1 YEAR BLOG ANNIVERSARY

It’s been exactly ONE YEAR since I created this blog!! Honestly, I did it one a whim but it was definitely one of my better decisions. I've had so much fun creating, posting, interacting with content of my favourite fandoms and characters, and most importantly, meeting new people!

Special thank you to all my moots – it's been so fun getting to know you all while yapping about our hyperfixations and fictional husbands lmaoo

Also tysm to everyone who's ever liked, reblogged, commented, or just visited my blog to see what silly things I post XD

And lastly, here are some thank you flowers from Levi to y'all (if you read my levi/reader longfic you might recognise them lol)

LEVI PROPOSING OUT OF NOWHERE summary: when the Captain decides that the best time to propose is in a cramped cargo room in an airship on your way back after a month of being held captive in Liberio. Takes place after the Raid. warnings: mentions of torture, sexual tension

“Levi, he knew,” you whisper. “Eren fucking knew I was in Liberio, this whole time. Did he know I was being tortured too?” 

You sound desperate, and you hate it. You already know that you lost Eren, so why do you bother asking? Why? “I get that we sometimes have to make sacrifices – I get that some things are more important, like our comrades, the war, but–“

“It’s not,” Levi cuts you off, with so much finality that you pause your rant. You close your mouth with a small snap, eyes wide as you look at him.

“It’s not,” he repeats. “Nothing’s worth what you went through. Nothing.” His gaze is intense as he looks back at you, his jaw set.

You’re not sure what to say. The silence stretches between you, and Levi just keeps looking at you. Staring at you, like he did the first time you saw him on that training ground years ago, except now, he’s not looking at you as if he’s trying to figure you out, but as if he knows you.

Just as his burning stare and the silence is about to freak you out, Levi finally speaks.

“Marry me.”

Your jaw drops.

Your eyes widen.

Your fingers latch onto Levi’s uniform, twisting the fabric in your hands, as if you want to make sure he’s really here, and that you’re not still in that damn cell, dreaming all this up.

No. No – that would be too cruel.

The silence that follows is impossibly even more charged than before as you struggle to comprehend the meaning of those two words. “Levi, I…”

“Obviously, only if you want–”

“Of course I want to!” The panic in your voice would’ve probably been funny under different circumstances.

“Oh.” The intensity of Levi’s gaze mellows into something softer, and colour starts rising to his cheeks.

“Of course I want to, dumbass,” you say, still struggling to get the words out. “I just didn’t think you cared about…stuff like that.”

“Me neither.”

The admission doesn’t offend you, because you’d expected it. You frown at him. “So, what changed?”

With a sigh, he tips back his head, throat bobbing as he gulps. “Meeting you,” he murmurs. “Falling in love with you. It’s funny, because I don’t remember it happen. It’s as if I just woke up one day and realised that it’d always been like that – me, loving you. And I didn’t know how not to.” He lowers his gaze again to look directly at you. “I love you.” 

Tears fill your eyes. And for once, it’s not due to anger or grief or pain, but happiness and love, so much of it that you feel like your heart is about to leap out of your chest. The feeling is disgustingly sweet and sappy, but you wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

“I love you too, Levi.”

He then says your name, softly, almost caressing it as it leaves his lips. “Will you have me?”

You nod, a single tear slipping down your cheek. “Yes, Levi. Yes, of course I will. And you know–” you stumble over the words, “–that you already have me.”

“Promise?”

“Promise.”

He smiles at you. A smile with no restraint, something so pure and genuine that you want to bottle it and store it in a jar so you could bring it with you wherever you went.

Levi’s eyes don’t stray from yours as he moves his hand from your waist to what looks like a pocket sown into his uniform. Your breath hitches in your throat when he pulls out a small, plain box.

“When did you buy a ring?” you blurt.

He grimaces, fiddling with the box in his hands. You raise your brows at him – Levi doesn’t fiddle.

