   • People will hate this but i ship Hange x Levi x Erwin
   • Tho I do think it was platonic with Hange and Erwin. I think Levi was like the centre of it all. Haha
   • But also that ship isnt massively reflected in the text. So hopefully it wont put people off

   Summary

   Levi Ackerman isn't young anymore. In fact, he's almost 40. Reticent that with his injuries he's of no use to anyone anymore he packs up and takes a job as a lighthouse keeper on an island noone can remember the name of.

   He's not expecting to meet a Selkie, part woman, part seal, who is adamant that she is going to teach him to swim.

   Note: I'm an adult woman who likes writing about my favorite characters banishing themselves to far off islands!

   I also love Selkie folklore and have been reading a lot of it lately. I have added a little bit of lore, which I hope won't be offensive in any way!
