It pisssed him off that someone so kind and gentle determined that to help as many people as possible, she should join the Scouts. She truly believed her death would aid in humanities battle.
It shocked Eren at how quickly she jumped in the face of a titan to save another soldier. And, when Eren turned out to be a titan shifter, she didn't treat him any differently.
"Eren, I don't care about killing anyone. I just want to see the sunrise every morning beyond the island."
"Then I'll make sure you can."
Armin
Ya'll be sleeping on this man's potential partner. This is one of my favs...
Commander Erwin had a daughter in her last year of training in the Cadet Corp when her father died. She learned that Armin was saved over Erwin, and decided, "yo, I should know the man that was worth more than my dad because that's wack."
She's very brutish with her words like Erwin, but it's what Armin needs to hear. Whenever he freaks out about not being the right choice and is insecure because he doesn't know what to do, she's right there to reassure him that even she would've chosen him over her father.
"I don't know what to do! I just...It should be Erwin standing here."
"Don't waste my dad's breath. Stand up and think, Armin."
Jean
I once hated this man and now I'm his hype woman so...here goes
Jean needs someone not tainted by war. Sure, he probably saved them when they were being chased by titans. He was their hero. But he saw that fear and that determination in their eyes and he didn't know what possessed him when he made them promise to never join the military.
Sasha and Connie walk up on him one day while he's sketching and they ask who he's drawing. He just grumbles that it's his imagination and slams the notebook closed. That's when he realized he had a little crush. That's also when he decides to hunt them down and he stumbled upon them working as a medic in a makeshift hospital.
"I got a serious injury."
"Huh? Where?"
"My heart."
Connie
I will forever and always die on the Connie deserves all the love in the world because have you seen him? Heard him? This is another fav idea:
Connie. Scrawny cadet Connie met her the first day of training. She was strong and sly and always winked at him and when anyone mentioned it, he'd brush it off. But for the life of him, he couldn't figure out why she, smart and witty, would be attracted to him, Class A Idiot. It annoyed him how much time she spent with Reiner and Bertolt, but at the end of the day, she'd always hang out with him.
When Reiner and Bertolt revealed themselves atop the wall and asked Eren to join them, she stood motionless. Pale face. Clenched fists. And when Reiner and Bertolt revealed themselves, they revealed her too. She escaped with them.
During the attack of Liberio four years later, she was in such a bad mental state that Marley officials had already decided a date for her titan to move to another warrior. They had to wait till the Festival was over, but all the plans were upturned when she was taken along with Eren and Zeke in the airship when Sasha died.
"Oh yeah, the idiot will fall in love with anyone?! I'm not that much of an idiot!"
"I'm sorry."
"Sorry? Sorry? Sasha and my family are dead and my mom's a titan and you're sorry? I can't fucking wait till we're back and someone eats you."
Levi
This is above and by far my fav... enjoy
There wasn't a soldier alive faster than her. Fitting, since she was on Erwin's squad, with Miche, the strongest soldier. Their mission to take in the rats from the Underground was successful, and she was ordered to teach Levi, Isabel, and Farlan the ropes of ODM gear. Which proved useless because they were too prideful for their own good and the first scouting mission came too soon. When he crossed the gate to the walls, she smiled back at him and he saw the birds and grass and sun reflect off her eyes before he looked down at the vast land for himself.
When they both died, Levi was lost. She was the only one who showed an inch of kindness when she hugged him then and there on the battlefield (of course Miche stopped Levi from attacking everyone first). She told him to hold onto his memories and that's when Erwin stepped in.
When Erwin was promoted to Commander, he promoted Levi to squad leader and she was on Levi's team. He confessed to her, and her alone, that he could not read. After a little laughing, she taught him how and stayed by his side in all meetings and wrote his reports until he had a hang of it.
By the time the titan shifter had joined the Scouts, she was a squad leader in her own right. After Petra and his squad died, he found comfort in her again. Fast forward to the day Erwin died. How else could Erwin convince an entire army to ride to their deaths if not sacrificing himself and another strong pawn? It was between her or Levi, since Hange was focusing on the fight inside. They all knew who needed to live.
She was found hours later aa a pile of broken and ripped bones gasping through a dry mouth. He stared at her face. She wheezed and coughed and her wide eyes wouldn't stop moving back and forth. The golden sun blared into them and Levi collapsed on the ground. He'd failed her on two accounts:
he didn't get the fucking beast titan and he wasted the titan serum on Arlert.
"Is that you, Levi?"
"Yes."
"I can't see a thing."
"She's suffering," Hange said with tears dripping down their face, "if we even attempt moving her..."
"Leave. Everyone. Get out of here."
"I wish...I wish I could see the sunset. It's about that time, right?"
"The first time I saw open sky was in your eyes."
"Did we win?"
Levi punched the ground. He punched it again and again until his hand bled. She coughed. It sounded like a screeching eagle: full of misplaced air and urgency.

DuPont School for Monstrous Youths- The Sad Stuff
Ya girl was in an angsty mood, so here's some stuff to hit you in the feels! @artzychic27 @imsparky2002
Voodoo dolls have a long history of being enslaved by humans. Entire families would fall under the control of dark hoodoo mystics, and that was the case for Marinette's family. Tom and Sabine managed to get their daughter out when she was eight or so (with help from Bustier and Mendeliev), but they remain in captivity, which haunts Marinette.
Because Ondine's father was saltwater and her mother freshwater, they're essentially shunned not only by their family (barring her maternal grandparents), but by most of their species as a whole. They live in their isolated lagoon because they weren't welcome anywhere else. Most other aquatic monsters immediately recognize Ondine as being mixed (she has lighter toned skin and upward slanted gills, traits of freshwater monsters, but sharp teeth and fins on her arms and legs, which are saltwater features.) and treat her like garbage.
Dragons are actually incredibly rare as of the last few centuries due to the rise of hunting them for their scales and horns. The Tsurugi clan are actually one of the few remaining prominent families, but even their numbers have severely dwindled. Kagami's mother was blinded and her father killed in an attack when she was very young.
Max's creator/father, Markov, mysteriously vanished without a trace around four years ago. Max has scoured every inch of their home and lab trying to find some sort of lead, but has found nothing. He continues to search because he knows his father wouldn't have just abandoned him.
When Ivan was ten years old, his village in the mountains was attacked by a cryptid hunting brigade. His mother managed to get him and Sasha to safety, but his father was killed in the attack trying to give his family time to get away. He still wakes up crying every once in a while.
