A/N: For Gamer because they requested a Hanji/Levi based drabble post-Isabel and Farlan. Not quite sure how I did on this one because I'm not a very big LeviHan shipper and just wanted to focus on their relationship as comrades rather than go for a full-on romantic thing. Also, angry Hanji is always very hot.

She's crazy, he thinks. He's always thought so but Isabel had always told him he was too quick to judge people. After observing the crazy scientist for a while, he's sure he's correct with his initial assessment. There's no other explanation for her behavior. How can anyone leave the Walls with a smile on their face, knowing that the chances of being eaten alive were greater than coming back? What made it so that she was able to crack jokes even after seeing her friends eaten in front of her? Who could laugh after facing those nightmarish monstrosities? The answer to the last one: Hanji Zoe.

He hates her constant jabbering too. It's like she doesn't know the value of peace and quiet. Just when he thinks she's going to be serious she manages to slip in a shitty quip and a quick grin. He wishes Erwin would tell her to shut the fuck up. Hell, he's done so on a couple of occasions but the bespectacled motor mouth would only laugh at him in return, pinching his cheeks and telling him he was adorable. He's smacked her hand away every time. It should be apparent to her that he despises her company. She's more of an annoyance than anything. Erwin doesn't seem to think so though because he's still keeping her as a squad leader for some goddamn leader. He can hardly fathom how she's managed to hold onto the position for so long. Any person who charges headfirst into a mass of Titans carelessly, calling them affectionate names as she cuts them down, hardly seems sane enough to lead a squad.

"Would you fucking quit it?" he snaps one night after a particularly bad expedition. She shouldn't be this cheerful. No one should. And yet here she is joking about the possibility of sneaking in one of those ugly Titans into the Walls so she can do some crazy experiment on it.

Usually she ignores his rudeness and continues to talk about whatever it is she's blabbering about. This time, however, she stops, her smile frozen on her face. "Quit what?" she asks, laughing a little. Even now her tone isn't serious and that seems to fuel his anger even more.

"No one wants to hear your stupid ideas," he growls. He knows his words are harsh but he's tired of hearing her voice. Her nonsensical attraction to Titans would get them all killed one day, he's sure of it. "People have died today and you're here joking around. It's like you're a fucking psychopath."

"You think I'm crazy?" she asks him. Her voice is so quiet now. It's not exactly a whisper, but it's the softest he's ever heard her speak. There's a spark in her eyes that's different from the usual mischievous sparkle she gets. Somehow it looks familiar to him. There's a small smile on her face but it looks twisted and he can tell this isn't her normal carefree self. She's serious for once, he realizes.

He opens his mouth to tell her that, yes, he thinks she's absolutely bat shit crazy but she interrupts him before he can speak.

"Is it a sin for me to try to find happiness even after seeing my comrades have fallen?" she asks him. Her eyes are alight with fire now, one that he knows lights up his own when he's on the battlefield. The smile on her face has disappeared, a grim expression replacing it. "Is the only proper way to mourn my fellow soldiers to brood all day and mumble beneath my breath like you?"

"I don't-" Making her angry now is a mistake he realizes, but it's too late.

"So what do you call it then, Ackerman, when you burst onto the battlefield, felling Titans down left and right with your eyes blazing with revenge? When the rest of your comrades return, half of them beg to be let go because of the monstrous sights they've seen. Not you. You say you hate it but you like it. You like going out there and killing all of those goddamn Titans because it lets you vent out your anger. Because you don't have to hold it inside anymore and deal with Isabel and Farlan's blood on your hands," she spits.

Normally he wouldn't bother. He deals with pissed off people all of the time, but the mention of Isabel and Farlan's name manages to make him angry enough to bother with this stupid, goddamn, goggled, half-baked scientist. "You shut the fuck up about Isabel and Farlan," he hisses. "You don't have a right to even say their names. You helped lead them to their dooms. You're the one who made them think they'd be safe."

Hanji raises her eyebrows, her face in an expression of fake surprise. "Was that really me or was it you? You, who swore to protect them even when you were still living in the Underground. Was it me who abandoned them to get some dirty money after slitting Erwin Smith's throat? Was it me who left them all alone?"

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" he barks. He turns around, throwing his fist at where the scientist is standing but it misses. His clenched fist hits the stone wall and the collision seems to echo around the hall but it doesn't hurt. He doesn't feel anything except angry.

If Hanji is scared, she doesn't show it. Levi doesn't even think she flinched when he threw that punch. Even more proof that she's fucking insane. "It's not like I haven't seen my own friends die in front of my eyes. I've seen their limbs torn off, their bodies in shreds. We've all lost people hat didn't deserve to die," she says quietly. He never thought she could be that quiet. "And we all grieve in different ways. Most people close up and try to run away. Other people – you and me – charge headfirst into what killed everyone they loved. I just happen to laugh at it."

"That's not the same thing," he tries to protest, but he can see that they're more similar now than he had ever thought they'd be. Than he had ever wanted them to be.

"So maybe I'm crazy," Hanji continues, "but maybe you're a little crazy too." Her voice is still soft but it's not angry. It's almost kind, he thinks.

And as much as he tries to resist this new thought, this new truth, he can't help but think that perhaps she's right. They're both crazy.

A/N: Thanks for patiently waiting for my return! I appreciate it deeply. I actually haven't had a chance to watch the SnK s2 finale (although I do know what happens since I'm all caught up with the manga).

Anyway, thank you so much for the reviews and if you guys want to see any particular characters/pairings (although you'll have to be really specific if you want it to be a romantic thing because sometimes I just assume it's platonic since I'm rather bad with these things), feel free to let me know! Hopefully I'll update soon :)
