Modern AU request. Petra's birthday is coming up and Levi and Zeke cross paths at the same mall to buy her present
where levi is frustrated, zeke is a menace, and petra is an angel as always. hope you enjoy!
the perfect gift
rivetra. high school au. 2002 words. read on ao3.
Birthday gifts are the bane of Levi’s existence. He usually doesn’t care for them, either giving or receiving them. If he’s the one doing the giving, he’ll usually find something inoffensive but useful like a notebook or a ballpoint pen, but he can’t opt for his usual method of purchasing gifts this time. This time the recipient is Petra, whose birthday is coming up next week. Levi isn’t sure he believes in the five or seven or however many acts of love there are that Hanji keeps blabbing about, but he’s not confident enough in his ability to properly catch Petra’s attention without Hanji’s advice to ignore them completely. According to Hanji, giving Petra the perfect birthday present is key to moving towards a serious romantic relationship with the ginger, and Levi doesn’t want to take any chances of souring their current relationship by giving a thoughtless present he’d give anyone. This is how he finds himself at the mall, one of the places he hates the most because it’s always crowded, noisy, and littered with garbage by people who can’t be bothered to find the nearest trashcan.  
He walks aimlessly through the mall, floating like a ghost from one store to the other because everything seems unsatisfactory in his eyes. There are things that he likes personally: desk organizers, scented hand sanitizers, and wireless headphones. He’s not sure any of those are things Petra likes. He’s sure she would be pleased with anything he got her, but that somehow makes it even more difficult for Levi to decide what to get her. He doesn’t want something that Petra will be okay with. He wants something that will surprise her and show that he had put in special thought in purchasing her gift, something that will make her pleasantly surprised.  
Levi flips through a rack of women’s sweaters and grumbles to himself. He moves to a different rack and is about to rifle through the coats there when he sees Zeke Jaeger staring down at him like a hawk.  
“Jesus fuck!” Levi jumps back in surprise. He’s not sure if he’s so tired and grumpy that he’s hallucinating Zeke in front of him, but Zeke doesn’t disappear so Levi can only assume that this is real. He scowls up at Zeke. “What the fuck are you doing here?”  
“You might want to watch your language. There are children here,” Zeke says, but Levi couldn’t care less about the kids being dragged by their moms to go Christmas shopping. Zeke doesn’t seem at all deterred by the dirty look Levi is giving him and goes on browsing the rack of coats between him and Levi. “I’m looking for a birthday present for Petra, the same as you.”  
It’s impossible that Zeke had known beforehand that Levi was shopping for Petra’s birthday present at the mall today. The fact that they are crossing paths at the same store with the same goal in mind is purely coincidence, but Levi is convinced that Zeke has somehow masterminded a nefarious plot to bump into him and throw him off course. Everything Zeke does, whether intentional or not, annoys Levi to no end. If Zeke hangs around him long enough, Levi knows he’ll grab the closest thing and buy it on impulse just to get away from the annoying high school baseball pitcher. He needs to escape.  
“Well, I hope you buy the shittiest present ever,” Levi says ever so eloquently before turning on his heel and exiting the store.  
Levi finds himself at a Japanese store that sells cute plush toys and other little knickknacks. He decides to inspect the plush toys one by one, picking them up and squishing them. He’s sure Petra would be content with any of them, but he can’t tell which one would be the best. To be honest, they all look the same to him — big eyes, fluffy, vibrantly colored. He puts the plush puppy he was examining down and reaches out for the black cat plush when someone else reaches out and grabs it. Annoyed, Levi looks over, not at all expecting to see Zeke beside him.  
“Are you following me?” Levi asks incredulously.  
“Hm?” Zeke turns his head and raises his eyebrows when his gaze lands on Levi as if surprised to see him. “Oh, Levi. What a coincidence running into you here. These plush toys are pretty cute, don’t you think? Petra would probably like these.”  
Levi narrows his eyes at Zeke. “I’m leaving,” he announces and then storms off to another store.  