Simon's parents and the majority of his family deemed him 'worthless' because he was such a 'runt' for their kind. He was essentially disowned and cast out for being an 'embarrassment'. Thankfully, his aunt was having none of that.
Jean possesses a very rare and deadly ability for phantoms, which is to sing a cursed note that can stop the heart and shatter the mind, resulting in instant, painful death. Many see them as a threat because of this, and it's the reason his father took him away from his mother. She wanted to use them as a weapon against humans.
Nathaniel's dad died when a band of humans set fire to the chapel the Kurtzbergs had called home, wanting to rid it of 'demons'. He was smashed to rubble trying to get his son to safety.
Anthony has been persecuted his entire life for being a daemon, and supposedly 'evil'. He has scars from holy water being thrown at him, people have set fire to his family's home, and he constantly gets told to "GO BACK TO HELL!"
Yeah, Ismael’s mom never wanted a kitten and threw both him and his dad out when Fazli refused to “get rid of” their child.
Aurore’s planet was consumed by a civil war which was why her family had to flee to Earth. Her family was a prestigious clan with HUGE targets on their backs, and had to go to a planet basically off the records for their own safety.
Leave your thoughts in the comments and reblogs!

4 | Letters From the Living
── ⋅⋅⋅ ────꒰ ୨ ♡ ୧ ꒱───────
Series Masterlist
Summary: You've always loved journaling. It's a hobby you keep even after the world turns upside down.
Pairings: Daryl Dixon × Reader
Pronouns Used: None
Word Count: 882
Warnings: Death, typical twd stuff
A/N: This one starts off on a bit of a time jump accurate to the one in between s3 and s4. Ty to @srystix for proofreading!!!!! Ily!!’
Tumblr media
So apparently someone has been leaving dead animals by the fences and THAT’S what’s been attracting all the extra walkers. And although that concerns me, what concerns me even more is that no one who has been taking watch knew anything about it. What are they doing up there!? I’m so damn stressed it’s not even funny. ALSO Rick brought in this woman and her infected husband tried to eat him. What the fuck man.
In other news, Daryl and I went hunting the other day and did wayyy more than hunting if you catch my drift. We are so in love it’s sickening. Everytime he calls me darling I fall flat on my face. He’s also so good with Jenny. He took her out on a run so that she could get some practice killing walkers. She looks up to him.
Michonne stopped by, not sure how long she’ll stay this time, though. She’s determined to find the Governor, I get it, but I wish she’d stay a bit longer.
Same Survivors
Some of Rick’s pigs got sick and it spread to some of the community. Patrick and Ryan are dead. And then, after burning the pig pen and isolating the sick people, someone took it upon themselves to burn the sick people too. The council is in a tizzy, we don’t know what to do and everyone is scared. Glenn and Sasha are sick now too, and Hershel is tending to the sick making both Beth and Maggie upset.
Also, Rick got into a fight with Tyreese because one of the sick people who were murdered was Karen and Tyreese had been seeing her for a bit. Daryl separated them but Tyreese is demanding Rick find out who did it. Daryl, Michonne, Bob, and Tyreese just left to go on a supply run. I’m stressed. Especially now that Daryl is out on a run. God he’s got the BEST timing ever!!! Ok. I’m gonna talk about something happy now.
Jenny and I had a talk last night. She told me she liked girls and that she specifically liked Beth, but that Beth wouldn’t go for her since she was so young. She was really sad when she told me that. It broke my heart seeing her like that. I’m pretty sure at one point she started crying, but she had her head on my shoulder so I couldn’t actually see her face. I’m happy she trusted me enough to tell me. I love her so much.
Oh wow! Rick just came into my cell and told me some amazing news!! Carol killed the sick people. CAROL KILLED THE SICK PEOPLE. I can’t breathe. Bye.
Same Survivors
It’s been a while. A LOT happened. I’m not gonna go through everything because frankly, I just can’t. The sickness kept spreading so I started helping Hershel tend to everyone. The governor is alive— well, WAS alive— and attacked the prison with a new army. I barely escaped with Tyreese, Judith, Mika, and Lizzie. We ran into some guys getting attacked by walkers and Tyreese decided to help them leaving the girls and I alone against a bunch of walkers ourselves. I did the best I could but that wasn’t good enough. They almost got bit. Thankfully, Carol was there. She saved us. The guys Tyreese tried to help also died, but they told us about a place ahead.
We found a small house and it was nice, but it turns out Lizzie was the one killing animals and leaving them at the fences for walkers. She killed Mika and then Carol killed her. It had to happen, I know, but I feel so guilty about it. We left the next morning for that place the guy told us about.
Tyreese kidnapped some dude who told us about Terminus, the place we were headed. Terminus was actually a town full of cannibals. CANNIBALS.
We found Terminus and realized that they had Rick, Carl, Michonne, Maggie, Glenn, some new people, but most importantly; Daryl and Jenny. Carol hatched a plan and her and I set off a rocket which distracted the people enough for them to escape. We had a nice reunion and then brought them back to Tyreese and Judith.
And yeah. I really wasn’t okay, but I am now, so yay I guess. I’m glad Jenny and Daryl are okay. Like really glad. Like really really really glad. I don’t know what I would have done if they weren’t. Even being separated from them for a few nights was hell. The not knowing, you know? But they’re here now. And I need to go because it’s my turn to take watch in a few minutes and they’ll come get me and see my journal.. soo…. Bye.

STOP! THANK YOU! I love when someone says skmeth8ng about art!