“When I ordered the dagger,” he finally mumbles, averting his gaze.

“Dagger– wait, you mean…what?”

“The dagger,” he repeats impatiently, his ears growing red. “You know, piece of metal stuck to a handle? Sharp and pointy?”

You scowl at him. “You know that’s not what I meant. I was just surprised is all.” 

He gives you a flat look. “Don’t see what for.”

“Come on Levi, that’s got to be what – two, three years ago? Don’t tell me you bought the ring three years ago.” The thought makes your head spin, because that must mean that he’s been carrying around–

that he’s been wanting to–

that during this whole time–

“Just because you didn’t know what you wanted doesn’t mean I hadn’t already made up my mind,” he says stubbornly.

You blink a couple of times, not knowing whether to feel shocked or flattered or annoyed because of his presumptuousness. Or your own predictability. “Wow. Just…wow.”

“Are you done gaping like an idiot?” Levi snaps. “Or do you want to see the damn ring?” His ears have grown bright red, and you’d be lying if you said you didn’t find it incredibly endearing.

You immediately sober up, however, when he closes his fingers around the small box and starts shoving it back into his pocket.

“Wait– wait, okay I’m sorry!” You grab his arm to stop him, reaching for the box. “Sorry, sorry, I was being a jerk!” Letting out a huff of breath, you turn serious again. “Please, show me?”

With a roll of his eyes, Levi slowly opens his fist to flick open the lid of the small box. A rush of excitement courses through you as you lean closer to get a look.

The ring is nothing particularly showy – just a plain silver band, resting on a nest of black fabric. You catch a glimpse of an engraving on the inside. Promise, it reads.

“I know it’s not much,” Levi says, his eyes guarded as he watches your expression. “But I thought you might prefer something like this instead of anything too big or flashy. Of course, if you’d rather–“

But before he can finish his sentence, you catch his mouth in a quick, but firm kiss. His eyes widen and he stops talking, looking almost shocked when you pull away.

“Stop being stupid for a moment, will you? Levi, this is perfect.”

He clears his throat, looking flustered for a couple of seconds before he regains his bearings. Carefully, he picks up the ring and holds out his hand, palm up. “May I?”

Heart fluttering in your chest, you hold out your own hand. Levi slips the ring onto your fourth finger with ease and doesn’t let go of you for a while. He fingers brush lightly over your knuckles before he intertwines them with yours, raising both your hands to his lips to place a light kiss to the tips of your fingers.

It reminds you of the first time he told you that he loved you, and heat rises to your cheeks at the memory. Apparently, you’re not the only one, because Levi suddenly pulls you closer, slotting your hips against his. You let out a small gasp, and Levi closes his eyes, letting out a quiet, breathy sound that sends a jolt straight to your core.

After moment, however, he sighs. “Unfortunately, we can’t spend the rest of the flight in here.”

“A shame,” you agree.

“Yeah. Fuck, I should’ve waited till we got back.”

“Hm.”

[bumblebeeonthistle]

this isn't a query, rather its abt defy on a03 (ryo's harem lmao). i rly rly rly cant wait for your new chapters… its been an incredibly long time since i've genuinely fallen in love with a fanfic and binge read it in one go… usually i back out in 2 minutes if its boring or too inconsistent with their canonical personalities….. but this felt so canon, like this would happen if someone like ryo rly ended up in windbreaker.... and ryo's personality is the absolute best. its giving 'that time i reincarnated into an otome game with characters from my favourite anime and earned myself a reverse harem' vibe😂😭. and she is so strong im in love with this oc. i'm so freakin excited for ur hiatus to end, but get tons of rest and work done and be healthy ok? tons of loveee❤️❤️❤️ oh i remembered... i didnt expect suo to undress in front of everyone tbh, cuz there are so many theories of him having tattoos or scars or brands... so tht sleepover and his willingness to go to the onsen with the protag startled me. other than tht its all good

Hi, and tysm for this long and thoughtful message!

