Strangers (Part.1)
Reiner Braun x fem!Reader
Season 3 Spoilers and Season 4 light spoilers You and Reiner use to be a couple until you found out he was the Armored Titan…
Time line is going to be ever so slightly altered for the next part.
Third Person Pov
"How could you Reiner?" You cried out to him trying to keep yourself balanced on the tree branch below him.
"What do mean, if you're talking about why I took you, it's simple. I love you and I just couldn't leave you to die along side these devils." Reiner spat in disgust as his eyes lingered on your shaky from below.
"Devils, how could you ever think we are devils?" You questioned him
"I'll tell you more when we get back to my home town. It will all make sense when we are there." He answered you looking hopeful
"You assholes are gonna pay, you hear me!" Eren screamed from behind you waving his severed hand like he was going to punch Reiner.
"Shut it you two, it's not like we can do anything right now anyway. See those titans down there?" Ymir questioned as you looked down to see dozens of titans looking up twords you. "Even if we could, we'd have no chance of escaping. Plus Y/n isn't one of us so she'd die easily especially sense you ain't got your ODM gear." She soke sounding rather disinterested.
"Ymir is right, we'll leave at nightfall when the titans are sleeping." Reiner spoke scanning the three of you. Ymir started talking to them, but you blocked out her words trying to focus on calming down and not losing you head. You picked up on a few words an phrase in particular caught your attention.
"We'll get Christa and then we'll go, I can't leave her here!" Ymir pleated which caused your anger to spike.
"Ymir what the hell!" You shouted walking towards her as her limbs grew back.
"What, I have nothing here except Christa and Reiner and Bertholdt have a future. This place will be dead soon any way, don't you want to live!" She screamed at you walking closer
"Calm down you two! Y/n hear me out." Reiner pleaded jumping down from the tree branch he was standing on. "Y/n please, everyone here will die and the last thing I want is for you to die with them. My hometown is special and there are so many things that I want to show you. Sights that you'll never be able to see, I can show them to you. Please let me take care of you in a place I know you'll be safe. I love you." Reiner declaired with pleating soft eyes that would normally make your heart melt.
"I'd rather die here with them than live a lie with you." You spat as frustrated tears began to form in your eyes. Depsite the fact that you loved him too and the very idea of departing with him shatters your soul.
"Go to hell!" Eren screamed jumping at Reiner hitting him across the face multiple times until finally Reiener hit him so hard that it knocked him out cold. Reiner began panting looking at you silelently telling you to follow him.
"Reiner look, it's the scouts!" Bertholdt yelled in in desperation gaining Reiner's full attention.
"Shit, looks like commander Erwin is a lot smarter than I thought." Reiner yelled jumping down twords you. "Get on my back sweet heart we need to go." He asked you holding out his hand. Part of you would like nothing more than to hold his hand and feel his body against yours. Except now he had betrayed you and your friends and there was no way in hell that you were going to let him take you, Eren, or Christa. So you took a page out of Eren's book and punched Reiner too. You were a lot better than Eren at hand-to-hand combat and this was the only thing you could think of. His nose began to bleed heavily and despite his best efforts, he was not as fast as you. You hit him anywhere you could thinking that if the fight lasted long enough the Scouts could get to you faster. However, your actions came to a painful halt as Bertholdt punched you in the back of the head knocking you out cold, just like Eren.
Reiner grabbed your unconcious body and securly held you to him with as much gentelness as he could. He hated seeing you so hurt and broken and vowed that no matter what he'd do whatever he could to make up for all of the mental strain he put on you, after all, he did love you. After some time flying through the forest, he turned into his titan form after handing you over to Bertholdt. He jumped down as Bertholdt and Ymir, who also assumed titan form, landed on his back after she went serching for Christa. Ymir then took her from her mouth causing Christa to cough.
Reiner ran as fast as he could trying to outrun the scouts, but they were too late. Commander Eriwn, along with a massive horde of titans, scouts, and MP's were coming twords them. All Reiner could do was brace for impact as he protected you, Eren, and Berthold underneath his armored hands and pray that Ymir was holding onto him tight as he smashed his way through the titans. And as scout by scout and titan by titan came at him trying to get you and Eren. Despite their best efforts, the scouts took you, Eren, and Christa back and Reiner had lost you and the coordinate. All he could do now is protect Berthold from the titans trying to eat them as he watched you being taken away from him on the back of Erwin Smith's horse.
Operation To Retake Wall Maria…
“You’re not going cadet.” Captain Levi commanded as you were getting ready to join your friends to retake wall Maria.
“Forgive me sir, but why the hell not?” You questioned him with clear anger.
“Calm down, Commander Erwin thinks you’ll be a liability. We already know that Reiner and Bertholdt wanted to take you back home with them. So it’s safe to say that they’ll try again. We simply can’t have that.” Levi reasoned
“Wouldn’t I be useful then, Sir?” You yelled still angry and confused at the situation.
“No, no offense to your skill but Erwin said so. That’s final cadet I don’t want to hear anything else about it.” He spat walking away from you because he didn’t want to continue arguing with you.
You were so furious at the commander but you knew deep down that he was right. That you would confront Reiner despite saying otherwise because what he did to you was unforgivable and you needed to know why. You desperately needed to know why Reiner was a Titan and what the hell he meant by “home town.” You needed answers and you only prayed that the scouts would be victorious so that you could receive some.
A few days later…
The scouts came back as they reetook Wall Maria. However, the casualties made it seem like thee was no win whatsoever despite the people of the walls rejoicing. Especially the people of Wall Maria as they would now be able to go home, including you.