Also drop those spark notes, I’m too impatient 😭🤭
IT’S SO PRETTY YOU’RE SO TALENTED!!! Sorry for taking forever to respond the sparknotes were extensive 😭
OKAY SPARKNOTES TIME:
Swear
— with may ducat’s help, Y/N escapes solitary confinement and they go to help rescue eren from reiner and bertholdt
— Y/N pretends like she reciprocates bertholdt’s feelings so that he lets down his guard and she manages to free eren but is injured in the process, the scream scene is basically the same as it was in promise i think but I’m undecided whether she and eren would’ve kissed and gotten together at that point or not
— the first part of season 3 is also generally the same as promise was except levi is the one that kills rod reiss as he promised to do so right after Eren’s trial and Y/N becoming the commander of the first interior squad wasn’t a surprise, it was actually historia’s condition for becoming queen
— after rod reiss dies, levi gives Y/N a dagger so that in some way or another he’s always protecting her
— she confronts lord maiar (the one she was like engaged to??) and he threatens her life, which allows her to lawfully kill him as because she is his fiancée, by threatening her he is technically attempting to end his own family’s line of succession, so as his fiancée she is able to attempt to kill a family member of equal importance to him as herself (which is him) (it’s complicated but it’s basically the same rule that gave lord maiar control over her father’s family line after he killed her mother, lmk if you want me to add the direct quote explaining the law)
— during return to shiganshina, Y/N is ‘killed’ while fighting the beast titan with levi. floch saves her instead of erwin and levi has to choose between her and armin; he ends up choosing Y/N so she inherits the colossal titan instead of armin
— when they reach the sea, Y/N finds an oyster and decides to keep it because she thinks it’s a cool shell or something idk it’s just a memento for her
— while visiting marley with the scouts, Y/N and levi end up together by themselves while everyone is drunk because they’re the #responsible friends, she asks him if things between them would’ve been different if she wasn’t a lady/noble and he’s surprised but tells her no, eren then leaves as per canon which ofc upsets everyone especially Y/N
— attack on marley follows canon but it’s Y/N instead of armin, sasha is the one who dies at gabi’s hand
— during the table scene eren tells Y/N that she would be nothing without bertholdt and that she took everything from him (she is still wearing the black cloak at that point as well as having the colossal titan) and she also is the reason armin died and she’s unable to protect anyone
— Y/N is the one to find levi and save him from the jaegerists, they are together when the rumbling begins and consider just hiding away but they both know they can’t ofc
— i believe the rest of season 4 would’ve progressed like it did in canon
— once everyone else has been turned into titans and Y/N enters the paths, she meets eren and he tells her that armin was the true savior of humanity before having her open the oyster she found at the sea, revealing a pearl in it (pearls in this story represent justice), Y/N realizes that she has to find justice no matter what and returns to the present timeline
— on falco’s back, she thanks levi for helping her believe in herself, helping her be strong, and for giving her his dagger. She then takes off her black cloak and gives it to him before going into the mouth of Eren’s titan and apologizing before swearing that she won’t leave him ever again
— using Levi’s dagger, she stabs herself through the heart and uses the pain to transform on final time, knowing that it’ll end the curse of Ymir and she won’t be able to regenerate, effectively killing both herself and eren
— the reason why it works is because ymir chose levi to watch over, and when he chose Y/N over armin back in Shiganshina, he chose love over justice; however, when he doesn’t try to stop Y/N from killing herself for justice his mistake is fixed because he chose justice over love the same way that Y/N did
— the first epilogue shows the aftermath of everything, levi marries may ducat, everyone else i’m not quite sure about but i do think i planned on tullia and reiner getting together?? idrk i think that’s one of those things that would’ve developed naturally with the story ykwim
— the second epilogue is Y/N and eren in the afterlife sitting next to each other at the beach; Y/N says that it feels familiar and asks eren if there’s any universe where they’re happy
— eren tells her that them meeting and losing each other in every universe is inevitable while they watch scenes from their past lives reflected in the water; the scream scene from promise comes up and eren tells Y/N that that was the moment that their fates were set in stone because his soul formed a contract with hers, causing the repetition of their reincarnation cycle
— eren reveals that the reason why things never work out for them is because they are not each other’s soulmates; Y/N’s soulmate is levi but she is forced to be apart from him because of the promise eren made to her. however because she made the choice to die with eren instead of fully losing him, she has the chance to break free from the promise and be with her actual soulmate. the visions in the water change to show her having a peaceful and/or happy life with levi, but she refuses, saying she doesn’t care about who her soulmate is as she only wants eren
— they sit in silence for a while before eren warns her that she’s condemning herself to an eternity of pain if she continues to abide by the contract as there’s no chance for them to ever be happy together and there might not be another opportunity for her to break free from it again. Y/N says that she can bear any amount of pain as long as he finds her in every life they lead; eren swears he will and she swears to always stay by his side, as long as she can
— they sit for a little while longer and contemplate things and wonder where they will go next; they end up hugging, Y/N asks if they can stay there together for a little while longer, to which Eren agrees and says there’s no rush
Hostis Humani Generis
— this fic was tough because the problem with Y/N Ackerman is that she was just too strong; several of the problems in canon simply wouldn’t have occurred if she was there
— most of the fic followed canon; jean had a crush on Y/N and mikasa liked eren, tullia reiss was in love with armin and he loved her as well (they had a relationship)
— the ackermans don’t have hosts but they are born with innate protective desires and wills to fight; they usually associate their desire with one person, hence the host misconception, as it’s usually someone who they have strong feelings for — for Y/N in this fic it was tullia reiss as Y/N was illiterate due to coming from the underground and tullia taught her how to read and write so that she wasn’t kicked out of the cadet corps
— right after trost, it’s revealed that levi is Y/N’s ‘brother’ (to the characters, obviously we as the readers know based on context clues), levi tells her that farlan and isabel are dead and that she should stop going by “Y/N Church” as that’s not really her last name and it’s okay to not have a last name as he doesn’t either
— post-stohess, Y/N sees eren and mikasa together right after he wakes up so she decides to leave the room as she believes eren deserves better than her and she thinks that eren and mikasa are in love (she knew that mikasa cared for eren since the cadet corp but didn’t think eren liked mikasa back until just then)
— during the scream scene, Y/N confesses all of her crimes — of which there are MANY because she was a little murderer in the underground — and tells him that she probably deserves to die for everything she’s done. Eren gets angry and tells her that she can’t die because she is the kind of person that will change the world someday. She is in disbelief, and he tells her that they will do it together before punching dina
— the only super notable thing that happens in the first half of season 3 is that Y/N sees Kenny again, revealing that he is her father (again, to the characters — it was obvious to the readers based on context clues) and finds out that she is an Ackerman as well as discovering that although levi isn’t her literal brother, he IS her biological cousin
— oh wait also tullia reiss is denied the throne in favor of historia because the military officials thought she would be too hard to control and she was too close to rod reiss as a child; they are afraid she will turn on them somehow
— during return to shiganshina and the conflict between choosing erwin and armin, Y/N gets into a fight with mikasa for pinning levi — she is loyal to her brother above all else and doesn’t give the others time to convince him to pick armin, leading to erwin being revived instead (i promise i don’t hate armin LMAOO idk why he dies in shiganshina in both fics)
— when zeke is trapped in the forest with levi, tullia somehow manages to inherit his titan, severely injuring levi in the process (he’s in a similar state as in canon); her beast titan has a deer-like form
— it turns out that Y/N, tullia, and eren have been planning to start the rumbling, and with tullia inheriting the beast from zeke, she fulfills the requirement of a royal-blooded titan. during the battle in shiganshina, Y/N manages to block gabi’s shot, so eren reaches tullia unharmed after she screams and they go into the paths and start the rumbling with 0 fuss
— Y/N wanted the rumbling because she didn’t want anything to hurt her brother or her friends, eren wanted it for freedom and safety for his friends and somewhat for himself?? and tullia wanted it to get revenge on the world for what they suffered and for what was taken from her (they are not meant to be seen as morally just reasons LMAO that’s just how they justify it to themselves)
— Y/N disappears at this point while the rest of the characters do what they did in canon
— when mikasa breaks into the mouth of eren’s titan, she finds Y/N is there waiting for her; once again, they get into a fight, which Y/N wins. Y/N taunts mikasa by reminding her of what happened in shiganshina and how Y/N won, how she will always win in any match between the two of them because she is stronger. She almost kills mikasa but at the last moment lets her go, remembering that they are sisters in a sense due to being from the same family
— once the rumbling is completed, the genocidal trio emerges and they are immediately punished for their crimes; eren is fed to reiner, tullia to erwin, and Y/N is locked away in prison for the rest of her life
— the epilogue is Y/N reflecting on her time in prison. She hasn’t spoken since the day that eren and tullia were executed — the only thing she does is sit in the jail cell and think. She remembers that reiner used to visit and sit with her in silence (likely because he had some sympathy for her) but he hadn’t come for some years; it’s implied that this is because his term ended and somebody else got his titans as the curse of ymir was not ended. Jean used to visit her due to being in love with her; his last visit is her telling her he married mikasa, and he never comes back afterwards. Connie occasionally comes just to yell at her.