Okay firstly, I just want to say that you make an excellent point with regards to the scenes with Suo during the sleepover and onsen incident! I wrote most of this fic when I first started reading wbk, and I think only the chapters just up to the Noroshi Arc had been posted. I initially intended for the sleepover to be at the school or at Ryo's and first later added Kiryu's house as the location after I read the chapter about them visiting him. Ngl, at that point I had kind of forgotten what I wrote about Suo, and now that you point it out, I want to re-write those parts of the fic. I'll probably do that at some point, when I get the time.

I also just want to say thank you for this message! I'm super happy to hear that you enjoyed the fic and that you like Ryo. She's so dear to me, so I get so happy when you guys like her too! And ty for your kind words – I really really wanted to update this fic more this spring, but med school is always more demanding than I anticipate (why do I keep being surprised? LMAO) and now, my exams are coming up again soon.

HOPEFULLY, during my summer vacation, I'll have lots of time to write! I can't wait to get back to updating this fic. Tysm to everyone who still reads and follows the fic, for being so patient and understanding<3

[bumblebeeonthistle]

part I | part II summary: the first time Levi sees you after you've been held captive in Marley...

You and Levi stare at each other for a moment.

Then, a horrid sound escapes him, something between a choked gasp and a relieved sigh. He stumbles towards you, unusually clumsy as he reaches for you and pulls you close, so close that you lose your breath in the embrace.

You take in his familiar scent, the sound of his beating heart, the way his hair tickles your skin. You think you’re crying into his shoulder, but he doesn’t comment on the snot and tears bound to stain his uniform, as he might have done had the situation been different.

“I didn’t know,” he breathes, his voice barely audible, even as his breath tickles the shell of your ear. “I didn’t know.”

You open your mouth to ask him what he means, but he continues speaking and you let him. “I didn’t know if you were alive. I didn’t know what’d happened to you. I didn’t know if I’d ever–“

He pauses. His expression is pained and verging on desperate as he pulls away, just a little, to properly look at you. He does it slowly and carefully, as if you could disappear from the merest breath of wind.

You get impatient. You step closer, reaching out to cup his jaw, your thumb gently brushing over his cheek. His eyes flutter shut and he leans into your palm, his breath stuttering. You notice his lashes glistening in the dim light.

“I didn’t know,” he repeats. “I hated it. I hated it so much, so much. I hated not knowing. I’m sorry I couldn’t come sooner. I’m so fucking sorry. I would’ve– I should’ve–“

“Levi?” 

He opens his eyes, and you find the grey the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen (the world could lose colour, you wouldn’t care, as long as you could still see the grey in his eyes while he looked at you like you were the only thing in the world worth caring about).

“I’m okay, Levi,” you say because in that exact moment, it’s the truth.

He sighs your name in return. Your heart flutters in your chest, like it did the first time he’d said your name like that – with affection and longing, in a forest at night, when you were still just a cadet.

It reminds you of the promise you made to Levi. You don’t remember if it was before one of his missions, or before the Battle of Trost, or before the 57th Expedition, but you did.

And you intend to keep it.

part I | part II summary: the first time Levi sees you after you've been held captive in Marley...

You and Levi stare at each other for a moment.

Then, a horrid sound escapes him, something between a choked gasp and a relieved sigh. He stumbles towards you, unusually clumsy as he reaches for you and pulls you close, so close that you lose your breath in the embrace.

You take in his familiar scent, the sound of his beating heart, the way his hair tickles your skin. You think you’re crying into his shoulder, but he doesn’t comment on the snot and tears bound to stain his uniform, as he might have done had the situation been different.

“I didn’t know,” he breathes, his voice barely audible, even as his breath tickles the shell of your ear. “I didn’t know.”

