post-canon reikasa please if that's okay ❤️
that's a-okay! i'm sorry this is my first time writing reikasa, so it's not the best thing i've ever written. this is more or less where it would begin for the two of them. now I’m intrigued to explore them a little more. hope you enjoy!
The house was nowhere near big enough to bed everyone, but they made it work. Mikasa didn’t mind sleeping on the couch. Most nights, it was easier than sleeping in her bedroom. The bedroom that she used to share with Eren.
“Are you sure you don’t need anything?” Annie asked as she was washing the dishes.
Mikasa shook her head, “No. Go sleep, you must be exhausted.”
Annie didn’t put up much of a fight as she disappeared up the ladder.
She thought it might be easier with everyone here, but it was a little harder. Being with their old friends, sharing the memories, and knowing well what that meant. She was also happy for Armin and Annie but there was that dull pain in her heart. Though, there was a small comfort in knowing that he was okay.
At least one of us got our happily ever after…
She finished the dishes and noticed that the front door was slightly creaked open. She walked over to close it but she noticed a large, hulking figure and she’d know that figure anywhere…
“She stepped into the warm summer air and found Reiner standing there, a cigarette between his fingers.
He turned his head, a little startled but made no effort to conceal what he was doing.
“You haven’t slept yet?” he asked a little sheepishly.
“No. Didn’t know you smoked,” she responded, closing the door behind her.
“Not often, but sometimes…”
It was odd. He’d cleaned up. He looked younger, even. He looked less burdened but there were ghosts in his eyes, as she imagined there were in everyone else’s.
The truth was, they hadn’t really talked much before now. Sure they’d trained together, fought each other, and then fought alongside each other, but they’d never actually talked. He’d mentioned to her that she haunted his nightmares sometimes and she honestly found that kind of funny.
“You look good, though,” he said suddenly and Mikasa looked at him, shocked.
“Oh, um, thanks, so do you?”
It was high summer at this so her cheeks were burning. Damn.
There was a smile on his face, “Heh, thanks. Also your cooking is delicious. Where’d you learn to cook like that?”
There was a pang of longing in her chest. It was a simple question but one that reminded her of just how much she’d lost, “My mom. And…Auntie Carla.”
A shadow passed through his features. He suddenly looked so guilty and Mikasa wasn’t about to continue on that train of thought. Yes, a lot of the misery started that day thirteen years ago, but they all had blood on their hands and things to feel guilty about.
Her heart was still six feet below in a grave on the hill of the man who’d done much worse.
“Well, it was good. Can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow,” he went on with a chuckle. She found herself smiling.
Was he always like that?
She’d never gotten a good look at him before. She just remembered that he looked older than his years and now that the curse wasn’t weighing him down, he looked…good. Good and manly.
Wait…
Oh, suddenly she was feeling quite tired.
“I laid out a bed for you downstairs. Hope you don’t mind sharing the space with Jean and Connie,” she said. He didn’t respond.
Before she disappeared back into the house, Reiner’s voice stopped her.
“I could walk with you to the baker tomorrow. I know you said you needed to go. And then maybe we could walk around the town a little bit.”
“Of course,” she answered a little too quickly.
He turned to give her a smile over his shoulder which she returned.
Weird. She was inside where it was nice and cool but her cheeks were still burning…

Hello everyone!! Thank you all for 200 followers (on Twitter lol)! It means a lot to us.
Reminder to vote on our prompt form in the case that you haven’t.
As some of you may be aware, we have recently been receiving feedback on ship participation for this event. After tons of discussions, thinking it over, and even though we would ideally like to please as many shippers as possible, we have made a tiny banlist. Banlist are commonly used for rare pair weeks events. The banlist is included in our carrd so you can read it there. Since we figured some of you may ask, yes you are allowed to use your banned ship for a poly ship as long as it is a true poly ship (not a love triangle etc).
The under 400 fic rules stays as promoted from the start, and as voted to stay by the majority of you recently. We figured it is best to keep it that way anyway to avoid confusion for participants. Furthermore, your ship does not automatically qualify for the event even if it falls under the 400 fic rule. Check our tiny banlist for more info. No, we will not be adding or subtracting ships from our banlist.
We know now it is impossible to please everyone. We also apologize for trying to include popular aottwt ships initially. This isn’t the case anymore, so no worries for those who were concerned about being overshadowed. We have noticed just how special and unique the attack on titan fandom really is. Ships could have little fanfiction but have a huge fanbase, others could have a lot of fanfiction but a smaller fanbase. Some ships are mentioned even by casual watchers and have no community within the fandom at all. Nonetheless this event is catered to rare ships or those ships with small communities and has always been from the start, so we have had to put some restrictions.
Our Curious Cat will no longer be allowing anonymous questions, at least not in the mean time. We appreciate everyone for their feedback but the mods are real people with real feelings and we fear some of you are crossing the line behind the screen. It is our first ship week organized by us so we just ask everyone to be patient and keep it discourse/drama free. For our next event, we will be doing a feedback survey to see how we can make the event better for all of you but for now we will not be doing additional changes or revisions. Moving forward, if you guys have any questions or comments, you guys can still message us on curious cat or just DM us! We still have time until Valentines Day weekend to make this a successful and fun ship week for everyone. We wish everyone to have a wonderful weekend <3
