Alright, letās start this definitely not short journey š
A Valuable Asset
Summary: When the kidnappers came for Mikasa and her mother, her father disrupted their plan, stopping them at the cost of his own life. When the Titans breached the Wall Maria, two women managed to escape and rebuild their lives in another place. But a gruesome fate followed the raven girl, and she still ended up in the Underground a few years later, only this time it was her Ackerman abilities that were valuable to the abductors. As a result, she was forced to learn how to fight with the best trainer the Underground had.

(sorry, no titles for the chapters, at least yet, because I will lose my mind if I try to come up with them while writing this fic)
Hope youāll enjoy it ā¤ļø Feel free to leave comments!
@bryhaven thank you so much for supporting me, even when I havenāt posted anything yet šš Hope youāll like this story!
It seems like there's more positivity on Tumblr than other platforms (*cough*Twitter*cough*). Like, you can say "I love you, bestie." without anyone calling you corny or childish.
Y'know what? Reblog this to let your besties know you love them.
Ohhhh what a week. Thatās me currently trying to get out of the Twitter hell
and finally crawling back to the safe and peaceful place that Tumblr is for me.
Iām generally trying to avoid Twitter at all costs (coz itās too toxic for me), and especially any drama, but somehow I was hanging out there and the huge scandal in another fandom evolved right before my eyes, wow, what an experience. I didnāt want to get involved at all, but the whole situation seemed so unfair to me that I just couldnāt stay silent and wanted to do anything.
Maybe I wouldāve talked about this with someone here, but I went through some tags and it seems like people from here didnāt really get the scale of it all. And I definitely canāt blame them because no sane person wouldāve been able to keep up with all the shit that appeared on Twitter during this past week. I made a mistake by diving into all of that and Iām suffering the consequences now *sigh*
This post is so random and vague and I wonāt get into any detail because itās too much. I know Iām supporting the unpopular opinion in the fandom, but I made up my mind and today I was finally able to hear the other side of the conflict, and now I am even more confident in my decision. If the court results prove Iām wrong, Iāll gladly accept it. But at least I can say for sure Iām right about all this scandal being far beyond personal, and while many donāt understand why people expect the company to get involvedā¦ well, the company wouldnāt have lost over 70k followers in 12 hours if it was just a personal issue.
This post is so random and vague, but I guess I can still make use of it and say this:
If you decide to support one side in a controversial issue after only hearing their side ā itās your decision. Itās logical to wait for both sides to speak up, itās even more logical to wait for the legal proceedings to be over, but I understand it feels unbearable at times to wander somewhere in the middle. Of course, no one can stop you from supporting the side that seems more truthful to you, but PLEASE donāt harass the other side, donāt throw death threats and make up even more accusations out of the blue, especially when NOTHING is confirmed.
Tweets with vague stories, cropped screenshots that can be pulled completely out of context are not legit evidence. Someoneās cute and nice appearance is not evidence as well.
While it may seem like a show to you, those social media dramas involve REAL PEOPLE and yeah, you can feel shitty for supporting the wrong person in the aftermath. But how will you feel about throwing death wishes at someone who turns out to be innocent in the end? Did they not suffer enough? How will you feel if they follow your wish?
But yeah, I feel like I did everything possible and now I finally feel better and am able to focus on writing. Iām awfully late with the next update, but January has been so full of unpleasant twists and turns and itās not even over yet š
I've been seeing posts on this site recently about Isayama maybe doing a spinoff about Levi, and now I can't help thinking about Levi traveling Paths to save Mikasa from messing up the timelines or maybe that little boy with the dog in the last chapter is actually his descendant and that's why we don't ever see his eye color because Levi has such distinctive eyes.
YES OKAY SO I don't even remember if I've already mentioned this, but I've always thought it was strange that the whole ~Mikasa's memories can't be tampered with because she's an Ackerman~ thing was established... AND YET NO ONE TALKS ABOUT HOW ANY OF IT AFFECTS/DOESNT AFFECT LEVI. THE OTHER ACKERMAN.
A slight fun idea I've had that def isn't going to happen lol (and is also a fanfic idea I've always wished to have the balls to attempt) is exactly this, anon!! That just like Mikasa, Levi also has these subconscious and vague memories from past timelines, etc -- and this is why he's so centered on the "make choices you'll least regret" philosophy. Putting my Rivamika-romance sunglasses on, what if Levi can feel the regret of his choices in past timelines regarding Mikasa... ;-; And at the moment Mikasa is having a headache remembering Cabin timeline w Eren WHO LOOKS LIKE LEVI (hello, undercut and tea on the cabin table), Levi is also remembering the one and single timeline in which he and Mikasa actually fell in love; that every other timeline has been utter failure due to his choices.
