Summary
The room would have accepted the excuse without a second thought if it wasn't for the fact that America's hair was limp and unkempt, darker at the roots from missed washes. His skin was pale, almost sallow, and the dark circles under his eyes looked like bruises. The very sight immediately sent quiet alarm bells ringing in Japan’s mind.
Their eyes met, just for a second.
America flinched and looked away.
That brief glance said everything. It wasn’t embarrassment. It was guilt.
Canada noticed too. He always did. Chewing on the inside of his cheek, too unsure to speak.
England noticed most of all. How could he not?He’d practically raised the boy. How could he not see the slumped posture, the hollow brightness in his voice. None of it was right.
...
In which America deals with the aftermath of something horrible and everybody else tries their best to be there for him. As it turns out, he's not the only one with problems or bad coping mechanisms. Rape Recovery. Future AmePan and GerIta. Also FrUk. Character Projection from some personal experiences. Self-harm. FACE FAMILY STUFFS.

Summary
When they're young and naive, friendship blossoms easily between Eren Jaeger and Armin Arlert. But, as time passes, feelings begin to shift. Eren finds himself dating his sister's best friend, while Armin can't quite shake the thought that it should be him Eren is dating. After years of pining and fruitless hoping, Armin finally comes clean about his crush on the day of their high school graduation. Time is not on the boys' side and once summer vacation ticks to a close Eren is shipped off to Army Basic Training while Armin finds himself furthering his school career. Distance isn't kind, and, inevitably, the relationship falls apart. Eight years pass slowly without Eren to lean on, but Armin treks on. Though he's plagued by grief, he continues living the best he can. Slowly, he finds hope in old friends and begins to build himself up as an individual without clinging to the memory of Eren.
That is until Eren's life violently collides with Armin's own when he moves into the apartment next door.
Ultimately, Armin is left with his toughest decision thus far, does he fight tooth and nail to stay away from Eren and regain the independence he lost, or does he throw himself back into the fire he just narrowly escaped?- Language:

Summary
Eren kisses him again, kisses his little giggling mouth and his flower-pink face in quick little pecks, and people on the streets don’t stare because they’re just children and children are supposed to love each other before they grow old and forget how to. [Eremin in six kisses.]

Summary
After a childhood greatly lacking affection, Armin is desperate for someone to love him and ready to give his heart and soul away at the first opportunity.
One textbook abusive relationship later, Armin has pretty much stopped believing in the concept of happiness. When being introduced to Eren Jaeger, however, he can't help himself slowly falling for the rebellious metalhead, who seems to be a bit of an enigma but might be able to teach Armin how to trust and enjoy life again.
Still - ex-partners don't just disappear and neither do the scars they caused. And no matter how perfect the idea of a relationship seems, some things you have to fight for on your own, like self-worth.
Also, no one is perfect anyway and everyone has a past - especially Eren.
But maybe it's worth it this time.