This time, Levi doesn’t enter the store next door. He seeks refuge in a shop a few stores down, looking behind his shoulder to make sure that Zeke doesn’t follow him. Levi finds himself in a home goods store, which isn’t where he imagined himself shopping but he decides it’s better than being in the same shop as Zeke Jaeger. He gravitates towards the dishware, finding the mugs promising.  
Levi isn’t sure if he should go for a mug with a simple, practical print or a mug with a cute design. The mugs with unique designs, like animal faces or sparkles, are sweet, but he’s not sure they match Petra very much. On the other hand, the simpler designs seem to generic and less thoughtful. Levi frowns, putting down the snowflake print mug he was considering, and decides to wander through a different aisle to see if anything else catches his eye. It shouldn’t be a surprise when he finds Zeke in the next aisle, but Levi still jumps when he sees him. 
“You are following me,” Levi hisses. 
Zeke’s eyes widen as he feigns innocence. “I have no idea what you’re talking about, Levi. I just thought that it might be good to get Petra dishware as a gift and thought I’d take a look around here. It seems like we have similar ideas with the way we keep running into each other.” The bastard even has the audacity to chuckle, but Levi doesn’t even crack a smile. 
“I’m warning you: fuck off,” Levi says before leaving in a huff.  
Of course, Zeke does not heed Levi’s warning. Zeke seems to enjoy provoking Levi as much as possible, although Levi isn’t sure if it’s because he sees Levi as his romantic rival for Petra’s affections or he's made it his personal mission to annoy Levi as much as possible, appearing at Levi’s side every time Levi thinks he’s finally lost the him.  
Levi’s trip to the mall becomes less of a quest to find the perfect gift for Petra and more of a horror game where he tries to escape Zeke once and for all. At first, Levi tries to escape to useful shops, shops that are far apart but would still have things that he might be able to purchase as a birthday present for Petra, but Zeke finds him each time. Levi then tries his luck at more niche shops that sell things he would never buy Petra for her birthday: luggage stores that sell different sized suitcases, mattress stores that sell everything from metal spring mattresses to memory foam mattresses, and art stores that offer oil paintings that range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Somehow, Zeke finds Levi in all these stores, too, strolling in with such nonchalance and commenting about how he hopes he’ll find the perfect gift for Petra here, and each time Levi storms out in a huff.  
Levi takes his chances and decides to hide in an arcade. There’s nothing to purchase there in terms of gifts, and the $20 entry fee is worth it if it allows him to escape from Zeke if only for an hour or two. Levi passes the time, half-heartedly playing Whack-a-Mole and Dance Dance Revolution, and is pleasantly surprised when Zeke never shows up. It seems like he’s finally thrown the annoying baseball pitcher off his trail.  
Filled with a newfound confidence, Levi decides to take his chances out in the mall and exits the arcade. He’s not sure where he’s going to go, but maybe he can explore one of the stores he had browsed through too quickly when he was being pursued by Zeke. Levi decides on going back to the jewelry store when he turns and bumps into someone even more surprising than Zeke.  
“Levi!” Petra looks equally surprised to see Levi. Normally, she would be smiling by now and waving at him, but she looks shocked and Levi wonders if he’s offended Petra somehow by running into her outside of school. “What are you doing here?”  
“I’m -” Levi begins before stopping himself. He can’t tell Petra he’s here shopping for her birthday present. That would ruin the element of surprise. His only choice is to stand there awkwardly as he thinks of a lie to tell her. In the end, he can’t even come up with a fake explanation and answers lamely, “I’m just browsing.”  
“Oh,” Petra says. She’s standing there not even making eye contact with him. She’s normally chatty, but she doesn’t even bother making conversation. Maybe she’s always been this aloof towards him and he’s just never noticed. Maybe she had only been polite and conversational because they were in class. Maybe she’d only be annoyed to receive a birthday gift from him and going gift shopping was a terrible idea.  
Levi is about to excuse himself to spare them both from having do endure this painful silence any longer when Petra speaks.  
“Do you want to watch a movie together?” Petra blurts out.  
“I - yes,” Levi answers, surprised. It’s not at all what he had expected her to say, but he is pleasantly surprised at the spontaneous invitation. He clears his throat. “Is there anything you wanted to watch?”  
