#armin is a tired supportive bestie

[crisalidaseason]

Look, I'm really gay and a simp for Mikasa. Also, I've been obsessed with Royalty tropes. This thing came out of my brain as a result. Hope you enjoy it, I guess.

⚠️ Warning ⚠️: Mikasa being a chaotically cute and oblivious, me being gay af and simping for her. Eren being clueless but supportive nonetheless. OH, this is very sapphic. Not proofread at all, that's just a self indulgent story that I vomited on my phone's keyboard

Princess reader who gets an arranged marriage with prince Eren Jaeger. Both Eren and the princess are miserable with this situation. Eren wants to be a traveler and explore the world's hidden mysteries. The princess wants to be free from the duty of marriage and child bearing.

Unfortunately, princess and Eren get married. They make an agreement to act as a couple only to the public, but never in private. They become good friends with time and learn to appreciate each other's companies and advice.

One day, an assassination attempt endangers the princess's life and Eren decides that she needs more personal protection. He sends a letter to his sister, Mikasa, a well known strong shield maiden and also a very trusted person. Mikasa agrees to look after her brother's wife.

What Mikasa didn't expect is to find the princess extremely ethereal and beautiful. She tries to play it off as normal because everyone simps for a princess from time to time (right? It's normal, right?).

Princess is utterly in love with Mikasa. As soon as Eren introduced his sister, the princess was too focused on how beautiful and divine the dark haired woman looked. That moment the princess knew she had to get that cutie for herself.

The princess wore the most beautiful dresses, perfumed herself, braided and decorated her hair. She made sure to look pretty for her shield maiden. Everyday they would go for a peaceful stroll around the gardens, talking about the gossip from the previous day. In the afternoons, the princess would take Mikasa to the library and read books with her. In the evenings, the princess insisted that Mikasa sat beside her during dinner. Eren was a little confused but happy that his sister and wife were friends.

One day, Mikasa has to travel for a small mission assigned by her brother. The princess gets really sad, but understands it. Eren assures her that the trip will only last a week and Mikasa will be back very soon. The princess patiently waits, and waits and waits.

After two weeks, a group of shield man come back with a wounded Mikasa and all hell breaks loose. Eren is worried because his sister is almost invulnerable and the princess is worried she won't make it. Fortunately, Mikasa is stable and will recover soon.

During her recovery, the princess wouldn't leave Mikasa on her own. She takes care of her wounds and feeds her when she isn't feeling strong enough to do so. While Mikasa sleeps, the princess kisses her forehead and tells her "I love you" thinking the shield maiden is not listening.

Mikasa of course hears that, but doesn't say anything because she is confused and not sure she wasn't hallucinating. She recovers and everything goes back to normal, but those three words torment the shield maiden's mind.

Mikasa looks for signs that the princess might have romantic feelings for her. All the while she feels guilty because Eren is her husband. She doesn't want to hurt her brother's feelings by pursuing his wife.

All the while Eren is a little too dumb to notice both women are clearly head over heels for one another. It takes Armin to actually tell him "bro, they're in love we have to do something because I can't take this anymore" (let's say Mikasa likes to barge Armin's chambers and complain that the princess is so cute, and pretty, and lovely).

Eren and Armin make a plan (more like Armin does all the planning and Eren is the moral support) to send both women to a very beautiful and secluded castle owned by the Jaeger family. They tell both girls is a safety measure and Mikasa completely agrees to take the princess there.

The princess and her shield maiden arrive on the castle and have a lot of fun walking around and exploring the library and the surrounding forest. They decide to have a picnic and end up kissing, with only the sunset as their witness.

When they arrive back home, Eren and Mikasa have a conversation. Eren tells his sister he doesn't have feelings for the princess and that he would be more than happy to have his sister and friend be married.

In the end, Mikasa and the princess get married with Eren and Armin as witnesses (Armin got his license to marry and unmarry people). Eren and princess are still married to the public, but in private she is Mikasa's wife.