The commander had died which made Hanji the new commander of the Scout Regiment. You were shocked to say the least, but you were glad that your friends survived. You asked Captain Levi about Reiner and Bertholdt and he told you what happened to them. Hearing that Armin nearly died and it was between him or the commander as to who would be come a Titan brought tears to your eyes. It was such a cruel choice and one that should have never have happened. Both should and deserved to live in your mind. Yet you remembered that this world is cruel and unfair. However, now with this victory the Scouts would now be able to venture further outside the walls than they ever have. You were excited to see the ocean and potentially see the world beyond. Little did you know about the dangers and hatred lurking not too far from your island home…
Three years later…
Three years without him. Three years of resenting him and hating him. Long nights filled with cries and nightmares from that day. Reiner was your rock and someone you always thought you could rely on. A lot of people throughout those three years thought that you were somehow a Marley spy, but that was soon forgotten as Hange made a public announcement about it. You needed answers for everything but more than anything you just wanted to see him, talk to him, and hold him. Because above all else, you still loved him.
You were now a high ranking official in the Scout Regiment. Your intelligence and experience helped you land the position. Especially with the recent developments with other countries. You had helped Hange and other become more diplomatic. While maintaining the idea that your island is still dangerous.
Now here you were on a boat, disguised as a tourist with a few friends and other me members of the regiment. You were tasked on getting intel on Marley. And so here you were feeling the wind blow your hair as the salty sea air filled your lungs. You felt peaceful despite the aching feeling in your heart. As Marley was Reiner’s homeland and there was a small chance that you would see him and that terrified you. You tried preparing yourself for it even taking to the commander on what to do if you should see him. But no amount of preparation could ever prepare you for the experience that lies ahead…

Thanks so much for reading💜 I apologize if the first part isn’t the best. I have better plans for the second one. Including flashbacks and more angst.

Strangers (Part.2)
Reiner Braun xfem!reader
Three years later and you finally meet him again. But this time as strangers. Will you reconcile?
Angst, mentions of trauma and death. Reiner has low self worth. Talk of suicide, blood, and violence. Fluff, happy ending…
Reiner’s Pov
It’s been three years to the day since the day I lost her. Every moment I’ve spent has been filled with memories of her. Her scent, touch, and voice fill me with sadness and regret. I need to see her, but she’s so far from me now. The future is so unpredictable now and war has been upon Marley for some time. I wonder what’s she’s doing. What she looks like now and how beautiful she’s gotten.
I stared at the sea, the very one that separates us. Wishing she were here to see what I see. Wishing I were holding her hand here, making her laugh, telling her jokes. But I’m not, and she’s not here. I’m scared I’ll never be able to see her again or hear her sweet voice calling my name.
“Damn it all.” I sighed breathing in the salty sea air. I was trying not to think of her anymore as I could feel tears beginning creep.
I began walking along the docs admiring the markets and people around me. I had no where in particular to go as it was my day off, which was rare. There were so many people out today and I found myself accidentally bumping into a few. My head was fuzzy as I tried to push my emotions back once more. I wasn’t looking where I was going this time and bumped into someone and made them fall to the ground. My thoughts came back to me and I focused on the person I accidentally shoved.
“I’m so sorry are you okay.” I said frantically not looking at their face still. I grabbed their hand as I pulled them up. I locked eyes with them and suddenly the whole world stopped. The very air from my lungs had left me and the tears that I was trying so desperately to hold back were starting to fall. As the very person I have needed, loved, and desired was right in front of me and I had just bumped into her.
“Y/n…”
Your pov
One hour earlier…
We finally docked onto Marley dressed as ordinary people because if even one person caught wind that there were enemies on this island, then all hell would break loose. Truthfully, the only reason we were here was to see the other side of the sea. For me, I came to see him. I needed to, my whole body craved it. I hate him, at least I think I do. I love him, but I know that I shouldn’t. Or should I?
Once we left the boat, we were each given time to explore. Levi instructed us to all meet by the woods by sundown as that’s where we’d be staying. He also suggested to go in pairs, but I was on a mission, one more important than anything else. I needed answers and I needed them from him. One hour later I somehow made it to a market filled with people and things I’d never seen before.
“Damn it all.” I sighed walking through a large crowd.
Despite my mission, I was simply awestruck by these people. Many of different faces than I had seen on my island. They were beautiful and it felt nice seeing so many happy people together. I thought about him walking through these very streets. Had he come here often? Was he even interested in markets? What was he doing now? All of those thought plagued my mine and made me feel hazy. Something shiny caught my eye and I turned to look at it from a distance. However, much to my bad luck, I wasn’t paying attention and got thrown off my feet by what felt like a ox.
“Ouch.” I whispered feeling the wind leaving my lungs slightly.
“I’m so sorry are you okay?” The rather familiar voice spoke out in concern.
And just as I was about to respond the figure grabbed my hand and began pulling me to my feet. Once I was balanced, I looked up. Shock waves shot through my body as the very persons I had sought out was right in front of me. The person I loved more than anything was right in front of me more handsome than he was when I lost him…
“Reiner?”
Reiner pov
“Y/n.” I whispered. “Are you real?” I asked not truly believing the breathtaking sight in front of me.
“I hope so.” She responded giving me a smile.
“Hi.” I said awkwardly 
“Hi.” She whispered
“How… how are you?” I asked her after a few moments of simply staring at the woman I loved.