“Um, no. I just thought it would be nice since, you know, we’re both here,” Petra says, and she finally smiles at him. Her smile is surprisingly reserved, almost shy. “I think it’d be fun to watch a movie together.”  
“Okay,” Levi says. He gestures for Petra to walk alongside him and the two head in the direction of the movie theater. He’s not sure what’s playing in theaters right now or if they even have anything good, but he doesn’t think it’ll matter. If he can spend time with Petra, that’s all he cares about.  
The two walk in comfortable silence in the direction of the movie theaters.  
“You know, I actually came here to buy you a birthday present today,” Petra confesses. She grins ruefully at Levi. “I was really thrown off to see you here. I wasn’t expecting to see you at all … but I’m kind of glad I ran into you.”  
Levi feels the back of his neck flush in pleasant surprise at Petra’s confession. He feels the same way, of course, but is too emotionally stunted to ever utter something so honest. Instead, the best he can manage is, “I was also trying to buy a birthday present for you.”  
“Oh!” Petra says, and she looks genuinely surprised, even slightly embarrassed. Her cheeks are flushed a pretty pink and she waves her hands in alarm. “Oh, gosh! You really don’t have to get me a present or anything.”  
Levi observes her carefully. He has no doubt that she’s being sincere, but he doesn’t feel right about not getting Petra anything for her birthday. He walks alongside her without saying anything for a moment and then asks, “Can I take you out on your birthday instead?”  
“Take me out?” Petra repeats. 
“On a date,” Levi says. He says the last word carefully, watching Petra and gauging her reaction.  
“Oh, I’d … I’d really like that,” Petra says, flushing happily. Her hand waves almost helplessly at her side as if Petra wants to reach out towards him but is too hesitant to make contact. 
“Great.” Levi holds out his hand and waits for Petra to place her hand in his, interlacing their fingers together. “It’s a date.”

I love the Rivetra and to console myself that it is real I like to ask the opinion of other fans to ship 😂. Do you also think that there were romantic feelings on both sides? If yes, why ?
Hello!
So sorry it's taken me so long to respond to this!
I think that what is so amazing about the characters of Levi and Petra in aot, how they are presented in both the manga and anime is that it can be read either way! The thing about them having romantic feelings for one another is that the potential is absolutely undeniable, and I think the fact that so many people recognise this and come to the internet to search for evidence of it is proof enough of its viability.
Personally I also think this is what makes their relationship so fascinating to me - you can choose to read so much into the small moments - it's giving a kind of Jane Austen level of subtle gesture to show us what could be a deep well of feelings on both sides. To me, that is so much more interesting than when characters openly admit and express their feelings - I live for the tortured soul who is so very in love and so very "not allowed" to be in love hahaha
The first time I watched aot I didn't pick up on their potential connection until Petra died - and then suddenly it was like a whole new world of depth unravelled, and I felt like we as an audience saw a side to Levi that we hadn't seen before. The fact that it's Petra's body we see fly from the cart, Petra's badge that's given away, Petra's body is the last he comes upon and the one he stops at, and that it's Petra's father that comes to speak to him is what made me think that they might have had feelings for one another - though again this is not proof, just what I like to think. There were 3 other members of the special ops squad who we did not see have any post death interaction with Levi beyond him mournfully passing their bodies.
That for me was enough to justify thinking they might have had feelings for one another, or at least, that Petra held a special place in his heart romantic or otherwise - not to mention that on re-read/watch, you can find so many other moments before the squad's death that can feed into this theory if you wish!
Whatever your opinion of their true feelings, I think the importance of these characters to one another is absolutely undeniable, and that is what makes them so fun to explore.
Sorry that was very rambly but I hope I sort of answered your question!

Just seen that bolo tie image and oh wow I'm honestly impressed by the shippers train of thought.
