What I love about Hange Zoe is that she’s both a smart, skilled leader of a bunch of deadly titan hunters, and the Steve Irwin of the snk universe. If something really bad happens to her I will flip many tables.
(I took some ~artistic license~ with the uniform and the 3DM gear)
My gift for @fruitpunchninja101
Hope you like it! More parts to some!
It all began several years ago. When they were just children…
----------
“Oi, careful of the sides Levi,” Kenny said.
“Your mother would kill me if ya’ fell overboard.”
Levi just nodded. He was around 12 years old at the time. Today he was out on his uncles fishing boat, helping out and just to get some outdoor time. Levi wasn’t really fond of it but with his mother busy with her work, someone needed to watch him for the day. Today though, was going to change and it was going to change for the better.
Kenny was passed out after having his lunch. Levi was fiddling with a fishing knife, bored out of his mind. Just then, there was a tug on the net. Kenny snorted but didn’t wake up. Levi went over and poked him but he still didn’t wake up.
“Tch…” Levi grumbled.
The net jerked again, but stronger this time. Levi walked over and turned to pulley on. His eyes went wide seeing what was in the net. There was a girl, around his age, maybe a year or so younger. She wasn’t any ordinary girl though…she was a mermaid. Her tail was brightly colored with a unique pattern, something like a mandarin goby fish. She wide, light brown eyes and medium-length dark brown hair that was kept tied up in an unkempt high ponytail with bangs parted down the middle. Levi moved closer. The mermaid looked at him. She hissed lightly at him.
“Whoa, easy,” Levi said.
The girl looked at the knife in his hand. Levi quickly put it away.
“I mean you no harm,” he said.
“Wh-who are you?” the girl asked.
“Levi Ackerman,” Levi said.
“You are?”
“Hanji…Hanji Zoe,” the girl replied.
“Hang on and I’ll get you free,” Levi said.
He pulled the net over the back of the boat and carefully lowered it. Levi helped Hanji get free. As he did, Levi noticed that her arm had a large cut on it.
“What happened?” Levi asked.
“It’s nothing…I’ll be fine,” Hanji replied.
“Let me help,” Levi said.
Hanji watched as he grabbed a red box. Levi held it out for her and opened it.
“It’s a first aid kit,” he said.
“All things to help you.”
Hanji nodded. Levi very carefully tended to her wound. After he was done, Hanji looked at the bandaging.
“Wow, you’re really good,” she said.
“My mom taught me,” Levi replied.
“What…what’s it like having a mom?” Hanji asked.
Levi looked at her.
“You…don’t have one?” he asked.
Hanji shook her head.
“I-I don’t have anyone,” she said.
“I’m the last of my kind. My parents were killed by poacher’s years ago. They died saving me.”
“So, you’re alone in the ocean?” Levi asked.
He felt bad for her. He couldn’t imagine life without his mother.
“Yeah…I mean I have my friend Sawney,” Hanji said.
“Is he a merperson?” Levi asked.
Hanji whistled. A fin appeared above the water. Moments later, a great white shark appeared.
“You have a shark…as a pet?” Levi asked.
“Yep! Just me and Sawney,” Hanji replied as she gently patted the sharks head.
“Well, now you have someone else,” Levi said.
“Me. I mean…if you’d like to be friends.”
Hanji smiled.
“I would like that very much,” she said.
That was the start of a friendship, that turned into something more.
----------
15 years later-
Levi made his way down to the secluded cove. He was excited to see her again and he knew she was excited to see him. As he reached the sandy shore a familiar voice called out.
“Leeeevvvviiiiii!”
Levi smiled a tiny bit.
“Hey Hanji,” he replied.
She pulled herself up onto the sand and smiled.
“I missed you,” Hanji said.
“I missed you too,” Levi replied as he sat down.
He pulled her close and gave her a kiss.
“We have got to be the most abnormal couple,” Levi said.
“A human and his mermaid,” Hanji replied with a laugh.
“You’re mine and no one else’s,” Levi said.
“We have been together for like 8 years now,” Hanji replied.
“And we will remain that way forever,” Levi said.
“Can we?” Hanji asked.
“What do you mean?” Levi asked.
“You’re human, born of the land…I’m born of the sea…” Hanji said.
Levi could hear the sadness in her voice. He tilted her head up and looked at her eyes.
“If I have to buy a new house, with a huge pool connected to the ocean on the beach so we can be together,” Levi said.
“I would cross the ocean and weather any storm to be with you Zoe.”