— at one point, people trying to revive the jaegerist cause broke her out of prison in the hopes that she will help them overthrow the government and the monarchy, but all she did was sit in the grass until she was caught and sent back to the jail cell. she is very apathetic about life now that the rumbling is over and doesn’t seem to care about anything or react to anyone
— despite how many years it has been, levi has never visited Y/N. as she thinks that, the story returns to the present and levi appears in his wheelchair. he tells her that she looks awful and, in the first time in years, she speaks, begging him to kill her. he unlocks the door to her jail cell and enters it, she sits at his feet and lays her head in his lap like she used to when she was a child; beginning to cry, she asks him if he hates her now
— he tells her that although she might have been an enemy of humanity, she would always be his little sister. she closes her eyes and smiles slightly; he wipes away her tears and then stabs her in the back
— fun fact: Y/N escaped the underground because she wanted to see the sun; however, she spends the last few years and honestly probably the majority of her life in the dark/underground, even dying there. at least she had her brother in her final moments?? lol

what happens when their partner/interest tells them to close their eyes pt. 1 // aot & fire force headcanon
pairings: aot x black plus-size gnc reader (ocs) & fire force x black plus-size gnc reader (ocs)
{mdni/f}
a/n: rushed dis out to feed yawl🤞🏿🐆benimaru, mikasa, levi, sasha coming sewn,,,enjoy🫡
hange
“okay!” they did as they were told, hands patting their lap as they waited for whatever it was itoro was preparing
they sniffed the air, trying to get a hint of the surprise—food perhaps? itaro had been on a baking high for the last week and a half, welcoming hange from work with the sweet scent of their delicacies
“what is it?” hange questioned with an innocent lilt, impatience slipping through. “i like the food you’ve been making! i like the weight i’ve been putting on!“ they chirped, searching for the presence of their lover
“if i could have just told you what it was, would there have been a reason to tell you to close your eyes and wait?” itoro’s sudden change in tone made hange bite their tongue, posture straightening
skin warming, hange squirmed around on the couch, fingers twiddling. “i…sorry.”
“it’s okay, i know you’re only curious.” itaro moved closer, gaze darting from the items in their hands to their partner
hange whipped their heads towards the direction they heard itaro approaching, heart banging against their chest as they awaited the next command
“go ahead and open your eyes, baby,” itoro spoke in a softer voice
hange raced to look at itoro, their stare dropping to the leather straps they were gripping
“i’ve just been thinking about how the version for your uniforms looked on you…” itaro felt their skin warm, fingers stroking the material. “so i made some new ones for us to use…if you want.”
“i do!” hange covered their mouth and chuckled. “sorry. I would like to.” they nudged their glasses, nearly about to jump from their seat. “so, do you want my clothes off now or…”
itaro held back a laugh. “you look like you’re about to attack me.”
“it’s just that our work has kept us away from each other for a while so i’m all revved up,” they responded. “so…we doing this right here or the bedroom?”
an idea popped into itoro’s head, making their lower abdomen churn
“take your pick.” a smile crept onto their lips
dazed by unbound horniness, hange leapt up and took off towards the bedroom, a trail of clothes left in their wake
hibana
“you’re not gonna bamboozle me and leave me sitting here alone again, are you?” hibana side-eyed ime, then looked down, measuring the distance that was between them since sitting down on the freshly cut grass
hibana just wanted a hint of affection from the newcomer and will strive until succession—no matter the embarrassment.
at least hibana could heal a bit with a dash of hangout time they were permitted before either were pulled away for a situation
she needs to stand up fr,,,but like for ime…????? we: 🛐🛐🛐. don’t ask
feigning a yawn, hibana stretched their arms upwards then out, letting them drop closer to ime, granting them a chance to scoot theirself closer
“what are you doing?” ime’s eyes were resting behind their dark glasses, body hunched over their bent knees and unmoving
hibana pursed their lips, freezing their movement. “we’re just sitting so far from each-”
“any closer and you’d be breathing on my shoulder. are you gonna close your eyes or keep that mouth running?”
“well if you’re going to just be rude and walk away, no.” hibana crossed their arms
“i won’t,” voice monotone, ime responded
hibana immediately shut their eyes, perking up at all the possible scenarios that could ensue
they’re too shy to do it with my eyes open? i didn’t know they were so timid. i was doubting myself. i am able to have that effect on them! i need to be more confident! hmph!
finding herself leaning into ime, hibana’s heart thumped as she fully immersed herself into the fantasy
“alright, open your eyes.” ime finally looked away from hibana, hiding their downturned smile while they scooted away
hibana’s lips formed a small pout. “what? are you sure?” they opened one eye, peeking at ime. “uh-you moved further away! you were going to leave me, i knew it.”
ime turned their face away from the warmth of the setting sun, adjusting their glasses with a quick nudge from their knuckle. “i wanted to know how much peaceful it would be if you were asleep instead of awake.”