“Relieved.” She replied as a year left her eye.
“Me too.” I admitted. “Y/n, you’re so beautiful.” I whispered breathlessly losing myself in her magical eyes.
“Thank you.” She whimpered as more tears left her.
“Here, please.” I told her as I reached into my coat pocket, taking out a clean handkerchief and handing it to her. As I did, our hands brushed slightly making me let go of a breath that I didn’t even realize I was holding.
“Oh thank you.” She said quickly as she wiped her tears.
“Wanna go somewhere more private?” I asked her hoping she’d say yes.
“Yeah, as long as you don’t try anything mister.” Y/n joked chuckling a bit as I laughed too.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you.” I joked back.
“I hope so.” She spoke in a hushed whisper and I could tell she meant to say that to herself so I didn’t respond back.
“I have a good spot on the beach that should be pretty private.” I told her.
“Do you take all of your girls there?” She joked nudging my shoulder slightly. I missed this. I missed her. I just hope that I can find the perfect words to say to her.
“Nah, just you.” I replied seriously looking at her for a moment as we walked side my side to the beach.
“Good.” She smiled
After a few moments of walking and small talk, we made it to my spot. I helped her down to this small cave that most locals didn’t bother going to as it wasn’t as exciting as the rest of Marley. It was a peaceful little cave that was about 6 feet wide and 10 feet long. At the very end of it, you could see the water rising and falling. The sounds of the waves crashing echoed through the spot making a private conversation possible.
“It’s beautiful here. Good spot there Reiner.” She complimented looking around the sea cave. “As beautiful as it is, I need to speak to you about not so pretty things. But I think you know that.” She told me seriously looking straight into my eyes.
“I agree. What do you want to speak about. I promise to tell you anything you’d like to know.” I reassured her.
“Who are you?” She asked simply.
No one’s pov
“My name is Reiner Braun. I’m a warrior of Marley and I’m the holder of the armored titan.” Reiner replied seriously as he stood to the wall of the cave.
“Is see. Who else are you?” You questioned him trying to assess him.
Reiner stilled for a moment trying to decipher the right words to say and what you meant in that very moment.
‘Who am I?’ Reiner thought to himself
The two of you sat in silence for what felt like an eternity, but was really just a few minutes. Reiner had forced himself into an internal conflict with himself at your question. He hasn’t really given who he really was much thought for a long time. He thought he knew, he thought that after the battle at Wall Maria, that he knew who he was. However, with you standing right in front of him after so many years apart, he began questioning everything once again. He took a deep breath letting the salty sea air fill his lungs. He then looked into your eyes giving you a pained, but loving look as the words he needed finally came to him.
“Y/n… I’m not just Reiner Braun, Warrior of Marley. I’m also…” Reiner paused for a moment. “I’m also a man so desperately and completely still and utterly in love with the woman who stands in front of me. And with everything that I have and everything that I am. I’m so sorry for everything that I put you through on your island. For every death, every shitty memory you have because of me, for all of the people I’ve hurt. All I want is to die because of it I know I deserve to suffer for all f the shit I pot you and everyone else through. But I’m not sorry for falling in love with you. For wanting to be with you and for all of the years that I’ve spent missing you.” Reiner admitted as he began sobbing at all of the memories that he had.
“Reiner…” you sighed fresh tears beginning to spill. You couldn’t think of what to say as the confession that you wanted to hear but weren’t sure you are going to receive was just announced by him.
All you could do in that very moment was warp yourself around him. All you could think was to hold him. Your anger was overlooked my your intense love for this man, for Reiner Braun. You held him so tightly against you not wanting to let him slip away once again. You felt him stiffen slightly but hold you just as tightly. You felt him nuzzle into your hair.
“Oh Y/n, baby, I’m so sorry. I love you.” He spoke desperately feeling free that he was able to tell you the words he’s been waiting years to finally say once more.
“I missed you.” You admitted feeling anxious about saying it back but knowing you needed to. You turned your head up looking into his honey colored eyes and finally spoke the words that you were needing to say. “I love you too. I never stopped.” You told him still holding onto his muscular body.
“Good.” He whispered giving your forehead a affectionate kiss.
“You really hurt me though Reiner and despite the years apart, I’m still hurt.” You said feeling the pain you had felt for the last three years come back however a little less this time.
“I know, and I understand if it will take you time. Just know that I’ll wait as long as you want because you’re worth everything y/n.” Reiner says holding you against him once more.
“Thank you, I think I might have to go soon. But please let me stay here for a little while longer.” You pleated.
“Darling, you can stay here until time itself comes to an end.” Reiner spoke seriously
“Good, because I never want this feeling to end. And I promise you will see me again.” You said kissing his chest.
“I’m looking forward to it, Y/n…”

Thank you so much for reading💜This is the last part of this. Although I might and a prequel to this short series about how these two met and how they feel in love.

My Home

“Yknow, my village isn’t that far from here.. I could sneak out if I try.” Connie muttered boredly.
”My hometown is close too..” Sasha mumbled as her hand rested on her face. “They told me not to come back until I was normal.”
”They told me I was too puny to become one. Look at me now, I was in the top ten at the Training Corps. Takes a genius to become one.” Connie said.
”What about you Y/N? You’re from a village around here.” Bertolt asked as he kept looking at Y/N and at the chess board.
”Well, my parents passed away after my brother was born so it’s really just us two and a few others from my village.” Y/N explained.
”Oh.. im sorry to hear that Y/N. Sorry.” Bertolt stuttered embarrassed.
