Hey :-) I have a request for 16. "I -did- care about you, I just had no other choice." I hope you like it, if not that's absolutely no problem at all ♥ So it's a fem!reader and Colt and they secretly like eachother since forever when suddenly he has to leave for the mid-east war without saying goodbye or even telling her (maybe he was scared, he didn't want to hurt her or he just couldn't). A few days later she meets his parents randomly and when they tell her about it, she is angry of course, disappointed he simply left, thinking he doesn't care about her - apparently not even in a friendly way. But then some time later a letter for her arrives, where he apologizes to her, confesses maybe and whatever you can think of :) Lots of love for you!
SAYING GOODBYE IS SO HARD

a/n: hiya!! sorry this took so long! my computer broke and it took a while to fix but i’m back now!! I hope you enjoy and lots of love ♡ not proofread
Running into the Grice family was the last thing you had planned on. In fact, you had planned on avoiding anyone in that family for a while. After Colt disappeared without a trace you swear you felt your heart break in two. He hasn’t even bothered to say goodbye. You just woke up and he was gone. However, after running into his parents, you were now at a loss for words. the air around you felt thin. You felt like you couldn’t breathe. Colt’s parents had informed you, after you mentioned how he seemed to disappear, that he had left to fight in the mid-east war. You knew what that meant. And so with a quick apology, you muttered your condolences to his family, who had now lost Colt and Falco, before excusing yourself.
He had left. You weren’t stupid. You remember how those devils took out so many of your nation’s soldiers the night they attacked. You had been with Colt’s family that night, since you weren’t a warrior candidate, you were left to see the destruction of Liberio from the internment zone. You were stunned. The Attack Titan’s rampage in Liberio was a surprise for one, and catastrophic as well. The deaths of so many innocent people, the stench of death in the air. You were scared. But Colt came back. He always came back.
However, weeks passed after the news of the mid-east war. There was nothing. And the day the letter arrived you swear you felt your heart sink. Colt’s mother had hand delivered it to your door, tears in her eyes.
“Thank you for being so good to my son.” She would mumble before taking her leave.
With shaky hands you opened the crisp, white letter.
“I’m sorry.” It would start out. You felt dread enter the pit of your stomach as you continued to read.
“I’m sorry I didn’t say goodbye. I figured if I didn’t say goodbye, then maybe, by some chance, I’d get to come back and see you again. But I should have known better.
You don’t hate me… do you? I understand if you do. But I beg you to forgive me. I need to know you forgave me for leaving. I had to rescue my brother, avenge our people.
I had to make you proud of me.
I figured maybe, if I proved my worth to the Marleyans, I could get a better life for mom and dads And you.
I did care about you. I know you wouldn’t believe me. But I did do care about you. I’ll die caring about you. You are and always will be my best friend of course, but please know to me, you were more than that. I could see a life with you. A happy one. I hoped you could see one with me too.
So please, I ask you one thing, know I did care about you, I just had no other choice.”
Yours forever,
Colt
You watched as a drop of water landed on the letter you held. Was it raining? No, you weren’t outside. Reaching your hand up to touch your face, you were met with a wet sensation. You were crying. He wasn’t coming back, and there was nothing you could do about it. There was so much you had left to say to him that would never come to fruition. He didn’t even know how you felt. How you cherished every minute you spent together, or how you didn’t want to live if your life didn’t have him in it. You knew that saying goodbye was hard, but not getting to say goodbye was a million times worse.
a/n: scouts version here! writing reiner’s and porco’s made me sad.
warnings: death
reiner: the moment the words left zeke’s mouth, reiner’s emotions would immediately come crashing down. he stared tearily wide-eyed, not knowing what to think or do. all he could do was cradle his head with shaking palms, knees falling roughly to the ground as he profusely pleads for it all to be a lie. he begs and begs, his sobs piercing the air around him as he mourns for the loss of his light. his throat felt tight and his lungs felt empty. as he sits there, the reality of you being gone sinks in further and he finds himself having to place a hand on his heart because the pain was too unbearable for him.