*getting time to lewk at this lil cutie without them “ruining” the moment
“it’s true. i have a gorgeous resting face-”
“because you talk entirely too much when you’re conscious.”
hibana’s brows furrowed. “…were you imagining me asleep or dead?”
“don’t worry about it.”
tucking their hair behind their ear, hibana reimagined the scenario. “you were…thinking about me?”
“hibana…”
ymir
“no. why?” ymir quirked a brow, knowing they could’ve easily succumbed to the enthusiastic request
xasan rolled their eyes. “so i can smack you, obviously. just close ‘em!”
“…definitely not.”
employing their puppy eyes, xasan’s gaze feigned sorrow.
ymir fought the urge to look at their partner directly, holding their refreshment while looking in another direction
sighing ymir murmured, “i hate when you do that.”
xasan watched ymir close their eyes, sticking their tongue out in triumph while initiating a small dance in their seat
“keep doing that and watch.”
xasan pursed their lips and stopped moving, narrowing their eyes.
“or what?” they mouthed, one hundred percent sure ymir was not able to see
“you know my eyes are closed but assuming you talk back like you always love to do, i can stop playing your little game very quick.”
xasan’s grip tightened on the small package in their cardigan pocket, harboring their reaction to the tone of ymir’s threat
regathering their senses, they slipped the object out of their pocket, reaching across the table to set it in front of their partner
hearing the rustling from xasan’s movement, ymir’s impatience nearly triumphed in the battle to keep their vision blocked
“okay, you can open them now,” xasan chirped, fingers intertwining as their nerves began to set in
proceeding with their nonchalant act, ymir opened one eye, gaze darting to the gift on the table before landing on xasan
panic arose when ymir thought an anniversary or birthday had passed—but that couldn’t be true, they were usually the one to remind xasan of events they had forgotten
ymir didn’t do well with being given gifts out of nowhere—they mostly thrived on reciprocation in most aspects of their life
frozen, ymir responded, “i…didn’t get you anything.”
“that’s okay.” xasan was bright with anticipation, “look what’s inside,” they urged
“what’s inside?”
“ymir, just open it and you’ll see.”
“what kind of gift is it though,” they continued to probe, anxious
“baby…”
chest tightening, ymir put down their cup down, slender fingers skimming the wrapping paper. sitting up in the chair, they took the small package and ripped into it
ymir’s brows furrowed, jaw set as they cleared their throat. taking the small painted glass into their palms they let out a shuddery breath
xasan’s eyes widened, the unexpected reaction rendering them silent.
it was a small project only meant to mark the beginning of their art journey. at most they expected a small nod and compliment knowing a child could have done just the same, better even
but the tears?
now both of them crying
“it’s so pretty,” ymir sniffled, drying away their tears with the back of their hand. “look at our little hands holding each other. we’re just laying in a…in a field flowers.” they shook their head
“i’m glad you like it.” xasan caught their gaze and held it as a silence ensued in the presence of bountiful adoration

MAG 119 Relisten
Activity on my first listen: cutting apples.
Oh, the opening of this episode is such a delight! I also like the colorful logo and the stage lights in the YouTube video!
I think this is one of the episodes with the most voices! 10 different VAs. Only MAG 158 reaches this count too, also 10 different VAs (MAG 92 is kinda up there as well, it's 11 characters, but since the additional characters are voiced by Alex and Hannah, it's only 8 VAs)
Also just realized, this is one of the shortest episodes. MAG 79 (also the second to last of a season) was 16:19, this one is 16:41.
JON: [disoriented] "Yes, yes, if you could, I’d – I’d value your input on it…" SARAH: "Tim." JON: "Yes, Tim. Tim." Still breaking our hearts, way to go...
BREEKON: "You don’t even know what a gun is." DAISY: "I don’t care." [SOUNDS OF GORE AND THE DELIVERYMEN GROANING IN SHOCK. DAISY BEGINS LAUGHING.] Yep. Take away the person and all that remains is the beast.
BASIRA: "Doesn’t matter. Names don’t matter. I just… I know – I know I’m me and I know I’m here." This...
NIKOLA:[unconvincingly] "Why, I’m…. Tim of course! Who else would I be?" JON: "You’re not. You’re not Tim." NIKOLA: "Oh, you caught me! I’m Sasha!" JON: "Shut up!" Regaining some clarity here. Enough to know that Nikola is not Tim and enough to still feel rage about Sasha.
JON: “I-I tried. I tried, I almost –” GERTRUDE!NIKOLA: “You almost what? You almost didn’t doom the world? No, you almost let reality be the plaything of a lazy, foolish voyeur. JON: “No, no – I would – I could have stopped them.” GERTRUDE!NIKOLA: “How? You didn’t even know what it was. Do you know how many people I killed to keep the world in one piece? The sacrifices I made, and you didn’t even know what you were fighting.” That slaps pretty well in knowledge of where all this is leading. Up until the end he never did know what fight he was actually fighting.
GERTRUDE!NIKOLA: "I fought for years to stop the Stranger in its tracks, you didn’t even notice when they desecrated my corpse. And now look at me. You’ve made me part of their ritual. This is your fault." JON: "It is not. It’s not, I didn’t know. It’s not my fault you died." LEITNER!NIKOLA: [distorted] "No, I suppose not. Me, on the other hand… that one is very much your fault." JON: [despairing] "No, not – not you as well…" Feeding the thought of being a failure. And feeding the guilt.
LEITNER!NIKOLA: "I hardly had the chance, did I? Before you left me to get my head bashed in. I understand, of course. You needed a cigarette? I suppose you should have remembered that smoking kills." [giggles] That joke was so obvious and I am so very happy it's in the show XD
LEITNER!NIKOLA "If our earlier conversation was anything to go by, I hardly think you can blame your faults on the ritual. Your problems go far deeper than that." JON: "Just – give me a moment, please." LEITNER!NIKOLA: "You think that would help? Honestly, if I wasn’t so dead I’d be impressed. I always thought my own hubris to be quite exceptional, but you’ve managed to somehow deliver more bad decisions into two years than I managed in a lifetime. But by all means take your moment." More and more coming. Blaming it all on him.
