@ererievents ereri week 2020 day 5: fate

The second version was me joking around after realizing that it looked like an album cover. Also, really late. Exams and Genshin Impact kidnapped me.

Paths We Take

HI everyone! This is my first submission for EreriWeek ‘Paths’. I am going to post it on AO3 as well.

Hope you enjoy it!

The silence around him is deafening, like a void sucking in all sounds, so powerful it also seems to muffle his own thoughts as he sits in his office. His eyes focus on the fire snapping in the hearth where the flames lick and jerk with quick motions. Despite the closed window a wintery cold breeze appeared to sneak in from crevices and gaps in the frame.

Levi doesn't care that much right now. Sitting here with a glass of Erwin's port he has stolen a couple of weeks back, the weather is certainly not the first thing on his list.

He's never liked over-thinking things, he's never found any benefit in doing so though he's always been careful before making a decision – life in the Underground would do that to a person. Over-thinking though has always been something he would see like a waste of time, going over and over the same problems without ever finding a solution.

Then why is he here? Drowning his sorrows in too fine a port to be used for this pathetic endeavour? He had thought that in his thirties he wouldn't have to endure this sense of loss and heart-break he's currently feeling. Pathetic, really, losing himself for 'matters of the heart' as Petra had liked to call them years ago. Levi simply calls it pining over an eighteen year-old bird-brain who's chosen the wrong path because of some complex of grandeur.

No. No, that isn't it.

Levi would like to say that was the case but unfortunately he's come to know the brat too well to actually believe that. Not like those wipe-asses from Mitras or the Military Police.

Eren Jaeger has always been strong-willed and stubborn but his resilience comes from his unmovable moral compass and aspiration to freedom. Monster, they've called him more then once, disregarding his unwillingness to be used as a human experiment in his father's quest for freedom. Levi remembers the many midnight talks they've had in front of the fire in his office, when the brat would go on and on about a better world, a better life. If he has to be honest, the Captain has always admired the optimism the brat is capable of despite the misery, heart-break and tragedies he's had to endure in life, on top of finding out the truth about his father and how he's been used by him. In a remote part of his mind, Eren Jaeger reminds Levi of himself. Both monsters. Both strong believers of freedom and justice. The years have shown Levi a more cynical view of the world and of people but Eren seems to still have that pink-veiled naivete of childhood when it comes to ideals and utopias.

Levi knows that's why he rebelled, why he left behind everything he's ever known to keep fighting, only this time in his own terms. The only thing the raven-haired wouldn't have expected is Eren joining arms with his half-brother, especially after everything Zeke has done and deaths he's caused.

What would you say if you could see me now, Eyebrows?

The death of his old friend sits still sore in his chest and knowing that the brat – his brat – is now working with the man responsible for it almost breaks him apart. Almost. Though it feels like he's grieving the loss of Eren now on top of everyone else's, he knows the seventeen year old better than this. He knows him (for a second he wonders if that's true or he's simply trying to convince himself, creating excuses for someone he once held very dear and still might).

He's reminded of something that Kenny once said, an eternity ago, when his life teachings were beating Levi down to the ground every other day. “Life is full of choices, kid. Crossroads. And sometimes whichever path we take, whatever road we end up walking, is a life sentence. So choose well”. Probably one of the only smart, useful things Kenny has ever taught him.

Crossroads. Did Eren have to stand in front of that crossroad, doubtful of himself and who or what he was, alone? From Armin's and Mikasa's reaction they couldn't have known Eren was doubting his place in the world, in the war. Eren took the road he most thought right and walked it. He's still walking it. There's no turning back now and probably that's the road the brat will die on. A life sentence.

The scary thing is that, Levi doesn't think he might be wrong.

A choice with no regrets. Levi looks down into the deep-coloured liquid and watches hypnotized the light from the fire playing with it. He sees Isabel and Furlan. Erwin. Petra. Oluo, Eld and Gunther. And so many others. And he wonders. He doesn't want to see the brat's face in that glass of port, not tonight or ever, but he's afraid that if he doesn't make a choice now those bright eyes will hunt him for the rest of his most probably short life. He's always followed his brain and once a decision was made he's gone through with it every single time. It's not going to be different now.

A choice with no regrets.

When he gulps down the rest of the port and stands up Levi doesn't do it because of his quite concerning feelings for the brat. He doesn't do it to run away from his problems, neither to get into trouble. He does it because right now and probably until his life sentence is concluded this is the right choice to make.