Hanji smiled and hugged him.
“Thank you Levi,” she said.
Levi hugged her back. Moments later, Hanji’s stomach grumbled.
“Good thing I brought lunch,” Levi said.
“Did you bring cinnamon rolls?!” Hanji asked.
“Of course I did,” Levi replied.
“I still find it weird, that of all the human food you have tried, you have an obsession with cinnamon rolls.”
Hanji was already munching on one.
“They’re good!” she said with a mouthful of ooey gooey goodness.
Levi shook his head and smiled. They pair sat, ate and talked. Just like they did every afternoon. Levi didn’t like having to leave Hanji alone in the ocean, but he couldn’t easily get her to his place. He worried something would happen to her. One day…that fear came true…
Levihan | Rated for mild swearing and mild deed-doing | This is a secret santa gift for @hanji-zoe103 💕
It’s on Ao3! https://archiveofourown.org/works/28429827
Hanji is born of white foam, where the heavens collide with the sea, and Levi loves her with a fierceness that would make the tides jealous. Levi knows little of poetics, but Hanji promises to find him in the next life and the ones after.
And sure as the waves crashing into shore, she does.
It’s secret Santa again! Just wanna pop by and say Merry Christmas! I’ve got an idea for your gift and am writing it 💕 sorry it’s been a bit hectic lately!!! Hope you’re having a nice holiday!
Hello!
Merry Christmas to you as well!!
I’m super excited!! But no rush! I totally understand the hectic crazinesss!
Hope your holiday is going well and have a great rest of your week!
Levi getting distracted thinking about Hanji always gets to me, especially since he’s always portrayed as very precise with no room for carelessness on the battlefield. But no, it’s “how are HANJI and the others”, “I better get over there soon”.
Any AUs you love/wanna tell me about 😜 or would you like a canonverse gift?
Right?! He’s so precise UNTIL something happens and Hanji’s in danger or he doesn’t know what happened to her. Then like you said, it turns into “Are HANJI and the others okay?” haha!
Some of my fav AU’s are fantasy(merfolk/pirate/fairytale) and modern. I love the canonverse too!
Hey! It me your secret Santa! I’m dropping in to say hi and I hope mid-week is treating you well.
Also to get to know you a lil better!
So... what is it you like about levihan?
Hello!
There’s so much! I really love their relationship and how they’re always there for each other and can understand the other as well. When there was the explosion in the Shinganshia battle the first thing Levi was worried about was Hanji and her squad. He didn't know if she was okay, but then the relief you see on his face when he sees her later on. Same for when Hanji pretty much gave up everything to rescue Levi after he was nearly killed. She hid in the forest taking care of him.
Also that from the start, Hanji was nice to Levi. She just kinda pushed her way into his life when he joined the Scouts.
Hanji gets to see sides of Levi that no one else does. She understands him and if need be, will translate what he tries to say to others. They protect each other. Levi accepts Hanji as who she is, he doesn’t try to change her. Hanji is the same why with him.
2020 has been a difficult year for all of us (and for Levi and Hange.) Before we pretend this year never existed, let’s end it with an explosion of hearts and ships.

@levihanweek
Working for Sina Industries has always been a life long dream for Hange.As a wide eyed child,she would always watch live broadcasts of their space launches and tell herself one day shes gonna be there.Standing in mission control smiling as she watched one of her creations get sent to a different planet.Armed with a degree & a determined heart,she applied as an engineer.You could imagine her disappointment when she was crammed into an 8x12 cubicle in the basement to design and develop circuitry which their boss greedily takes credit for all the damned time.She’s pretty good at keeping a front that shes a pretty chill with all her bosses bullshit but she finally lost it when he started harassing a temp.Hange bravely spoke out and got into a heated argument with her boss.She got supended for a week after that.
It took almost six months before she was promoted to another 8x12 cubicle.Only this time,shes moving up on the infamous 17th floor.The place where they flung all the adept yet problematic employees.Its pretty much the same,shitty boss,intricate work but now on a higher pay grade and a lot more hearsay about her reputation.Its not so bad though,despite the lack of recognition and grueling work hours she met a handful of wonderful coworkers who shared the same pain.
“It’s Easter! We should do something!” Hanji said.
“Why? It’s a holiday for children,” Levi replied.
He did have a point. Easter, was mainly for hiding candy filled eggs for children to find. What were two grown ass adults going to do?
“Well we could have our own egg hunt or make Easter baskets!” Hanji said.