Growling Hunt Daisy is so good...
BASIRA: "Ignore it. ignore the uh… don’t listen. Focus, think. This is a place. You are you and you’re in a place now. If… if it’s a place, and it’s now, then… then… then it has an end. The other things, the…" [...] "Good! Then – then keep moving. Keep moving until you find another place. A place you know… just keep moving. Keep moving." This!... I didn't know what it meant, when I first listened to it. But up until then, I've never had a panic attack in my life. The second time around, I knew exactly what this was.
GERTRUDE!NIKOLA: "A terrible new world. It is all your fault." Is- is this meant as foreshadowing? Because is does a pretty good job at it! Just like that earlier bit with "You almost didn't doom the world?"...
JON: "I see you." Oh yes, going full Archivist with a brief statement of Joseph Grimaldi. (Also this is a line that is used for the finales of S2, S3 and S4!)
JON: [strained] "Wait, Tim! What do you see?" TIM: [angered] "I see my asshole boss! Or – or… wait… wait." Making other people see work very well for season finales.
TIM: "Jon. I don’t know if you can hear me, but if you can… then I don’t forgive you. But thank you for this." That pretty much settled the deal for me to decide that Tim has officially climbed my "dislike" rating up several steps at once. This whole episode is just "How can we fuck up Jon even more?", and Tim participated in it. I am very conflicted about Tim. I know what bad mental health can do to your persona. But the fact, that he knows, this will be the last he says to Jon and still decided to rub something in his face, just doesn’t sit right with me.  Also, I personally am just not someone for revenge arcs. It’s just creating an unending spiral of hate and it’s gonna blow up in your face... pun intended.
NIKOLA: “You idiot! Do you really make the world will fare any better under the Watcher? You think you’re saving anyone?!” Considering that this is what S4 is gonna be about, I’m guessing this was all foreshadowing... Or setting the stage, if you will^^
Ending the episode with a bang! ... Sorry, I just really like puns...
My first time around I had a really, reaaally hard time following what was going on (I mean, it is the Unknowing, so it's fitting). I had to carefully resort to the wiki and read the summary.

Attack on Prime Halloween Anthology: The White Death
Link to story: https://archiveofourown.org/works/36583423/chapters/91243426
(I need to create a masterlist for this series...I’ll do it tomorrow.)
“Give us something challenging,” Hanji requested Optimus as they sat around the bonfire.
“Challenging?” Optimus raised an eyebrow.
“Well, so far, it’s been two stories, but I haven’t been scared,” Hanji admitted.
“We’ve been scared!” Connie shouted at her, “I don’t want some woman slitting my mouth in my sleep or drowning me in a river!”
“I’d advise against this,” Optimus implored once more.
“No! We are keeping score!” Jean declared. 
Optimus stared at the fire. There was one he did fine morally interesting, but the details of this being were...quite graphic to say the least. But...fine. He’d play along, no matter how much he despised it. “Once upon a time, there was a young girl who had hated life so much that she wanted to rid the world of every trace of her very existence. When her family had left their home, she had burned all of her possessions and removed herself from the world. When her family had learned about her passing, they were mysteriously killed. When the police investigated the murders of her and her family, they too had also met the same fate as the family. The girl was so persistent in ridding herself from the world that she had returned as an entity known as: The White Death. 
The being wanted to be of everyone who knew her existence. However, one who knows of her existence, won’t know that she is following them. Until they hear seven knocks on their door.
One for your skin, used to patch her decaying flesh.
Two for your hair, which she’ll gnash between her teeth.
Three for your bones, which she’ll fashion into clubs.
Four for your heart, which she’ll rip out of your chest.
Five for your teeth, which she’ll keep in a box.
Six for your eyes, which she’ll pluck from their sockets.
And seven for your soul.
Which each life she takes, the spirit becomes  angrier, knowing that her mission will never be completed. Her memories lives on in the stories told, like this one. So beware the knocks of the White Death.”
The air between them was deathly quiet, until Hanji took out her notebook and knocked on it seven times. All the Scouts jumped in fear, save for Mikasa and Levi causing Hanji to laugh.
“Oh that was enticing!” Hanji smiled, “I actually have goosebumps. You’re an amazing story teller.”
“That’s fucking horrible!” Jean declared before turning to Optimus, “Why would you tell us that?!”
“I told you, you did not have to listen,” Optimus reminded.
“Why does she need to torture them?” Mikasa asked Optimus, earning all eyes on her.
“What?” Optimus questioned.
“Why the torture?” Mikasa asked, “If the whole point is to kill anyone who is aware of her existence, why bother with turning the victims bones into clubs. Is she driven mad because of her endless mission?”
“Mikasa brings up a fair point,” Hanji agreed, “It seems like the only way for her to truly find peace is if humanity died.”
“Mikasa, aren’t you phased by this?” Armin asked her.
Mikasa thought it over before shaking her head. 
“You are made of some tough skin, and I applaud you for it,” Sasha declared.

MUSE PLAYLIST.
AURELIA PTA'HOA
Tumblr media Tumblr media
⚔️ main: Princess Mononoke by Sasha Lazard ↳ "Your secret heart belongs to the world of the things that sigh in the dark - oh the things that cry in the dark."
Aurelia comes off as enigmatic and beautiful. But ultimately, she keeps her heart very much in her chest. She is open and honest and compassionate, but she does not where he heart on her sleeve per se. Nobody knows her deepest desires, nor do they know her deepest fears. All they know is that she is sweet, gentle, kind, and very good with animals. She aligns with the dragon imagery of her culture quite well, but she keeps the true reason why as secretive as possible. All the same her people know the truth: that her destiny and her very being belongs to her homeworld and the beasts of its prophecy.
⚔️ silly: Judy You Hung the Moon by HARBOUR ↳ "summer nights together drivin' cobra, no headlights, rum and coca cola - we'll drive all night 503 until the mornin'"
Lighthearted and indicative of her more fun and playful side, Aurelia enjoys spending time in the company of others. She indulges in things that others in the Order raise a brow at. Where others might view drinking soda, driving around all night, playing card games, and dancing like a college kid in a club as questionable and unbecoming, Aurelia prefers to enjoy living life a little more casually than others in the Order might think appropriate.