GIVE ME. FRIENDSHIP/RELATIONSHIP DYNAMIC HCS

for example AruAni gives off “I hate everybody but I hate you less” energy

literally any duo/trio/group you want just plz. I love them and I have my own ideas but wanna see yours ✌️💋

ohoho here we go.... this is gonna be a long one

AOT pairings + their dynamics

no warnings

eren / mikasa (romantic): the crime fighting duo

they can and they will mess up anyone and everyone who fucks with them. the kind of duo that seems to bond the most when they’re being violent and they want to make you scream “JUST CONFESS YOUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER, FOOLS” and the slowburn is far too painful on the soul

eren / armin (platonic): the bad guy and the virtuous ray of sunshine

armin is the sweetest creature to grace this world and eren is literally the opposite but somehow they’re compatible. eren acts emotionally unavailable but good god armin brings out even the most buried emotion in him through his blinding rays of obnoxious joy and caring. obviously this didn’t last forever

eren / levi (platonic): the obnoxious child and the tired parent

somebody please give levi a break. it’s difficult being a single mother of six especially when you’re a middle aged man and one of your children is a war criminal.

sasha / connie (open to interpretation): the dumb & dumber mutual enablers

where one goes, the other goes. what trouble one gets into, the other gets into. they enable each other’s chaos and general misdeeds and will sit next to each other in a jail cell awaiting levi to bail them out while giggling and saying “wasn’t that fun?”

sasha / reiner (platonic): the eccentric girl and her emotional support himbo

one is a ball of chaos with a soft spot and the other is (relatively) normal but is also a chaos enabler. they feed off of each other's energy and are just about the closest thing you can get to the human equivalents of a bull and a matador but they also rely on each other for emotional support

armin / annie (romantic): pure looking (but hella shady) and scary looking (but actually a softie)

they are definitely not what either of them appear to be. the gentle little ball of sunshine is actually a scheming bastard and the one that looks like she’ll beat you up just for looking at her the wrong way is actually very soft at heart. and they are in love of course

jean / armin (platonic): the delinquent and the keener

jean used to skip, get bad grades, and get in trouble a lot but eventually worked on becoming a lot better because of armin’s enthusiasm and borderline annoying encouragement. on the other hand armin loosened up a lot and became less strict thanks to jean’s easy going attitude and they help each other improve themselves :’)

jean / connie (platonic): the dumbass and “oh god I guess they’re MY dumbass”

connie is like a dog without a leash and jean is the wrangler that desperately tries to keep him at least relatively tame. although sometimes it’s hard to keep somebody in check while also not wanting to give into their shenanigans and enable them

connie / reiner (platonic): the idiot and the idiot in progress

one has been an idiot since birth and it shows. meanwhile the other is losing more brain cells the more time they spend together. they feed off of each other’s energy and channel it into chaos and misdeeds

historia / ymir (romantic): the loner and the popular chick

historia is one of the few people who actually notices ymir, who doesn’t get the hype about her at first but warms up to her over time. they seem like polar opposites to anyone on the outside so it might be hard to tell that they’re very compatible with each other and lowkey enable each other

hange / levi (open to interpretation): the hooligan and the voice of reason

hange is the big bad conniving bastard and levi is the poor sod that has been dragged into their mess and was hit with a sudden and painful realization that he’s in deep trouble in every possible sense of the word. they are of equal strength except one has rabies

erwin / levi (open to interpretation): the kind giant and the bundle of repressed rage

one will make impulsive decisions on a dime and the other is the only one that can keep him grounded, at least most of the time. one is easy going the other is seething with buried anger and they balance each other out. however both would throw hands if anyone got between them

levi / zeke (open to interpretation): enemies to acquaintances to friends to ???

