“Cadet (Last Name),” a regal voice called out to you while you were in the stables tending to your golden stallion, who you so affectionately named ‘Sundance’. You were preparing to go off on a quick mission, being the last member of Levi's team who hadn’t been killed by the Female Titan. You paused in grooming your horse companion as you turned to find Commander Erwin approaching you, squad leaders Mike and Levi walking behind on either sides of him. You quickly dropped the brush into the bucket of horse care products then stood up straight and saluted your superiors.

“Cadet (Name) (Last Name), sir!” you called out confidently with full respect, “How may I be of service to you, Commander Smith?"

It was at this moment that you noticed something about Levi. His expression was empty, as always, but his eyes... They were saying something, trying to tell you something. Telling you to leave.

Your eyes widened as several Military Police soldiers surrounded you in Sundance’s stall, keeping you blocked from exiting as well as pointing their blades at you. Your salute dropped as you took a step back, surprised and frightened. You had no idea what was going on. You looked around at everyone before landing your gaze on Levi – your secret lover. You could see that he was holding himself back.

“This wasn’t the agreed terms of approach, was it?” Levi’s sarcastic voice called out towards the Military Police. He was becoming increasingly angry, and you could tell.

“I agree. Stand down. She is under our jurisdiction and she is our responsibility,” Erwin’s eyes were piercing and his voice was solid, “She is ours.”

“Wh-what,” you began to speak, confusion clear in your voice as you took another step back, retreating into your loyal companion. Sundance gently neighed, sensing your fear, and attempted to protect you behind his muzzle, “What’s going on?! Why am I being talked about like an animal? Like an object?!”

One MP stepped forward, his gun at hand, pointed towards you. Erwin, Levi, and Mike readied to attack and the MP followed suit. Surrounding Recon members were watching, wondering what was going on. You even heard someone say that they were going to get the other squad leaders.

“As if you don’t know why, you damned titan!”

All sounds ceased as the word ‘titan’ resonated within the large stables. Your (e/c) eyes widened as you clenched Sundance’s mane in surprise. Your jaw went slack in absolute disbelief. How could he...? How could they...? But you’ve never... What was going on?!

“We know all about you, you damn animal!” the same MP yelled out to you, “Your tribesmen too!”

That comment gripped your heart and you felt something bubble within you. Your expression went from frightened to grim in a split second. You loved your tribesmen above all else and became enraged when others talked down towards them.

“I will not tell you again to stand down, soldier,” Erwin spoke up again, slightly agitated.

“We will not harm her,” the team leader of the MP soldiers finally opened his mouth to speak, “But we are on orders to confiscate her mount, as it had come with her from the village. It will be placed within a separate stable.”

He kindly looked towards you, dropping his rifle and approaching both you and your mustang. You stood still, holding onto his mane. Not sensing danger yet, the mustang just watched him, suspiciously. The leader gently took hold of Sundance’s reins and began to lead him out. With a gentle pat, Sundance, cautiously, followed. As the leader and Sundance exited the stall and were far enough, he put the reins in another MP’s hands and softly spoke, thinking he wouldn't be heard by your hyper trained ears.

“Dissect this thing.”

Your eyes bulged, not believing your ears. The MP leader had been gentle with you only to take control of your companion.

“Sundance!” you rushed out of the stall, but your arms were restrained and you were kept back. You glared, dangerously, towards the leader and MP holding onto your horse, “Unhand my mustang, you ANIMALS!”

You whistled, sharply, causing Sundance to turn in your direction, seeing you held back. He neighed, getting a bit rowdy.

Keakenei, Sundance!” you desperately yelled out a word in your own language - one known to him - wanting, more than anything, for him to survive, “Run, my friend! Go!”

Immediately, Sundance began to rampage, going into a frenzy as he got free of the MP’s grasp. He knocked the MP back with his hind legs and cantered around, wanting to get you. Within the second, you saw several guns pointing at Sundance. Your heart stopped.

“SUNDANCE!” you screamed. In one swift motion, you grabbed onto your sharp tooth necklace, letting it pierce your hand. A loud boom surrounded the area and smoke tossed everyone away. Levi, Erwin, and Mike were quick to cover themselves, standing their ground, but Levi kept his eyes on your position.

As the smoke cleared up, there, in the center of the stables, was a female titan with long, (h/c) hair falling along its shoulders and around the ground. She was crouched over as if protecting something. And she was. Her faithful companion. Her horse.