bertholdt: shock is the first thing bertholdt feels. did reiner say, you died? he falls into a stage of denial. but the ringing rhythm of his pounding heart and the quivering of his lips tell him that you truly are gone. he lets out quiet sobs into the sleeve of his sweater and the guilt begins to wash over him. why wasn’t he there to save you? why was it you? why not him? his sobs get louder and he so tragically remembers the comfort of your words when he would feel this way. who would give that to him now?
annie: her eyes go wide and her jaw clenches. tears brim her eyes as they slowly turn dull and lifeless. annie would isolate herself within the confines of her room- once shared with you. she’d often sit on her bed, sheets and pillows sprawled about as she tucks her knees into her chest, hiding herself in the small space that was once filled with your melodious laughter and cheer. she curses herself, and she curses this war-wretched war that took away the love of her life.
zeke: being the war chief, zeke had a mask that he had to put on in front of his colleagues and superiors. but the second he was alone in his room, he lets out a sorrowing exhale, back sliding down to the floor. tears blur his vision and he holds his head tightly. he rocks back and forth, feeling the cold atmosphere of his empty room nip at his sweaty skin. he murmurs soft “im sorry”’s and continuously finds the need to swipe away at the endless tears streaming down his face. zeke doesn’t move from that position all night, eventually falling asleep alone for the first time in years.
porco: pure anger. porco would act the most hostile and rash out of them all. he just can’t control his emotions or actions anymore. he constantly spaces out and appears more intimidating than usual. but the bags under his eyes are a tell tale sign that he is more than just angry. he’s tired, tired of the war, tired of himself and tired of you not being there by his side like you always were. he breaks down in the privacy of his room, finding his anger bubble up again. he trashes the place- flings the chairs, flips the table, breaks the mirror, all while cursing and screaming out grievingly. by the end of it, he hands are cut and bloodied but he tunes out the pain because the ache in his heart is far insufferable.
pieck: pieck goes quiet. she sits down in the nearest chair because she feels her lungs fill up with burning agony. with her face buried in her hands, she sobs. she couldn’t believe it, her heart wouldn’t allow her too. she’s locked herself in her room more often as the days go by, and she takes lonely naps without you to pass the time. she hasn’t felt this way before. she’s never experienced so much pain all at once that she feels she might explode.
colt: always asks himself ‘why wasn’t i there for them?’ he curses himself, ‘i’m a warrior’, so why couldn’t he save you? zeke’s noticed him being less enthusiatic about warrior duties; dazing off, often appearing late, or sometimes not appearing at all. colt’s hands tremble in misery as he clunches the portrait of him and you by his bedside table. he was too cooped up in the horrors of his mind, laying lifelessly on his now too-big bed.
Your body froze at the sudden invasion of personal space .
You instinctively pulled away. You're sure he meant absolutely no harm and this was probably his way of flirting but physical touch upon meeting is a no-go.
You took a few steps back and wave your hands apologetically, "I'm sorry but (you actually weren't), I have to go and talk to some other people. I'll see you around?"
Your pitch was definitely getting higher, the tone you called, "I'm just a meek woman please don't get offended if I say no and please don't hit me."
The man started shaking his hands as well, "No, no, no I'm sorry… I made you uncomfortable. I apologize so much, I'm so sorry."
Oh shit maybe he was actually trying to be nice.
"Oh no no, your fine! I just had to go and do stuff," you say nervously.
So there you were, two complete idiots muttering apologies while shaking their hands.
"Uh… am I interrupting something Dr.?"
You looked over your shoulder and saw a very confused Erwin.
You mentally slapped yourself in the head.
"Nothing, Erwin, I'm just… you know let's just go I was taking a 2 minute break," you say finally.
Erwin cocked an eyebrow at you and nodded, "And you are? Oh where did he go?"
You look at Erwin, "What?"
Erwin gestured with his chin, "The person you were talking to. He vanished."
You turned around and true to Erwin's word he was gone.
Interesting.
"Anyways. Ready to present our plan to. Nile?"
Erwin nodded, "He's over talking to Nanaba and Rico."