nobody knows what they truly think about each other and they probably don’t either. they’ll be fighting tooth and nail one moment then probably go out to get lunch an hour later. it’s a bit rocky, but they’ll figure it out eventually

reiner / bertholdt (romantic): two bros chillin in a hot tub 5 feet apart because they won’t confess their undying love for each other

literally everyone can sense the mutual pining from a mile away but they’re both so dense and oblivious for the longest time until they get things sorted and confess. one has too much pride to risk losing and the other is scared to ruin their relationship. this pairing will test both your patience and your sanity

reiner / eren (platonic): rivals to dumbass bros

most of the time they can’t stand each other and will argue with no end in sight but other times they’ll be slumped against each other or one will be sprawled out across the other and they’re having deep conversations and watching tv. it’s really a hit or miss situation

reiner / ymir (platonic): the gay solidarity

the mlm and wlw solidarity is real and it shows. they’re both jerks who only really have each other in terms of close friendships but by all means it’s an unbreakable bond

reiner / armin (platonic): honorarily deemed “one of the boys”

they have some kind of solidarity but neither of them really knows what it is, they just get along really well for some reason. thus reiner has deemed armin officially one of the boys and is included in activities w the boys e.g. movie night. they have a lot of inside jokes

reiner / zeke / bertholdt (platonic): the pining couple and the third wheel

reiner and bertholdt won’t admit it to his face because it would boost his ego tenfold but they’re lowkey kinda scared of zeke. but zeke is just a himbo that kind of hangs around and judges them and can tell they’re in love and is just waiting for the day they admit it

bertholdt / armin (platonic): the pessimist and the optimist

they’re both very pure sweet besties except one is a cynic and the other focuses on all the joy in the world. fill in the blanks.

pieck / porco (open to interpretation): the cinnabun and the hothead

one is too sweet and wholesome to be alive and the other is perpetually angry but is still cute. the contrast shows but they’re still sweethearts that are obviously meant to balance each other out

porco / reiner (platonic): the bastard and the accidental bastard magnet

they started as enemies and slowly evolved into something vaguely reminiscent of... friends? yeah, friends. reiner doesn’t know how he keeps attracting assholes like this but for some godforsaken reason he puts up with it.

[sunlightandsuffering]

Yikes I scroll through my dash to find anons bitching and whining at you for your interpretations of Eren in a MODERN AU. Keyword is AU. Same with modern Mikasa like wow guys if you don’t like it, please don’t read. Making people feel bad about their fun is a special brand of shitty. ANYWAY you’re probably tired of hearing that so onto my actual question. What would it be like if we had Whore Eren and Hoe Mikasa in one au where they’re besties but they’ve been hooking up since they were teenagers and they’re each other’s regulars but for some reason neither have figured out that they’re in love with each other. They just both really love sex and sex is fun even when it’s mediocre lol. But like it’s always the best sex they get and then they like talk to their other friends like, “what if we exclusively only fucked each other like with feelings and stuff?” And their friend are like “uh you mean like A RELATIONSHIP?” (True story, actually happened with two friends I had, god they were so dumb)

Honest to god mood anon 🤧 AU! But I appreciate all the support boo 💕💕💕but OMG I CANT BELIEVE THATS A REAL THING THAT HAPPENED TO UR FRIENDS THATS SO FUNNY 😂😂😂 IDK tho that’s kinda what I’ve been imagining lately like when they’re both whores kinda looking at each other like damn the sex is pretty good huh 👀👀👀 SO DUMB! They propose it to their friend group so as not to fuck up the dynamic bc everyone knows they’re both promiscuous as fuck and everyone is just staring at them “you mean like dating?” Eren is like no, I mean sort of but no

Armin: PLEASE EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE

They stutter for like 5 minutes trying to explain that it’s DIFFERENT but they’re friends just tel them to get it together and after they’re just sitting there like wow u want to date me? And they both make fun of each other about it bc DATING they don’t DATE! But the they’re like fuck maybe we do date? But they don’t get jealous easily, doesn’t bother them, they make fun of each other’s conquests, bisexual Mikasa tho would be so funny in this AU 🥵 she’s like fucked her and Eren is like OMG NO WAY ME TOO! And then they talk a lot of shit bc Eren claims he’s better in bed and Mikasa says over her dead fucking body.