In my years in this fandom I've seen Levihan shippers , creating headcanons and analysis out of the canon source, and placing the "maybe canon proof" from the original source. ( Yet Levihan in a way is treated like a rare pair)
But for this ship ER and L, anything is canon proof for them and have to applaud their confidence. Outside of the promise scene and them proving the ackerbond is real, the arguments I've seen in them trying to prove it's canon, is from marketing arts or things the most ludicrous I've seen was "E and L shared a room because they put 2 wax statues of them in the same room." I truly seen someone say that Er*ri is their favourite ship but they prefer, hc and fanfics because they're not a fan of their in manga dynamic.
Post note: That anon who told you to not come back to the fandom if Levihan become canon should realise people can have different opinions. And take a break from the internet, damm
Wish you a great day and less crazy anons!!
Nah the most ludicrous is that they had seggs because of two books on a bed... This will never be beaten by anything 😂😂😂
And yeah, those anons need to touch some grass, look at some nice LH art and chill.
I am of the people who really does not care whether i am a part of a community. My blog is literally just me screaming my thoughts into the void. I contradicted myself 100s of times and probably forgot all about it.
People choose to read it. Some like it (i appreciate it) some don't (that's ok too). I never did anything for attention. Hell, my posts have like 10 likes or 0 likes....and i don't even care.
Mostly i creates this blog to talk to myself and share my thoughts that i can't share to anyone irl. That's it. 🤷‍♀️
If LH becomes canon i will, of course, accept it and consider their bond romantic just like if Eroori or Rivetra becomes canon. Doesn't mean i'll join those fandoms though. EM is a canon romantic ship. Guess what, i don't even like it, i much prefer Eremin, but if anyone will say EM is not canon, i will argue it, because it Is canon. And some other ships aren't. Which is totally ok.

Lost - Chapter 2
Story Summary: Petra survives her encounter with the female titan but when she’s hurt and goes missing, her comrades believe her to be dead and make for home. Now she has to try and survive long enough to get back home. If she can manage that, what will be waiting for her there? What will Levi do if he’s faced with a second chance at having Petra in his life? Chapter Summary: Petra's forced to plan for a potentially long stay in the forest.
Pairing: Levi Ackerman x Petra Ral | Rivetra Taglist: @lunar-rainclouds @captain-natey @1wholeheartedly-nii
The tears dried off eventually and Petra sagged against the back of the tree, scrubbing at her face. How much time had passed, she didn’t know but it was thankfully still dark and the aches that had plagued her body were lessening a little. She gazed outside at the treetops bathed in moonlight. The silence of the forest was both tranquil and terrifying. Like the first time you jump off a roof in odm gear before the gas propels you away from the death drop. 
Crying wasn’t going to solve anything, she resolved harshly. You’ve spent your tears. Now it’s time to do something about this. You’re a goddamn Scout, for the love of the Walls! You survived training. A titan hasn’t eaten you yet. You can get out of this mess. Just gotta figure out what this mess is, exactly. She could practically hear her training instructor (and then later Miche and Levi) all lecturing the recruits stiff on finding out as much as possible about a situation first. 
Carefully, Petra crawled over towards the hole, peering downwards, towards the forest floor. Through the darkness, she glimpsed the shapes of many giant figures as well as the pale skin of those who caught an edge of moonlight. Petra silently thanked Hange’s revelation about titans being rendered immobile at night for the lack of panic in her chest. The darkness cradled them just as it wrapped around Petra.
Angling herself so she was sat securely within her new hiding space but close enough to keep leaning out, Petra began to run her head through the possibilities available to her. The Scouts, had many of them survived, would have tried to take as much away with them as they could (unless that came at the cost of more lives) but there still might be some runaway horses out there, or at least some fallen supplies. If she could find a horse then that would solve her situation directly. She’d have a major head start on any titans, maybe even getting back to Karanes before they woke up. 
There was too much she didn’t know right now and she needed to rectify that. 
If she couldn’t find a horse then she had to find supplies - primarily food, water and gas. While the titans below hadn’t managed to climb up to her, it would still be better for her to kill those that came too close. Looking down at them now, Petra saw that some of the titans were slumped against the trees, covering their napes. It would be harder to kill them but not impossible when they were like this. Another point Hange had made about titans was how light they were. She could maybe kick the awkwardly positioned ones into a better position for killing them. She stood a real chance of being able to takes all of these out under the cover of darkness but then there was the matter of gas. She couldn’t afford to waste it. 