”It’s alright, I miss them at times but my brother doesn’t remember them. I had to step in for him but ever since I left for the military, the others have been taking care of him.” Y/N said.
”If you want Y/N, Connie. I can help you guys sneak out. Don’t you find it strange that we’ve been out on standby but we’re not even allowed our gear? We can use that time to leave.” Reiner said as he moved his chess piece.
Suddenly the whole scene unfolded as Sasha claimed to have heard footsteps, to which Nanaba came through the window to rush the cadets out and onto horses.
”The Titans came from roughly the SouthEast, anyone know that terrain?” A captain asked.
”That’s where my village is, please can we go there.?! I have to see if my village is safe, please!” Y/N pleaded. Watching the Captain hesitantly nod, Y/N and Reiner rode off, Bertolt following after them.
Reaching the village, Y/N looked around and saw not a single person wandering around.
”Caspian!” Y/N exclaimed as she rushed over to her old house. “Please be alive, please.”
Reaching the house, Y/N halted in her tracks as a Titan lay flat on its stomach and stared at her whilst crushing the house underneath it.
”Y/N, stay back!” Reiner yelled as he grabbed onto her. “You’re gonna get yourself killed! Imagine if that Titan could move, I would’ve lost you.”
”Reiner..” Y/N mumbled before tears fell from her cheeks and onto the ground as she turned to face him, his eyes widening at the sight of her.
”Y-Y/N.. did I grab you too hard? I’m sorry-“ Reiner said.
”Reiner what am I going to do? My brothers gone and so is the rest of my village!” Y/N sobbed out as she gripped onto his arms.
”H-hold on now. They could’ve survived, there’s no sight of blood or corpses so they could’ve escaped!” Reiner said reassuringly as he rubbed her back and pulled her into his chest.
“Really.?” Y/N asked as she sniffled and rubbed her eyes.
”Of course-“ Reiner began to say.
”Big…… si…ste….r.” A voice grumbled from behind. Turning to look behind, the same titan’s mouth was open and its eyes followed Y/N.
”Reiner, why is the Titan speaking.?” Y/N asked as she let go of him to turn and look at the Titan.
”W-what are you talking about Y/N? No ones said anything!” Reiner said.
”N-no.. it sounded so much like someone that I know. Reiner it really spoke! I could hear-“ Y/N began to frantically say.
”Y/N!” Reiner exclaimed as he gripped her shoulders and made him face her. “You’re too stressed out right now, you’re going hysterical.”
Suddenly Bertolt arrived and gathered their horses, informing them of no sighting of corpses or blood.
”See? No blood means they escaped.” Reiner calmly explained as he helped Y/N get onto her horse. They quickly rode off to meet with the others, Reiner and Bertolt talking amongst themselves.
”We can’t hide it from her for long, she’ll find out at some point.” Bertolt mumbled.
”I’m not having her live in fear for her whole life Bertolt. I’m keeping this a secret, she’ll come home with us. No, I still have to marry her, we’ll have a happy life together with children just how I always dreamed of-“
”Reiner.” Bertolt interrupted as the blonde turned to look at him. “You and I don’t have enough time left. We can get this mission done with and leave these Island Devils whilst taking Y/N and Eren.”
”Yeah.. we can do that.” Reiner said as he stared at the back of Y/N’s head.
Long Distance Lovers

Reiner Braun x Female Reader
Sweat. That’s what Porco felt trickling his forehead and down his back as he shot up and sat against the bed frame. Rays of sunlight lit the room as he put on his shoes and walked to the warriors kitchen to see Reiner standing in front of the sink.
‘Great. This is probably the last person I want to see as of right now. Especially after that memory.’ Porco thought as opened the pantry.
“Morning.” Reiner said as he closed the tap and dried his hands.
“Hey.” Porco mumbled back as he pulled out snack bars, trying his best not to make eye contact. The two awkwardly sat at the table, waiting for others to arrive so they could start eating.
“You’re only gonna eat that?” Reiner asked, attempting to break the tension.
“Thanks for asking, shouldn’t you be worrying about your Devil Girlfriend.” Porco said mockingly as Reiner froze in his spot.
“I.. I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Reiner replied as he kept a his head down.
“Cut the shit, Reiner! I should’ve known you’d betray Marley once you’d get to that Island.” Porco yelled aggressively. “I saw everything in that bitches memory. Filthy Devils the reason we live like this-“
Suddenly, Porco was being lifted into air as Reiner gripped his collar. Anger was clearly evident on Reiners face as his features stiffened.
“Now you listen here you, bastard. I allowed it the first time but if you call her a devil again, so help me I’ll rip out your vocal cords until you can’t regenerate anymore.” Reiner threatened quietly. “That woman was probably the best thing that appeared in my life and I don’t care if she was born on that Island, she’ll always be an angel compared to the rest of this shitty world.”
Porco breathed heavily as they maintained eye contact before Reiners eyes widened and suddenly dropped Porco gently so he’d stand nicely.
“Sorry.” Reiner said as he held his head in one hand.
“Tch. You’re crazy you are. Falling in love like that.” Porco mumbled as they sat back down.
“I don’t care if you tell the officals.” Reiner mumbled as he looked up at Porco. “If anything it’s the last thing I care about now-“
“Relax asshole. I’m not gonna have them pass down the armoured titan because of.. that.” Porco interrupted as he reassured the blonde. “Let’s just keep this between us.”
“Yeah.” Reiner replied. “Did you by any chance hear what we said?” Porco scoffed at his question as he leaned back and crossed his arm over his chest.
