    Summary

    “I had wondered—” Erwin coughs again, and is cowed into lowering his gaze when the Captain looks at him. He has the most scrutinising of stares. Erwin isn’t sure if he can see out of his left eye, but in that moment, it could well be penetrating his heart. “Ah, that is. In your letter, you didn’t mention much. Of what you expected from me during this session.”

    The Captain takes so long to answer, that Erwin begins to think he does not feel inclined to say anything at all. He finishes his tea, and returns his cup to the tray. “What does your job usually entail?”

    “Usually? Well, I might accompany a client to an event, or have dinner with them, or simply keep them company.”

    “Do you have sex with them?”

    “Yes.” Erwin swallows.

    -

    In which Levi is a retired war veteran who hires Erwin to drink tea with him in silence.

    Summary

    “And what about that friend of your husband’s then?”

    “What about him?”

    “Well he’s a strange man, isn’t he? For Erwin to be friends with, that is. Quite an… unorthodox fellow. And he smells unusual too, for a man. Have you noticed? Like—”

    “Yes, I’ve noticed.”

    Erwin’s nose prickles with the phantom scent of oranges and lavender. That I could press my face into his hair, as a man does with his wife.

    Summary

    Levi is 26, lives at home with his uncles, works two jobs to save up money, and has no idea what he's going to do with his life. Erwin firmly believes that he's ruined his own life: he's 36, divorced, with zero prospects and few friends, and hopelessly out of shape. One day, Pieck convinces Erwin to go to lunch with her at Scout's Deli, where he meets Levi and a chain of events is set off that neither of them could have foreseen...

    This is a story about love, miscommunication, hurt, and repair.

    Summary

    Sometimes, as the winds of Narragansett Bay whip at his cold-flushed face and aching hands, Levi wonders how life has led him here. Here: atop four winding flights of stairs, seventy-three feet in the air, polishing a fifty year old light bulb several times larger than his head.

    His predecessor had complained about the loneliness while showing him around the place. Told him it makes you go mad. Levi doesn’t mind it though. In fact, he finds the isolation oddly comforting. In the middle of the ocean there are no generals or foremen screaming at him to get back to work. There are no sly insults on his stature, or reprimands regarding his attitude. Atop Whale Rock there is only steel, stone, and the occasional seabird cawing overheard.

    ---

    After being dishonorably discharged from the military, the slowly dying Levi Ackerman takes a job as a lighthouse keeper just off the coast. Content in his isolation, (aside from the occasional visit from supply-boatman, Hange) he resolves to spend the rest of his days on the sea tending to the light.

    It's only when a retired, one-armed navy man arrives to serve as a fellow keeper, that Levi has to reconsider if there's something he's been missing.
