This is a story I worked very hard on for a very long time, but I've lost interest now and haven't written further in a very long time. I figured I'd post it on this website now in the hopes that some people would enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. It won't go down in history or anything, but I think it's a pretty good story.

I've never written a fanfiction before, and may never again, and I'm not someone who typically watches anime or tv shows at all. But when I watched SnK, I was really taken with the story. The emotion, the heartache, the characters, I truly loved it. So when I wrote this story that takes place before and during events of the first season of the show.

I chose to focus on OCs to give me freedom to tell a story without having to focus too much on cannon.

If you did read it and enjoyed it, I'd love to hear from you! Whether you enjoyed it or not, feedback is always appreciated to improve my writings in the future. I can be reached by email at
