of titan science. So, at that point I (and many others) begin to wonder if that meant they couldn’t become titans. Then in the forest while everyone else was unknowingly drinking the tainted wine, Levi was looking for tea, so it made it seem ambiguous as to whether or not he drank any. When Zeke screamed to titanize everyone he seemed assured that Levi would be eaten, not that he was turned so Zeke ether knew that Levi didn’t drink the wine or that he did but couldn’t be turned. 2/3

A lot of what we know about the Ackermans is hearsay, coming from non-primary sources of Zeke or Ksaver. The only thing we did get from primary (grate-grandpa) was that their a unique bloodline, separate from the Eldians. Levi and Mikasa being able to enter PATHS made it seem like perhaps because their at least half Eldian that it might have been possible, but I guess now we know so long as someone is at least partly Ackerman they can’t be turned? 3/3

Oooh, you’re right. I’d missed the point that Zeke was 0% surprised that Levi wasn’t titanized which means Zeke either knew Ackermans were immune or else he was aware that Levi didn’t drink the wine.  While it was never stated, I think in my head I’d assumed Levi did drink the wine at some point in the forest and that’s why he was confident that he and Mikasa would not be victims of the poison gas. Now I’m not sure.

I think what’s going to be interesting is that happens to the Ackermans if the titan curse is removed. Do they lose their strength? Or worse? Let’s say for instance if the curse is undone and the mindless and wall titan die, would the Ackermans die as well?  I don’t think that will happen but it might still mean a significant biological change in Levi and Mikasa  😅

I think this is the one thing I’ve not really considered because as a Siberian, the average temp even in an industrial freezer is definitely tolerable.......... I’ve gone on walks in - 20°C and have been fine... Whoops. 

HOWEVER.

Oh, that sounds cool! And I’m honored that you want to use my drawing for it ❤

Mike’s eyes were already on the door when Levi knocked, and he let himself in a second later, shut the door, pressed his back to it, and didn’t come any closer. His hands tangled in front of him, worrying themselves nervously, a rare sign of uncertainty for Levi, and that made Mike’s heart twist, stomach flipping as he straightened up, shifted the papers on his desk, shut his laptop. “Levi? Is something wrong?”

Levi opened his mouth, but all that left was a little puff of air before he shook his head, pressed one hand to his temple. “Okay… look… I’m not crazy when I say that, last night, you said ‘I’m glad we were reborn together’, right?”

Mike’s mouth was dry, his own hands unsteady now as he clenched them on his desk. I could play it off like a dream. But what if he remembers? It was a hit and miss - some people remembered everything, like Hanji, and some remembered nothing, like Erwin, and even more remembered bits and pieces, fragments of a picture that they could hope to one day stitch together if they saw each other again. If they wanted to, if it didn’t drive them insane first. “I…”

“Do you remember too?” Levi’s voice was sharp, direct, carrying the same authority he had all those lifetimes ago, in another world dominated by the unspeakable terrors of their time.

Mike nodded.

Levi slumped, the tension fleeing from his shoulders in a rush as he crossed the short distance and flung himself into Mike’s arms. The blond caught him, pulled him close as Levi buried his face into Mike’s neck, fingers tangling into his shaggy hair. “I thought… I was alone. I could remember everyone, but you… you’re the only one I’ve found who remembers.” His voice cracked a little, faint tremors working through his body as he shook his head. “I thought I was crazy.”

“You’re not,” Mike croaked as his grip on Levi tightened, as he pulled his lover closer. “It’s true, I promise.” All of it was. All that death and horror and destruction - but all that love too, the unspoken kind that lay between them, that had gone with Mike to his grave, the one thing he’d truly had regrets for in that life.

But now- Levi pulled back, silver eyes sharp, alive, and his hands cupped Mike’s face as he leaned close, smiling faintly. “I’m glad we’re here together too.”

He leaned in, kissed Mike hard enough that their noses bumped painfully and teeth clicked together, but neither paid any attention. They just tugged each other closer, breathed each other in, found heartbeats pulsing under warm skin, signs of life, that it was real, and Mike couldn’t help but smile as tears burned from his eyes. Levi laughed, shook his head as he kissed Mike’s cheeks, and leaned back so they could look at each other. Mike’s hands engulfed Levi’s face, stretched back into his hair, and the hands on his face were soft, lacking the thick callouses that the old ones had.

“We’re different,” Levi said softly.

“Softer,” Mike agreed.

Levi smiled. “I still love you.”
