Surrender

Summary:

(if this fic had a cover, it would be Levi dressed as Fabio clutching a swooning Eren, probs)

 

In the Kingdom of Mitras, there exist two classes: the ruling and the serving. This hierarchy is reenforced through a contract which supernaturally binds a member of the lowly Cotidianum to each new ruler who takes the throne. When the new queen picks loud, brash Eren to form the bond with, the young man imagines his world coming to a proverbial end — along with his autonomy. Literally. The bond gives Eren’s “master” total control over his actions. Once Eren’s bond with the rightful ruler is completed, though, it comes as a surprise to the entire kingdom when the person he is bound to is not actually the queen… Now Eren must navigate not only a kingdom thrown into chaos and now threatened by war, but a loveless relationship he has no true say in, as well as new friends and enemies, all while trying to find a way to break the bond and return home to his ailing mother.

Even Eren, with his fighter’s spirit, knows he’s got his work cut out for him.

If only his new husband weren't so damn good looking.

Notes:

This started as an original fic, with original characters, but then I decided Eren and Levi were perfectly suited to it.

This does feature a forced loss of autonomy, but there will never be non-con. There will be some moments of rather dubious-consent, but those will arise from Eren and Levi trying to skirt the rules/laws of the bond, not from willful violation/abuse, and I will always warn ahead of time in a chapter.

If anyone would like additional tags, or has any questions/concerns, feel free to leave a comment or find me on tumblr at kalipeda.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

Dressed in clothes and jewels more opulent than anything he thought even existed a short two weeks ago, Eren Jäger now sat on a small, delicately carved stool at the bottom of three short stairs. The stairs lead up to a dais upon which sat one of the most excessively elaborate structures he had ever seen, masquerading as a throne. Towering a good eight feet tall, gold, silver and platinum were woven together like cloth in some marvel of metal work and embellished with every type of precious stone imaginable. On this throne sat Eren’s new master: young, beautiful, by all accounts charming, and the queen.

He hated her.