And then he's at this moment in the final battle, where Mikasa is about to die, but he still swoops in to save her because he knows how this timeline is meant to end. omg
The fun thing is that (if AOE timelines is true) all it takes for Mikasa to stop intentionally starting new timelines is for her to fall out of love w Eren, to stop wishing to bring him back, etc... maybe by falling in love w someone else.
Maybe she doesn't have to die!! MAYBE SHE JUST NEEDS TO FALL IN LOVE W LEVI AND ALL IS SOLVED, GODDAMMIT
jeez I'm such a rivamika coper LOL
I like your idea on the little boy at the end! I wish!!! I think a lot of us RM shippers have always seen that freakin' boy as THE perfect Rivamika grandchild or something cuz omg. The lil neck scarf? The stark black hair? LITERALLY SO RIVAMIKA
Anyway. I'm curious to hear other people's creative ideas hehehe
I'm also curious about the Levi spinoff comments from Isayama. He totally could and ALL of us would eat that up. But it's interesting because we technically already have No Regrets which gives a lot of backstory to Levi already, so now I'm curious what more backstory does Isayama have in mind for Levi? Child Levi after Kenny leaves? How Levi grows up to be the Underground's top thug?
OR
Does he have an ENTIRELY different backstory for Levi? Was No Regrets (not written by Isayama) considered non-canon?
The process of writing the next chapter for āA Valuable Assetā is going slower than I wouldāve wanted to, but I have all the needed scenes outlined and partially written. Hope this weekend will be very productive š
So, I guess Iāll just leave a link to my latest chapter, as I havenāt yet posted it here. I posted it on Ao3 on Christmas and thought nobody would need it during the holiday season, but @bryhaven has already scolded me for my decision to not notify anyone (Iām so sorry, dear, I hope youāll forgive me one day ššš).
I donāt really know what to say about this chapter except that thereās a lot of fluffy and spicy Rivamika that we all love:)

heya RM lovelies so i very much wanted to get this out as a smutty xmas gift but that clearly didn't happen but better late than never no? Actually REALLY late, originally it was supposed to be for kinktober/smutober per @levi4mikasa's suggestion waaaaay back when (dont think i forgot š)
Its funny i always told myself id never write rivamika because theres no way in hell i could do justice to their characters but then i was like eff it- when it comes to pure smut, we ball!!!
So this is just a preview but the set up that i havent written yet is Levi and Mikasa had a heated argument at a military fundraising ball right before Marley Arc, he says something intentionally to really piss her off (naturally, its his kink) and shes ends up propositioning him; hellbent on revenge. Hilarity (and smut) ensues š
*************************
Her deceptively delicate hands were on his belt buckle, her right thumb sensually tracing the notched prong back and forth.
āAre you sure you want this, Captain?āĀ Mikasa asked lowly, peering up at him underneath her long, dark lashes.Ā Ā Ā
āDonāt call me that.āĀ His reply was a bit more gruff than he had intended, having gotten far too comfortable with barking orders at soldiers and civilians alike. He cleared his throat.
āNot here.Ā Not when weāreā¦like this.āĀ He finished, softening his tone.
Mikasa couldnāt help but scowl up at him.Ā āThen what the hell am I supposed to call you, sir?Ā
The irritation across her face instantly gave way to shock, her eyebrows scraping her hairline at his startling reaction. Ā For that cool, unyielding facade that was his handsome face fractured for a split second, revealing a flicker of something she would never thought possible for the stalwart captain: uncertainty, doubt.Ā Maybe even fear?Ā Ā
She struggled to place it as she composed herself; quite a feat with the way his eyes now seem to be boring into her. As with his face, she caught a fleeting glimpse beyond that hard gaze; a flash of explosive heat that suddenly ignited, and while he had shut it away as quickly as it came, she could still feel the residue heat from it.Ā Although it was somewhat unsettling coming from someone as stoic as Levi, sheād be lying to herself to say it was wholly unwelcomed.
After an uneasy pause, he finally found his voice.