⚔️ determination: 10,000 Enemies by Emeli Sande ↳ "I feel the whole earth shake, brought to my knees. Although 10,000 strong, I shall be free"
There are few who hold Aurelia's sense of steadfast hope- or stubbornness. No matter how fraught the situation, how slim the odds, or how grim the circumstances, she never yields. Perhaps the goal is inspire others to stand with her through the worst of things - she is quite outspoken and rebellious when she wants to be. Or perhaps it's simply because she really is just that stubborn. In any case, Aurelia concedes to no outside force. Not man, nor God, nor beast will intimidate her or convince her to back down once she's made up her mind.
⚔️ battle: WW III by grandson ↳ 'Tell me what I'm supposed to think when the bullets start to pour, lie about some greater good when you ship me off to war. Thousand dead on either side, is there no one keeping score? I just wanna make it home when you ship me off to war!'
One of the things Aurelia is ashamed of as a Jedi is the fact that she is not just a general, but a good general. In her mind, Jedi were never meant to be anything more than peacekeepers. But the Clone Wars forced them into a position of commanding armies and choosing who lives and who dies. And she's not okay with that. In the Order, she trained to be a healer. She trained to save lives and improve the quality of those who survived wounds or illness. This whole concept of killing people is against everything she stands for and she despises it. She's deeply shaken by the number of dead she's had to help bury, the wounds of war she's had to heal. She's deeply in tune with and connected to the clones she leads and she does not have the heart to sacrifice them, no matter the cause. She puts herself in their shoes and the devastation she feels as a result of losing them breaks her after every battle.
⚔️ sad: Bad Liar by Imagine Dragons ↳ "So look me in the eyes, tell me what you see. Perfect paradise tearing at the seams? I wish I could escape, I don't wanna fake it. Wish I could erase it, make your heart believe - but I'm a bad liar"
Aurelia maintains a terrible habit of repressing everything that makes her sad. She will constantly tell those around her that she's okay but on the inside, she grapples with these intense feelings of inadequacy and paranoid thoughts that she is a danger to the point where she will drown herself in the anxieties and what-if scenarios, choking herself on the fear she conjures up within herself to the point of literally being unable to breathe during panic attacks and meltdowns. She's desperate to talk it out with someone but she fears the reactions that come from telling her secret to others, and the cycle continues until the point of her breaking down.
⚔️ relaxed: Hymn for the Weekend by Coldplay ft. Beyonce ↳ "You said, "Drink from me, drink from me" when I was so thirsty. Pour on a symphony - now I just can't get enough!"
Giving comes naturally to Aurelia. Few things make her feel more relaxed than being able to help people. Seeing others content and in a state of relaxation also relaxes her. It lets her know that she can set down her blade for a while and enjoy life the way it was meant to. When at rest and truly in a zen state, one might even be able to see flowers and plants blooming around Aurelia where she sits. Birds and other wildlife might perch on her or sit around her for the moment, enjoying the peaceful aura she lets off.
⚔️ contemplative: You Say by Lauren Daigle ↳ "I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enough. Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up. Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low? Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know"
Identity is a constant conflict within Aurelia. The loss of her home and her induction into the Order, her role as a Jedi and her role as a divine reincarnation, her existence as an individual person and her existence as a dragon goddess - all of these identities contradict each other and create this sense of displacement and confusion within Aurelia. In calmer moments when she's alone with the thoughts - usually after something has happened that requires her to confront them - she's left questioning her role, her place in the galaxy, and even her worth as a person. Sometimes the outcome of this pondering is the realization that she is still worthy of love and can offer the galaxy goodness. Other times, it's just the segue into a downward spiral of her own anxieties and doubts.
⚔️ happy: Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles ↳ 'Little darlin', the smile's returning to their faces. Little darlin', it seems like years since it's been here. Here comes the sun'
Aurelia is naturally very cheerful and optimistic. She puts out a radiant energy that hopes to lift the spirits of those around her. She offers a warmth and a comfort to those in distress or harboring sadness. A hug from her or a some comforting chatter can change someone's entire day. She puts out a more positive energy than she often feels in an attempt to spare others the same heartache she feels. Her love of life and her love of others is genuine, inspiring optimism and joy wherever she can plant the seeds of it. She wants others to be happy and be at peace, no matter how bad things seem.
⚔️ love theme: All I Ask of You by Josh Groban and Kelly Clarkson ↳ "Let me be your freedom. Let daylight dry your tears. I'm here, with you, beside you to guard you and to guide you."
Where romance is concerned, Aurelia questions whether she is worthy of it. Due to the internal struggle of her role and identity, as well as past experiences where her secrets are concerned, she often feels that she cannot adequately connect with anyone. She doesn't feel safe trusting herself to love others in case the beast comes out. She doesn't feel safe developing connections because that would mean having to inevitably reveal her secrets, and she's afraid of the rejection she thinks she'll face. She doesn't want to connect with someone, give them her heart, give them her love, and then face the heartbreak of being called a monster when the beast comes out. She pushes people away for that reason. But all the same, she craves intimate connection. She yearns to love and be loved, she yearns to have a wonderful partner and her own children and a big happy family. All she wants is companionship and family. But she's too afraid to pursue it on her own- not to mention the restrictions on attachment in the Order.
⚔️ breakup / heartbreak: Copycat by CircusP ↳ "I'll become what you like. This is what you wanted, right? Sacrifice all I know - I will teach myself to let go"
Aurelia has a terrible habit of trying to adapt herself in ways that will please others that she cares for. Minor changes might be fine, but that's not what she does. She overexerts herself and tries to morph herself into a version of herself that she isn't in an attempt to please them. She sets herself up to be manipulated and strung along - or she exhausts herself playing the role of someone or something she's not and breaks her own heart in the process.
⚔️ failure / defeat: Monster by Imagine Dragons ↳ "If I told you what I was would you turn your back on me? And if I seem dangerous would you be scared? I get the feeling just because everything I touch isn't dark enough, If this problem lies in me; I'm only a man with a candle to guide me. I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me. A monster, a monster - I've turned into a monster! A monster, a monster - and it keeps getting stronger!"
The greatest failure that Aurelia feels she can fall to is the beast inside. She fears what the dragon within is capable of, and she fears even more what it might do if she does not maintain strict control over it. If she were to somehow lose her free will over herself and the ability control the beast (as she canonly does when Sutek manages to override her consciousness and use her dragon form as a weapon of destruction), she would actually fall apart and break completely. Becoming that monster that everyone fears is her deepest fear, and seeing that happen during her small moment of clarity where she manages to break free of his hold is what drives her to try and spear herself on a statue of him in the hopes that it will stop the carnage. She doesn't want to be a monster. She would rather die than become a monster, and the reason people suffer.
