I will have to read that fic sooner or later, since people keep reccing it to me. I don't read that much Erwin/Levi but I like fics with the premise of exploring the finer implications of dominance/submission dynamics so it sounds right up my alley.
AYRT: Be aware it's been jossed both by ACWNR and the main manga, so the canon divergence/AU factor is pretty strong by now. There are some scenes featuring Eren as a very small child (which are totally adorable), but otherwise there is no 104th presence at all yet. And for a fic of its length (and still in progress) it contains very little explicit content.
That said, if you like subtle D/s dynamics, UST, and loyalty, plus a great deal of plot and character development (including for secondary characters), you will probably like it. I've seen some complaints that Erwin is creepy in how he pushes Levi's boundaries, without the narrative acknowledging it. Personally I haven't gotten that read so far. Shoi has said, however, in comments that she does intend to go to darker places with Erwin's dominance over Levi, mirroring his moral ambiguity in canon.
Until now we really didn't have much on Hitch, but I remember somebody back at their first apperance comparing the scene with Annie, Hitch and Marlowe talking with a similar scene between Annie herself, Jean and Eren and I was like, "oooh I can see that alright".
Now I see it too. I wonder if Annie would have ended up mentoring Marlo to the same extent she did Eren, had she been able to keep her cover and remain in the MP for longer.
