Summary
“There’s a saying that the moles on your skin are the traces of your past lives.”
Jimin trembles. He doesn’t know from what. The cold getting over his body after a long day of walking and talking, the apprehension of such a discussion, his fears coming back to taunt him, his thoughts getting agitated. There could be many reasons as to why he trembles so much, now, yet he has no answer. When he shivers, he guesses it’s because of the wind, despite the grass around them staying still, the branches staying strong, the leaves not falling. It’s the beginning of summer, Jeongguk will graduate, and the weather is good, so if Jimin trembles, it is because of himself, and nothing nor no one else.
He looks away from Jeongguk, fiddles with a flower. A daisy, small, white and purple, soon to disappear as spring has already passed.“Do you believe it?”

Summary
The idea of eternity terrifies him, for what will there be to witness once everything has died? And then he realizes, with a whimper climbing up his throat, that time will never end yet time is merciless and right now, they have no time to waste.
Seeing the universe with their own two eyes, the sun looking back at them... Is it such an abstract thought?

Summary
By the sea, the water is cold. The weather must be cold, too, as the waters seem to have fallen into a peaceful slumber and the repetitive sound of the waves hitting the shore has turned into nothing more than a dull lullaby in the background. Jimin doesn’t know what the weather is like, though, passively observing the sea behind the safety of a window.
It could be beautiful, really, but his boredom has quickly taken over the euphoric emotion such a sight could make him feel. It’s become routine, and Jimin feels nothing more than an aching and hollow loneliness as his eyes bore into the horizon.The sound of a letter awkwardly slipped under the front door might just be the perfect opportunity to break this awful monotony.

The World at the Tip of my Fingers by SlaveToGravity

Summary
With no flesh left to cut, no blood left to spill and no titan left to slaughter, the last soldiers went their separate ways. To the ocean, to the unknown, to the peace of inner cities, to the colonies now settled outside, everyone left and created a new life, one of prosperity, freedom and security.
But Mikasa only knows death, the adrenaline of a fight and the endorphin of a wound, and with nothing else to massacre, she doesn’t know what to do, what life to lead. So she wanders and wonders, running away from the populated cities, hiding deep into the woods she knows, taller than the biggest titans, trees smelling of blood and desolated corpses. There, the sun wakes but doesn’t shine past the heavy leaves. There, it’s the memories of past defeats that haunt her, but she stays. It’s familiar, it’s the known and the constant. There, she remains and there, she wants to end.“If you want to rot here like garbage, that’s fine with me. But if you want to do something with your pathetic life then move your ass Ackerman, because I have a job for you.”
But captain Levi doesn’t let her waste her life away like she would have liked to, he has other plans for her and oh, how they seem tempting from deep in the woods.

Summary
In the intimacy of their car, there’s nothing intimate. There’s a lot of yelling, a lot of running away, a lot of guilt and regret and a lot of lies, but nothing that could go by the word “intimacy”.
The closest thing to the idea of intimacy is the radio channel they choose by default, always playing stupid love songs when the situation doesn’t call for it. -

Summary
“Now we are no longer wolves. We are dogs, the servants of men. Keep alive, man! When man dies we become wolves again.”
Everyday he thinks of it. The coldest of sun, the darkest of silhouette, where no man has ever reached, and no dog has ever lived. There are only wolves, there, where the snow keeps falling and the sun is frozen. Jimin desires it, wishes for his amber skin to turn cold, for his scars to close under piles of snow. But his ankles are chained and back home, there is always the promise of food on his plate and a roof over his head, despite the pain that they bring. Still, sometimes, he wonders what it would feel like to run away and never be collared again.
"It wouldn't be running away, Jimin," he says, "it would be like finding the path that you've lost long ago."

Summary
His feet bleed as he runs through the night woods. The sharpest of branches dig mercilessly into the sole of his feet, cutting the skin messily, showing the flesh raw. And while the dead leaves caress the tender member, the rocks hurt them instead, plunging directly into the fresh cuts, drawing blood, expending the wounds, settling like parasites inside the flesh. And he would scream, were it not for the muting fear that takes over his throat. He hurries through the terrifying night, through the maze-like woods, through and through the obstacles that, without a remorse, block his way to freedom. As he runs he thinks of survival, he thinks of the gruesome death that awaits him back at the village, he thinks of red eyes and yellow teeth, sharp as razors, cutting through the skin harsher than the branches under his feet, deeper than the pebbles stuck in the abyss of his flesh.
Running far away, with only his thoughts louder than his heavy breathing, he thinks of the lover that awaits him beyond the borders of the forest.Series

Summary
The universe is vast, as unknown as it is beautiful, and Jimin, under Jeongguk's enamored gaze, wears it all in the most mesmerizing of ways.

The Sun is a Floral Dress
The Clouds are a Raincoat

Summary
Jeonguk's naked body is beautiful in all its colors. In the late afternoon everything becomes greater, more defined, contrasts marked and engraved, and Jeongguk's skin reflects the very paintings that decorate the walls, of lilacs, judas trees, hyacinths, roses and wind-blown grass. Jimin has seen him paint them all one after the other, kissing him sweetly between two strokes of a brush. He is mesmerized by Jeongguk's beauty and in him, he sees freedom. Soon, he will taste it, too.

And despite his desire to tell the whole world about Jimin, he keeps him a secret.

Summary
There’s a bitter taste on his tongue and powder stuck in his throat. When his exhausted eyes land on the sky, there’s nothing new to see and the moon looks rancid from where he stands.

Summary
There’s a certain reassuring familiarity in his job. It’s in the old ladies coming every Sunday afternoon to talk about their younger days, it’s in the drunk youngsters coming when the sun is away to tell the most cliché of ghost stories, it’s in the dirt under his fingernails and in the feeling of moss-covered stone under his fingertips.
It’s in those and more, like the dance of ancient spirits when midnight comes and the haunting voice of Jeon Jeongguk when the witching hour strikes. -

Really, she just wishes to not die with not a soul by her side.Series

Summary
“Am I ill? Is it a sickness of the mind?”
He fears her every words, the looks she throws without a care and the life she endangers every single day. Her usually lively eyes, filled with rage or concern, seem empty of life under the dying sun. They fill with salty water and despair, and the bags under her eyes suddenly seem heavier than the gears around her hips. She looks down the giant wall, towards monsters and dry lands.
“To desire death more than life itself?”
Mikasa never falls, but because everything around her does, she doesn’t have anything to hold on to.