You two briskly walked the center of the room, Erwin's hand resting at your hip to keep up the image.
"Ah isn't it the absolutely rare pair, [Last Name] and Smith," Nile chuckled as you approached him.
Rico and Nanaba looked absolutely bored out of their minds and you couldn't help but sympathize. Men like Nile were the reason why you wanted to quit this job. If it wasn't for your friends that you made you might have moved out of the city and just worked from home.
You resisted rolling your eyes at the man just because Nanaba coughed so loudly and shot you a "don't get too cocky" look.
Instead you placed your award winning smile.
"Ah Nile, still trying to flirt with Nanaba after what, 10 plus years?"
Erwin flicked your hip and you immediately say, "I'm just kidding right Erwin?"
Erwin smiled, "Yes [Nickname]. Enough about that, how are you doing Nile?"
You look at Erwin quizzically.
Really Erwin, the nickname?
"Well I was just going to comment on how quickly, you've moved on [Name]... Time does really fly when you're having fun," Nile said pretentiously.
You fisted your hands and released your grip on Erwin. Erwin tried to pull you back but you pinched his wrist and advanced forward to Nile. Furiously.
Nile started to step back and smirk but you could see the light in his eyes start to dim as you walked even faster. You stood in front of him and stared him down. Your hand connected with his shirt and gripped his tie, squeezing enough to choke him.
"Listen here you little piece of shit, I usually let this slide but you just disrespected me and my choices. You should be keeping yourself busy, doing your job here at the ball instead of poking into my business. If you're so obsessed with me why don't you just sign the goddamn contract."
Your eyes never left Nile's and you audibly heard him gulp, despite the loud chatter of the guests. You stuck your hand out and almost immediately Erwin placed the contract paper and the pen in your hand.
You shoved the paper in Nile's face and grabbed his wrist and stuffed the pen in it. He quickly grabbed onto the things and looked down.
"Rico is going to time you for 5 minutes to read that contract and guess what bud, you're gonna sign it because there really is nothing wrong with it," you say seethingly.
Rico made eye contact with you and calmly adjusted her glasses. She knew you were dead serious and pulled out her stopwatch to time Nile.
Nile made a throaty noise, but nothing came out. He flicked the papers and read through the words.
You turn to Rico and Nanaba, "Well I'll hope in 10 to 15 minutes I'll spend some more time with you at the after party?"
Nanaba smirked her blue eyes sparkling with mischief, "Right… see you at the after party."
She quickly grabbed you and kissed you on the cheek, and quickly whispered.
"Only an idiot like Nile wouldn't have guessed you two were fake dating by the way. You were talking to a guy before you came here? Yah know him?"
She pulled back and smiled like nothing happened and you shook your head no and mouthed an "I don't know".
She nodded and silently mouthed, "Be careful."
Imposters liked to come and storm government held parties, and Nanaba was suspicious of the man but he seemed too innocent for that.
You smile at an amused Rico who was watching Nile sweat nervously and Nanaba with her stoic expression. You turned your heel and grabbed Erwin's hand and led you away from them.
"[Name], you scare me so so much," Erwin rubbed his forehead.
You chuckle and pull him into a dancing position, "Yeah but it worked and now we can take these to some government officials, make sure the Treasurer deposits and transfers the money, we decide how we use the money…"
"And organize missions, recons, and pay our soldiers more," Erwin finished with a smile.
You sigh happily as Erwin sways the both of you around, "I'm relieved and I'm happy. And we don't have to worry as much anymore."
Erwin smirked and twirled your arm around, "Meaning you don't have to worry."
You look at him questionably as you pass the murmurs of high society as you dance by. Apparently widows are the true pinnacle of gossip.
"Levi told me about what's going on you know," Erwin leans into your ear and whispers, "Why didn't you tell me or just someone what's happening?"
A wave of guilt sweeps over you and your head hangs low, "I don't want to burden anyone right now. And please don't tell me that I don't wanna carry it. You know this is how I get through shit."
Erwin nods, "Ok but talk to someone… please?"