“Yeah, you damn hopeless romantic.” Porco mumbled before speaking up. “From what I saw, you gave her a rose before embracing her.” It stayed silent for a good few seconds before Reiner smiled and chuckled at the response.
“I remember that. That rose must’ve been thrown out after I revealed myself.” Reiner mumbled as Porco nodded silently. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away on Paradis, Armin sat next to a flustered (h/c) girl as he looked at her in shock.
“I didn’t expect you to see those memories, Armin.” Y/N mumbled embarrassed of what he saw. “I think Bertolt was the only guy who knew about me and Reiner.”
“Y-yeah.” Armin said, not wanting to reveal Ymir being present in the memory.
“What exactly did you see, Armin?” Y/N asked nervously as she looked up at him. “What memory did you see?”
“It was when he gave you a rose and uhh… showed you his love your physical touch.” Armin answered embarrassed as he recalled the hug and kiss in the memory.
“I remember that.” Y/N chuckled as she got up and walked to the window. “You dont mind if we keep this between us, right?”
“O-of course Y/N! I came to you first since I just thought I’d let you know.. I don’t know if it was right though. I feel like it’s made you uncomfortable with me.” Armin said.
“I’m not uncomfortable with you, Armin. It just caught me off guard.” Y/N reassured. “If anything I’m glad you came to me first.” Opening the window, Y/N grabbed a watering can and tipped it to put over the plants attached to the window. “If anything I feel bad that you kept it to yourself for a while.”
“I didn’t even realise you had flowers out near the window.” Armin mumbled as he got up and walked over to see a lot of roses.
“I’ve been growing them for 4 years.” Y/N said as a smile grew on her face before pointing at the biggest one in the middle. “That one. That one means the most to me.”
“Is it..?” Armin asked with yet another shocked look as Y/N nodded.
“That’s the same one that handsome idiot gave me.” Y/N said as she stared at the blooming flowers.

reiner braun x reader
angst, part two of this

when you woke up, you had a killer headache. moaning, you grabbed at your head wishing the pain would just stop. you opened your eyes to see what the hell was happening, but you quickly gasped and scuttled away when you saw who you were sitting next to.
“woah, woah, easy,” reiner’s voice caused panic to swell in your chest. letting out a scream, you swung in his direction and jumped back.
“get away from me!” you yelled out, your fearful eyes locking with reiner’s.
those eyes, those damn eyes that once brought you to your knees now filled you with utter terror. those eyes that you once could never get enough of now belong to a murderer.
“y-y/n,” reiner’s face flashed with hurt as he reached out for you. “y/n, baby it’s just me.”
“no!” you recoiled from his grasp as tears filled your eyes. “no, no, no! you’re a monster! g-get away from me!”
you tried to scramble back but your back ended up hitting a tree. it was then that you noticed exactly where you were, a yelp escaping your lips as you noticed eren and ymir with you, titan’s scratching at the trees below you.
“eren! ymir!” you yelled out for your comrades, seeing as they were on another tree. eren’s arms were cut off and so were ymir’s.
eren offered you a weak nod while ymir said nothing.
“what did you do to them?!” you shouted at reiner.
“don’t worry, they’ll heal,” bertholdt told you. he was standing a good distance away from you, reiner having been the closest.
“y/n—”
“shut the fuck up,” you found yourself staring at him with hatred in your eyes, even though you felt quite the opposite. on the inside, your heart was hurting. scratch that, it was burning and it was burning for reiner. your body had become so accustomed to his touch that you were aching for it, but you couldn’t. because he wasn’t your reiner anymore.
“you don’t get to speak after everything you’ve done,” you snapped, pain in your voice.
“baby please,” a frown tugged at his lips, “please, let me explain.”
“oh boy, here we go again,” ymir rolled her eyes.
“get away from them!” eren shouted out, his glare intense on reiner. but in his state, he couldn’t exactly do anything.
“i said shut up!” you growled again, flinching as reiner leaned closer to hold your face.
you couldn’t help it— you immediately began to melt. his touch was your weakness, after all. it always had been. it sent electric shocks through your body and reiner knew you had felt it.
he was gentle, just like he had always been.
“baby...”
“don’t touch me!” you cried out, smacking his hand away. “don’t you fucking dare!”
“please, y/n, you have to understand!” he pleaded. his eyes were sad, begging you to listen. “everything i did, that was before you. and everything i’m doing now, it’s for you.”
you would have scoffed if you weren’t so heartbroken in the moment. everything inside of you wanted to reach out to reiner. you wanted to be in arms, you wanted for him to hold you and comfort you and explain all of this confusing stuff to you.
you wanted him, even after everything you saw. and that absolutely disgusted you.
“please,” a tear slipped down your cheek as you looked helplessly at eren. “just let me go. let us go, we won’t tell the others where you are. you can let us go, reiner. you can turn yourself in and end...whatever this is!”
“i can’t,” reiner turned away as he gritted his teeth. “i wish i could baby, but i can’t.”
“stop calling me that!” you broke down, pain coursing through your veins at the nickname.
baby.
reiner had called you that during your first date.
baby.
reiner had called you that when he held you in his arms, peppering soft kisses on your face while telling you how much he loved you.
baby.
reiner called you that when he made love to you, whispering how good you felt around him.
your fists clenched. “you lost the right to call me that the minute you revealed your true self to me. you’re a murder, reiner braun! do you hear me?!”
you could tell that your words were hurting him, like a knife digging deeper and deeper. he looked utterly heartbroken as he heard you speak but oddly, it brought you satisfaction.
by the way he had shattered your heart it was only fair he felt the way you were feeling right now.