You open your mouth to ask him what he means, but he continues speaking and you let him. “I didn’t know if you were alive. I didn’t know what’d happened to you. I didn’t know if I’d ever–“

He pauses. His expression is pained and verging on desperate as he pulls away, just a little, to properly look at you. He does it slowly and carefully, as if you could disappear from the merest breath of wind.

You get impatient. You step closer, reaching out to cup his jaw, your thumb gently brushing over his cheek. His eyes flutter shut and he leans into your palm, his breath stuttering. You notice his lashes glistening in the dim light.

“I didn’t know,” he repeats. “I hated it. I hated it so much, so much. I hated not knowing. I’m sorry I couldn’t come sooner. I’m so fucking sorry. I would’ve– I should’ve–“

summary: The Levi Squad and Hange are fleeing after being discovered in Marley. Levi gets hurt and wakes up on the ship back to Paradis – only to find that you're not with them...

The world is hazy when Levi wakes up. He finds himself looking up at a clear blue sky, tufts of white clouds lazily breezing past, the sun bright and warm on his skin, the ground rocking gently below him.

And, for a split second, he thinks he might’ve died.

Not that he’s ever believed in an afterlife, but if such a thing existed, surely it would be something as disgustingly cliché as this, right?

Except, something isn’t right. If he were dead, he should be in Hell, and he’s quite sure Hell doesn’t have baby blue skies.

But then, he feels the pain. As if someone stuck a knife in his gut, then smashed his head against a wall…

Maybe, he is in Hell after all. And if you’re not here, then surely, this can only be Hell.

His own personal Hell, at least.

Letting out a sigh, he thinks of you.

And then…he remembers.

With a start, he tries to sit, but immediately, hands on his shoulders hold him down. “You’re not going anywhere before I’m done with you,” someone snaps. It sounds like Hange. “Armin, help me with the– yes, that one please.”

Levi finally finds the strength to open his mouth to ask the question that’s been burning on the tip of his tongue since he realised that he was not, in fact, dead. “Where is she?”

The people around him still and turn quiet. As if he just said something terrible. He tries again. “Where is she?” When he attempts to get up this time, no one tries to stop him. His entire middle is covered in thick bandages, making him feel stiff and clumsy, and his head is pounding mercilessly.

“Where is she? Damn it, tell me!” He grabs the collar of Hange’s coat, pulling them close until their noses almost touch. He tries again, even if he already knows the answer. “Where. Is. She.”

Hange’s eyes turn sad. Levi realises he hasn’t seen them sad since Erwin died and suddenly, he wishes that he truly were dead. Because anything, anything would be better than the next words coming out of Hange’s mouth.

“I’m sorry, Levi.”

Levi doesn’t know what to do with himself. “You’re…sorry? What the fuck does that mean?”

To his surprise, it’s Jean who answers. “She wasn’t there when we found you. And we had to get you to the ship, otherwise you’d have bled out. We must’ve had all the guards in Liberio on our heels, and then, two of the shifters turned up. The Armoured Titan and someone else – the Jaw titan would be my best bet. We couldn’t wait any longer.”

“So, let me get this straight.” Levi’s voice is surprisingly cold, compared to how breathless he feels. “You couldn’t find her and she didn’t show up, so you just…left her? In fucking Liberio? When the shifters have RETURNED? WHAT THE FUCK WHERE YOU THI–“

“Oi, don’t strain yourself, you’ll rip open your stitches–“

“I told you he’d have a fit when he found out…”

“Oh, shut up, Connie.”

 “At least we know they won’t kill her, now that–“

“How can you be sure?”

“Come off it, of course Reiner wouldn’t–“

“Don’t be so naïve, Sasha.”

“Well, surely, Zeke knows to keep her alive, I mean–“

“Do you forget that it was fucking Zeke who almost crushed her to death the last time those fuckers invaded–“

“WILL YOU ALL JUST SHUT UP?”

