A Definitive Deconstruction of God: Materials, Methods, and Results

by LivianLynx

In which Zeke Yeager and Hange Zoë write to each other about the voluntary experiments carried out on Bertholdt Hoover and the Colossal Titan. [Canon divergent collection of correspondence that explores titan shifter biology, worldbuilding, and in-universe science—as well as how fellow researchers on opposite sides of a conflict can turn into allies]

That is most unfortunate. We acted preemptively when we slew the holder of the Colossal Titan after his defeat. We shall respect your wishes not to scrutinise Eren beyond the basic titan capabilities that can be researched painlessly. His friends would not allow me to harm him, so I can assure you that we will treat him with dignity, as a comrade deserves.

I thank you for your notes. I shall study them and see if I can discover anything new hidden within. Should you discover anything in the meantime, please do not hesitate to keep me informed.

Respectfully

Commander Hange Zoë
27th of September, 851