With controlled gesture he places the empty glass down and picks up his civilian jacket and cloak before going for the door. He closes it without looking back. Without looking at his uniform neatly folded on the desk, the wings of freedom bright even in the darkness of the evening; without looking at the familiar neck-tie resting on top of it.

And he certainly doesn't look at the letter burning in the fire, the embers once an official document where the words EXECUTION ORDERS FOR EREN JAEGER used to sit boldly and haunting on the whiteness of the paper.

Okay, so I read this Ereri fic one time

And I fell absolutely in love with it. Of course, I can't remember the title or if it was just an Ereri week fic. Modern day au and Eren starts working at a movie theater with Levi and they become friends and then some trouble at Eren's home leads to him moving in with Levi. They also sit on Levi's car and watch the stars at night. Has anyone ever heard of or read something like this?

Summary: There's nothing quite like finding out your old professor got exorcised and this new demon that no one knows anything about is gonna be teaching the class now and uhhhh you didn't do your homework.

(Or a fic where Eren and the 104th attend a school that's taught by demons and everyone is hella confused about Professor Ackerman)

Here or gone, we’ll meet again in our dreams and memories, for our souls are eternal and transcend lifetimes.

I had an entire set of individual pieces planned but realized I wouldn’t get them done in time, and this was the most motivation that I could muster at the time.  Combined all the prompts, and then some.  This is the first time I’ve actually completed an Ereri Week theme..even if it is “cheating” a bit. :)

(also got a hint of canine au in there but yeahh)

Ereri Spring Week 2016: Day 8

Take me to Church 

Chapter 8: Smile

This is the last chapter. It takes place directly after the first chapter: Eren had his confession and left the reconciliation room. Keep this in mind and enjoy reading!

Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, ao3

 As quickly as possible Levi gets up and bursts out of the reconciliation room. He has to find Eren. The boy he cares for so much. The one he denies himself. The one he wants like nothing else in this world.

“Eren, where are you?” Levi shouts through the church, but he can’t find the boy.

Where can he be? Levi looks for him in every corner of the church and even in his private rooms. No Eren in sight. Then he makes his way out and into the garden.

He finds Eren in front of the cages of the rabbits. He is crying. Levi never saw Eren cry. It is something that should be permitted. Eren should only laugh and be happy. He should not cry. And he should certainly not cry because of Levi.

“Eren.” Levi finally whispers.  

The boy turns around. Tears are running down his cheeks.

“I’m sorry. Let’s just pretend this didn’t happen. OK?” He sobs and cracks a smile.

“I can’t forget. And I do not want to forget.”

Slowly Levi approaches Eren and embraces him. He holds him tight against his chest. Gently he strokes his back and waits for Eren to stop crying. Eren is clinging onto him like he is his lifeboat. Levi can feel the wetness of Eren’s tears soaking through his robe, but he doesn’t mind.

When Eren has a hold of himself again, Levi looks him in the eyes.

“I like you, too.” Levi whispers.

It’s like the sun breaking through the clouds on a rainy day. Eren’s face lights up and all the tears are forgotten. The angelic smile is back on his face.

“I don’t know how and I don’t know why, but I feel drawn to you. So much, you can’t even imagine. All this time I thought you were disgusted by me, but you always searched my nearness.” Levi pauses, overwhelmed by his emotions. “I don’t know how we can go on from here.”

“We find a way, Levi, I promise. I don’t want any other. You’re the one for me.”

“And you’re the one for me.” Levi smiles.

He never smiled a lot. Now he feels the smile spread over his face. It feels strange, because he uses muscles he usually doesn’t need. He never was this happy. Eren wants to be his and feels the same as him.

Sure, there are problems. Levi is still a priest and Eren is still much younger than him. But love doesn’t follow rules and is unpredictable. Levi can’t deny his feelings any longer. Like Eren said, they will find a way. He feels like everything will be alright.

“To love another person is to see the face of God.” Levi says eventually.

“That’s nice.” Eren says softly.

“Yeah, I read it somewhere. It fits us perfectly.”

 End.

This is the end of my fanfic and the end of the ereri spring week 2016. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I had a lot of fun writing this story. Thank you for reading and for liking the story.

"To love another person is to see the face of God" is a quote from the musical Les Miserables. I love the musical and I think this line fits very well. Certainly, you ask yourself how the story of Eren and Levi proceeds. I let that to your imagination. I think a good option is that Levi converts to protestantism. At least where I come from (Germany) it is possible for pastors to live in a gay partnership. Problem solved *haha*