You nod and your forehead is suddenly met with Erwin's chin. He pulls you into a hug and rubs your shoulders, as if he could hypothetically erase the burdens and sorrows you've been carrying. You want to cry and smash a vase or something you could never tell with your emotions so you stay silent and let him try and comfort you the best way he can.
After what seems like a moment captured in time, Erwin pulls away from you and turns you to the staircase leading downwards where the after party would be.
"People are leaving now and I'm pretty sure it's time to go and you know 'party'", he says seriously and you sputtered out a laugh.
"Pfft yeah let's go party! Woohoo!" You say sarcastically and wave your hands around. Erwin rolls your eyes and pushes you over there.
You get the hint and stroll away from Erwin and flirtily blew him a kiss and walked towards the staircase.
"[Name]! Thank you for your work tonight. I appreciate it," Erwin calls out.
You nod, "See you in a few?"
Erwin smiles reassuringly and you turn away and roll your shoulders to ease off your "work mode".
Your thoughts drift to him as you climb down the stairs and trail your fingers on the railing.
A successful mission, [Name] equates to time to relax.
Really, prove it to me.
Fine, spend 3 days with me because that's how long the mission is and I promise you that you will just destress.
Challenge accepted then.
You remember after those 3 days, Erwin noticed that you became less clumsy and your mind was not just rambling everywhere. He asked what happened and you told Erwin that you were spending time with him.
Him. You remember the night that he took you up into the attic here and looked at the stars and he talked about the old gods and whatever.
You remember how you both found this staircase leading into an old, abandoned basement where you would hang out with Hange, Moblit and the crew. How this place has now become a hang out area for the military.
He held so many memories in this one place, you know you weren't exaggerating when you said everywhere reminded you of him.
But tonight is not the time to think of that. Tonight is to celebrate, to do as he said. To relax, have fun and spend time.
Those were the thoughts that skipped through your mind as you enter the basement room to join your friends to the after party.
You took a few steps back and wave your hands apologetically, "I'm sorry but (you actually weren't), I have to go and talk to some other people. I'll see you around?"
Your pitch was definitely getting higher, the tone you called, "I'm just a meek woman please don't get offended if I say no and please don't hit me."
The man started shaking his hands as well, "No, no, no I'm sorry… I made you uncomfortable. I apologize so much, I'm so sorry."

- This fanfic is a spin off of the series "Between Golden Ornaments and Tarot Cards" -
The origin story of the six sacred spouses of the lamb.
"Lɪʟɪᴛʜ ᴛʜᴇ Fᴇᴀʀʟᴇss"
"𝓗𝓪𝓽𝓱𝓸𝓻 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓟𝓲𝓸𝓾𝓼."
"𝙺𝚎𝚟𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚂𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚐𝚒𝚜𝚝."

"𝒮ℯ𝒶𝓇 𝓉𝒽ℯ ℒℴ𝓋𝒾𝓃ℊ."
And "Narinder the pɹǝɥdǝɥS "
Chapter 1- Ruri/ Lilith the fearless.
( Yes, I made a drawing for each spouse. )
Chapter Synopsis:
After the mushroom incident, Ruri and Lamb find themselves alone in a devastated cult, without help or food, their relationship begins to break down, the cat finds herself in a situation where she needs to act, for the sake of her spouse who is exhausted, with their confidence shaken.

She would not let this happen, she could not stand by and watch her savior waste away, she would face the unstoppable, even if she was called a heretic.
~ Is this what you wanted @rurilamb @mayybeliyah ?
Finally, I organized the series "Between golden ornaments and Tarots Cards" on ao3! :D
Between Golden Ornaments and Tarots Cards:
It's a series I've been working on for a year, which started with a crazy idea of making a cosplay video of the lamb to the sound of the song "Where You Are" from the movie Moana, which was a trend at the time.
In the end, this series became gigantic, currently having 8 stories, all of which are interconnected to each other.
This series is also a gift to @epicaandk0 who created the first cult of the lamb fanfic I read.
"Who Tends to the Shepherd Whom Herds the Flock?"
This wonderful fanfic with a captivating story caught my heart in such a way that it gave me the strength to write my own.
