"Every time I look at you, I'm glad I chose both my sword and happiness. Because in doing so, I got to keep what was most precious to me, along with the means to protect it."
I just had a headcanon where Annie watches in horror as Mikasa walks into the room with a hoodie on, and Annie is all like ‘that’s my thing!’ and feels extremely threaten by it that she questions Mikasa wtf is going on, whatever happen to her scarf, and Mikasa is all like ‘I like it! It keeps me warm’ and Annie thinks that a bullshit of an answer and totally pulls on it because she wants it off her, and Mikasa won’t let her, so they wrestle each other as Annie tries stripping it off her, and Anne finally tops her and straddles her as she tries her best to pull it off and she’s all like shouting “COME OFF!’ and Mikasa sees in horror that Annie could actually rip it and lets it go and Annie is almost seen flying off with the sweater in both hands not expecting Mikasa to give up that easily, and tosses it across the room feeling like she won still straddling her and Mikasa just gives her a glare and just as quickly as it began, Mikasa pushes Annie off her making her fall on her back and Mikasa quickly makes her way inside Annie’s hoodie and she’s all like ‘WHAT THE FUCK!?’ looking down in horror as Mikasa makes her way up to her and it’s like an incredible tight fit but Mikasa manages to stick her head out of Annie’s hoodie, not caring about sliding her arms through the hoodie sleeves, she just wraps her arms around Annie’s small frame who is like fucking red at this point and Mikasa is all like ‘now you keep me warm’ as she hugs her laying down topping her.

mikasa’s eyes widen at the flash of silver on annie’s finger.
a distant memory hits her. the warmth of annie’s body against her back. arms wrap around her waist and squeeze her closer. mikasa catches annie’s scent in waves. it reminds her of flowers, but unlike any she knows of. mikasa wonders if there are actual flowers that smell like this. maybe beyond the walls…
annie’s fingers tracing her ribcage delicately sends shivers down her spine. they make their way up slowly, past her breasts, where they rest on her collarbones. she feels annie’s lips right next to her ear. i’m going to make you bleed. mikasa barely catches what was said before she sees a steady rivulet of blood flowing down from a neat horizontal cut on her left breast. just before annie pushes her down onto the bed, mikasa spots the ring on her finger - the tip of its curved hook stained with blood. it all fades away in mikasa’s mind when she cannot think of anything else but annie sucking away gently at the cut she inflicted.
mikasa recalls all of this as she pulls eren and armin down the stairs to safety.
was what we had real, annie? mikasa pushes the thought away, determined to drown out her pain through action. enough, i don’t want to think about this anymore. i’ll be the one to cut you this time.

Mikasa had often told Annie stories about wanting a pet as a child, but her both her birth and adoptive parents had such wretched allergies that animals had never been allowed. Given that Annie herself had never owned a pet in her life, it was in an attempt to make Mikasa happy after she moved into Annie’s large apartment that they went to the local animal shelter one weekend. She stood to one side as Mikasa wandered the cat area, smiling slightly at the sheer pleasure in her face.
Mikasa was enraptured by the kittens in particular, standing for minutes on end at one cage or another to let the kittens play with the strings on the end of her scarf. It was twenty minutes on that Mikasa finally stopped at one cage low and in the corner and gestured for Annie to come closer. Annie found that the kitten of choice was solid black with massive gold eyes, and it purred loudly enough that Annie could hear it at a distance.
“That one’s cute,” Annie said.
Mikasa smiled as she scratched under the kitchen’s chin. It closed its eyes in bliss and shoved its head into her hand. She said, “What should we name him?”
“Don’t they come pre-named?”
Mikasa looked at her with a raised brow. “I don’t think either of us want to call our cat ‘Bob.’”
“No.” She shrugged. “You pick.”
It was a long time that Mikasa thought, and clearly thought hard. Annie watched the intense look on her face with amusement, hands tucked in the front pocket of her hoodie. The kitten mewed at Mikasa, swiping at her scarf as she silently looked at him.
“Ailuros,” Mikasa said suddenly.
Annie stared. “What?”
“Let’s call him Ailuros.”
“How did you come up with that?”
“Armin loaned me a book once about the relationship the Greeks and the Egyptians had, and the Greek word for ‘cat’ is ‘ailuros.’”
Annie snickered. “Okay, I like it. I’d call him that.”
“Should we adopt him?”
“You like him, right?”
“I really do.
“Then we should get him.” She went to fetch a shelter volunteer so Mikasa could continue playing with the kitten. A few minutes later, they were filling out paperwork and purchasing a license. They went on to a pet store, and Annie carried Ailuros around in his cardboard carrier while Mikasa filled a cart with everything the volunteer had said they would need. They hurried home with the carrier in Mikasa’s lap while Annie drove, and they sequestered themselves in the bedroom.
Ailuros jumped out of the carrier immediately when Mikasa popped it open, looking around with a wide-eyed, confused stare. He cried briefly at Mikasa, going to her and crawling into her lap. He perched himself on her knee and looked around again, starting to sniff the air. She stroked his back until he tentatively got down from her knee and started to make a circuit around the room.
Annie stood up and took the water fountain into the bath off the bedroom, reading the instructions as Mikasa followed Ailuros around the room. She set up the fountain on a plastic mat, setting out a dish of dry food as well. By then, Ailuros had made his way around the room, and he startled at Annie coming out of the bathroom with a large cup of water. He hissed at her, puffing up his fur. Annie raised a brow at him, and he shuffled backward until he came close to Mikasa.
“I think you just surprised him,” said Mikasa.
“I think he hates me,” said Annie.
Though Mikasa protested, Annie felt she was right as the days passed and Ailuros continued to hiss and puff up into a ball on seeing her. She did not go out of her way to endear herself to him, only feeding him at mealtimes and filling his water because it would be cruel to not do so.
Any attempt to give each other a wide berth was ruined by the fact that they both gravitated to Mikasa. If Ailuros jumped up on the couch during a movie, he yowled at the sight of Annie curled up against Mikasa’s side. If Annie sought to join Mikasa on the bed for a nap on the weekend, she had to check for where Ailuros had stretched out against Mikasa lest she be hissed at.
Given that she and Mikasa worked similar hours, Annie was never left alone with Ailuros for too long. After a time, she fell into the habit of hanging back at the door when they came in to let Ailuros see Mikasa first. He waited at the door for her, after all, and he jumped straight onto her shoulder when she crouched down for him. Weeks on, Annie found herself smiling when Mikasa slowly stood up with Ailuros balancing on her shoulder, and he did not hiss at her when he noticed her.
It happened some time in the winter, three months later. It had been a grueling week for Annie, and she gladly took the opportunity to fall upon the couch when they returned home from errands and drop dead asleep. When she woke again, the room was dark with lowered blinds, and quiet with Mikasa sitting reading in the armchair. Because she felt a weight down her front, she lifted her head and looked down.
Ailuros was stretched full out on the length of her torso, completely asleep and looking blissful. Annie tilted her head to look at Mikasa. “Did you put him on me?”
To answer, Mikasa picked up her phone from the coffee table and started a video she had taken. Annie watched her sleeping self and Ailuros sitting by the couch staring up at her. He turned toward the camera and mewled. Mikasa said, “Go ahead,” and he hopped up onto the couch. He slowly sat down, sniffing Annie’s chin before sinking down to his stomach. The video ended with the sound of Mikasa giggling and the image shaking slightly.
“He sat there crying for a while before I got my phone and told him to jump,” said Mikasa.
“Why didn’t you just put him in your lap?”
“I tried to get him to come to me, but he wanted to be on you.”
Annie held down the urge to sigh because she thought it would wake him. Lightly, she scratched his head. He began to purr in his sleep. Annie smiled, and her smile deepened when Mikasa leaned down to kiss her.

