I would never fall in love again until I found her I said, "I would never fall unless it's you I fall into" I was lost within the darkness, but then I found her I found you

The most beautiful commission by Ploams of Jean Kirstein and my post-canon Attack on Titan OC Edith Prewitt, from my fic 'The Letters She Wrote'

The way that Jean is looking at her makes me absolutely feral. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING THEM TO LIFE PLOAMS!!!

ARIA MARKS - (post canon) Mikasa Ackerman x Original Character

Aria's been floating in and out of my head as another character in my post-canon verse for a while now. I haven't spent too much time thinking about her because I wanted to focus my energy into The Letters She Wrote, since that's the intro fic to my post-canon OC/CC world.

Still, even though I don't spend as much time thinking about her, she's in my head and pops up every once and a while. Over the last few days she's been around a lot so I've been slowly piecing together some things about her and I figured I'd post them (as well as a short fic preview) to give them somewhere to go! So here's everything I know about her so far:

She meets Mikasa post canon, after Mikasa comes back to Shiganshina, and they start living together.

Because of Mikasa's PTSD and depression that begins after everything in canon, Aria pretty quickly slips into a sort of caregiver role for her and does the bulk of the household chores while Mikasa heals (both physically and mentally)

Aria is a musician/singer and plays the piano

She works late night shifts as an entertainer/sex worker where she can perform her music (she has several very dedicated patrons that often give her gifts)

She's a redhead, which is an idea I love because it ties in the symbolism of the red colour of Mikasa's scarf!

Her character colour is light blue

She's an aromantic lesiban but sleeps with men for work

She has scars on her left arm and I'm still trying to find out why but I think it has something to do with whatever she was up to during the rumbling

She has a pretty bubbly/positive personality and will flirt with anyone that breathes. She specifically thinks it's funny to make men squirm because they're weak willed and easy to please.

Her romance with Mikasa is a very slow burn that starts from a place of loneliness and desperation and eventually blooms into a place of healing and safety. There's a strong sense of "I've loved before, and you'll never replace the person I lost; but what we have is special too and I don't want to lose it".

Mikasa and Aria end up having a very nontraditional relationship (since I headcanon Mikasa as heterosexual and Aria is aromantic) but they still love each other very much and are each other's life partners.

Everything about her is very subject to change and I have no idea what her backstory is. But I'll figure it out slowly, just like I have with everything else!

FIC PREVIEW:

Aria stared down at the worn stone at the base of the tree:

Here forever, it read, resting quietly.

This was the place Mikasa was always visiting. Always wandering off too. Always spending hours sitting or thinking or- crying… Aria figured she did a lot of that, based on how she always came home with her eyes red and swollen before excusing herself to the bedroom for the rest of the night. 

It was here.

At the base of this huge tree, on top of the hill, overlooking Shiganshina.

This is where Eren Jaeger was buried, 6 feet under, along with Mikasa’s entire heart.

Aria scowled. “You’ve got some real audacity,” she told the stone, “you know that?”

The stone- the grave- didn’t reply. It was a rock, it couldn’t. But still, Aria continued:

“You’re a selfish jerk. Wiping out pretty much the entire world wasn’t enough for you, was it? You had to leave her like this too. Well, guess what, I’m glad you’re gone. I’m glad you’re dead and I’m glad you’re never coming back. I don’t like you. And even if you weren’t dead, I’d kill you myself!”

Her hands clenched into fists at her side as she continued to scowl and the world went completely quiet around her.

Even the gentle breeze, that had previously been causing the leaves above her to flutter, had enough sense to come to a quick halt.

“I’m going to make her smile again,” Aria said confidently. “I’m going to make her smile so widely and laugh so loudly and for a second- even just one second- she’s going to forget you ever existed!”

With a dignified huff, Aria spun around to walk back down the hill.

She got three paces away before she stopped.

No. That wasn’t good enough.

He didn’t get it yet. He didn’t get the rage that Aria was feeling. The frustration. The pain. The way her heart broke every time Mikasa returned home and tried to hide her tears. The way Mikasa flinched at the sound of a merchant accidentally dropping a large box outside. The way she tossed and turned in the night with words of “Eren” and “don’t go” and “stay with us” mumbled against her lips. 

It wasn’t fair. It wasn’t fair that Mikasa was here and Eren was just-

All he had to do was die.

Dying was easy.

Being left behind… that was the real hell.

Aria quickly turned back around and pointed directly at Eren’s grave. “ONE DAY I’M GOING TO MAKE HER SO HAPPY!” she yelled. “SO MUCH HAPPIER THAN YOU EVER COULD!! SO HAPPY THAT YOU’LL FEEL IT FROM THE DEEPEST, DARKEST CORNER OF HELL!!”

The breeze picked up again.

Fallen leaves danced around Aria’s feet.

And a bird flew above her.

Aria didn’t move. She just stood there glaring at a headstone- at the base of a tree, on top of a hill, overlooking Shiganshana. She just stood there and glared. 

Mikasa Ackerman would smile again. No matter how long it took. She’d smile.

Aria Marks would make sure of it.

Her hand dropped to her side and she confidently nodded.

Suddenly… Aria’s shoulder was covered in bird shit.

LEO HOLT (Post Canon AoT - CC x OC)

Here's the second character I've been developing on my Attack on Titan OC instagram account and I'll be posting to my Ao3 eventually.

He's extremely tied to my other character (Edith) and I absolutely adore their relationship. Hell yeah to nontraditional relationships!!!! Allow a gay man and an asexual to raise a child together I'M BEGGING YOU!!!

Anyway, I rambled enough in Edith's post.... I have nothing left to say besides I'm sorry Logan (who belongs to my wonderful friend @ploams and has been added to my story with permission).

I can't draw but I'm good with picrew and canva -> Picrew Used

EDITH PREWITT (Post Canon AoT - CC x OC)

She's 1/3 that I've been developing on my Attack on Titan OC instagram account and I'll be posting to my Ao3 starting (hopefully) in April.

Her story takes place post canon and picks up right when Jean and the rest of the ambassadors return to Paradis. This fic is basically the intro fic to my post canon world, which I'm going to continue to build in other fics (Connie, Mikasa, and Pieck are getting love interests before I die I SWEAR IT). She's shipped with Jean (which was hopefully obvious).

Logan Cole belongs to my amazing friend @ploams_ and he's been added into my fic with their permission. I'm super excited (but also extremely nervous) to write someone else's OC!

I can't draw worth shit and I used these picrews -> Edith's Main Design & Hair References
