Hange’s head jerked back at the retort, her own eyes narrowing back at her friend. Rarely did Levi get angry at her about anything, usually just a mild annoyance that she could brush off with a shitty joke. Hange paused her tapping, slapping her hand not-so-very gently on the bar top.
“Oi, I get you’re going through some shit, that doesn’t give you the right to get all pissed off with me when I’m asking you a question. Get your head out of your ass Levi, see the shit that’s happening around you before you lose the best thing that has walked willingly into your life in the last 15 years of your lame ass existence.”
Levi’s mouth opened to reply, but Hange was already focused on the keg once more, back turned to him. He sighed loudly, running a hand through his hair. Levi saw movement to the left of him, seeing blonde hair. Erwin took a seat to the left of him, looking between his two friends. “What’s all the racket about?”
Hange looked over her shoulder to Erwin, nodding in Levi’s direction. “Levi is acting like a child, knock some sense into him please before I end up knocking him out.”
[兵艾]沒想到會有推薦BDSM同人的一天（←我自己也很驚訝，幾乎通宵讀完這篇長篇小說）。
因為這篇寫得很棒呢，作者考察之深，以及採用的描寫方式讓我開拓了眼界，作者甚至會把滾床單關燈處理，著眼於兩人在過程中的彼此探索，以及引申出來的關係變化。
以前對BDSM有這認知，不過只是朦朧的概念，如此優美地表現出來是第一次。相比性，權力轉移和互信才是真正的重點，所以儘管那些過程很厲害，但整篇散發一種安心感。（？）

另外記得要看清楚作者打的tag哦。
首肯、同意、consent是這篇的核心，BDSM聽來看來很驚人，但這裡的兵長不是sadist，他只會做艾倫接受和同意的事情。Dom是照顧Sub的存在，一舉一動都是引導Sub去做Sub想做的事，所以承擔的責任很大。那段關於Sub把全部信任交給Dom，Dom也必須負起全部責任的講述，相當令人動容，還有點浪漫。
所以哪怕那些場面很驚人（抱歉我真的講不出來[艸），但一點也沒有屈辱感，從兩人的關係感受到柔軟的東西，這也是我喜歡這篇長篇的地方。
兵長一直不讓艾倫踏入他的房間，而是跟他待在備用房，這反映了兵長心裡的忌憚和遲疑。雖然他是個善解人意的Dom但現實裡也害怕付出過多，這樣的若即若離最後導致無法承受而爆發的艾倫出走，斷了兩人的關係。
作者在描寫這段時期的艾倫相當痛苦，我才知道原來Dom/Sub解除關係不是那麼簡單，艾倫有了Sub Drop的後遺症，也更令人明白Dom/Sub本身是多麼重要而不能輕視面對的關係。
因為裡面詳細鋪陣了Dom如何承擔照顧Sub的責任，所以當漢吉把兵長特別為艾倫訂製的項圈交給艾倫，而艾倫淚盈滿眶時，身為讀者真的可以同理那種被珍視的感受。作者把一個這麼激烈（同時容易使人分心）的肉體+精神關係寫得那麼純粹，實在是不能忽視的功力。（還有漢吉，她是裡面最好的神隊友，特別喜歡她為了艾倫去跟兵長吵架那幕）
