    Summary

    For sixteen years, Mikasa has watched the boy next door. First: through the eyes of a child, hand in his during family trips, his hand on her first bike when she learned how to ride. Then: through the eyes of a teenager, peeking behind her blinds into his room on hot summer months when he didn't wear a shirt, eyes lingering on his lips when he pulled away his cigarette.

    Now, she is so much older, but he is older still, and the gap between them feels ever widening. But her desire to close it only feels more desperate.

    (aka eremika age gap modern au)

    ...

    “I’m not sure how this is supposed to go.” She hangs her jacket on his bed. There’s a little tie at her back that holds her dress together, and his eyes linger on the bare skin underneath it. He shoves his hands in pockets, so he doesn’t do something stupid like tug on the string. “Do I hug you?" She asks. "We’re going to have sex, so I’m not sure how I should start things, to be honest.”

    “We don’t exactly go from point A to Z like that.” Eren swallows, cringing at the clinical, matter-of-fact manner in which she states her purpose. “There are some steps in the middle, you know.”

    Summary

    Takes place right after Part II

     

    On her way back to Jackson, Ellie spends the night in an abandoned little cabin in the woods. If she had known that the cabin would teleport her into a world where the cordyceps doesn't exist and Joel is very much alive, she'd have made a ten mile detour around it.

    But as it is, she's stuck in a modern Jackson now and neither she nor Joel have any idea how to get her back. Ellie has no choice but to confront her demons, and Joel—

    Well, he has a few demons of his own to deal with.

    Summary

    An hour from dawn, just as Ellie catches the first strains of fluting birdsong, she hears that rustle again. She keeps her eyes squeezed shut and holds very still as Joel’s boots crunch their way over the six feet of dead grass in between their sleeping spots; as he breathes in once, noisily, like he wants to say something; as something heavy and warm drops over her body.

    Joel’s jacket doesn’t smell very nice—like him—but it’s better than nothing.

    Ellie goes through the stages of infection.