[crisalidaseason]

I was feeling a little silly and wanted some pain, so here we have strained eren/mikasa/armin relationship with lots of angst. Also not proofread at all because I have a fever

Content warning: the trio's relationship is not good, Mikasa and Armin are still besties though, Eren is being mean, so is Armin, Armin is angry, really angry and mean, Armin is a Mikasa protector, platonic Arumika, Eremin if you squint, Eren and Mikasa are siblings here (no romantic thing going on between them), no happy ending, canonverse, blank period between S3/S4

Song rec: I hate everything about you by Three Days Grace

A knock on his door distracted Armin from his papers.

"Come in" he said, already aware of who it was.

Mikasa entered the room quietly, closing the door and resting against it.

"Good evening" he said, turning on his chair and facing her.

She did not reply, which was her usual behavior. Instead both remained frozen, waiting for the woman's next move. Armin had known her long enough to not elicit anything from her, she would speak when ready.

"Do you want some tea? The kettle is still warm enough" he offered, already expecting the 'no'.

"Why is he like that? Why?"

Armin sighed. It always came down to him lately. Always Eren, Eren, Eren. He was tired of it.

"I know" Armin replied, pouring tea in his empty mug.

"He thinks he's being so smart!" she said, louder than usual but still lower than others would.

"If only he was smart" Armin commented "we would not be here right now, discussing how stupid he is"

"Does he really think that treating us badly will lessen any pain?"

It was a rant. Armin learned that Mikasa rarely wanted an actual conversation when she was agitated. He calculated that maybe a few minutes of venting was needed before she was actually ready to listen to any sort of argumentative points.

"He was so unecessarily rude to Sasha and Connie today, and also all the times he just ignores us whenever we want to talk with him"

Eren's behavior towards his comrades was becoming acid by the day. A slow change, started by long periods of isolation and silence, followed by his volatile temper that often resulted in rude comments.

"I am still fucking pissed at what he told you last meeting, I've been trying to make him apologize-"

"He won't and I also don't want it" Armin interrupted "Besides, he owes you more apologies than I can count"

She stopped ranting. Maybe, just maybe, Armin's sudden loud voice caught her off guard. He sighed again, whenever he was mentioned Armin had a tendency to let his anger show.

"Sorry" he said "didn't mean to be loud"

"No" she said "you should"

She walked towards him, leaning against the table.

"Maybe be loud at him next time, he tells you all those things and you just take it"

Oh no, he did not, but if Armin genuinely exposes his emotions, he will loose control. Whenever Eren disrespected someone, but specially his sister, Armin feared the urge he felt to hurt his childhood friend. In multiple occasions he wanted nothing more than break Eren's face, even if he knew the result would be himself being the one hurt.

"There is no use in arguing with him. He thinks being loud and angry means he's right, and I don't argue with people like that"

"I should have punched harder" she whispered.

It was a remarkable punch, Armin recalled. She was never one to hurt someone for the smallest reasons, but Eren was a victim of her fist a few times due to his tendencies of being...selfcentered.

"Being hurt never worked with Eren Jaeger" Armin laughs bitterly "sometimes I think he enjoys it"

"Something is wrong with him"

Armin did not have an answer. Eren was acting strange and nobody knew exactly why.

"if he is trying to push us away" Armin replied "the plan is working, I can't stand looking at him sometimes"

"He is still Eren, we can't just let him wander away"

"He is not the friend we supported all this time. Whoever that man is, he supressed the one we knew" Armin said.

___

"Can we speak?" the blond's voice was low.

