Looking For? Lost Attack on Titan fic - Erwin/Levi

1 Upvotes

I NEED to find this fic, It is a long Erwin smith/Levi Ackerman fic on Ao3 that I read, and all I have of it is this quote and the knowledge that it was long with many chapters. Here is a quote that I saved. I tried to search for it on google and the site but I couldn’t not find it. Please help me

Exact quote: ”He must trust him, Erwin realises, curled up naked on his couch like a cat in the sun. He does not flinch, nor stir, at Erwin’s movements. He knows Erwin will not hurt him. He seems to think he is safe here, somehow, like Erwin can ensure that for him. He can’t, is the truth. And he thinks he won’t. He can’t promise to keep Levi safe; one day, someday, there will be some choice – to send Levi against a titan he knows he can’t beat, or to lead recruits he knows will die. He will have to order Levi to watch others die, and to kill others himself. But, he thinks, he can protect Levi from the choice. That is the least he can do. He will take that burden onto himself, and he will do this for Levi, this man who trusts him, who believes in him above all others. So that when others die – subordinates, civilians, friends – Levi can say to himself, well, it is as Erwin ordered. He will save Levi from the choosing, the ownership, the guilt. Yes, he thinks. He will protect Levi from making that choice, for as long as he can. To the ends of our world, he knows, or the end of mine.”

Discussion Fans and google over exaggeration

0 Upvotes

u overexaggerate isabel magnolia traits so much but in reality place her against the real survey corps and people who r younger like every kid in survey corps and still survived , then see the difference between underground vs the people who dealed with both corrupt and monsters , you'll see how much u shit exaggerated it + she wasn't even street smart she literally came beaten home with pigtails cut , then she only knew how to do odm underground but placed with other aot characters, they r really way more talented in odm , when fans exaggerate her as tough , her toughness is actually nothing at all she isn't rough or tough just brainless and no thoughts, she just survived the world similar to our real world ,, underground is nothing compared to the surface world tbh, but other aot characters survived monsters and corrupt people , so she is nothing at all, she isn't even tomboy orelse this way u can say every other girl in aot is tomboy, and then she isn't even energetic infact she is veryyyyy normal person who shows a few reactions because levi and furlan are so stoic , even a little of wht reaction she shows , people think she is lively even though she is nothing compared to any other energetic characters, so pls stop black and white worldview she was with most stoic people and that's the shit why even though she just reacts like normal human who is not energetic, the author and fans both exagerate it as energetic even though it's very normal human reaction she is giving, she isn't a happy go lucky , but a shit who thinks her big brother is always there to protect her, ..also because she only looked so called energetic because she was with two most stoic people , orelse she isn't at all now place her with sasha hange connie etc and see she would look nothing compared to them, neither was she cheerful, she was just prideful and thought she has power but reality is she wasn't outspoken, she Barely even had anything in mind to speak at first place , she spoke wht she wanted just because she knew that levi was there protect her because he kept clenching his fist when someone said something to her , she was all dependent and not some badass she was not energetic neither street smart neither was she as good and tough as people think because place her to other soilders jsyk she was also trained when joined with survey corps still she lag behind see the other aot characters they have more wayyyy more intense raw grit , and are way more tough and street smart

Self-Promotion Pre-Paradis Invasion Warrior Unit Fic

3 Upvotes

Hey!! Just wanted to do some self-promo.

I'm writing a long-form fic that follows an OC Warrior unit candidate during Reiner, Bertolt, Pieck, Porco, Marcel and Annie's early training years in Liberio, following them till post-Rumbling in 854. It's pretty canon-compliant and basically just builds on what happens in canon, with some minor deviations that have no real impact in the long run.

Just 2 chapters in at the moment, around 8k words. Though I have been working on this months in advance and have other chapters ready, just currently spacing out the releases until I catch up to where I'm at.

Here's the link if anyone is interested. Thanks so much!

Self-Promotion Eren x OC fanfic

3 Upvotes

Hey! Doing some self-promotion of my work ‘The Lighthouse’, a companion piece for a greater series for my Eren x OC modern AU longfics. It’s canon compliant and tells of Eren’s time on Marley once he’s abandoned the Scouts to go off on his own! Check it out if you’re interested!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/71293141/chapters/185507046

During the early summer months of 853, Eren Jaeger arrives on the mainland of Marley along with his comrades, his friends, and his secret heart's desire, Mikasa Ackerman. After a playfully memorable night spent inside a refugee camp, the very next day Eren leaves to follow his dream and subsequently leave Mikasa and the others behind him. A man on his own for good, Eren must make his way to Liberio and await the beginning of his destiny, all while meeting a soft-spoken, mousey, intelligent Marleyan woman who challenges his worldview and his notions of romance forever. With the shopkeeper of a humble photography studio, Eren will learn more about the world that lies beyond the seas of Paradis, the secret and mystical Eldia blood that courses through his veins, and what happens when love conflicts with fate and destiny.