“you killed my family,” you continued, “terrorized my friends! you sat there and listened to me cry about them when it was you the entire time!”
“i’m sorry,” reiner looked away, tears filling his eyes but you weren’t listening.
“you held me when i had nightmares from that day and whispered how much you understood! you stood by while our friends were killed by the titan’s you let in! you made love to me, reiner, you were my first! you were my everything goddammit and you...it was all a lie!”
finally, your voice broke and you leaned back against the tree, sobs raking your body.
everything inside of you began to shut down, and you just couldn’t take it anymore. how could you after you just learned the man you had loved for three years was a traitor?
“y/n—” reiner tried to reach for you but you were unavailable. “i love you, you have to believe me. nothing i told you was a lie!”
“won’t you just shut up already?!” eren’s voice cut the atmosphere like a knife. “can’t you see that you’ve done enough damage? for three years you’ve strung y/n on and lied to them, why can’t you just stop?”
“because you don’t understand!” reiner suddenly yelled, causing you to flinch back. “i...we don’t have a choice! we have to do this!”
“no you don’t,” you whispered brokenly, letting out another sob. “reiner, please.”
“i’m sorry baby,” he sunk down and held his head in his hands. “i-i wish there was something i could do...if i wasn’t such a coward...”
a stray tear ran down his face and you hated yourself for getting the urge to wipe it away.
“reiner,” bertholdt’s voice caused the blonde to look up with pain behind his eyes. “i know this is sad for you but you’ve got pull it together. someone’s coming!”
at this, all four of you strained your necks to see what he was talking about. peering around reiner’s tall frame, hope flooded your veins as you saw green smoke.
“the scouts,” you whispered, your eyes widening. “the scouts are coming!”
you could have laughed in that moment. even though you knew they weren’t necessarily coming for you, you were still going to be rescued.
“shit,” reiner and bertholdt became frantic bad the sounds hooves echoed closer. “we gotta leave — they’ll be here soon.”
“no!” ymir was the one to protest. “i’m not leaving without christa! we had a deal, braun!”
“w-what?” you stared at ymir with betrayal. she had made a deal with them?
“there’s no time,” reiner snapped, ignoring her request. “we have to go before they get here and take eren and y/n from us!”
“what do you want from me?!” eren yelled angrily, thrashing around.
“what we want is for you to come with us — no resisting. can you do that?” reiner grunted, strapping on his ODM gear.
your eyes widened in fear. “no! no reiner you can’t leave!” you involuntarily blurted out.
this caused reiner to pause, hope filling his eyes.
“i-i mean,” you were quick to cover yourself, “you can’t take me with you! it’s not fair! i won’t — please, don’t make me!”
“i have no choice,” reiner frowned, bending to your level with sad eyes.
“you do,” you spit out, rapidly nodding your head. “you do reiner, please. eren was right — don’t you think you’ve done enough?”
“y/n you don’t understand,” he shook his head. “i can’t lose you baby. you’re the one thing that’s kept me sane. i have to...there’s no other way.”
he reached over to grasp you in his arms and it was then that you realized you weren’t even tied down in the first place. you had been completely free the entire time. so why — why did you not try to run? why did you not try harder to escape, when freedom was right there?
“baby, please,” you locked eyes with reiner. “please don’t do this.”
you knew he was on the verge of collapsing as you reciprocated the nickname. your voice was so soft, so small that reiner actually feel to his knees.
“there’s always a choice,” you reminded him, delicately placing your shaking hand on his cheek. “and if you love me, if you truly love me then please, reiner. leave me here.”
reiner eagerly grabbed at your hand, desperate for your touch. his large palm overlapped yours and he savored the feeling of your skin on his.
“i’m sorry,” his voice broke as he shook his head and took out a small dart. “i love you, baby. so much,” he promised.
“that’s why i have to do this,” he whispered, and then your world went black.

when you woke up again, you found yourself staring at the familiar patterns on your ceiling.
confused, you sat up, the last memories of reiner lingering on your mind.
“hey,” a gentle voice caused you to jump slightly, but you calmed down once you noticed that it was only armin.
he looked a little worse for wear, his blonde hair messy and his blue eyes swimming with emotions. but hey — at least he was alive. and so were you apparently.
“armin,” you groaned out, your throat raspy from being knocked out. “what happened?”
you remembered reiner’s eyes and his face contorted in pain. that was the last sight you saw before everything went black, and apparently a lot had happened since then.
“we found you in a tree when we went to rescue eren,” armin explained, fiddling with his fingers. “eren said that reiner left you there before he and the others ran away.”
“what—”
you remembered your conversation with him.
“if you truly love me then please, reiner. leave me here.”
you let out a gasp. against your will, more tears began to fill your eyes. pretty soon, you found yourself sobbing again while armin gently held you in his arms.
“hey, hey,” he frowned as he heard you call out reiner’s name, “he’s gone, okay? he left with bertholdt and ymir. you’re safe now — y/n i know he lied to you. and i know it’s painful but he’s gone, you hear me? he can’t hurt you anymore.”
another cry left your lips as you heard that reiner was gone. so that was it then. the love of your life was gone and you were never going to see him again.