“I’m not too big a fan of sweets,” Levi replied.
Hanji flopped on his lap.
“You’re no fun!” she whined.
“We aren’t children idiot,” Levi replied.
Hanji pouted and had little tears in her eyes.
“Okay! Fine!” Levi said.
“What do you want to do?”
“Well, let’s get a basket of candy and then we can cuddle on the couch and watch a movie!” Hanji replied.
“….All right,” Levi said.
“But LIMIT your sugar intake.”
“Come on! It’s one of the few days where I can splurge on eating candy or chocolate!” Hanji whined.
“Okay, okay!” Levi said.
“But only for today.”
“Yahoooo!” Hanji exclaimed.
Levi smiled slightly. He liked seeing her happy. Hanji grabbed her jacket and purse.
“Where are you going? I thought we had Easter fun to do?” Levi asked.
“I need to get some Easter candy and chocolate bunnies and baskets!” Hanji said.
“I’ll be back before you know it!”
Levi looked in the freezer.
“While you’re there, can you pick up some strawberry cheesecake ice cream?” he asked.
Hanji blinked and stared at him.
“You like THAT flavor of ice cream?” she asked rather surprised.
“Yes,” Levi replied.
“That’s interesting…” Hanji muttered.
“What are you mumbling about?” Levi said.
“Just never took you for a strawberry cheesecake type person, especially in ice cream,” Hanji replied.
“I bought it on a whim thinking that it was a weird flavor you might like,” Levi said.
“It was like 3AM one night and I had a craving for something sweet, yet the only thing we had was that ice cream. Figured might as well try it and turned out it wasn’t terrible. I still prefer a more simple one but if we’re going to have a movie night, thought we could have that ice cream.”
Hanji kissed his cheek.
“You’re too cute,” she said.
“Tch, I’m not cute.” Levi grumbled, his cheeks a bit red.
“You are to me,” Hanji replied.
“I’ll be back soon!”
She grabbed her car keys and headed out. Levi made some tea and sat at the table.
----------
Hanji walked about the store gathering what she needed. Her basket was full of sweet goodies, two Easter baskets, and a card for Levi. She headed over to the frozen section. Hanji carefully scanned the ice cream section but there was hardly any left.
“Excuse me,” she called to a worker.
“How can I help miss?” they asked.
“Well, I was looking for a strawberry cheesecake ice cream but I don’t see it. Do you have any by chance?” Hanji replied.
“Ah, sorry. Our freezer had a malfunction yesterday and we had to throw out almost all of our products due to them thawing,” the worker said.
“We’ll be fully stocked by next week though.”
“Ah, I see, well thank you,” Hanji replied.
She started to go towards checkout.
----------
Levi was reading a book when his phone rang.
“Hello,” he answered.
“Hey Levi!” Hanji replied.
“Everything all right?” Levi asked.
Hanji didn’t call him too often so it worried him a bit.
“Yes, I’m fine,” Hanji replied.
“Just calling to let you know that the store is all out of the ice cream you wanted.”
“No worries, I’ll just go get it,” Levi said.
“I can go to another store, I’m already out,” Hanji replied.
“No, it’s all right, gives me a chance to stretch my legs,” Levi said.
“If you’re sure you want to,” Hanji replied.
“Yeah I’ll get it,” Levi said.
“All right, see you at home later,” Hanji replied.
“See you at home,” Levi said.
He hung up and got ready to leave. Levi wanted to get Hanji a card and some flowers as well. He locked the house and headed out.
----------
Hanji stood in line, ready to get home. She hoped to set up before Levi got back. She felt a tap on her shoulder.
“Excuse me, but you dropped this,” a male said.
Hanji turned around. Behind her was a very tall and slim man who appeared to be well-built. He had short, coarse-looking dark hair that reached to his neck and a thin beard along his jawline. He looked to be a middle-aged man with wrinkles around his eyes, which were small and piercing. The man was wearing a simple white shirt with a black tie that wasn’t fully done up, and a large black overcoat that reached past his knees. He also had a bowler hat with a white band around it. His expression was weird, a scowl but he wasn’t talking as if he was annoyed.
“Oh, uh thanks,” Hanji replied.
She took the box of candy eggs from him.
“Shopping for someone special?” the man asked.
“My boyfriend and I are having a little Easter party tonight,” Hanji replied.
“Sounds fun,” the man replied.
“Well I hope you have a wonderful evening.”