It might be better to kill them on a needs-must basis especially as she would need to be able to protect herself in case any of them tried to climb. It wasn’t out of the realms of possibility, after all. Scouts encountered abnormal titans quite often. What was to prevent her waking up to the face of one who actually managed to climb as high as this? Petra shuddered with gritted teeth. If she could find any blades, she would take them as well. 
Okay. First thing’s first, let’s take a look around. This could be over by tomorrow night.
Petra removed her gear and used the moonlight to check over her equipment. It had taken some hits but the damage was superficial mostly. It would need maintenance if she got back to HQ. No, when she got back to HQ. Dying out here, living around titans, was not an option. She reattached her gear and scooted to the edge of the tree again, ignoring the aches in her back and side.
With a readying breath, she dropped of the tree and onto the nearest branch beneath her. Even with bended knees, the impact shot through her like a cramp.
Should be fairly easy enough to find my way back, she noted, eyeing the titans sprawled around. Nevertheless, she drew out one of her blades and carved three horizontal lines into the trunk. 
——————————————————————————————————
Petra had to alternate between running and walking as she weaved through the trees. It felt like the air was being punched out of her, knocking all of her aches back into prominence. Sweat soon began to drip down her face and arms. Her eyes and forehead stung from squinting around at the intense darkness around her. The patches of moonlight through the canopy of treetops only went so far as giving everything shape within the blackness. 
There was a lot of stumbling over roots and rocks, her pants sliced open whenever she moved too close to brambles. The burning ache in her legs reminded her of endurance runs back at the training corps. Which she’d absolutely sucked at until Eld taught her how to pace herself properly. He was always a more effective teacher than their instructor at times. Far more patient. That was why he’d been so good with Eren. 
Thinking about Eld brought a tight feeling to her throat so she returned her focus to trying not to trip over every blasted root and forest in this damn place. If she gave into thinking about him, she’d end up thinking about Gunther and whether Oluo was alive. And him.
She had to be somewhat mindful of the time. Dawn could be approaching and she needed time to get back to her hiding place if she needed to. Most of the titans she’d encountered had gathered around there so finding it again shouldn’t be an issue. It also meant that she could put some of her nerves to better us - propelling her forward.
She chased any sight of weaker darkness and pursued it. In one hand she wielded a blade, conscious that, while titans may be immobile now, animals like wolves were not. Remembering those predators caused her hopes of finding a horse to sink somewhat. 
Even so, she let out a whistle now and then, along with listening for any sounds of hooves rumbling towards her. But so far no animals had presented themselves. The rustle of her own movements didn’t help the possibility of any dangerous animals being attracted to her presence but these were hardly avoidable.
Every dozen or so times she turned, she wondered if she was just running in circles and making herself lost. Wasting energy. Intrusive thoughts of wolves catching up to her or taking a bad fall and knocking herself out, becoming prey for titans, entered her head and she growled as she endeavoured to shove them away. The more she ran, the more that fear pounded at her chest, filling her with even unpleasant thoughts. What if there are no horses and you’re stuck here? What if there are now supplies? What if you lose that tree before dawn? What if you’re too tired to escape? 
Those thoughts huddled around her at once, threatening to overwhelm her.
No. I’m not dying here. She told herself with anger pricking at her insides. I’m a Scout. I’m a member of Levi Squad. I’ll find some way out of this. I can’t just stop and wait for the end. I have too many people waiting for me back home.
——————————————————————————————————
After a couple of hours, she swung herself up onto a branch to catch her breath. She was going to pass out if she didn’t. Pre-dawn light was already entering the forest and that gave her a very limited window to actually see where she was going and look for anything that she could use. Her whistles became more frequent as she rested but each one was met with silence and Petra’s gut throbbed with dread. 
