Summary
To them, he is a hero and a savior, the proof of it hanging from the glimmering medals at his breast. He is also a fantastical force of nature: the commander with the power of the Titans, stolen straight from the enemy's maw.
Erwin has always supposed himself as the hand on the board, arranging his pieces on a checkered field. Now, he has found himself among the knights and the rooks, a weapon in his own right.
A long form AU where Erwin survives to do battle with Marley, his right-hand man steady at his side.

Summary
“Maybe the fool has it right, then,” Levi says, voice thick and low. “Maybe the smart man just thinks too damn much.” His pupils are wide enough to fall into. He wets his lips, and Erwin watches him. “He either sacrifices the thing he wants, or he sacrifices himself. Maybe the only difference between them is what they’re willing to lose.”
In the end, the surrender is easy. All that’s left is to fall from the ledge.

Summary
“All right… It looks like you have something that I lack. Until I know what that ‘something’ is, I’ll go with you.”
"Erwin Smith."
Erwin Smith. The name, and the man himself, echo in Levi’s head, linger on his tongue, and leave imprints behind his eyelids. He can’t stop it. Time passes and Levi realizes that maybe he doesn’t want it to stop—there’s more to the stone-cold leader than meets the eye. While their mutual bond strengthens, others speculate, but Levi never cares to explain their relationship; no one understands. No one will ever understand the ways in which their relationship exceed the boundaries of a commander and his captain.
~ Or ~
A canon compliant retelling of Levi and Erwin’s story from ACWNR to the night before retaking Wall Maria.
