It is only natural that you’re the one to sleep next to him, at camp. For one, you’d be the first to react to a nightly attack, if there ever were one. In the meantime, you’re the last to witness his smile as he wishes you all good night, and his eyes as they tentatively search for yours. Having nowhere to run to, and no viable escape route, Reiner a mountain too big to leap over now, you turn, panicky and flustered, and you shut your eyes close. And yet, a sweet warmth fills your chest as you fall asleep.

AruAni fanfic, post-Canon, Teen and up, 320 words. Continues here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/48798889 Written for @julybreakbingo, Prompt: "Falling Asleep/Waking them up /Dreams/Nightmares/Night Terrors" Due to dark and mysterious circumstances (read: other writing commitments I could not delay), I could only complete this piece for the July Break Bingo within the actual month of July, so I'm posting it now, before the month is over.

I have some other pieces in the works, but I'm not confident I will be able to post them before the cutoff date; still, even so, I'm glad I could participate, even if in this very small way; it helped me a lot to dedicate myself to narratives different from the one I've just escaped from (my one-year-of-effort longfic. Well. Almost. Hmm). Viva!

And thanks to the lovely people at @julybreakbingo <3

Flowers of Eldia, unraveling

Last entry for the July Break Bingo, a strange one (dear Bernkastel people, if you know the AoT canon, please try to give it a go -- I wanted to try writing such a story for a long, long time.) And yes, the gif is there for a reason.

Fandom: Shingeki No Kyojin / Attack on Titan

Characters: Historia Reiss, Frederica Bernkastel

Ships: Historia/Other Female Character, Historia/Ymir of the 104th (past), Historia&/Hitch Dreyse (up to you)

Summary:

During winter, Historia is required to be in Mitras, the capital of Eldia, to attend military meetings and the nobles' court. It's with a heavy weight in her heart that she leaves her peaceful life in the countryside, for life in the city is pure hell. However, even as she longs for a different arrangement, she too can no longer deny that what the new government decides in her name will impact the people's lives... and hers, too. In despair and in loneliness, is it possible for her to find an ally, however unlikely? Set during the time skip after the Rumbling.

CW: Talk of reproductive rights and bodily autonomy, slut shaming (and a lot of pervasive misogyny throughout).

Written for the @julybreakbingo, prompts: "If you have a problem with me, then tell me. Don't talk about it behind my back." + "Why are you smiling? This is serious."

Reiner doesn't want to, he doesn't really feel like it, but there's no way he can win an argument against Annie right now

Fandom: Shingeki No Kyojin / Attack on Titan (manga spoilers!)

Relationships: Reiner & Annie, minor Armin/Annie

Summary:

Early in the morning, Reiner goes out to run with Annie. Set 4-6 months after the Rumbling.

CW: Depression, some vague suicidal thoughts. Written for @julybreakbingo, prompts: "Would you like to observe? You might learn something." + "Kiss my ass."
