It’s a second she took for granted, one that’s cost her time and time again. It took only a second for all their plans to fall apart, a second for everything to spiral out of control. ![]() They had fallen, all the same, because she had been too slow. If, perhaps, she hadn’t held those swords so strongly, she could have grasped their lives before they slipped through her fingers. Her knuckles ache from clenching so long, missing the familiar weight of her blades they’re lost, now, somewhere in the vast forest she had crashed through, but perhaps it’s for the best. Their blood, now caked to her clothes, still feels fresh on her fingers. This night is only cruel, however, and death clings to her so pungently that she tastes only grief and ash on her tongue. She wears it as a remembrance of something cruel and beautiful, just as that night had been. The most precious reminder hangs from her neck like a noose- red like blood, warm like love, tight enough to remind her of her follies, but old enough to derive comfort from. There are memories that follow her like shadows- some harsh and unrelenting, others vulnerable in nature- but the sacred ones are buried deep within her heart, hidden from prying eyes and solely hers to touch. She has long since realized that experience, regardless of its depth, is what truly shapes a person, and that pain will accompany her for years to come tragedy is no stranger to her, and time has never been a friend, not when she’s had so little of it. ![]() The fear of losing more than she is ever willing to give the fear of abandonment, of reliving the past the fear of her own limitations, of having monstrous strength yet being incapable of saving those who need her most. But more importantly, when everything is stripped away and she’s laid bare, Mikasa is dangerously human beneath all her power and skill, there is fear. ![]() I’m sorry it took so long, I hope you enjoy!Īt her very core, Mikasa is a soldier- sullied by war and marred with regrets. This prompt is so old, i’ve worked on it on and off over time so it’s not caught up with the current story arc. While the snk fandom is currently erupting into flames, let’s submit something into the rivamika side of tumblr.
