When I Waked, I Cried to Dream Again by Varazserdo

Summary
The Rumbling is over. Reiner Braun has survived despite his best attempts at a heroic death. Now he has to face an unknowable future.
“You a soldier?”
A pointed look at his uniform, the strange metal braces criss-crossing his legs and the straps and belts that held the ODM gear. His shirt is an unidentifiable colour, stiff with sweat and salt and dried titan fluid.
“Yeah. Yeah, I am. I was there.”
He’s dizzy saying it. The battle rushes at him. Terror and desperation. The strength of his titan (a strange longing grips him at what he has lost). The surety that he would die on Eren's back. The unreality of his survival, neither desired nor anticipated. The wrongness of his fragile human body, exhausted and bleeding.
The man makes a sign to ward off evil. “Then I guess you better come in.”

Summary
Reiner searches for Jean at the bar after he misses another information brief. Things escalate.
There’s a moment of disorientation as he steps into the gloom of the bar. It’s dark and cool inside, the usual smell of beer and liquor, a haze of cigarette smoke, the jukebox playing the same record on a loop. Nothing much coming out of Liberio these days. The bartender washes glasses in a sink of soapy water. Two men play cards, faces grim, a pile of coins and crumpled bills between them. A girl titters in the corner; a young soldier's hand running up her thigh, and she throws her head back, blond hair a corona around her face in the dim, shadowy room. The place has a subterranean feel, although it’s just off the palazzo on a twisty little side street.
“Time to go home, Jean.”

Summary
It takes three days to destroy the world. A lifetime is not enough to mend it. Sometimes things are beyond repair.
It takes thirty-five days to travel from Fort Salta to Shiganshina. Some journeys transform the traveller.
The woman who wades ashore, pulling a stolen fishing boat onto the rocky beach, an oddly lumpen knapsack slung over her shoulders, hair matted with filth, fingernails blackened, and lips cracked from thirst and the pitiless salt spray, is not the same woman who left the island hoping to save Eren from himself. She pats him through the canvas knapsack, feels the reassuring curve of his skull, and trudges inland, homebound.

Summary
Mikasa wrestles with her conflicted feelings about Eren in the aftermath of his desertion in Liberio. Jean offers assistance after a gruelling training session in the new ODM tactical uniform.
“Hey, what happened to your foot?” Jean asks, leaning over and lifting her leg to inspect the oozing blister.
He smells like sweat and wool and a woody, resinous cologne popular in Marley. The mixture is familiar and alluring. She inhales surreptitiously, guilt and attraction burbling in her belly, as he turns her foot gently and whistles at the sight of the raw, glistening skin.
“Nothing. I guess my boots are too small. I'm breaking them in.”
“Looks nasty.”
He holds her ankle and runs his thumbs along the bare sole of her foot, pressing into her sore muscles, and she lets out an involuntary groan. They both stop, suddenly still and flushed red, Jean still holding her foot. There's a long moment of coiled tension.

A Long and Torturous Goodbye by Varazserdo

Summary
Eren and Armin explore the coast on a Survey Corps mission.
The sun hides behind the grey clouds moving agitatedly across the sky. The sea churns and sends up salt spray. You're both soaked through, your green wool cloaks plastered to your heads. You shiver in the autumn chill. Below you see dolphins jump in the bay. Armin has spotted a minke whale; seals with long whiskers and the faces of old men; shiny fish as long as your forearm; and black and white puffins with intelligent eyes. He scribbles in his notebook, sketching the plants and animals that live here where land meets sea.
Armin draws a crude map, marking down the site of the village. He has learnt the names of things from a book once forbidden and now integral to the Survey Corps’ mission. He holds a copy now, confirming the existence of the pelican and the albatross. His fingers move along the map, finding the names of forgotten places. He writes the name of the village on his map in neat, small letters.

Summary
Eren and Reiner were once best friends. They trained at the same academy. They even played for the same country. But then one day, Reiner left his Paradisian citizenship and club jersey behind, and now Eren fucking hates him, the traitor.
Good thing they're about to meet again at the World Cup. In opposing sides of the field.

Summary
Braun is another animal entirely. Erwin gets better at noticing slips of the mask. "Two-faced" isn't the right label. The correct word might be “mercurial”, or, as Levi puts it, “off his fuckin’ rocker.”
Commander Erwin Smith knows that there’s something strange about the two tallest scouts in the 104th. What secrets are Reiner Braun and Bertolt Hoover hiding?

Stranded on a distant planet in the middle of a war, Jean Kirstein and Reiner Braun watch the stars together as the reality of their situation crashes down around them.
☆☆☆
And isn’t this what he really wanted anyway? To be kissing Reiner beneath the velvet cosmos, even if the glittering streaks above them were less than comets and more than stars?

Summary
Nightmares haunt him every time he’s unlucky enough to fall unconscious: buildings, horses, comrades, all torn to shreds as destruction rains down from the heavens—a relentless barrage of boulders. Every time, sparing only him.
Every time, one question plagues his weary mind—Why?
Is it because I’m… special?
No.
The improbability of it all is laughable.an honest look at how Floch Forster got to where he is.
