Description FINAL


"I'll come back for you, I promise."


I meant those words I spoke in a hushed whisper, a tone I knew I would never speak with anyone else. (Name) relaxed in my arms, tears rising to her luminous eyes and spilling down her reddened cheeks. As much as it pained me to see her with such sadness in her soul, I knew it was something that must be done. I could not allow her to be trapped again. I wanted freedom as much as she, but I knew I had t sacrifice some of it in order for her to be free.


Here sat a person who I never imagined in my life, and now I couldn't imagine my life without her. The way she laughed, the way she held her head, the tears that escaped her eyes and the way she whispered my name were all things I would never forget as long as I lived. 


I hugged her tighter to my body as I felt the moment of our separation draw near. I knew I would never see her again, as long as I lived, so I wanted these final moments to forever be in my memory. The way she felt in my arms, the way she pressed against me, the heat from her body and her scent; they were all things I never wanted to forget.


I could have turned her in, I could have ridded myself of her and her charms, but then I would never forgive myself. I could have had all the gold she was worth, but it would not ease the emptiness in my soul.


"Rivaille" her voice whispered to me, that voice that had haunted my dreams and plagued my thoughts. It cracked under the strain of the emotion behind it, sadness and despair at having to let go of me for the final time. 


I wanted this moment to last forever, to never let go of her figure. I wanted nothing more than to hold her in my arms until the end of time. but the time was drawing close, the seconds ticking by faster than i wanted. 


Then suddenly, it was time. 


With a heavy sigh, I gingerly placed my lips on the side of her neck, whispering three words in her ear as I detached myself from her and slipped out of the carriage. 


It took a moment for the carriage to start. It gave (Name) enough time to spring to the window and look after me. 


How much I wanted to go back, to feel her in my grip one last time. But I knew that time had come and gone.


A heavy hand rested on my shoulder, captain Erwin whispered words I did not hear. 


I only saw (Name), riding away for the last time, the evening light painting shadows on her face. 


I saw her lips whisper my name


I saw her hands press to the glass, as if reaching for me.


I could see her blink the tears away


and she smiled.


"Rivaille, its time."


I didn't care.


For in that moment...


Her eyes glittered like gold.

 This was very beautifully written with an amazing storyline. Now I have to go find some funny oneshot to cheer myself up. This was amazing!!!

Ps.
If you ever did a sequel, you could start it at the fall of wall Maria and he saves her from a Titan or something like that. I know you probably won't do a sequel, and I respect that, but that would be awesome.

OH. MY. FLUFFNUGGETS. TIS BEAUTIFUL.
Sequel idea(If you'd like to hear): Reader-chan later joins the survey corps. Out of determination not to be weak and useless- *coughweallknowitstofindrivaillelolcough* and ends up finding him. HMMMM PLOT. Bonus tragedy: Near death/death via Titan

This whole series was amazing, I cannot even begin to put into words just how amazing it is. Though the ending was bittersweet(though more bitter than sweet) I especially loved how you added the title into the story as the last line of the entire series. Though I find it slightly disheartening that after everything they've been through, after everything they have sacrificed together, in the end they could not be up together. Besides that, amazing series and a perfect and beautiful ending.

I'm crying (shocker). I used to never cry until I got into this fandom and was introduced to fanfiction. I remember when the first few parts of this story were coming out and I snuck it my phone with me everywhere just to read this. I grew soooooo attached to this story. I wanted a happy ending so badly, but this was BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for your pure talent and please update often <3

Wow! The ending is much better than I imagined. I apologize for having not been very much help close to the end, Zeph-san, but it came out beautifully without having to kill anyone, or cause too much emotional trauma to Reader-chan. Thank you very much for allowing me to be a part of this amazing project. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next.