“Get that thing! NOW!” the MP leader ordered his soldiers.

“Survey Corps!” Commander Erwin yelled loudly over him, “Protect that titan!”

Though confused, some members quickly acted to stop the MP soldiers from harming the female titan, most of the Corps members fought like they had a bone to pick with the MP, and that was more than enough for them to attack and protect.

“Levi,” Erwin called out with a firm voice.

“I’m on it,” he said before taking off on his gear and landing on your titan shoulder. He pressed his hand on your head, grabbing a bundle of your hair, and shouted into your ear. He knew you would recognize his voice above all things, “It’s me, you damned brat. We’re getting away from here.”

You slightly looked up, your (e/c) eyes visible for Levi to see. You knew you could trust him. He was the only person who truly knew about your titan form – the only one who had seen it – before today. With Sundance in your left hand, you swiftly crawled out of the large barn doors. Of course, you didn’t go unnoticed. You were eleven meters tall, after all. Two MP’s hooked onto either of your shoulders. Levi had his hook in between your shoulder blades, awaiting them. As they closed in, Levi cut the line for one MP while the other was met with the bottom of Levi’s boot straight into the face. A cracking noise sounded, most probably the MP’s newly broken nose, as Levi used his other foot to kick him off of you and yanked out his line.

You took a glance behind you. No more Military Police soldiers chased after you, and you sighed in relief, knowing that the Scouts, including Erwin and Mike, were doing a fantastic job at holding them off.

‘Thank you, Levi.’

He was protecting you. He was guarding your nape at all costs. He wasn’t doing it because Erwin ordered him to. He did it because, deep down, he loved you more than he would ever let be known.

You ran until you were in a safe area. You uncovered your hands to reveal the unharmed golden mustang. You smiled as you lowered your hands and let Sundance down. He cantered around a bit to exercise his legs, then neighed cheerfully. You were so happy.

You never liked transforming back in front of others, so did so in the shelter of the forest before heading back, wearily, to Levi and Sundance. You still weren’t used to the whole ‘transforming to and from’ business. You stumbled forward, falling against Sundance, who allowed you to use him for support.

“Thanks, boy,” you weakly smiled, nuzzling his neck, “I’m so happy that you’re safe and okay. I love you, Sundance.”

You were suddenly lifted from the ground, now up in Levi’s strong arms.

“L-Levi,” you called out in surprise.

“You’re weak now,” he spoke calmly as he took hold of Sundance’s reins and hoisted the two of you onto the saddle. He sat as the rider while he held you in his arms, sitting you down between his legs and letting your legs lay along his lap, “We’re retreating to the old castle. Erwin already knows. It was the backup plan.”

Ready now, Levi led Sundance to trot, then canter, and finally gallop in the direction he knew the old castle to be in.

“But...how did...?"

“To be honest,” Levi looked straight ahead as he rode, “I have not a shit of an idea. The west Military Police head found out somehow and immediately requested your execution after the bullshit with the first female titan. We tried to get an exclusive viewing with you, but the MP insisted to be present. It was expected that they would fuck up.”

You remained silent. You knew it would come out at some point, you just wished that other people didn’t have to be involved. Your comrades. Your friends. You softly sighed.

“It’s unfortunate that it turned out this way, huh?” Levi spoke again, knowing what you were thinking. He read you like a book, “You need to lay low for a short while. Don’t fuck that up, at least.”

You just nodded. He was right. Of course he was right. You nodded once again, clutching onto his jacket and burying your face in his chest. This was the beginning of complicated times.

The secret was out.

WHERE DO I FIND THE TIME TO WRITE THESE THINGS?? LOL As if I don't have, like, four finals to be studying for </333

How did Annie go from Titan to human so secretly during the 57th expedition, anyways? Was there titan smoke? Did anyone see? What? WUT?

I want to do another Shifter!Reader fic. I haven't gotten the handle of being a titan shifter, so I want to try again~ C:

Heres the thing, if I somehow magically teleported into attack on titan I would find all of the MPs and scream at them and yell and then find Levi jump on his back and use Jean as a horse and Hanji, Eren, Armin, Mikasa, Sasha, Christa, Ymir, Erwin, Mike, and Connie can come along and we will bring Reiner and Bertholdt as bait.