If everyone else made it back, they’ll be waking up soon. Gunther, Eld and Oluo’s parents will be waking up to a world without their children. How many other parents are facing that same fate? Petra stifled a cry as he thoughts turned to her own parents. If they haven’t been told already, they’ll be told today. She blinked rapidly to stem the tears pricking at her eyes. No. Not here. You can’t break here.
So she forced those thoughts away from her. Weariness and the aches in her muscles tugged her towards drowsiness but she pulled away from it. The effort of doing so wore away at her but the insecurity of her surroundings kept her nerves on edge enough to act as a barrier to sleep. 
After about twenty minutes or so, she descended and began her search again. 
——————————————————————————————————
Not far from the edge of the forest, there was a fallen wagon. Petra’s stomach clenched as she approached it. She took quiet, careful steps and, raising her blade, she used the tip to push aside the flap of the covering. However she was met only with the sight of damaged equipment.
“Damn,” she grumbled, sheathing her blade for now. She clambered inside and began to rummage around in the wreckage
She vaguely recognized the equipment as that used for capturing a titan. She remembered the roar of the equipment in action - a deafening, overwhelming blast of noise like cannon fire. It might have been useful to help her fight these titans off if she’d had the knowledge to use them, and if they weren’t broken. 
Running her hands across the broken pieces, she thought of how easily they had broken. The muscles in her forearms tensed when she contemplated how much effort had gone into today and how quickly it had all gone to shit. Hatred blazed through her. Why do these creatures have to exist? What has humanity done to deserve this horrible price that we’ve paid? 
The strange roar the Female Titan had unleashed had spurred other titans sprung to mind as Petra examined the damage some more. The Female Titan had been restrained very well before she released that sound. Even without seeing the stampede of titans, Petra had recognized the rumbling of many feet all too well. There had been too much going on to pay it too much attention. They’d had a job to do; get Eren to safety and by the Walls, she hoped that impulsive, feisty boy had listened. Because if the loss of Eld, Gunther and possibly Oruo was all for nothing, she wasn’t sure she wanted to know for sure. At this point hope was better.
She nudged aside another piece of broken equipment. Beneath it, the edge of brown material poked out at her. She gave it a jerk and a sack tumbled towards her. Her hands scrambled to open it, running over the shapes of gas cannisters. Finally, that’s something. Examining the cannisters, she soon detected the damage on two of them, the gas long since gone. Choosing not to dwell on that for now, she ran her hand through some more of the sack. A couple of water cannisters, both of them unharmed and full, met her fingers next along with three packets of multiple rations. Petra felt her shoulders sag as a couple more concerns dropped away from her. 
The sack yielded nothing else and a search of the rest of the wagon provided her with more wreckage, another intact gas cannister and pack of rations. There were several boxes of blades but she wouldn’t be able to carry them all at once. Meanwhile everything else had been crushed. 
The rise of golden light around her snapped her back into focus. Soon those titans would be awake. Damn she’d wanted to take a few of them out before dawn but now it was likely going to be too risky. Her main hope was that none of them attempted the climb to her new accommodation.
With ODM gear, she returned to her tree fairly speedily. The titans around the area were still slumped, blinking around in growing wakefulness as Petra swung herself into her sanctuary. After landing and depositing her new supplies, Petra slumped against the back of the tree, her body sore and craving sleep again.