It occurs to Levi that he can’t even recall which expression you’d held the last time he saw you. Did you smile at him? Did you see him getting injured before you disappeared? Do you know he survived? Where did you go?

When will he see you again?

Not if, but when.

He refuses to think of any other option.

It hurts, thinking about you, as if someone had reached into his body to squeeze all his organs to a pulp. It reminds him of his injury, which hurts much less than the thought of never seeing you again, and he glances down at his bandaged torso. Someone must’ve cut away his jacket and shirt, because the blood-stained rags are pooling around his waist.

“It didn’t’ hit anything fatal – at least, I don’t think it did,” Hange informs him. “But it’s hard to tell with you Ackermans, because I’m sure you’d survive wounds which actually would be fatal to the rest of us.”

Levi just nods. He couldn’t care less about his wound, as long as he knows he’ll survive long enough to see you safe again. “How far are we from Paradis?”

“A little over half-way,” Hange replies. “We can’t turn back – we just shook off the ship they sent after us.”

Levi doesn’t reply. He’s an awful swimmer, and even if he weren’t, there’s no way he could make his way back to Liberio by himself now. He’s always been pragmatic, except when it comes to you – when it comes to you, he always seems to lose his head.

This time though, it won’t be like that. It won’t. He has already made the mistake of panicking over losing you one time too many, and he’s no use to you if he panics. No use to anyone, really.

So, Levi will make himself useful. If only because it’ll increase his chances of getting you back faster.

The others all eye him warily. They’re probably worried he’ll go berserk and start attacking them – which must be why they’d removed all his daggers from his person while he was unconscious. He knows their weight and pressure against his body so well that he instantly knows they’re gone.

Hange is the only one not looking at him as if he were a rabid animal ready to bite. “We’ll get her back,” they just say.

Levi looks at them, his eyes hard. “Of course we will.”

[bumblebeeonthistle]

Hello, Bee (can I call you that?)! I have a question about Defy: if Ryo started calling all the boys by their first names, who would be the most affected (as in, over the moon)?

Of course, you can call me Bee!🫶🫶

Hm, actually, that's a good question because they're all so down bad lol.

Of course, you already call Kaji by his first name, but as for the others...

Then I think Sakura and Nirei would be the ones who'd most openly freak out about it. Sakura would go tomato-red in the face (of course) and Nirei would get all teary-eyed and start stuttering some kind of gibberish. And no doubt they'd both be over the moon about it, even if (cough, Sakura) wouldn't admit it.

The other boys wouldn't be less affected, but they probably wouldn't be as obvious and vocal about it as Sakura and Nirei.

It would definitely put Suo on cloud nine – he'd smile and get that very intense look in his eye that to others might be on the verge of a little creepy, but he wouldn't be able to help himself. And you, of course, would just return his smile and give Suo heart palpitations.

Kiryu would try to play it off cool, but inside, he'd be ecstatic. He already flirts shamelessly, but he'd probably turn his advances up a notch and smile smugly every time he thinks no one is looking (people would totally notice though because he keeps smiling like a fool out of nowhere).

Togame would, like Kiryu, try to be chill about it, but hearing you say his name would make his heart soar and melt his spine to a puddle (yk, because he already can't deny you anything but this would really push him over the edge). Also, I said he'd try to play it cool, but of course Choji and Wanijima and the rest of Shishitoren would see right through him and tease him endlessly about it.

Endo, I honestly don't think would care a lot about that. Because he's spent so much time following you and observing you (cough, stalking you), he feels like he already knows you. Or maybe, he would be affected – maybe, it'd stir some odd feeling inside him that he can't recognise and doesn't know what to do with. I haven't expanded much upon their relationship in the fic yet, so I can't really decide which one it'd be. Ig you guys can decide what you most believe in?

Thank you for the question, anon, that was a fun little exercise! And now ig I already know how I'm going to write their reactions when Reader starts calling them by their first names in the fic (bc she will, at some point).
