It all began during an expedition. It was just one mission. After that, she'd be resting in the barracks once more. That was exactly what she was going to do, until she came across an abnormal. An unlikely bond was forming between the soldier and the Titan, something she had feared for half of her life. (This was supposed to be a crack fic but i got too far lol)

The four remaining survivors were fighting for a way out of the woods when they suddenly encountered Ain, a not-yet-fully-infected hunter. Zoey couldn't stand seeing herself leaving the still-conscious infected behind and so she'd decided to bring him along. Just as everything seemed fine, the change of the hunter's nature proved Zoey's instincts wrong.