Acts of deep devotion Rivetra music playlist
So, here I am to share with you my Rivetra playlist...FINALLY: months have passed since the creation of this playlist, months of manic daily modification and now I'm ready to share it with you. Since I'm not English native, I'm not very skilled in English, so I can't write a good fanfiction, even though I have so many ideas in my head...so, all my imagination poured out this playlist: this is my contribution to our Rivetra community! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/578VNhU8BV2xtoUADyMcPc?si=25d36ee0b2494c85 This is the explanation of the distribution of the songs in the playlist:   From 1 (Souyoku no Hikari) to 7 (Call of silence): canonical songs attributable to Rivetra; From 8 (Lost Soul) to 37 (Insomnia): Songs entirely dedicated to Levi, the first ones are real character songs dedicated to Levi by various artists (up to 13 Levi Ackerman) and from 14 to 37 songs that reflect his character, some taken from AMV and others instead found around and that reminded me our Captain; From 38 (Howlin’ for you) to 90 (No Fate Awaits Me) these are Levi’s POV songs about Petra: the thoughts he might have had about her, the unfolding of their relationship, in short, everything that Levi might think is in love for his adorable subordinate: I tried to choose those that possibly have a male voice; From 91 (Funeral March) to 108 (Find me) you can notice a total change of atmosphere, because these are the songs that are inspired by the death of Petra; particular focus on the 104 (The Night we Met) and the 105 (Maelstrom Spark) because they are songs that recall in full the events of ff Answered Prayers, when I listen and think back "Heck, but it really is the perfect soundtrack for those scenes!" ; From 109 (Time) to 117 (In Her Honor) there is an interlude, a moment of transition from one point of view to another: practically they are totally instrumental songs that I would see well as soundtracks of various ffs, or in general that inspire me mental images of Levi and Petra and "It could be but it was not"; From 118 (Can’t Help Falling in Love) to 162 (Mr. Sandman) these are Petra’s POV songs: all songs of devotion and blind love towards Levi (as canonically IT WAS), some refer to Petra’s thoughts in a possible relationship with Levi, others of blind and boundless love for him (I especially love Je t'adore and Under Your Spell, The Cure and I need More that harks back to a ff inspired by Sleepersawake’s Cyrano AU)

Whenever I'm feeling skeptical, I just stare at this panel of what could be the last time we see through Levi's eyes. No matter how you try to spin things around to come to the conclusion that Petra never meant anything to him, you can't deny the proof that she did right before our eyes. What type of significance their relationship held is open to interpretation. Years after her death, she is still in the front of his mind. In a detail oriented story like SNK, something like this visualization isn't a coincidence. It's not a recollection of a single memory, but a collage of the memories he shared with every single comrad that was sacrificed to protect Eren's life. Those closest in this image are perhaps the sacrifices he regrets the most.

We'd find again"

Petra always reminded her of fall. 
Even though the nature of the season was depressing, she couldn't shake off the feelings that the ginger woman brought upon her when she joined the special operation squad. 
Her laugh was magical, her smiles were like the rays of sunshine breaking through the sad reality they lived in. 
At first Levi thought it bothered her. She was trying to ignore the change Petra brought, but her cold demeanor didn't stop the new subordinate from sticking to her side, offering help with anything she could. 
"I know it shouldn't be important but it's comforting to have a woman as my superior officer. You, being humanity's strongest, was my biggest motivation to join the scouts." 
That confession broke Levi's heart. It was when she realized she hoped Petra's adoration was coming from a different place. 
The sun that was Petra's smile didn't hit the same after that.
Levi wasn't an open person. She never discussed her preferences nor experiences with anyone, and the only people aware of them were the ones who were a part of it. 
She never had a need for sex nor love. If her body had needs, she could take care of it herself. 
She noticed Petra's beauty and her eyes wandered to appreciate her body more than she wanted to admit to herself. 
The real problem was the ache in her chest that the ginger started to cause every time they spent time together. It usually came outta nowhere. They could spend hours together in her office, filing paperwork, sipping tea and occasionally chatting, then suddenly that feeling came and Levi wanted to run away as far as she could. Petra was the kind of danger she never dealt with before. 
There came a day when she decided to fuck it. She had to. Keeping her emotions deep and covered until she herself forgot about them was her specialty, after all. 
Like a universe playing with her, the same evening she crossed paths with Petra in the showers. The pink on the short-haired girl's cheeks when she saw her topless were engraved in Levi's mind after that. 
It took her a week of shifting from side to side in bed at night before she came to the conclusion that maybe, maybe, there was a chance of Petra reciprocating her feelings. 
"Captain, let's finish for tonight. You look tired. Have you been sleeping well lately?" Petra asked in worry. Levi felt guilty for liking how much she cared about her well-being. 
"Sure." she replied with a sigh and closed a folder of documents on her desk. Petra stood up and took it to put it back at its spot on the shelf nearby. Levi followed her with her eyes, feeling a wave of longing. 
