Summary
“Right. Let’s hope there are no sexy assassins to derail you this time.”
He gawked at her, unsure he’d heard her wording correctly. “I… I made no such qualitative assessment of her appearance,” he answered but he sounded defensive. “I didn’t even get a real look at her. It was too dark.”
“No need to explain.” The amused grin remained but she rolled her eyes. “Mercenary agencies work a lot like we do. They go for the good-looking ones.”

Summary
"I am a tool, Yor."
He said it plainly, without flair. A statement of fact, a thing he'd had a long time to understand and had run out of ways to argue with.
"I have been since I was seventeen." He seemed to look far away, then at the weapons he laid on the floor, then at her. "I became whatever I was asked to be. I did things I did not want to do, did things I wanted to, and I let others do things to me, and I do things to others. For the mission. For peace. I have told myself that it serves something larger and most days I believe it." A pause, and he laughed at himself. "I think I’m the most disgusting person I know. That’s what I am, a tool."
The cold air moved between them.
"And lately, there were days," he said, "when I allowed myself to imagine. To want. A life, with you and Anya." He stopped. "And then I would stop. Every time. I would not allow myself to want it, not even think of it."

No one dear to him waits for him, and it makes him throw himself to any mission; until Anya and Yor happened.Bookmarked by Elixir_711

Summary
It was another lonely night, but devastatingly quiet. Mikasa’s fingers clawed into her own arms as she walked down the hall, hating herself for how much she wanted the sound of the Rumbling back because at least then, she knew where the titans were.
Now, she didn’t.
They were somewhere else. Moving along. Marching off to maim and massacre. It was quiet out there – so quiet.
She wanted to be beside Jean again, feel him there, and it made her feel weak and stupid and lost, and Mikasa hated feeling weak and stupid and lost, but sitting on his bed last night, and feeling her dear friend be so near, not even an inch from her own skin, had been more relieving than she could have hoped.

Instead of spending one night in Shiganshina alone, such that canon suggests, both the Rumbling and Armin and Connie's journey take multiple days, leaving Jean and Mikasa without anyone except each other. This extended time leaves room for many things to grow, including unexplored feelings, implications for their country, and the volatile suspicion from dangerous Yeagerists who threaten both of their safety.
