for Surviving Peace2/3/2022 c8 Cloud Ex-SOLDIER
I like your description of veteran Survey Corps members finding their next phase of life after the Titans defeat. From Connie and Sasha, Jean in his own way, and of course, Levi and Mikasa.
It's funny how Mikasa used her playful insults (shorty-related ones) less and less as her relationship with Levi progressed.
It's good to see Levi and Mikasa find each other and have a child that represents what the wanted in llfe and can have, a normal, mundane, and peaceful life.

I've always just wanted to see Mikasa doing okay after, however AoT ends, and this was great! Really enjoyed it and read it all in one sitting

I like the idea of Levi running a war- horse sanctuary... also of him being a walking advertisement for Connie's work haha

Woah. You are honestly the most impressive writer I've read in my last few months back on ffn. When I got back to ffn, I searched for stories based on if they had lots of reviews, but quickly discovered that is not an accurate portrayal of the best, mature, in-character stories with real depth. Your story is a perfect example of this. I know as a writer it can be rewarding to get those reviews so I just wanted to start by saying that, you should have hundreds of reviews and favorites; this story is just perfect all around.
1. I can't believe how in-character you kept them. At the points in the story when you could have flipped the switch to make their problems and trauma all disappear (which is not real life), you kept them in-character and grounded with a slow, gradual evolution that matched the plot and their romantic development perfectly.
2. Even though it would have been simpler to leave Eren out or weave Eren out, you were honest to Mikasa's character and always made her continued attachment to him understandable. Life is not black and white, Levi or Eren, past then present. You explored that grief and overcoming of it with such maturity and depth.
3. Your portrayal of both Levi and Mikasa is startlingly perfect and helps me understand them as characters better. I don't even have the words to describe it, but the dialogue, Mikasa's internal mantra, how we see Levi express himself. You just captured them perfectly, with never a single moment I felt it wasn't realistic. Two things really impressed me, too. Usually I read a fic and the first chapter starts so promising but then the characters immediately become OOC due to writer intrusion (I'm sure I've been guilty of it) and it isn't worth reading further; but when I was reading your work, I believe it was the scene in the beginning when they sit quietly and smoke cigarettes and don't speak, I knew that I could trust you. It felt good to keep reading knowing I could trust you to carry the story without breaking character, which helped me dive into it, instead of holding back from enjoying it from the start. Then, it should have gotten to the point that I 'wished' for more of them, more vocalizations of passion and feeling, more explicit announcements of their love, even though it may have been out of character, but nope. You built their love for each other up so apparent in real, honest ways and portrayed it so well that cliches and token moments weren't required. Fascinating. Great job.
4. Surviving Peace. I didn't honestly really look or think about the title into about half-way the story, and then I got it. My words won't do it justice here either; you captured Mikasa's struggle to survive peace, to fit into a new, "normal" life, to allow herself to let Levi (or anything in) - at first with just the basic need to feel and then on such a more fulfilling level, and her fear of getting closer, all of that, you just captured it so well. It wasn't too depressive or morbid in a melodramatic fashion, and it wasn't too cheesy or simple, either. The moment when Levi doesn't leave her as she gives birth and the symbolism there was so perfect. (I can't stop using the word perfect because honestly, it is!)
5. Thank you for keeping things canon/realistic. AU is fine here and there, but gosh it is so satisfying and I'm so happy you used your skills to help me envision them in such a real manner in the AoT realm.
6. I'm not even able to call your intimate scenes smut. I've been down the smut rabbit hole lately and there's nothing wrong with smut, but let's be real most of the time it's OOC and a bit out of place. Not in your story! Their intimate scenes were so intricately intertwined into the plot, character development, and how their love evolved that it was so human, so perfect. First, not kissing; then, kissing but frantic; then eventually, gentle and tender. You never made things too obvious, "told" instead of "showed", you just wrote it and portrayed it so that we could go along for the journey and see how their love developed in how their physical intimacy developed, too. (And I mean, the fangirl in me of course swooning at the parts where it's so clear that Levi cares for her even if he doesn't 'say' it or she willingly accepts it yet.)
7. Can't wait to wait a hot minute and read this again and enjoy it from the beginning. Thank you for such a perfect Levi x Mikasa fic. I'm not sure how I will read any or more or attempt to write one myself because this is just perfect. :)

Wow! Just finished this incredible story and I have to say I'm blown away. You wrote such a thrilling tale with such great character development. I think writing characters like Levi and Mikasa has to be particularly challenging (considering they are so ruthless and can sometimes be one-dimensional), but you really accomplished it masterfully.
In my humble opinion, too often I see characters like Levi and Mikasa dissolve throughout the course of a story. Classic romance tropes often drown out character development and while there's nothing wrong with that writing, for me, it does take some of the enjoyment out of it. Not so with this piece! You really captured the essence of both characters and wound them both into a story so beautiful and heart-wrenching and so utterly believable. Applause, applause, applause!
Anyway, I'm a big fan of Halo and see that you have more stories to tell, so I can't wait to read more. (Also, I'm totally bummed about Halo 5 too. We'll see what 343 comes up with next I guess - I really just buy the games (and the highly expensive consoles that go with them) just for nostalgia now.)

Wow I tore through this in a day. It was absolutely riveting the way you wrote these characters. Their mental health issues feel so realistic and the way they keep going on is inspiring. You have done an absolutely amazing job with the way you brought them together. You have this perfect blend of description and dialogue. Their interactions are frustrating, yet heartwrenching. The way they communicate not through words but through actions. I'm so glad that Mikasa found it in herself to love again though I wish we saw more of that process. The time skip is pretty big. I also wish we got some of Levi's POV but this is Mikasa's story.
You are truly good at weaving words together. Some of the imagery you wrote is truly beautiful such as when they burned Hanji's writings.

This story was epic! I think you perfectly captured Levi and Mikasa's voice, mannerisms, inner thoughts superbly. I've shipped them from the moment I saw them both in action individually and thought they'd be perfect together. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. Once again, loved it. This was simply amazing.