imagine if mikasa’s 3dmg fails her as her feet gently lifts off annie and she gasps in surprise and starts falling through the air fast. annie, despite being swamped with overwhelming emotions about her failure as a warrior and the crushed prospect of returning to her father (anytime soon), reaches her fingerless hands out and cradles mikasa with her palms and absorbs the fall.
when they land, mikasa leaps away instinctively (like she did before in an earlier episode when she reacted as a titan tried to kill her even though she thought she had given up) faster than she can register what just happened as she watches eren’s titan go berserk on annie and rip off her head and limbs.
when the realization that annie saved her finally sets in, mikasa is the first to pound away at the crystal with her blades hoping to be able to break it away slowly to reach annie but it is futile. it is then that mikasa realizes how powerless she can be despite her strength and skills. there is still that one person she cannot save.
whenever hanji checks on annie, she notices that there are mountains of crumbs gathered around the base of the crystal. one time, as she makes her way towards the area, she hears the repeated soft pounding of an object against the crystal and someone whispering “たべて [tabete]” (which means “eat”). curious, she peeps in and sees that it is mikasa knocking away at the crystal with a piece of bread. with each knock, the bread disintegrates and crumbs gather on the floor. hanji notices that there is a small basket of bread next to mikasa. the mystery of the crumbs solved, hanji decides not to intrude and takes her leave silently while wondering how often mikasa spends time down there.
eventually, the crumbs stop appearing at the base of the crystal. winter comes, and one fine day, as hanji does her daily crystal check, she is surprised to see a long, green wool scarf messily wrapped at least five times around the upper-mid section of the crystal. hanji looks closely and sees that the bottom half of annie’s face has been hidden by the scarf.
the scarf looks familiar, hanji thinks to herself. it looks to be of the same material as the red scarf mikasa always wears. hanji ponders about the relationship that the two girls share. it may have been her imagination; she could have sworn that annie’s lips were not subtly curved in a smile when she was crystallized… but it was now.

I always had this headcanon where Mikasa doesn’t even know who is inside the Female Titan, and once they capture her and pull the person outside, Mikasa just fucking loses it and all of a sudden turns against everyone. She goes on FULL protective mode on her, and doesn’t give a flying fuck about what she did. And Eren tries his best to convince her who she is, and that she’s a bad person for what she did, and Mikasa totally knocks him out because she just won’t have it. She just refuses to believe any of that, and even if it was true, she doesn’t give a fuck about it. And Eren is all like ‘why do you protect her so much!?’ and Mikasa is all like ‘She needs me! You don’t. You reject me. She won’t.’
And then Annie hears all of this and is just so fucking shocked by it all that she quickly transforms again and takes Mikasa with her, and the team follows, but Mikasa just makes it difficult for any of them to get near them and it becomes this crazy all-out battle between Annie, Mikasa versus everyone. And Mikasa is all like ‘I won’t let them hurt you Annie!’ And Eren tries to follow her and reason with her and she’s all like “Annie is mine!’ and shit, and then Levi goes hand to hand against Mikasa but fails miserably due to his injury, and everyone just falls back letting them be for now knowing they’re no match against the duo. AND THAT WOULD BE THE BEST FUKING LOVE STORY EVER.