He tipped his hat to her and walked off.
“Weird…” Hanji thought.
She got checked-out, paid and left. Hanji didn’t notice the shadow that followed her. She drove home and parked, glad to see that Levi was still out. She gathered all the bags and headed inside. Hanji tapped the door with her foot to close it; before it closed the shadow following her slipped in.
“Phew! Heavier load than I anticipated,” Hanji said.
She put away all the groceries and got her Easter baskets all ready to go. Her card for Levi and a special tea placed right in the front of his basket.
“Well that outta make a fine Easter basket but I got a better idea for a gift,” came a male voice.
Hanji spun around. Leaning casually against the wall was the man from the store.
“Who the heck are you?! How did you get into my house?!” Hanji demanded.
“Heh surprised Levi hasn’t mentioned me yet,” the man replied, casually walking towards her.
“Name’s Kenny, I’m his uncle. Also, it would be wise to make sure you’re not followed into your home while walking in.”
Hanji grabbed her phone and called Levi. Kenny grabbed it from her.
“Now, now, I don’t want ya’ ruining his surprise missy,” he said.
“Let go!” Hanji exclaimed.
“Calm yer’ yelling! I ain’t gonna do nothing bad,” Kenny said.
“You broke into my house and now are holding me captive!” Hanji replied.
“Broke into your house yes, the captive part, no!” Kenny said.
“All I’m doing is dressing ya’ up for your boyfriend.”
----------
“Hanji, I’m home,” Levi said walking inside.
He heard a thud and running footsteps.
“Hanji?” Levi said.
He put the bag of ice cream and other items on the counter. More noises came from the living room.
“Hanji what’s going on?” Levi asked as he headed over there.
“D-don’t come in here!” Hanji replied.
Levi continued on in. Right as he walked in, Hanji was running about trying to find a place to hide.
“D-don’t look! It’s embarrassing!” she exclaimed.
Levi froze dead in his steps. There she was, standing in the middle of the room in a bunny suit, ears, tail, black stockings and black heels. This wasn’t your average idea of a bunny suit; this was a full on Playboy-esque bunny suit. Purple velvet for the main torso part, white and pale pink on the ears, the tail was white as well.
“What happened?” Levi asked.
“S-some creep came in here and forcibly dressed me in this! Then dumped all my clothes in the mud so I had nothing to change into!” Hanji replied.
“WHO was in our house?” Levi said.
“Said his name was Kenny, your uncle…” Hanji replied, doing her best to try and cover herself.
“That pervert tch.” Levi grumbled.
“C-can you not look?” Hanji asked her face red.
“Hang here for a minute,” Levi replied.
He left. Several minutes later he came back. Hanji blinked looked at him.
“Levi…what the…” she stammered.
Levi had come back in wearing a grey bunny kigurumi. He didn’t feel all that “manly” in it but he figured if Hanji was embarrassed, he would be as well.
“Well it’s Easter s-so we should both be in a bunny suit of sorts,” Levi said.
Hanji laughed a bit.
“You look ridiculous and I want you to wear that all the time!” she said with a grin.
“No, only tonight,” Levi replied.
“Awww,” Hanji pouted.
“Okay, maybe I’ll get a variety of them and wear them on special occasions,” Levi replied.
“But only if you wear this for me more often.”
He smirked and Hanji blushed even more.
“W-well I suppose it’s a fair deal,” she replied.
“Good, we have ourselves a deal then,” Levi said.
“Now…”
He walked back to the kitchen and returned shortly after.
“Go change into this, I think you’ll find it more comfortable and you can borrow a pair of my boxers until I get your clothes cleaned up,” Levi said.
He handed her a purple bunny kigurumi.
“Awww you got one for me?” Hanji said taking it.
“Well I didn’t expect you to be dressed in thatwhen I got home and I thought I’d give you some extra Easter fun by having us wear these,” Levi replied.
“You’re seriously the best Levi!” Hanji said hugging him.
“Only for you,” Levi replied.
“Now go get changed and we can start our mini celebration.”
Hanji ran off and came back shortly after.
“I’m ready!” she said.
Levi smiled. He walked to her, pulled her head down and kissed her.
“Happy Easter Hanji,” Levi said.
She kissed him back.
“Happy Easter Levi,” Hanji said.
They got their baskets, ice cream and cards. Levi and Hanji had a lovely night watching fun movies, eating all the sweets they could and cuddling on the couch. They eventually ended up all snuggled together, sound asleep on the couch.
