⟪Attack on Titan⟫

⋞۵⋟ Ashes ⋞۵⋟

The uneasy alliance that had formed in the wake of the Rumbling—combined of the remaining scouts and Marleyan Warriors—had all just finished eating together. Mistrust and exhaustion between old enemies sat side by side with clenched jaws, bound together only by the sheer necessity of stopping Eren.

For you, the tension cut even deeper. Memories, once buried in your subconscious to bring forth a new life among the Scouts, had returned with brutal clarity. Marley, the Warrior program, the mission—you remembered it all now, thankfully or not for the Rumbling's activation. And with it came Pieck, the comrade who had once been closer to you than anyone.

Initially, it was too good to be true that you—even after watching you fall to the scouts years ago—were truly alive this whole time. Since the Rumbling came, she had watched you all day and night, her sharp eyes never straying far. Afterall, she was the one who had seen you die, who had mourned the closest of her allies.

And now you stand here, alive, and together again, wearing the cloak of the very soldiers Marley branded enemies. With the world itself trembling under the advance of the Rumbling, there was little to no time to unravel the years of betrayal, grief, and unanswered questions. Yet Pieck couldn’t ignore you—not when your existence cut so deeply against every scar she’d learned to live with.

THIS ⇨ "Escape"

In the same "universe" as the Annie bot. And since that's the case, it would take place before it.

Thought I could make an interesting inverse if I kept it in the same storyline, so here we are.

And while not the bot to fulfill the request, it was thanks to @jace21's original request that I came with the two part release.