Even in this humble setting, Petra looked divine. Her moves are so delicate. Levi thought that all the ridiculous descriptions of princesses in books for children were about people like her. Even in battle Petra's technique was unique. 
Before she realized, she was standing beside and when the ginger turned, she gasped in surprise and her back hit the wall behind her. 
Their eyes met and Levi drowned in the gold of the woman's eyes. 
They stood there, neither moving but both breathing shallowly, looking deep into each other's eyes. 
Levi's hand rose up and she brushed her fingertips over Petra's soft cheek. Beautiful skin blushed when she put her other hand on the wall beside her head. 
Her heart beat like crazy. 
"Please tell me to stop." she whispered, feeling her heart clenching, awaiting rejection, disgust and tears. 
Petra was holding her breath, a red color crawling onto her face,
“Don’t…” she whimpered and Levi felt her heart sinking.
“Don’t stop” Petra finished nervously, not moving an inch as if it would make her go away. 
A spark appeared in her Captain’s gray eyes. Her heartbeat pacing like crazy when she leaned in to place a kiss on the edge of Petra’s lips. It was soft, nothing like anything she did in her usual manners. Too worried of scaring the sweet subordinate away with her burning feelings towards her. 
Before she could move away, Petra grabbed her jacket and pulled her back to her lips, yearning for a proper kiss. For a moment, Levi’s mind felt hazy. Petra’s lips felt like honey, soft in a way that made her head spin. She reciprocated the kiss and moved closer until she pinned Petra’s body to the wall with her own. 
She couldn’t get enough of her and when their lips parted for air she moved to leave soft kisses on her jaw and down her neck. That was until she felt Petra’s hands touching the sides of her head. She got back to her senses and straightened up, clearing her throat awkwardly. The sight of Petra’s fragile expression made her soften.
“I don’t understand.” the ginger said close to tears from all the confusion that she felt. “Can it be right? I never felt like this before.”
Levi raised her hand and slowly put a strand of Petra’s hair behind her ear. 
“Do you hate it?”
“No, I… I want it but…why do you want me?”
Levi’s eyebrows went up.
“Are you kidding?”
“There are so many men longing for you, I’m nothing special and I’m…a woman.” she said under her breath, looking away in distress.
“Petra.” Levi sighed and caressed her cheek with her palm. “Do you think I care for what other people think?”
“Usually, no…”
“I care about how you feel about me. And that’s fucking scary. So don’t you dare think of yourself as nothing but special.” she said, leaning close, making their foreheads touch.

Hello 💖
Thank you so much for your rivetra & erurihan (💖) rp blogs ; they're amazing (the rivetra wedding 💚🧡 omg). You portray all the characters so well, it's a real delight !
But now I'm here for the fic writers ask game with 23, 30 & 37 (if it's not too much)
Thanks 😉
🍭 - anon
You are the absolute sweetest. Thank you so much for the feedback! The Erurihan blog in particular has been receiving so much attention lately and that one was struggling so it really makes me happy that you enjoy it. And I love that you've looked at the rivetra one too! The wedding was so much fun to do.
23. What’s a trope, AU, or concept you’ve never written, but would like to?
I'd quite like to give the fake dating trope a try one day. It's something I enjoy reading and it's a fun idea.
30. Have you ever written something that was out of your comfort zone? If so, what was it, and how did it affect your approach to writing fic thereafter?
I got a request for a Levi x Reader x Petra fic and that was out of my comfort zone because I had never written polyamory or threesomes before. I was interested in doing so but I hadn't taken that step so that fic was really good for me to do. It's called Beyond Duties.
37. Promote one of your own “deep cut” fics (an underrated one, or one that never got as much traction as you think it deserves!). What do you like about it?
Cocktails and Freedom is definitely one that, although I'm in the early stages, I'm really enjoying writing. I actually have it all planned out which is a rarity for me. However I do understand why it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. Basically it's LevixReader where Reader is a high class sex worker. There will be other triggers in the story so it's probably one of my edgier WIPs. But I really like how much work I've done in planning and in my head, that world is already taking form. So it's a story I really love.
