This was for a prompt, that me and someone else were talking about you will not find it on any kink meme. for a Nell and attack on Titan/Tarzan crossover where eren was never human, instead the humans the titans and the titan shifters are all separate species, the war is still going on and the Titan shifters are a peaceful people who live in the forest of wall Maria and do not choose sides because they are both human and Titan and don't know where to even begin. One day mikasa and armin come across a strange Titan that saves their lives, the three become friends and after the death of his parents eren desperate for contact takes his human form, a feral child complete with inappropriate nudity extremely broken English and social impairment.

Points for prompt are as follows…

•the titan shifters are like the native American's of the titan world. (Intimately connected with nature, can understand titans ex.)

•mikasa somehow always knowing what eren is saying despite his impaired speech.

• eren being completely out of his depth as far as the human world goes.

• the science division being completely enchanted and scientifically curious about eren and wanting to study him especially you know who, because of eren's raw openness and innocence.

• eren learning about the human world and how it works.

• the trial still happening over the custody of eren for the same reasons, only in like the movie Nell, mikasa speaks for eren, and eren must decide to go back where he came from or stay with his friends.

Chapter one; my walking skin

Erens skin writhed and itched where the mean men had sliced him with their tiny knifes, it really wasn't a big deal steam was already wafting from the wounds healing him but the phantom itch remained. he was alone the rain pounding on his back his only company ,thinking back to the events that had just accrued that evening he supposed he really shouldn't have , his mother had always told him never let anyone see you EVER !

But he hadn't been able to help it! He hadn't really known what the mean men were planning with 2 such young children but he could tell from their words it was not good , so of course he had to step in, and step in he had so loudly in fact the men had fled like aunts before he really did anything his mother would have died being seen by not 1 but 5 people , but seeing the gratitude light up in the small children's faces as they realized that he had saved there lives and indeed had no intent to eat them had set a warm glow in his heart and has he had carried them home cradled in his palms , or as close to home as he was willing to go anyway he couldn't help but feel it was worth it .

They'd thanked him and hugged him before running into the house that the one called "armin" family resided in where they were greeted by warm hugs and loving words , the intimacy reminded him of his own family and hed turned from the touching scean to make his lumbering way home .

The walk was shorter then it would be for a human with his fit and hulking body , but was still in the heart of the dense forest that gave his people there secret shelter within wall Maria clustered from both the humans and there branch off species the humans called "titans" . he never understood the animosity between the 2 and was glad he wasn't involved , he knew of the war thanks to the many trips his father made under the guise of a doctor passed the wall called rose and the few and far books his mother had spirited away

But still simply couldn't understand it, hed convers with the titans sometimes asking them question, the smarter of them answering , but they always served to confuses him more. They'd look with blank faces and mutter "we have to eat humans, or we get dumber, we have to find our minds " find your minds? What a strange thing to say, eren didn't eat humans and he was fine

In fact all his people were fine and none of them ate humans , but he supposed he would never understand the race he shared powers with it seemed that was where the similarity's ended . he let the thoughts slip his mind and what some would call a smile grace his fleshless lips ,as his village came in to sight . his foot steeps shock the earth as he quicken his pace his home was easy to get to his mother and fathers house was on the out skirts of the village he didn't even need to walk through it to get there .

He was greeted by the sight of his mother, claras brown eyes sparkling with mischief as he approached "oh , where ever have you been dearest ? I worried you would not be home before dark ." eren snorted the motion causing steam to pour from his nose followed by growls and grunts 'im not a child ' his mother scuffed "mothers still worry ..And if your no child why do you still have such a form hmm ?"

Eren whined and rolled his piercing green eyes , not this again , he was constantly reminded that he was the only one of his people that had come of age and still had not gained his human form and was forced to suffer the humiliation of having to use the great stone shelters built for the children who were not of age to control their shifting, to bed down at night. not that he could blame anyone if he had even attempted to try he would have destroyed the house , still the constant teasing was more than adequate.

His mother merely smiled letting out a soft chuckle, "don't worry love you'll get it soon enough, it's what were made to do , were skin walkers after all " a what ? His pointed ears pricked at the strange word, while his mother only smiled wider her eyes lighting up "it's a word I learned from a new book, a skin walker was a human who could become something else ! Like walking into a new skin, ha, can you imagine?!"

Eren puffed out a laugh, a new skin huh ? no he couldn't imagine humans being anything but what they were he leaned down closer to clara wanting and needing more of her stories , but as he neared her smile faltered and she suddenly scented the air "what have you done ?" he whined again hed been dredging this .

"eren, you have the sent of humans on you ! what did you do ? what have I told you ?!" claras eyes flashed and her tone roes with every word a growl emphasizing the words her titan coming out even in her human form , he mewed trying to calm explaining the nights events through growls and rumbles his only way of communication in this form .

But it did nothing she was practically snarling now "what have I told you! you never listen to me eren , what if you'd gotten yourself killed , what would I do ?" he cast his eyes down afraid to speak , seeing it his mother finally sighed "eren you must listen , we live this peaceful live here because we chose a long time ago to separate ourselves from both the titans and the humans , and to never get involved in ether side of the war , its different when I and your father do , we can take this form , we can hide ourselves, if the humans saw you they would kill you ."

He huffed 'as if they could ' his mother hissed through her teeth "I mean it eren , promises me you wont go near them again ." he breathed deeply , letting thick steam out in a long sigh but nodded his head and gave a low purr . his mother smiled her eyes full once again of that gentle light "I know it seems unfair but Im doing this to protect you , now go get some rest the sun is down and it grows late "

Eren huffed 'im still not a kid ' "ha ha go my little skinwalker " he grumbled but did as he was told , bedding down in the shifter made cavern closes to his house and laying down on the smooth cool earth, but he could find no rest , his mind kept going back to the 2 young ones he had met that day , how there smiles had made his chest warm , how good it had felt when they'd hugged him without fear

He found himself wanting to see them again , a burning desire that wouldn't leave him , then he thought back to what his mother had said , how easy it was to get near humans if you looked like them , and he really wanted to be close to the humans, yes he thought , maybe he could do it ,if he could just find his walking skin .