“armin,” you managed to choke a sentence through your sobs. “i’m not crying because reiner lied to me.”
armin frowned. tilting his head, you could tell that he was confused. “y-you’re not? t-then why are you crying then?”
you sniffled as all the memories of you and reiner began to play out in your head. every kiss, every delicate touch. every time he made you laugh up until the very last time he made you cry.
you replayed it all, and then you stopped once you got to his last words to you.
“armin, i’m crying because he told me the truth.”

Reiner at first would push you away if he felt you were getting too close. He didn't need to get attached to you, you were just some stupid island devil...
However, as his trauma mounts and his mind becomes more and more shattered and, split, if you will...eventually you make your way in
Truth be told, Reiner has no idea what's happening. One minute he was pushing you away, the next, suddenly you guys are cuddling?
Although you do feel...nice...and warm...and you smell so good...
Reiner is smitten. You have him wrapped around your little finger.
He would do anything for you - dare he say he might ditch Bertholdt for you.
Gives you the biggest kisses, right on the lips in front of everyone. Mostly because he loves you, but another small part of him loves claiming you as his. Ymir already took Christa, he's not going to let you slip away too.
Reiner loves hugging you from behind and kissing your cheek, he also loves being dramatic and kissing your hand while he kneels in front of you
He loves laying his head on your chest at night as you run your fingers through his hair.
He loves how you treat him so nicely and he can see the love in your eyes when you look at him
He loves how he feels so secure in your relationship, in your arms, with you, etc. he wouldn't trade it for the world.
However, what he doesn't love, is how you look up at him with fear, anger and betrayal as Marco is being eaten by a titan thirty feet away from you.

Content: Post-Marley Reiner Braun x GN! Reader
Warnings: Simpage (from me), mentions of kidnapping, mentions of Marco, Zeke. Also slight suggestiveness at the end, but nothing explicit.
Notes: No S4 spoilers, even though this takes place in Marley. Anime watchers can read this 👍

Okay so, a lot of this is going to be based off an rp between me and a friend you know who you are but I feel it's close enough to his character in S4, so bare with me
Reiner took you with him to Marley by force so now you're kinda stuck with him
If you can forgive him after the whole Marco/traitor thing, I would then this will be no problem for you
He's super serious in government meetings and anything pertaining to Titans and Paradis, but when with you he's anything but
Sometimes he needs to be held and told he's okay, sometimes he wants to take you out for a walk, sometimes he just needs your presence with him but don't talk to him...it depends
I feel like he would tell you what's going on within the government and what's happened over at Paradis, even though he's not supposed to and you both could be killed for it
He only does that so you're in the loop and are safe. Although, since you'd be from Paradis, I doubt the government wouldn't make good use of you.
Reiner would do anything to make sure they wouldn't send you back over to Paradis, or make you fight again. Obviously this can only extend so far, unless you gain the favor of Zeke. But that's a discussion for another day.
Reiner would still like some PDA, or just being semi clingy in general, as you're one of his only lights of happiness. But he wants the PDA to be restricted to hand holding in front of Gabi and the others.
He's going to lean on you a lot more in Marley than he ever did in Paradis, and it might be a little overwhelming, maybe annoying, but he's a broken man and is just trying to make you happy while also trying to be happy himself.
He can get jealous pretty easily - he's always worried about losing you. So when he sees you with Zeke once you've gained his favor, he's going to start comparing himself and the older man. He's going to lash out at you and Zeke for it, but will really only beg for forgiveness from you. Please show him the wonderful ways of communicating problems.
When you're alone and you grab his tits chest, he might give you a confused look before letting you continue to mess with him. He doesn't understand your fixation with his chest, but if it makes you happy, they're all yours.
Reiner please give me a chance I beg of you

Reiner slid off his shirt, expecting you to just continue to strip and not say anything. However, you proved him wrong when you stopped to gawk at his built frame.
"Reiner..." There were so many things you wanted to say. This man's physique had you near drooling, and you could see the V that dipped below the waist of his pants.
"What?" He spoke nervously, afraid you wouldn't like how he looked. "Do you...not like it?"
"No, you look...beautiful." You openly sized him up, looking him up and down. "Eye candy."
Reiner chuckled, albeit less nervous. He fully discarded his shirt to the side and made his way over to you, grabbing the hem of your shirt. "I could say the same to you, sweetheart."
He tugged your shirt off and stared at your chest. He discarded your shirt and placed his warm hands on your waist. He brought you close and kissed you on the lips, before trailing his fingers over your waistband.
You slipped your tongue into his mouth, making him let out a small noise. He found the button on your jeans and hastily tried to undo it. You could tell his nerves were running high, because he could barely undo the button. Breaking away from the kiss, you undid your own button and zipper. Reiner's face had a small pink tint to it, either from embarassment or your tongue entering his mouth.
You grabbed the back of his head and smashed your lips onto his, slipping your tongue back in. His hands attempted to pull your pants down, but you caught his hands and put them over your clothed breasts.
Your tongue wriggled and writhed in his mouth, dancing with his. He huffed through his nose as you overtook his mouth, and decided to begin roaming. He grabbed ahold of the hem of your bra and tried to lift them up. When they plopped out, he let out a small moan and began to pinch your nipples. Girls like that, right?
He was rewarded with a moan from you, and you pulled away making him whine. Swiftly, you took off your bra and tossed it to the side, wrapping your arms around his strong neck. "For a virgin, you sure know what to do."
"Yeah well...I'm just going with what feels right." Reiner gave you a smile, huffing between words.
You leaned back towards the bed, dragging Reiner with you. You laid flat on the bed and watched Reiner steady himself above you.
