Summary
Evelyn Neumann was never meant to join the Survey Corps.
Top of her class, born behind Wall Sina’s polished lies, she was supposed to vanish into the Military Police like everyone else with a future. But Evelyn carries the weight of a truth no one speaks—and a past that refuses to stay buried.
Silent, strategic, and too observant for her own good, she volunteers for the Scouts not out of valor, but necessity. What begins as a calculated move spirals into something else entirely as she’s drawn deeper into Erwin’s strategic webs, the Levi Squad’s fleeting warmth, and Levi Ackerman’s cold, unshifting orbit.
This is a story of survival, of unspoken things and unhealed wounds. Of a girl trying to outrun the past, and a man who’s forgotten how to hope. As the world unravels around them, Evelyn and Levi must decide what’s worth holding on to—and what remains when everything else is gone.
My first work after a long writing hiatus. This is a character-driven, extremely slow-burn romance where I aim to stay as true as possible to Levi Ackerman’s canon nature and the quiet gravity of an original character.

Summary
Levi releases a deep exhale, characteristically stoic but clearly out of his depth. He crosses one leg over the other and gives you a cool, unreadable look.
"I'm saying that, of all the women around me, you're the least insufferable one."
Your answer is polite yet chilly.
"Is that a compliment, sir?"
"It's an offer, Assistant. I'm telling you to marry me."

Summary
On the surface, a romcom about two best friends in denial. Underneath, a story about trauma, healing, and the slow, aching unraveling of a love that’s always been there– just waiting to be seen.
Or: the one where Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are best friends, secretly in love with each other, and start a matchmaking committee to set up Ginny Weasley and Blaise Zabini… only to accidentally ruin their own lives in the process.
In a sexy, slow-burn, sometimes heartbreaking kind of way.
