My best friend and I make a habit of creating our own fun little AUs of most of the anime we watch. Some of them, we put much more thought into than others; "Calynn" and "Elle" are the non-serious OCs we typically manipulate as per the AU, but sometimes, we REALLY develop not only them, but their children. Attack on Titan is one of those anime we have done that with, since it's our ultimate favorite.
Now, we never usually do anything with these AUs of ours besides develop them in our heads and through personal RPs. However, one day in English class, I had to write a prompt about an uncle giving a special key to his niece or nephew and telling them, "You know what to do." My best friend and I had decided that Elle and Armin's children viewed Eren as an uncle, and so I decided to write the prompt about their second oldest child, a character I'd named Leah. That was the inspiration for the (shamefully slapdash) first chapter of this story, and I didn't have any intent of continuing it... Nonetheless, my teacher quite enjoyed it, and said that if I did write a continuation, he would love to read it. And so I decided that I would actually write out the full story of this AU of ours, using Leah as the protagonist.
The reason a lot of the story is written as if the reader knew nothing about Attack on Titan is because my teacher is following along, and I realize that it's kind of annoying for a fan. I'm sorry about that, if it is!
The characters Cecille, Fergus, Calynn, Elle, Mrs. Creed, Malcolm, Edward, Lexus, Janie, Dillon, Annette, Pat, Donovan, Leah, Fritz, Gisela, Ronald, Darin, Doriane, Tobias, Wolfram, Arthur, Alice, Kouki, and Naomi were created by either me, KiwiFruit07, or the both of us. The others belong to Hajime Isayama, though their stories have been slightly altered to fit the fic.
This story was purely written as a method of enjoyment for KiwiFruit07 and I and a result of our imaginations; please, no hate, and enjoy reading if you choose to!