He found Eren in one of the training squares rather early in the morning. The blond was preparing to pick his personal mail up in the city when he saw what was once his close friend. Eren did not aknowledge Armin, which was becoming usual of him.

"Mikasa is worried" Armin said again.

"Tell her to stop then" he replied.

"Meaningless answer, as always" Armin whispered loud enough so Eren could hear "I'll be quick. I'll tolerate your unreasonable behavior, but I won't tolerate if you direct it to Mikasa. Pretend to be civil around her and suck up whatever stupid shit goes in your head"

"So mean" Eren's voice was full of scorn.

Armin did not indulge him, knowing well how Eren communicated.

"I'm serious" Armin said "no amount of ackerbond will fix things if she lets you go, and I will support her if she decides to leave you"

"She can't do it, even if she wanted to. She is enslaved to this shit"

"Not for much longer, I hope. Our time is near, and yours is very close"

Armin would later regret his last sentence, knowing full well how Eren was still hurt over the 13-year limit. Unfortunately, Armin wanted to cause pain, he wanted to hurt Eren. It was horrible of him to do so, but he was hurting the same.

___

The blonde genuinely thought his conversation with Eren, if you could call it a conversation, did not work. He was convinced Eren would just ignore what Armin said, until he saw Eren speaking with her during dinner. He could not understand what they spoke off, both sitting in a distant table.

"Do you think he is apologizing?" Sasha asked Armin.

The two siblings were never known for having deep conversations. That was something they came to Armin for, but never to one another, prefering to use some sort of silent agreement. Armin could see some words being exchanged though.

"Probably not" the blond said "he was never good at it before all of this"

"He better" Jean said "I'm done with him making you and Mikasa walk on eggshells whenever he is near"

"Jean, leave it" Armin warned "let me and Mikasa handle it"

"He needs help" Sasha said "something is wrong and he is not well"

"I know, Sasha, but he makes it very difficult"

And I am too angry all the time to actually try, Armin bitterly thought.

___

"We need to talk"

Armin was very surprised. For months Eren never seeked Armin to talk, specially in private. To see the taller man on his door, eyes on the ground and anxious feet, was a sight to behold.

Now you wanna talk, Armin almost said.

Instead, the blond only motioned for him to enter and close the door. Armin turned back to his papers, not facing the other man. Eren had lost the right to speak to him face to face a while ago.

"Speak" he said.

Eren remained silent for a few minutes, long enough that the blonde wondered if he left the room.

"You were never like this" Eren said "angry"

"I'm not angry" Armin shot back a bit too fast.

Eren's laugh was bitter.

"I felt anger my entire life, Armin, you can't fool me on this" he said "you are angry, very angry"

"Do you even have a point with this?" Armin said.

"See? This is what I'm talking about"

Armin stood up quickly, pressing his knuckles on the table to hold his temper.

"Do you expect me to be happy or neutral about all of this? to not be livid at you?"

"I don't expect anything from anyone, I just..."

"Just what? My patience is running thin, Eren"

"None of you will ever understand what I see, what I dream about"

"Because you never cared to explain!" Armin turned to face Eren, voice already rising "You go around sulking, isolating yourself, acting strange out of nowehere. Of course we won't understand what you don't explain!"

"If I explain you will hate me!" Eren yelled.

"What makes you think I don't hate you already?"

Silence filled Armin's room. The blond was already regretting his words, but again, we was hurt, he wanted to hurt.

"You don't. Mikasa doesn't either" Eren said "You wouldn't spare me a thought if you did"

"Don't worry, it won't take too long if you keep the stupid behavior"

"It's easier this way, and you will understand that later. I promise"

The taller man turned to leave the blond's room, but before he could even open the door, Armin spoke.

"Eren"

He looked back at Armin, waiting.

"If that is your decision I won't stop you, and you still have my support for anything military related" he said.

Eren nodded, turning again.

"But don't hurt her, Eren" he said "If you do, there will be nothing but hate in my heart"
