Fics
Due to being obsessed with aruani and Attack on Titan as a whole, I've written a lot of fics on AO3 since I started my account! (38 in total!) Since I've written so much, and since I pretty much focus on aruani, I'll just outline my aruani long-fics/multi-chapter fics here.
Note that I've written a ton of aruani one-shots (both in-canon, post-canon and modern AUs), as well as a few things for some other AoT ships (eremika, reihitch and arumikannie), so feel free to go to my account to check them out if you're more interested in one-shots :)
Summary: When Armin Arlert moves to the rainy town of Forks to live with his grandfather for the rest of his high school career, he doesn’t really think much will come of it.
But when he catches sight of the beautiful but oddly terrifying Annie Leonhart, he finds himself drawn to her in ways he’d never expected. However, Annie is mysterious and unreadable, yet this only makes Armin want to know more about her, consequences be damned – even if it puts his own life in danger.

Summary: After four years away at a Catholic university, Annie returns home with nothing more than a feeling of dread as she is forced to return to living under the rule of her absent father, who is pushing her to join the family business.
But when she sees an old childhood friend, Armin, now the gardener of the estate, it brings up unaddressed feelings Annie was never prepared for. Spending the summer rekindling their friendship stirs up more than she bargained for – will she be able to reap what she’d sown from the seeds that were planted in their past, and have a taste of the forbidden fruit before her?

Summary: In a coffee shop on a busy street, Annie, a new regular, finds herself experiencing her first crush in a long time on Armin, the cute barista who works there. After months of flirting with each other, a friend intervenes to get the ball rolling, and what follows is a series of dates where something sweeter than the drinks Annie orders blooms between them.

Summary: In the midst of the Rumbling, on the boat to Odiha, Armin and Annie let themselves share a moment of weakness, which leads to something neither of them is prepared for: Annie is pregnant.
However, their relationship has been strained ever since the Rumbling ended. The news of Annie’s pregnancy and the expectation that Armin will travel further south in Marley to begin negotiations, along with anyone who will accompany him, bring more challenges than they had anticipated.
Yet, in spite of all of the difficulties these new circumstances may bring, they might just bring the two of them back together again.

Key characteristics: Rating: Explicit. Modern AU. POV Annie Leonhart.
Summary: Following the death of one of her best friends in an accident she feels she caused, Annie isolates herself from those closest to her until her agreement to help her friend, Armin, move into his new apartment finally forces her out of her solitude.
But whilst helping him unpack, she encounters something she hadn’t expected: a large box of BDSM-related sex toys. Even though they agree to never speak of it again, she can’t get it off her mind, so she eventually goes to him with a proposition: a friends with benefits relationship.
However, the more they sleep together, the more the lines between friends and lovers blur, leaving Annie to grapple with their newfound connection whilst still processing her grief.
In the mess of it all, like daisies in a meadow, can something real bloom?

~ Faking It ~
Key characteristics: Rating: Explicit. College AU. POV Armin Arlert.
Summary: Armin believed his life would become easier once his roommate Eren and best friend Mikasa started dating. However, after walking in on the two of them screwing one too many times, he has had enough, and when they ditch him at a sorority party, he is left alone to contemplate his frustration, only to run into Annie, the campus bad girl, who devises a plan to get back at them: a fake relationship.
A success at first, but along the way, the lines become blurred. How long can they fake feelings for each other before they become real?

Summary: Struggling to sleep amidst the chaos of the Rumbling's aftermath, Annie's feet carry her to Armin's tent without thought. A tender moment between the two leads to a further exploration of their relationship over the next few months.

A Final Note
I'll keep this up to date, so that the info here stays as accurate as possible. I'll also include all the tags mentioned to help navigate everything if you choose to look through the stuff on this blog :)
Hi everyone!! I just posted Chapter 18 of Foreign. I hope you all enjoy 💙
Read here.
Here's a snippet:
She didn’t want to, but she forced herself to turn to meet Armin’s gaze. His hair was a little messy – maybe he’d been playing with it, or maybe it’d gotten dishevelled by the nighttime wind.
Hi everyone!! I just posted Chapter 70 of Daisy Chains. I hope you all enjoy 💙

Here's a snippet:
“Annie,” he said. “You should have put on a coat. It’s freezing.”
She rolled her eyes. “And here I am, delivering you food, and the first thing you do is reprimand me.”
Armin smiled and stepped forward, his warm arms coming around her as he pressed his mouth against hers. It was a sweet, brief thing, but it made her lips tingle.
“Thank you,” he said. “I just don’t want you to get cold.”
“It’s warm in here,” she said. “Okay. Show me your office then, professor.”
Everything I read about recovering from burnout is like “it takes months or even years to fully recover” and it’s like okay…. I have a weekend before I gotta clock in on Monday
I'm going to assume this is about when I'll next update it, but I honestly have no idea. Daisy Chains is currently my priority, and then once that's done, I'll get around to my other ongoing fics!!
He has to be stupid sometimes but not too stupid because he's actually very smart! But he can't be too smart because his eleventy billion insecurities and self doubting tendencies inevitably make him stupid. He will communicate and talk about his feelings because he's like that but he can't be barebones honest because he's worried about being a burden. He won't be too closed off because he holds an inherent belief that talking and getting things out is half the solution! But he'll keep his worries to himself because he has no value! He doesn't matter! He's expendable! He'll wear his heart on his sleeve but not too much because he's afraid of being abandoned but he will still give his whole heart into loving and caring for a person. He can be straight up sexy confident but not too confident so you have to make him give an excellent, smooth speech and then he breaks down backstage because oh god he doesn't deserve the applause. He has the capacity to lead while being scared as fuck but he's also very brave! The bravest! The scared-est! He'll come up with the most morally convuluted plan ever and then go vomit and torture himself for it. He doesn't think he's cute or hot or handsome or sexy but he does know what he does to Annie so ultimately you're left with a 10-hour segment pacing up and down your room fighting between "Ohhhhh, he would say that" and "Wait he would NOT fucking say that" before the claws of hell come and drag you away.
