I see Eren x Annie, I like. I see a hint of Rivetra, I also like that. My two OTPs

Okay I just finished reading this! (I know, I did it sooner than I thought I would hahaha). I have a few things that I want to say, although I'm not sure what kind of review you were hoping to get when you approached me.

First things first, I love, love, love the simple writing. Sometimes people try to be so metaphoric with their writing, using fancy words and expressions the mind can hardly process, and of course nothing wrong with that. Props to the people who can do that, cause I sure can't. To me, a simply-worded story is just as beautiful as it could be. The beauty that lies in simplicity has always been the kind to capture my attention most, because I just find it so outstanding how people could use simple words to create masterpieces, and it also makes one appreciate the little things more. It makes those who are just starting feel reassured and comfortable with what they make.

Now onto reviewing the actual story: I can maybe point out a few things you could've done differently. I feel like there was a lack in describing Eren's point of view and overall emotions concerning Annie and seeing her for the first time after so long, since that's been emphasized from the beginning, and it could have been a recurring point through it all, but it was dropped in a moment and then retrieved again later on, when it should have been there constantly. For example, you could've described Eren's thoughts and feelings upon seeing the crystal for the first time, when Hanji and Levi were still there, from the moment they took off to the moment they set foot in the place where they kept her. The process of activating the coordinate could have also been extended quite a bit.

I also felt like the characterization could be better, in terms of dialogue for the most part. There were a few interactions with Levi and Hanji, and there was especially the one with Annie crying and calling herself stupid, which I felt was a bit out of character. Not saying that she wouldn't do it, but she would do it differently; less dramatically.

I hope the above points don't make you upset or feel bad about your work, because I still have good things to say that I thought I should leave last. I'm just trying to write this review from a fellow writer's pov. When people leave reviews on my work, I'd much rather it be constructive criticism; of things I did well and things I could improve, rather than it just being compliments (although nothing wrong with those either).

So before you regret asking me to read this, let me tell you the things I loved about your story, besides, as mentioned, the simple writing. I loved the small interaction with Eren and Historia; these two have forever been one of my favorite brotps in the series. Their friendship is so precious to me, and I was happy with their interaction in this story, despite how short it was.

Now I know I said that Eren's feelings could use more description at some parts, but the scene with him talking to Annie through her crystal had me on the verge of tears. This is not an exaggeration. That scene filled me with so much emotion, I could feel the pain and desperation that Eren was feeling all too well, so hats off to you! You did a wonderful job with that scene! The description of the scenery was also lovely, it honestly felt as if I were watching rather than reading this.

And of course, even if it makes little sense, the otp falling asleep in each other's arms isn't something I can say no to. I hope they both got to rest a little bit, they sure as hell deserved it. Oh and Eren finally kissing the girl! Honestly it took him long enough, gotta make the best of it now that she's out of the crystal and they're on a time limit!

It's getting way past my bedtime and I don't wanna make this too long, but overall this was a fun bedtime story to read, hahahaha! Again, I'm glad my comic was of inspiration to you, and this surely was a nice piece. I have total faith in your writing, and there's lots of room for improvement too!

Best of luck with your future work!

Sweet, awesome story.

Don't you dare leave this as a one-shot

This was really sweet! And a scenario I would be all for to happen in the manga- Annie and Eren really do have the most chemistry out of all the 104th imo, and I can't wait to see how Isayama handles their interactions (and hopefully reunion scene) in future chapters. This was really cute, and I really enjoyed how even though this is an EA fic, you added some insight into Hange and Levi's feelings on thier lost loved ones- was a really nice touch! I loved how Eren is so in love with Annie, he can't even contain himself haha!

I do see the current manga Eren as a bit more solemn and serious (and not as 'youthful' or 'eager' as he once was) so it was a little bit odd to see how he still acted so impulsive and outbursty with Annie- but you wrote it in such a way that I didn't mind, because it was so bittersweet and adorable! My favorite part is when Eren ripped up the script haha, I did think earlier 'is this like a movie audition?' lol, so it was an nice twist. Thanks for writing this, I would love to see more!

Man, I just hope Annie comes back in the future chapters. This one shot just fills me up with so much hope and excitement

Very beautiful one shot. Honestly if Eren was like this more from the beginning. I wouldn't loathe his character and prefer Reinor or Berthold as protagonist.

love this, absolutely love this. I so hope we see the day Annie wakes and fights with Eren against Marley, always will be my otp till they die or for some reason get with other characters when they gave a perfect relationship to use between them. glad you did this, and I see you also used the royal blood to connect and talk with her like I did for Awakening. the more I think of it that's probably going to be the way she does return if she hasn't already. we're just now seeing Eren after the 4 year timeskip, so who know if during that time he woke her up and helped him and Armin destroy those scouting ships zeke mentioned in chapter 93. hope there's more more this from you, you write wonderfully!

OTP VIBES ARE BEYOND INFINITY! Thank you for the fanfic though, been having a rough day, and great stories like these on your OTP of one's favourite anime go a long way, so thanks, it really means a lot to me. I'd be excited if you make a sequel, I know it says complete in the description but perhaps another one shot after the Marley War and then peace is established with all other hostile nations and Annie and Eren are living together? Just a suggestion, although it truly is difficult to even pretend how the current arc is gonna end and like in all previous chapters but I hope we get some insight on Tyber's plan next chapter with the festival and all or whatever the hell Zeke is plotting. Sorry for drabbling on, but once again thank you so much!