"Go on, play with them more." You bunched up your boobs with your arms.
Reiner looked nervous again. "Um..."
"You can put your mouth on them."
Reiner lowered himself and placed his mouth on your nipple, sucking on it slightly and using his tongue to swirl around it. You moan softly, one hand going to the back of his head. "That's it...you can suck harder, y'know."
Reiner, as if on cue, began to suck harder. One of his hands travelled down your stomach and into your pants. Now that they were unbottoned and unzipped, your underwear was easy access. There he slipped his hand in, and down to your pussy, he used one finger to tease the entrance. You gasped at the sudden contact, and continued to softly moan. "Oh, Reiner..."
He popped off one nipple and switched to the other one, his other hand giving the free one some attention. His hand down south however, slowly began to insert one finger. You knew his fingers were meaty, but dear God they felt huge inside your pussy. You moaned his name again as he began to pump his finger in and out of you, and you couldn't help but wonder if Reiner really was a virgin.
He popped off your nipple and looked at you. "Yeah sweetheart? You like that?"
"I love it, keep going please Rei..."
He grinned. "I'm gonna add another finger, okay love?"
You nodded. "Please, please do."
He gently added a second finger, and you could have ascended to heaven if you wanted to. The stretch felt so good, you didn't know what to do with yourself. He pumped in and out of you, curling his fingers up slightly. Eren told him to do that, and with the way you grab the sheets, it seems to be working.
"Oh, Reiner..." You moan, one hand going down to circle your clit. It made you clench around his fingers even tighter, and he raised a brow.
"What are you doing?"
"Circling my clit."
His free hand waved yours away, he pulled your pants down more, and his thumb replaced your finger. "Like this?"
"Oh God yes, Reiner - like that!" You moaned, beginning to arch your back as the pleasure was becoming too much.
"Yeah? You gonna cum soon sweetheart?" He asked as he picked up his pace.
"I think so- oohh!" You closed your eyes and leaned your head back. A familiar coil was beginning to form in your stomach, something you tried to warn Reiner about.
"Rei, I'm gonna-"
"I know, puddin'. I know. I got you." He purred, picking up his pace slightly, making sure to keep pressure on your clit too as he circled it. You could feel your walls sucking his fingers in, hear the squelch your body made as he went in and out. And finally, the coil snapped.
You moaned loudly as your cum washed over his fingers. You huffed slightly, regaining your breath. He slowly pulled them out of you, and brought them up to his face. He was proud of himself - he made you cum for the first time.
He leaned over and grabbed a rag off of your nightstand that you had previously put there for this occasion, and wiped off his fingers. "You did so good for me, my love."
He leaned down and gave your forehead a kiss. He then pulled your pants down fully, and began to pull his down. "This okay?"
"More than okay."
Reiner gave you a smile before his dick flopped out, hard as a rock. He was big...but you had faith that he stretched you out properly. "So...I put it in now...right?"
"Yes, you do." You chuckled a little.
Reiner experimentally rubbed his cock over the entrance of your pussy. He shivered slightly - it felt so wet and warm, he wondered how it would feel on the inside. His tip caught on your entrance, and he thought he was gonna bust right then and there.
Slowly, he began to enter you, and it took his whole being not to shove it all in immediately. You sucked him in so nicely, so soft and wet and hot on the inside. His eyebrows began to crease, and he let out a small whimper.
"What's wrong?" You moaned out.
"You just feel...so good...so fucking good..."
He finally sheathed himself completely in you, making him moan out softly. He had never felt anything more fucking amazing than he did right now. Your pussy begged him to move, tightening ever so softly around him.
"I'm gonna start moving, okay baby?" He groaned out, and before you had a second to respond, he pulled all the way out and slammed back in.
You moaned loudly, gripping the sheets below you at the sudden snap of his hips.
"God...I can't take it...!" Reiner whimpered before setting a fast pace. The squelches and skin slapping took over the room.
You moaned very loudly, for him, with him, as he pounded your pussy relentlessly. Reiner began to drool as he lost himself in you, loving how you squeeze him and milk him for all he's worth. He grabbed your legs and bent them so he could move forward with you. He had you in a mating press.
The lifting of your hips made him hit a sensitive spot within you, skyrocketing your pleasure. "Oh, ohhh Reiner! Please, please!"
"Please what- nghh...sweetheart?" He purred lowly.
"I want you to cum inside me! Please!"
He almost came at those words. He could feel it building up inside him. He panted and moaned as his dick got sucked back into you repeatedly. "Your wish is my command, puddin'."
Your tongue lolled out of your mouth, and you moved your head to the side. Reiner leaned down to kiss and bite at your neck, with the aim to mark you. He pulled away slightly to see your fucked out expression, and grinned. "Look so pretty like this. Could take a picture and keep it with me forever."
You couldn't form English anymore. Only vague sounds and moans left your mouth. He picked up his pace slightly, feeling his own coil begin to form. "Gonna cum soon."
"Me too..." You moaned, looking up at him.
He pumped in you a few more times before grabbing your hips and slamming you close, cumming deep within you. He let out a louder groan as he did so, and you let out a loud moan, clenching around him as he circled your clit to ensure you came with him.
He panted with you, both of you staying there for a moment. You smiled at each other before Reiner slowly pulled out. He reached over for the rag and cleaned you up before beginning to clean himself up.
"How was...how was that?" You asked, huffing between words and sitting up.
"Fucking amazing, love." He smiled before leaning over to you and giving you a soft kiss. "Lay back down, let me take care of you, okay?"