⚔️ final battle: ECHO by Crusher-P (JubyPhonic, Dj-jo cover) ↳ "the trembling fear is more than i can take when i'm up against the echo in the mirror"
By far, Aurelia's biggest battle is in her own mind. Being the child of prophecy where you're seen as a reincarnation of a god that could fix the galaxy as easily as you could completely destroy weighs on her. A lot. This is not helped by the fact that she has no control over her more divine abilities - like turning into a dragon. The few times she's done it by accident due to uncontrolled emotional outbursts has led to her terrifying people and causing unintentional but massive damage to buildings. She's been called a monster so many times and it hurts her so badly. As a result, the dragon her people view as a blessing, she views as her own personal curse. It's a demon that she sees every time she looks in a mirror and constantly feels like she's fighting with - and she's in a losing battle against it.
TAGGED BY: @romancemoon (bless u i love this meme!!!)
TAGGING: @sithsjedi (Dooku) @tacticalvalor (Apollyon) and anyone else who's up for it!

David McCallum, best known for his roles on NCIS and The Man From U.N.C.L.E., passed away on Monday, September 25 at the age of 90.
“For over 20 years, David McCallum endeared himself to audiences around the world playing the wise, quirky, and sometimes enigmatic, Dr. Donald ‘Ducky’ Mallard. But as much as his fans may have loved him, those who worked side by side with David loved him that much more,” NCIS executive producers Steven D. Binder and David North said in a statement.
“He was a scholar and a gentleman, always gracious, a consummate professional, and never one to pass up a joke,” they continued. “From day one, it was an honor to work with him and he never let us down. He was, quite simply, a legend. He was also family and will be deeply missed.”
In honor of McCallum, below, we’ve compiled the best Ducky episodes of NCIS.
Tumblr media
"Bête Noire" (Season 1 Episode 16)
It’s the episode that introduced rogue Mossad officer and terrorist Ari Haswari (Rudolf Martin), who would go on to deliver a devastating blow to the team by murdering Kate (Sasha Alexander). Here, he sneaks into autopsy in a body bag and takes Ducky and his assistant at the time, Gerald (Pancho Demmings), hostage, and yet, Ducky adapts to the situation and manages to maintain a semblance of control the best he can.
Tumblr media
"Meat Puzzle" (Season 2 Episode 13)
Sure, the first thing that jumps out when we think about this episode are the body parts in barrels and Ducky and Palmer (Brian Dietzen) piecing them together, but we absolutely love going home with Ducky, especially because it means seeing his mother (Nina Foch) and her corgis.
Tumblr media
"Broken Bird" (Season 6 Episode 13)
For all the stories that Ducky tells, it’s not too often that we hear about the more emotional moments from his past, but when a woman attacks him at a crime scene, claiming he killed his brother, he has no choice but to revisit that time. When he was with the Royal Army Medical Corps, he’d volunteered to work in a refugee camp. There was a man known as Mr. Pain, and Ducky tended to his torture victims. Once the team identify Mr. Pain, he and Ducky come face-to-face after years and the truth comes out: Mr. Pain had been torturing Ducky, using the woman’s brother as a weapon to break him, and Ducky had ended his pain to keep him from suffering a slow, agonizing death at the other man’s hands.
Tumblr media
"Phoenix" (Season 10 Episode 3)
There’s no way that Ducky’s just going to sit back and relax while recovering from a heart attack, and instead, he manages to find a case — he realizes that what didn’t sit right about an autopsy he performed from years ago is he didn’t have all the facts to determine the man was murdered — that, thanks to one of Gibbs’ (Mark Harmon) rules, puts him in charge. (Rule 38: Your case, you’re lead.) The best parts: Gibbs and Ducky’s conversation in the former’s basement and Ducky interrogating — using the suspect’s vital signs and with a bit of singing!
Tumblr media
"Detour" (Season 10 Episode 16)
A trip back to NCIS with a body is anything but normal for Ducky and Palmer, who are kidnapped and forced to perform an autopsy in a cabin in the woods. But while the team is looking for them, they manage to MacGyver their way free… though they are being hunted through the woods when the others show up.
Tumblr media
"So It Goes" (Season 12 Episode 3)
It’s the first episode in which we see Adam Campbell as a young Ducky (great casting!), with a case that initially has the doctor thinking an old friend of his is dead. (Sadly, Angus is found dead during the investigation.) Not only does the episode explore that personal part of Ducky’s past, it also reunites him with a lost love (and the reason for a falling out he had with Angus)
Tumblr media
"Spinning Wheel" (Season 13 Episode 11)
Surprise: Ducky had a younger brother! (Even Gibbs didn’t know about Nicholas.) But it’s a heartbreaking tale, with the brothers being separated when they were younger (Nicholas was just a boy) and Ducky thinking the other was dead (then alive, then dead again). But there’s somewhat of a happy ending, with the two eventually reuniting (and Nicholas living in a nursing home with early on-set Alzheimer’s). It’s an episode that allows McCallum to shine.
Tumblr media
"The Tie That Binds" (Season 14 Episode 10)
When Ducky’s old address is found on a victim, it leads to flashbacks of his younger self stumbling upon his mother hiding a man in a closet and then sending that man, who ran cons, away. The most notable scene has to be Ducky talking with his younger self in autopsy as he questioned that decision to send the man away and taking away his mom’s chance of love. (Later, he finds out that she did have a romance in her last years.)
Tumblr media
"Everything Starts Somewhere" (Season 18 Episode 2)
For Episode 400, the CBS procedural delves deep into one of its core relationships and reveals how Gibbs and Ducky met. The case that brought them together links to the one in the (more) present-day storyline. It’s the perfect showcase of the characters’ bond, from its early days to what it’s become.

"Kompromat" & "Black Sky" (Season 20 Episodes 21 & 22)
Ducky might not be in these two episodes much (and it’s all over video, providing key intel for the case), but they’re worth watching for McCallum’s last onscreen appearances on NCIS. He’s in the middle of a 35-city lecture tour in Scotland, and he tells them of a scientist who changed his name to “something from an old television show,” Ivan Kuryakin (The Man From U.N.C.L.E. reference!) As McGee (Sean Murray) puts it, Ducky is “still the best.” Ducky’s response: “I do what I can.” And what that is is something no one else can do.
