not one, but TWO sneak peeks

(from different scenes)

[reinerispretty]

hello how do you feel abt The Reiner Sketch and how are you and how is yfbfbf going !

reiner sketch?? what Reiner sketch??? wha? huh???

(i am good and yfbfbf is good hehe. how are You??)

[reinerispretty]

For yfbfbf, I'm really curious on what reiners upbringing was like.. I mean, he came back early for Christmas even though he really loves his family so I'm thinking maybe Karina is the reason? Maybe she expects him to make a name of himself and that's why he works so hard and maybe doesn't feel like he's preforming as well as she wants him to which is why he avoids conversing with her? Or maybe something happened in libero and he just doesn't like being there?? Idk but something is up and I'm hoping he opens up and they can bond over their mommy issues ❤️ #romantic

ur absolutely right, something IS up!!! all i will say is that reiner and reader had very different upbringings 😏😏😏

You wanted to feed us, Consider me well and truly STUFFED!

I have been so crazy about this fic since 2023 and I have imagined 1001 ways New Years could have gone and yet you always find a way to surprise me! I have praised it before but the way you flesh out the wider relationships and characters is so wonderful and enjoyable, it’s so fun and I feel so absorbed in the world of this fic. I have had thoughts about this chapter knocking around in my head since the last upload and it’s just so magical to finally get to read it 🥹 and to know there’s more on the way!!!!

I literally had to read everything from when Reiner sat down with my hand covering the screen so I couldn’t risk my eyes flitting down to see a single sentence or word before I actually reached it, my breath was HELD. Reiner is so soft and I’m so glad we got to see a little more of the Porco aftermath and his contrast to his interactions with Reader. We have so much more of him being down bad to come 🥳

So excited for:

- Mina’s upcoming outburst / reveal that Jean hasn’t been truthful with her and how this will fall back on Jean, Reader, and a frustrated (and after that ending, potentially even MORE protective) Reiner.

- Reader realising she’s walked straight back into the party in Reiner’s jacket 👀 not at allll likely to arouse suspicion amongst partygoers….

- Whether or not Mikasa found herself a new years kiss 😌

- ((Maybe a background Armin and Annie interaction…. All the love for bertholdt but just curious as to how that crush plays out ahaha))

- Reader & Reiner’s next moments post-party alone together & how they take their next steps. Close to tears just thinking about them learning to accept the love they DESERVE and doing it together.

- Learning more about Reiner’s backstory and maybe some of his perspective from previous chapters!!!! The way he made his move with the tradition callback has me itching to read the last 4-5 chapters again to see just where his head has been at for the last in-fic week since the mistletoe incident !!! I can only imagine he took that as his moment to decide he had to do something - and maybe had a chance! - and has been trying to test the waters with reader ever since to make sure he wouldn’t be ruining anything. Man has probably been giddy as fuck. Also curious if Porco sped up the process. I can’t WAIT to reread with this lens ahaha

There’s never enough words to express my feelings towards this story. It’s the most insane I’ve been about anything for a long time and I really feel like I’ve grown alongside it over the last couple years. Thank you for it and long may your health & wellness & adoration for Reiner Braun continue xxx

EEEEEEEEEK i'm so happy you read it!!! i always look forward to seeing your thoughts and comments, makes me so happy to see ur username hehe!!! and i'm so so happy you liked it and it lived up to your expectations :') i was so nervie posting lmfao

i totally get what you mean about growing alongside the story! i've felt the exact same way!! that's why i'm intentionally vague about how old the characters are, i started it when i was almost 23 and now i'm 26...LOL but i wanted it to just encapsulate that mid 20s feeling that we are all somehow magically connected by <3

but yes LOTS more to come that i'm looking forward to sharing with you guys :) i can't wait for you to see where things go and i always love hearing what YOU are excited for! ( you just KNOW eren is gonna have some shit to say ab the whole jacket thing) ((im rolling my eyes at him thinking about it LOL))

tysm for your patience and dedication and i will ALWAYS be here to share the reiner braun agenda *insert salute emoji*

you have no freaking idea how excited i (and we as a collective i assume!!) am for the updates, that was one hell of a cliffhanger for yfbfbf!! and i'm so stoked for aswltd because it's still just a sapling! giving you all my positive vibes and support!

hehehe thank you thank you 🥰🥰 i like to keep everyone on their toes every once in a while!! way back when, the pumpkin patch chapter (where it ends with jean and Mina walking up) was a cliffhanger too for a bit hehehe

but i hope to have the next chapter out soon! i've got bits and pieces for it, just have to sew it all together hehe! and hopefully aswltd will have some new chaps coming soon as well!!

[reinerispretty]

i'm shaking in my boots every day hoping for an update.. little bit invested in your work mayhaps!

an update may happen sooner than you think 👀 no promises, but keep an eye out ;)

[reinerispretty]

I LOVE LOVEEE YOUR FICS SM mostly the yfbfbf and so we live to die, im not trying to be rude or anything but i hope we can get an update about those two hehehe but of course take your time!! Also how did you exactly manage to portray the reader? I relate to her and love it smm!

omg THANK YOU!!!! thank you so so much for reading and loving my fics :')

and so we live to die ....haven't heard that name in years 🚬

update for yfbfbf will def be coming soon!!!! and it's so funny you mention and so we live to die bc ever since the new AOT game got announced, i've been thinking about it more and more!!! (the other aot games actually inspired that fic a lot!!!) so i could def see myself picking that one up again soon. i know in the description i said i'd be rewriting it but honestly i think i just got really in my head about it at one point and could totally pick up from where we left off hehe, cuz there's SO MUCH with that one that's been bouncing in my head since before yfbfbf was even a baby thought in my mind!

and omg, tysm for saying that about reader!!!! im so glad you can relate to her :) i def take inspiration for her from my own life or how i'd respond to things, but ultimately i just try to make her a girl in her 20s who is trying her best!!!! and occasionally she fucks that up, because who doesn't sometimes!!!

i just wanted her to be fun and relatable to everyone most times, but i didn't want her to be too cookie-cutter, either :) so i am SO happy you like her so much as a character!!!
