Is Ittybittyteapot taking some time away from writing? Do you know how she's doing? I hope AO3 didn't do something to her...
Hello there.
How sweet of you to ask. No worries, everything is all right with IttyBittyTeapot and her AO3 account. Life's been keeping her from writing, but she definitely will be back as soon as she can.

There’s something wonderfully soothing to putting real pigments onto paper and giving them time to dry. I almost forgot how therapeutic it can be, until I dug out my old watercolour set that has been resting for years.
Stuck in my head for not quite as long but certainly many months, has been this image from one of my favourite fics, The Ghosts in Us. And I’m so happy with how it turned out, with the aurora, the stars, the Pheonix and comet. And Tunglið, of course. Especially since I got it finished just in time for IttyBittyTeapot’s birthday earlier this month.
Thank you, @ittybittyteapot, for such a gorgeous inspiration and for this beautiful story. <3 And happy birthday, once again. Big fat hugs to you, my friend!

Eren turned his head to look at Levi. “I don’t have a splotch in my eye,” he said.
“You do,” said Levi. “It’s there when your eyes look bluer.”
“What does it look like?” Eren was holding his breath, biting his lip through a curious smile.
Levi looked at their entwined hands in his lap. It was going to sound tender-hearted and romantic. It would fuel Eren’s absurdly sappy assertion Levi had a constellation on his shoulder.
He took a breath before quietly mumbling, “It looks like a comet.”
–The Ghosts in Us, chapter 31
When your friend writes you a fic you love to pieces, and even allows you to be part of the creating process and roll around in her gorgeous words together, there’s no way I wouldn’t want to reciprocate.
@ittybittyteapot, it’s been a year since you wrote the first line of Winter Comes Quiet, and I still can’t believe you wrote me such a gorgeous story. I’ve read it so often now, and I can’t get enough of it, of how it makes me swoon and smile from deep within. I can’t write you a full story in return (not for this Christmas, at least ;) ), but I could ask the amazing @ra-ro81 to draw something for your story. I so adore what she made of the scene I sent her—their looks, Eren’s hair, Levi’s smile, and Von snuggling up to Eren’s hand—and I hope it gives you a warm smile back.
Thank you again for such a wonderful, wonderful story. And thanks so much again to @ra-ro81 for this brilliant cover art. <3

Levi’s head has never made much sense to him when his heart is involved. Especially when Eren is once again nurturing the shriveled black thing in his chest that passes for one. Making it flip and jump and swell and clench until he feels as though it will burst.
Levi wants to do something very dangerous. He wants to keep Eren. He wants to invite him to stay. To feed him. To scrub him in a good, warm bath then shave off that horrid beard and trim his split ends. He wants to climb into bed and offer Eren his chest and open arms like he used to then lie with his nose pressed to his neck and Eren’s hair tickling his cheek. Levi wants to feel Eren’s heart beating under his palm as they drift off to sleep. He wants to warm his cold feet on Eren’s shins, stroking the silky soft hair which covers them with his toes.
—Winter Comes Quiet, Chapter 2
I have been screeching over this for weeks, ever since @ittybittyteapot sent this my way. I still can’t fully believe you drew these gorgeous chibi for my fic, my friend, and then even for a scene I enjoyed writing so very much. Thank you so much, and for allowing me to share it.
“…and then we’ll just have to let them dry in fresh air,” Eren concludes, his long, gentle fingers still toying with the pliant goat hair. “It smells really nice too. Look.”
He holds out the duster for Levi to sniff, the silky hairs stopping short of tickling Levi’s nose.
“Hm,” is all Levi says, before an eloquent “goat-y” escapes him after all.
Not seeming to notice the roughness in Levi’s voice, Eren laughs and retrieves the broom to bury his own nose deep in the cream-coloured hairs. His eyes close with an absorbed smile that makes him glow. Warmth explodes in Levi’s chest.
It’s too much.

A day late for the first day of the @ererievents ‘s canonverse week, but better late than never.
Day 1: Growing close | Pining
Reader’s note: There's a beauty in listening to stories instead of having to read them yourself. It's easy on the eyes after a long day in front of the computer screen. You can listen to them on your way to work and back home again, during household chores, or when you're about to go to sleep, with your eyes tired from the day. There's also something to the spoken word, as opposed to its visible version, that the visible image of their letters cannot provide. And there is a pleasure in indulging in podfics that carries the memory of being read to as a child: Clutching your cuddly toy, wrapped into thick soft blankets while you listen, begging for "only one more chapter, please…"
@ittybittyteapot , I'm so proud you allowed me to record this story. I know it means a great deal to you, and it's also one of those that made me believe in canonverse stories in this fandom. It's also one of those stories that made me reach out to another author and, after months of being awkward, rewarded me with a friend. I hope recording and sharing this tale gives some joy back to you.
Author’s summary: After the war, Eren has moved outside the walls. Levi receives a letter from him every Thursday, and though he longs to be with him, he still can't bring himself to pick up where they left off on that painful night before he left.

Eren rolls around in his bed, blinking into the darkness.
The ceiling stares back with a murky grey. Snow pelters against the window. The room is silent. The air cold.
Another restless night.
Pairing: Levi/Eren
Summary: Rather than pining for something they can’t have, Eren and Levi find peace in what they can.
