Summary
When Levi accepts a job at a pet store to help pay for his bills, he can't help but hate every aspect of it. But when a regular customer shows up during his shifts to find feed for his birds, Levi can't help but feel the job seems just a little more bearable.

Summary
“You really let this place fall to shit when you’re alone. It’s a bad look, Commander.” Somehow life goes on, cruel and unfair as ever. Somehow, it’s been three days of monotonous self-loathing and the door to his office is suddenly wide open, though Erwin knows he had locked it. Shutting out the world is one thing, something he learned and honed long before accepting the title of Commander. Shutting out Levi is another thing entirely, almost impossible and decidedly not worth the astounding amount of effort it would take to try.

Summary
It's been four months since a new hire for the custodial staff began prowling the halls of Eldia High. A one-eyed, intimidating man who Erwin deems inconsequential, a shadow he needn't shine a light on. It isn't until the annual faculty Christmas party that he finally decides to introduce himself to the sullen face he's passed many times in the halls. It seems he was incorrect in assuming Levi negligible. No, he is far from that. He soon becomes the most important person in Erwin's life.

Summary
England, 1812. For as long as he can remember, Levi Ackerman has worked as a physician in the sleepy little town of Brighthampton. Together with his ward, Eren Jaeger, he lives a secluded, tranquil life, its monotonous routine occasionally interrupted by social gatherings and evening societies. It's a life that lost its allure long ago, sustained only by resignation and a sense of duty. When Stenton Park mansion is leased for the summer to two gentlemen from London, it becomes evident that Levi's life will soon undergo a significant change...

Summary
The first day of the Archaeological Symposium has been long and tiring and Erwin just needs one cup of coffee before he attempts to find his way back to his hotel.
“Just a long black, please.”
The barista drawls something in Arabic, sounding mildly irritated as he points at the menu.
“Coffee,” Erwin clarifies intelligently. He’s hot, he’s tired, he’s confused. He wants caffeine as soon as possible.

Summary
Eiji decides to bring Ash back to Izumo for his hometown's biggest summer festival.
Maybe they're fine. Maybe things aren't falling apart. Maybe Eiji wants whatever shred of intimacy they had left to last.
Or maybe, sometimes a love just dies.

Summary
There's a stark contrast between living within the walls and living without them, and it takes Levi a while of living on his own without them to figure out exactly what it is that he wants out life and his new found freedom. It takes him a while to figure out that it's Erwin that he wants.

Summary
After everything that had happened, Ash ran away from his previous life, never to look back, which was how he found himself in a run down diner in Washington. Lost, alone and nowhere to go to, he met a dark eyed stranger which may change his life for the better or worse. Before he knew it, Ash found himself in another whirlwind adventure with this strange Japanese man who seemed to be the most stupid, reckless, and unfathomable man he's ever met.

Summary
"What the hell are you doing?" Ash's fight-or-flight activates. He sees his heart running laps around the track. It’s suddenly hard to breathe and it feels like something’s obstructing his air passage. He tells himself it's probably pollen or the sun beating down on him. There’s absolutely nothing to worry about. Just drink some water and cough it out.
"Photosynthesizing."
But Ash is smart. He knows better. And with that stupid response that manifested all of the idiotic energy on campus, he knows this sweaty, innocuous boy laying down by the turf with his farmer's tan on full display is the root of all his suffering. Damn him to Hell.
With his booming essay business thwarted by an egregious punishment, Ash Callenreese finds himself in charge of the college paper's sports column following the school's biggest athletic star.

Summary
One night, world famous musician Ash Lynx drunk tweets about a cute boy he saw in a magazine and all hell breaks loose.
“Oh my God, just show me!” Eiji yells nervously.
Yut-Lung presses his lips tightly, turning his phone screen for Eiji to see. Eiji tenses when he sees the photos from his photoshoot on Twitter, but it’s nothing compared to the way his body freezes when he notices the person who tweeted them.

Eiji stares, and stares, and stares while his brain processes the fact that Ash Lynx, the Ash Lynx –famous musician whose entire discography is on Eiji’s Spotify list— has tweeted about him and called him fine.
A long moment later, Eiji’s mouth falls open and a scream rips from his throat.

Summary
Levi hates Companions – people who sell romance and a night of pleasure to anyone rich enough to pay. These Companions are more than prostitutes; they’re actors, allowing their clients to live out the romantic encounters of their dreams. And Levi finds the very idea of them disgusting.
But Hanji gets him an appointment, anyway. And, somehow, Levi is persuaded to go. And the Companion he finds is very different from what he expected.
Levi knows that it’s all fake. But, in spite of himself, he can’t stay away from Erwin Smith.

Summary
Ash closes his eyes. Years of waiting culminate in weightless dust, soon to be swept away by the living. This earthen smell will fade. It will be overtaken by home-cooked meals and citron peels. Silence will forsake to Sunday radio static and the slow turnings of a page. Behind curtains, it’ll be the push and pull of their noses as they love each other sore, cutting into the pristine sheet of white starlight.
Slowly, they’ll imprint this house until it has become theirs. Ash waits for that day.
Or, the steps to remedy a fragile soul.