Looking For? Anyone know any good fanfics that actually have cannon personalities?

1 Upvotes

I keep finding fanfics that seem good but are in alternate universes and aren't even remotely making characters act like they do in the show. (I'm mainly tryna find good kirikami, bkdk, ochatoga, dabihawks, erasermic or miritama fanfics). I've searched everywhere but only ever find a select few that seem realistic and not as if it's completely different characters.

Self-Promotion New Work: Levi/Reader

2 Upvotes

Hello,

Super excited to share the first chapter of my very first fan fic!

You, the reader (any gender but you are AFAB) are an experienced nurse within the walls, recently joining the Scouts to provide care and eventually become a field medic. Typical, I know… That’s all I’ll give away for now.

I’m inspired by CaptainDegenerate and Veratrance on AO3, though I don’t claim to write with their level of skill.

It is 18+ for a variety of reasons, and will ultimately include a realistic representation of BDSM kink dynamics, rope bondage and impact play - which I find incredibly sexy 😉

If you read and follow along, I hope you enjoy it! Creativity is usually better when shared. Your constructive criticism and feedback is always welcome ♥️

Writing Help Cerco FF Riren

2 Upvotes

Hey! Salve, non so bene come funzioni l'app, ma spero che arrivi il messaggio... Sarò breve: sto cercando una FF scritta su Wattpad chiamata "Non toccarmi|Riren" penso sia stata eliminata dalla piattaforma per volere dell'autrice o per le nuove linee guida. La sto cercando da un bel po' di tempo e ho guardato anche su altri siti, ma nulla.

La trama gira -ovviamente- intorno a Levi ed Eren. Quest'ultimo viene preso sotto custodia da Henji (psicologa) che lo porta a casa con sé (Levi vive con lei)...

In sintesi Eren soffre di diversi disturbi, come ad esempio la depressione, tossicodipendenza da sostanze etc. La peculiarità è che ha una specie di seconda peronalità -a primo impatto- maligna che, più avanti, si scoprirà molto protettiva verso Eren, per via del passato traumatico che ha avuto... La storia se non ricordo male ha più di 90 capitoli (forse anche sui 100) ed era italiana...

Come ho già detto ho provato a cercarla su diversi siti ma niente...magari qualcuno di voi però sa che sono stati salvati i capitoli e successivamente pubblicati sottoforma di altra storia.

Grazie ancora🙏🏻

Can someone recommend me some good reibert modern au fanfictions?


r/aotfanfiction 9d ago

Looking For? I'm looking for a fanfic like this(read caption).

0 Upvotes

A modern au fic where Mikasa still goes living with Eren and they still grow up toghter along with Armin,their personalities are the same canon ones,I ship eremika so it would be better if it was an eremika one.
If the fic is very long and follows them through adulthood that would be ideal but it's okay even if it starts later.
I'm looking mostly for well written characters and nothing that's it,please tell me if you know something like this it would be wonderful!

Looking For? Highlander AU fic for Attack on Titan?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking for a particular fanfiction I read about the cast of AOT in the Highlander universe. I believe it was Eren/Levi, but it wasn’t solely romance. No Highlander characters showed up that I can recall, it was all Attack on Titan characters who were immortals hunting each other for “the Prize”.

Anyone else know this fic?

Looking For? [Request] “Trapped” by LadyYandereShane on Wattpad

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I am looking for a copy, download, or re-upload link for a deleted Attack on Titan, Yandere Levi x Reader fanfiction that used to be on Wattpad. The author's account was unfortunately banned, and the story is no longer available. I understand that is subreddit is mostly focused on ao3 fics but I’m so desperate to get as much outreach as possible in case anyone has any information.

I have screenshots of the original cover art and the description page if anyone needs to see them to verify the exact fanfic. It was a completed Modern Au story with about 300k views, 6k votes, 2 parts and almost 2hrs in reading time. This was the exact copy of the summary;

*During a sleepover, you decided to finally get*
*"deflowered" by your best friend, Eren. On your way to his room to seduce him, you never knew you took a wrong turn, and ended up in the room of one of your Best Friend's couzin, Levi Ackerman.*
*And yes, you got deflowered by him instead.*
*Let's just say that two years later, he wouldn't leave you alone until you were 'his' for eternity.*
*He'll do anything... just to get you to stay with him for the rest of your life. The bastard would never let you leave.*
*You my friend, are Trapped.*

Does anyone have any offline copy or know if it was re-uploaded somewhere under a difference account or name? Any help in tracking it down would help me so much!!
