first chapter of my rivamika fic Figure You Out is up!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Formerly called Dare to Try, and even more formerly called something else that I won't be reminding anyone of as I'd like to purge it from the internet one day lol

this is a re-write of a story I started over a decade ago... because that's how long I've been in this fandom.

I'm simultaneously excited to be part of this fandom once again and so, so nervous to be sharing written work because of how long it's been. I'm very insecure about my writing abilities if you can't tell ^^'

I respect all ships, so i ask anyone stumbling upon this to do the same for me. If rivamika isn't for you, you don't have to tell me.

WIP Wednesday!

This week I'm sharing a one-shot I started writing last night based on a prompt I happened to find. Worked on it for about 2 hours last night, hoping to finish it later today! Trying to keep it simple and not go ham, but that's proving to be harder than I thought lol

If there's anything in particular you want to see more of, let me know and maybe I'll share more this weekend (see here, here and here for more WIPS/projects I'm working on)

Based on the prompt: moment of connection with a rival; seeing them get ready to sleep in their car after losing their home.

After a particularly nasty day at work, Mikasa’s bad day only gets worse when her car—which also serves as her bed—refuses to start.

It’s only temporary, she forced herself to remember. Those three words would become her mantra when she showered at the gym, ordered the cheapest takeout, or struggled to get comfortable in the back seat of her car at night. Only a few more weeks, she would tell herself when moving as much of her check as possible into savings, keeping just enough for the laundromat, her monthly gym payment for shower access, gas, and food. The first sign of hope came in the form of a new promotion advertised at her job two weeks after her plight began. The new responsibilities gave her some anxiety, but it came with a significant pay raise and a bonus that would cover nearly all her expenses—if she got the job, she reminded herself. And it was a big if, at that, because her only competitor was her workplace rival who just so happened to share her last name. Levi Ackerman. A name that often brought a bitter taste to her mouth, especially when their peers made the assumption they were related—or worse, married. After working alongside one another for nearly six years, the rivalry that had formed almost instantly on her first day had only grown more intense. Where she excelled at charming clients with her naturally warm disposition, he found just as much success with his “straight to the point, you won’t get a better deal than this” style approach, even with his cold demeanor. Just when one thought they’d outdone the other, they’d be floored with the news of the other's team obtaining new clients, or breaking new sales records the former had just set earlier in the week.

ironic how the most destructive titan is given to the most gentle people.

Very much so intentional on Marley's part, give the most powerful weapon to the most docile person and they'll be too afraid to ever use it against you.

I think one of the reasons anti-zutara arguments bother me so much is that zutara isn't real. everyone in their head has a different understanding of what zutara would look like in practice based on their impressions of these characters. like if you're making a post critiquing kata//ang then everyone has a concrete understanding of what we're actually discussing.

so when someone makes an anti-zutara take, it usually looks like either 1) bashing the fans for being annoying (when no fandom is uniquely awful) or 2) fighting an invisible ghost lmao. "zutara is wrong because it romanticises toxic masculinity and katara would never be fire lady". katara and zuko are feeding turtle ducks and he's helping her rebuild the southern water tribe in my imagination so I have no clue what you're talking about, I'm sorry.

"what groceries u been into recently" is actually a great question, there's a bunch of good conversations inside it

#i have a toddler so she dictates the groceries #lots of fresh berries #and sweet potato #she tried curry and liked it so thats a plus #anything with a sauce I can hide veggies in is also a plus

There is one person who constantly asks me random questions about one of my aus and I love it....

Its just one person, but the fact that even one person cares as much as I do about these stoopid little characters and this stoopid little trope just makes me so happy.

Im so grateful

happy to hear this! <3

can you guys recommend me some fic about rivamika ship

smackermans

why did I put this in the replies when reblogs exist now the links should be clickable

Listing just a few rivamika fics I like, ranging from G to E ratings.

G: Aubade by onigirdorkk. Very sweet and lighthearted canon compliant one-shot.

T: Inexorable by alienheartattack. A bit more spicy but overall pretty tame. Single mom Mikasa has to bring her baby to work, said baby starts bonding with her boss (Levi). It’s a really cute fic overall.

M: Determination by ChaosIsBeauty23. Multichapter, explores Levi and Mikasa’s relationship with a canon rewrite from Return to Shiganshina to the end, and a little post-canon.

E: Devils We Chase by LamentableBrat. if you’re into more explicit stuff, this one is STEAMY but also has a really interesting story.

I could recommend so many more but those cover a good bit. Honestly my advice would be to search the Levi/Mikasa tag on AO3 and sort/filter to your liking!