There were also other people I was inspired by, but I'll put their names at the end of each fic in a chapter name, "thanks" and whoever allows me to put them in gifs too
Here is the order for anyone who wants to read it, the colorful stories are the ones that are being updated( or already complete) the ones that are blank, have a spoiler chapter, and that's it, until I finish updating the current ones :3
1. "Hearts are made to be..."
( Forneus Pov, takes place in the past)
2." Five points of a pentagram."
( Narinder Pov, takes place in the past, linked to "Hearts")
3. "Between Golden Ornaments and Tarot Cards" (Book that gave the series its name)
(Lamb/ Lambert Pov, takes place in the present, but also in the past)
4. "Ambrosia: Fuel for burning flames"
( Narilamb romance 🔞 + Shittens, happens in the present.)
5." Pan's Flute- Leshycat "
( Leshy Pov, Leshycat romance, takes place in the present, linked to "Ambrosia")
6. "Spores Soirée"
( Sozura romance, takes place in Past/ Future, linked to "Ambrosia", a gift for @panoffrying )
7. Oceans of time- Hertra
( Heket Pov, Hertra romance, takes place in the past/present/future, a gift for my sister @mimi-s-boudoir )
8. "I love you Lambert..."
(LambGoat, envious Goat Pov, Non-Canon to the series, linked and happens during and after "Ambrosia")
9. My jewels
( Kallamar POV. Kallamar's polygamous romance and his witnesses. Linked to the fanfics "Hearts are made to be..." and "Five points of a pentagram", it set in the past.)
And that's what we have so far, I'm thinking about creating a 9th story to do some more future scenes, but I'm still organizing the drafts of all the stories that are in white on the list.
what's ur plans for the fornari fanfic? it was really really cute and super well done!! i couldn't believe my eyes when i found that fic, it was like a dream come true
anything behind your thought process or any fun facts about the next chapters? :3
Oh my! Oh my!!! :3 I'm so happy to see that someone liked my Forneus x Narinder fanfic
( And the ship has a name?! I didn't know?! Fornari! Its sooo cuuute!!!)
Hellou hellou Sr. Anon!
Oh my gosh how can I answer without giving you too many spoilers?
I'm really happy that someone really liked this fanfic so much, it's my favorite!~
Sooo~ One fact I can share is that Hearts the first story in a whole colt series of mine that I have been planning for over a year, called " between gold ornaments and tarot cards". Which today already has eight fanfics( Including my most recent one "Pan flute" in the drafts, one of which is unofficial ( It's a one shot called "I love you Lambert" ) , and she will be the "mother" Of The series, who will talk about four big events that will trigger all the the problems and events of the other fanfics :3
Well, a fun fact (I don't know if it would be funny) Narinder is a cinnamon roll, but he can't show this until Forneus awakens this side of him, the two of them together are more than a future couple (it's not a spoiler since it's in the fanfic tags) but two great friends. 🐈⬛🫀🐈⬛
Well, the fun fact would be that Forneus literally convinces the god of death, to being a gentle leader, being the "ruthless bishop" and an "apathetic god" is not what the people of the Island need and thanks to Forneus, he can see this, just because she sucks at her job ( her work as a priestess i mean) :D
( I think I ended up giving a big spoiler 👀 but it will be addressed in the following chapters, so I think it's okay...?)
Well, one thing I love about the process of making this fanfic is the development of the fearful and insecure Forneus into the one that will be introduced in the next chapters :3
She is maturing, and growing, and even though she is terrible at advising Narinder following the dogmas of the true faith, she has brought something that the bishop had never experiment...
And my plans? Well, many, but what I can say is that I'm preparing for a lot of hurt/comfort, cats being cats, cute moments (and 🔞 sometimes... Aym and Ball had to come from somewhere), Angst, family breaking, hearts hurting, hearts healing, Forneus slaing 👀💅🏽, Death of characters....( I even ended up making a huge spoiler in my Coltltober art.)
This Forneus is strong, she is a goddess without a crown, but she hasn't developed it yet or realized it.
