Firefighter AU
Reiner's life was pretty simple. Go to work, put out fires, help people, and try not to seem so desperately in love with his coworker. Simple.
But when a series of suspicious fires start to pop up, they learn that they have an arsonist on the loose. Suddenly everything isn't so simple anymore and Reiner finds himself buckling under the pressure of the secrets he's forced to keep.

Firefighter AU. (Probably going to be 20,000-30,000 words) Nothing posted yet, trying bang out the rough draft before I actually post anything. But at least it's all plotted out! (Posting this is just me yelling at myself to hurry tf up)
Both are from chapter 1.
Reiner's flashback (Read: Origin Story):
“Reiner!”
It’s hot. So hot. The heat pushed at Reiner’s skin, incessant and needy. His sweat made him feel like he was drowning. His whole body trembled and he peeked up from his knees. There’s a hand in front of his face. Small, like his. Sturdy and unshaking, unlike his.
“Reiner, you have to move!” That voice. Marcel?
There it was again. Loud. Annoying. He wanted it to stop. Reiner curled into himself some more, shutting his eyes to the red and orange flames outside his closet door. The shadows looked like demons.
Reiner on falling in love with Eren:
It was fitting really, what with the reckless determination that was known to rule Eren’s actions. If in real life Eren ran around like a force of nature, tearing down walls and running through flames, why shouldn’t that also be true for the way he invaded Reiner’s heart?
Reiner knew now that his heart had belonged to Eren ever since those first days of working with him. All it took was watching him run haphazardly into a house that resembled a tower of flames more than a building and then actually return, arms wrapped protectively around a little boy, for him to fall.
It was a pure emotion. So raw that it cut through Reiner every time he so much as glanced at the man.
Someone give me a ReinerxEren one shot idea. AU or canon. (Only thing is I’m only as far as the anime in canon).
I need a break from working on my WIPs although I already have one I’m working on for this ship.
Watching AOT S4 I thought “huh, Reiner x Eren seems like an interesting ship. Wonder if I should write about it.” So I started to write a fanfiction.
Now, half a chapter down I think I fully convinced myself to start shipping Reiner x Eren. There is no other explanation. I full on dreamt the fanfic I was writing last night.
I swear that you can convince yourself of anything (and I’m sure Reiner’s split personality would agree).
