As the last legitimate heir of Hizuruâs ancient shogunate, Mikasa returns to her motherâs ancestral land; reviving a dead monarchy and ascending the East Sea throne as the nationâs new age Empress.
When the imperial court decides that itâs time for Mikasa to choose a royal consort, hilarity and chaos ensue as the new monarch decides to smoke out the candidates her way - resulting in a wild goose chase for her royal advisors and living kin.
Enters their last hope - Reiner Braun, former Vice Commander of the Marleyâs Warrior unit, one of Worldâs Saviors and personal yojimbĹ slash matchmaker (?) to the Empress Mikasa Azumabito nĂŠe Ackerman of New Hizuru, who would sooner change her whole damn mind about becoming an unmarried ruler.

Featured Pairing(s): ReinerxMikasa, ArminxAnnie, LevixHange, JeanxPieck
Summary:
He only wants to secure the future of his loved ones through doing whatever it takes to save the remnants left behind by the recent ambush on Marley. With less than 2 years left, his only duty is to be a Warrior as he had been from the very beginning; sacrificing himself for a nation that owns but doesn't deserve his unwavering loyalty.
While she knowingly becomes the pawn of a clan she has recently discovered, hoping that she would finally be at a place where she belongs. Fighting for a united future of her loved ones and her bloodlines.
Both former enemies are thrown into a turbulent sea of obligations where feelings are sacrificed in pursuit of a prospering peace between three warring nations.
For the rest of their lives, at least until his last drawn breath, they both have to fulfill their duties and come as they are to each other - as a friend, a known enemy and an old memory to strangers intertwined in a web of political matrimony.

AU: Love Like This
Featured Pairing(s): ReinerxMikasa, ArminxAnnie
Summary:
A grieving mother finds herself confronting the shadows of her guilt, the long overdue failing of her marriage and memories of the one who could have been the moment they wheeled in an injured soldier from Marley straight into her operating room. The day she saved the life of Vice Commander Braun of Marleyâs prized Titan unit was also the day he saved her own lost soul in return.
More often, memories may be lost forever but the heart never lies. He still makes shivers dance down her spine heading down to her feet just like he used to do nine years ago and his heart still beats as hard for her the same way. Even when he canât ever remember why.

Featured Pairing(s): ReinerxMikasa, ArminxAnnie

Featured Pairing(s): ReinerxMikasa, LevixHange, JeanxPieck, ArminxAnnie (implied)
Summary:
As the alliance races against time and the Rumbling to stop Erenâs madness, the new plan forces the team to make an unexpected detour in Odiha, a coastal city south of Marley. They only had less than fourteen hours to get the water planeâs engine ready and to gather their bearings for what might just be their final confrontation with Eren.
When Mikasa struggles in between the lies she kept telling herself from the awful truth, he, out of everyone, sees her for the fraud that she was - a terrified young girl hiding behind this invincible facade, clinging to the last anchor of her livelihood, burdened by unbearable guilt.
Furtive glances and subtle touches told him what words couldnât.
If one last night alive is all that theyâve been given, then it would be a night of no prohibitions - one that theyâll carry to their graves. When the dawn breaks, it is time to return to their agonizing reality - moving forward towards inevitable death, when staying alive was no longer a possible option.
Perhaps, that one night in Odiha might leave behind a lasting mark that transcends beyond space, time, life, and even after death.

Link: AO3

AU: Unbreakable
Featured Pairing(s): ReinerxMikasa
Summary:
Koi No Yokan; âa sense a person has upon meeting another person that future love between them is inevitable. This is not the same as love at first sight." That was the term that Miss Kiyomi had taken the time to explain to her the night before. Sheâd just never expected that it could happen to her the very next day in the back alley of a fascinating patisserie.
She searches the streets of Marleyâs city for any possible glimpses of Erenâs shadow but finds herself in the paths of a handsome stranger instead. If only he wasnât wearing the red armband, maybe she wouldâve taken his charming offer to walk her home or she would have asked him out over a cup of hot coffee with a touch of vanilla ice-cream on top.
Maybe, just maybe. There could be a next time.
