more random reijean (and alliance) headcanons
set post-rumbling - not NSFW
- Reiner is soooo shy (someone else said this one, credit where it's due)
-Given that Reiner's a very attractive man, i think it would be funny to see the alliance's reaction to him getting flirted with
- Jean would be jealous as fuck
- speaking of Jean, he either takes on a leader role post rumbling or he sits back and lets Armin do it. I think he steps down from being a leader tbh, because a large part of why he's a leader is because Marco believed in him, and he didn't want to let Marco down... after the finale, though, i think he lets the memory, and himself, rest. He's not going to live his new life ruled by the expectations of ghosts
- Onyonkapon and Levi become pretty good friends, bonding over Hange's memory. Also, levi deserves friends his age.
- Levi and Annie slowly, slowly get over their ghosts. I like to think he forgives her eventually, but for the most part they only acknowledge each other's existence when they're alone.
- i think Annie LOVES tea, so she makes Levi a cup whenever she makes it for herself. It's sort of an apology. She never was taught how to express emotions with words, so she lets her actions speak.
- Armin and Annie are the Cutest. Couple. Connie and Pieck start a betting pool for when they'll officially get together.
- (someone else said this) Levi Gets a Teashop. they all save up money to buy it, and take turns working and cleaning.
- injury was very very common in the military so they're all quite okay with levi being disabled (i feel like this one should go unsaid but I've seen a lot of casual ableism in fics)
- Pieck's dad adopts everyone. He makes them home cooked meals. I think Jean can cook best out of everyone, but they're all military brats and aren't used to Good Food, especially with the paradis food shortage and lack of world trade. Post Rumbling there's very little in terms of available ingredients, but poor people know how to COOK on limited supplies.
- on the subject of food, how would they all react to SPICE??? armin would cry.
- Levi spends so much time with Gabi and Falco, because all the able bodied adults are helping with rebuilding. He teaches them to say fuck.
- Reiner has Zero survival instincts, because he had titan healing. He's the mf that runs with scissors.
- PIECK HAS POTS!! (yes i'm projecting). her body literally can't handle pumping blood when she's standing vertically, because she was horizontal for so long
- Levi is still the grumpiest bitch on the planet but he loves his kids (he eventually comes to see reiner and peick as children-in-law, because he hasn't cared about them for as long)
- Gabi grows up to look like Sasha. Jean and Connie have forgiven her, but they do have a good cry over it one night.

Ek au Chapter one: A small but mighty ally
Archie stood in the shadows of the alleyway as Yumi stepped out of a bakery, holding a paper bag with a fresh loaf of bread. She turned to look at him.
“Why are you always hiding just out of sight here? You were fine the whole way here, and now you’re all jumpy.”
“I don’t want to know what would happen if Squid Coast, the place I ransacked, discovered I was here.”
“Understandable.” Yumi shrugged.
They walked out and barely got away from where they just were when they noticed a hero walk by. He was freakishly tall, at maybe seven feet, and was wearing all dark clothing. His eyes glowed lavender.
His unique looks attracted a lot of attention as he walked to the town square. He stepped up onto some crates as Archie heard whispering on the street.
“What are you doing…?” Some villager asked. A crowd was forming around the man. He held a pink orb in a sceptre. It was Karl.
He started to speak loudly, calling to the villagers in front of him.
“I need your people’s help. I’m on a quest and I need iron, diamonds, and gold.“
“Sir, we don’t have that here. We farm, gather, fish… but we done mine. None of us do.” A fisherman said in the midst crowd.
“You better get them for me. There will be negative consequences otherwise.”
“There are no caves for miles, and still, none of us will mine for you! Some people were forced to work in mines during the arch illagers reign, and won’t enter any cave again.” Another villager called out, “Sorry, but you just cannot get those things here.”
Karl sighed, drawing his sword.
“Well, you asked for this. Okay? This is what happens when you refuse me what I need.”
His hands and sword began to glow. He started to levitate, activating his powerful magic.
Karl smiled, feeling very powerful, and lunged forward, attacking the village. He was setting things ablaze, blowing other things up, and attacking any villagers that were in his range.
Chaos ensued immediately, and people began running around randomly, trying to hide. After shoving her way through the crowd, Yumi hid around a still-standing wall with Archie hiding close behind.
“What the hell are we gonna do?!” Archie asked from behind a crate, “Where can we go where he won’t notice us escaping?!”
“I- uhh…”She sighed, “I have no idea.”
Yumi looked to the tall hero with the orb.
Karl stood back from the flaming village, almost like he was proud of himself. He heard something like the crunch of a leaf from behind and swerved to the side just before a hero could hit him with her staff. Karl grabbed his sword off his back and instantly the two began to fight.
Karl initiated it by simply trying to swing his sword, which she dodged too easily.
Yumi noticed that he was distracted by the blue-clad hero and took it as an opportunity.