āCall me by my nameā¦Mikasa.ā
Her eyebrows betray her once again.Ā Ā The casual yet profound intimacy of her name passing through his typically stiff but now softened lips, along with the way his eyes searched hers almost desperately did something to her; but she wasnāt quite sure what.Ā
Then she felt it, a flutter in her stomach, a warming yet pleasing sensation that slowly bloomed across her body. As she felt the soft heat crawl up towards her cheeks she tore her eyes away from his, focusing her attention back on the task at hand.Ā
āFine.ā She replied as bluntly as she could. āAre you sure you want thisā¦Levi.ā
Again, Levi hesitated before he spoke, or rather, whispered.Ā Ā
ā....Yes. I want this.āĀ Oh so very much.
It was Mikasa upon her knees, but the way he breathed out the simple, yet, loaded response had all the hallmarks of a prayer.Ā It was a sight to behold Levi so utterly vulnerable like this, but her Ackerman instincts wouldnāt allow her to ignore the opening; the much desired opportunity she had been hoping for.Ā Ā Ā
ā...Iām glad to hear you say that,ā she murmured as she began to unbuckle his belt and unfasten his trousers.Ā
Levi watched with such intense focus that the scene before him seemed to unfold in slow motion; memorizing every movement as she methodically undressed him, the grace and deftness of her fingers. Ā Deep down he wanted to relish this moment as much as possible, spurred on by the very rare occasion of not having to look up to take in the magnificence of her.Ā Ā
As with his countenance, Mikasa peeled away the barrier before her, exposing his stark-white undergarments to full view.Ā Her elegant hands came to rest on his hips, pulling them slightly forward towards her as her grip upon them tightened.Ā Levi stilled himself with bated breath.Ā Ā
This was it.Ā There was no going back. Ā And if he was being entirely honest, he was damn certain he didnāt want to.Ā In his reverie he was quite understandably distracted, his normally sharp instincts dulled.Ā Ā
And with that, ladies and gentlemen, marked the downfall of Levi Ackerman.Ā
He nearly missed the small smirk tug at her parted lips but it was too late; Levi could only hopelessly watch as she suddenly reared her head back and smashed her forehead with the unmistakable strength of a woman worth a hundred soldiers against his woefully exposed groin.Ā
Levi saw stars, galaxies, f*cking aliens as he doubled over in sheer agony, a white scorching pain searing across his veins throughout his body; blinding him briefly. Once again his Ackerman instincts were stifled, unable to counter the continued onslaught as his vision returned to him only to see her slender yet deadly fist rocketing directly towards his face.Ā
There was no prospect of defensive maneuvering as she executed a devastating haymaker uppercut, her fist making contact square in the nose, lifting his entire body off his feet into the air and sending him sailing (and flailing) across his office.Ā Ā
In a different circumstance he would have admired the elegance of her form- from the telegraphed windup as she shifted her weight and rotated her torso back, the fluidity of the follow through as her right arm glided across the air in a perfect arc, and the pinpoint accuracy of her fist as it locked on the bullseye that unfortunately happened to be his nose.Ā But alas, this was decidedly not that circumstance- the result of which had him crashing down heavily on his ass, one hand painfully clutching his abdomen with the other cradling his bleeding and possibly broken nose.Ā
His senses finally returned to him upon impact, the shock of it all finally giving way to fury.Ā Ā
āWHAT THE F*CK, BRAT??? YOU BROKE MY F*CKING NOS-ā
Levi was cut short when a pair of heavy boots landed dangerously close on either side of his head.Ā He looked up to find Mikasa leering down at him with a particularly devious smirk.Ā Ā
āOh, I'm going to break much more than your f*cking nose- Levi.ā
She reached under her military skirt and tore off her panties in one fluid yank, tossing them aside before pouncing down to her knees to straddle his face. She fisted his hair roughly, yanking it flush to the ground as he gasped in both pain (and embarrassingly, delight), the other tearing his hand off nose and pinning it above his head.
āNow let's put that filthy mouth of yours to good use for once.ā
Both Leviās eyes and mouth widened, but before he could get out any retort Mikasa recklessly smashed her groin directly onto his face, joining his lips with her own (of a sort); grunting her satisfaction as she finally put him in his place- an inglorious place, yet a place, quite frankly, where he seemed right at home.
yah not me indulging myself to the max of my fav kinks (femdom, explicit consent and the loaded intimacy of using personal names) teehee
Anyway thats all i managed to get so far, honestly dont know when i'll finish (if ever, life getting the best of me at the moment) but the jist is āsomething something Mikasa beats the sh*it outta Levi, she rides his freaking face off and he basically thanks her and asks for secondsā š
@warbarbie @magicalanchordestiny @chaosisbeauty23 @levi4mikasa much love and appreciation for the encouragement!! this is for you <3<3