“Everyone come with me!!!” She screamed with more command than Archie expected. Upon seeing a leader with a way out, all the villagers that heard her ran with her.
They all understood there was no way to beat Karl like this. Fleeing was their best option. Archie also followed, but stayed hidden as best as he could as they entered the forest.
Meanwhile, back in the village, the battle was still going strong.
Karl repeatedly kept trying to hit the female hero, but all she would do is dodge, block, or fake an attack. She was very small, so dodging was easy.
“C’mon you coward! Fight me!” Karl yelled as he kept trying to fight her, as she would simply evade and block with her quarterstaff.
Karl realized something right then.
His arms were starting to burn. His movements slower and with less finesse. He was getting tired. Quickly.
The hero, unfortunately, noticed. She started to give small attacks, to make him fight back, and, after she could see clearly he was getting fatigued, attacked in that instant with the ferocity of a wolf.
Now Karl understood her strategy, and was not happy about it. She had energy and stamina on her side now.
He held his sword in defence but only managed to block one part of the pattern, letting her kick him hard in the leg. She started to aggressively attack, and Karl was having many issues defending.
He was starting to get very hurt when he heard the orb, speaking from the sceptre on his back.
‘Let me show you something.’
“Kinda busy right now…” Karl breathed so Quinn wouldn’t hear.
‘Do you want to make it out of this fight alive? You’re clearly losing. Let me help you.’
Karl thought for a second.
“Okay.” He said. “Do it.”
‘Let her face me.’
The hero was confused when Karl turned his back to her, which is always a bad idea in battle, but as soon as she saw the orb she realized what may happen. A blue beam shot out of it, hitting her square in the forehead. She collapsed immediately, unconscious.
“Jeez!” Karl said, jumping back, but wincing from the pain his injuries created.
‘She’s fine. It only knocks you out. We must leave. The orb said. Let’s go.’
Karl walked away from the scene, into the rising sun.
~~~
Back where the villagers were, they were running, but eventually slowed to a stop in the creeper woods.
“How many do we have?” Archie asked, out of breath. He stood behind the dense bushes, trying not to be noticed by the villagers.
“Around half. I have no idea where the others are…” Yumi responded. She walked away coldly, saying no more. Archie could tell even from when he found her again that she did not feel the same way to him. He did not blame her. He didn’t feel the same way towards himself, either.
After a couple of minutes, she came back. Archie peeked between the leaves of the bush as she began to command once again.
“It seems the hero is gone. I think we should go back to scavenge and find survivors.” Yumi announced, standing on a tree stump.
“And why should we listen to you, Yumi?” A farmer stepped forward. Salah. Another villager, much younger, tried to tell him something, but he quickly dismissed him.
“Not now, Axis. I have to deal with her first.” He whispered, “Now, Yumi, you tried to help that forsaken illager. Look where it got us. Now you think you have the authority to tell us what to do?”
“As the one who saved you from that hero, yes. Yes I do.”
“Well think again. Everyone! Let’s go back the the village, scavenge what we can and look for survivors.” Salah commanded. Everyone followed him back, leaving Archie and a very frustrated Yumi.
All the survivors of the village got back together, scavenging for remnants of resources and supplies and looking for survivors, just as Salah said.
Yumi slowly walked with Archie. She sighed, showing no emotions on her face. As they exited the woods, she looked to the field where Karl was standing and watching the village burn. He was gone.
However, there was something moving in the distance.
“Is there someone over there?” Yumi asked.
“Yeah. I see it too. Who is that hero?” Archie asked.
“Might as well ask. I’m pretty sure that’s who Karl was fighting was we ran away. Might thank them too for buying us time.”
So they came up to the hero.
“Hi! We’re survivors of this village raid and we were wondering if you could help us put a stop to that guy you fought earlier.”
The hero just looked at them, still coming out of her magic induced daze from when the orb knocked her out.
They stared at each other for a few seconds.
‘Maybe she doesn’t speak villager?’ Archie thought.
“Let me talk to her.” He said, walking up.
Archie spoke very slowly, using large hand gestures to describe each word.
“We… want… you… to help… us.” He said.
She gave him a puzzled look as she became fully aware.
‘Did she understand a word I just said?!’ Archie asked himself.
“Why are you doing that? You sound like an idiot.” She said in his language. Her accent was one he had never heard before.
He felt like an idiot.
Yumi just laughed. The lady smiled.
“Yeah, people never expect me to speak villager for some reason. Who are you guys?”
“I’m Archie, and this is Yumi.” Yumi came up to the two. She nodded her head.
“Hi.” She said.
“I’m Quinn.” She held out a hand and he shook it. She got up soon after. Archie was surprised to see that the hero reached just barely above his height.
She noticed how they looked at her.
“Don’t say I’m short. I’m well aware of that.” She said. The three stood in the field.
“So you said you wanted help stopping Karl?”
“His names Karl?”
“Yeah.”
“Well- yeah. You saw what he did. We’re gonna need all the help we can get.”
