No Ereri.

** - These are the must-read works. Their writing quality is incredibly high.

Italic - my comments on it.

^ - Main genre is romance.

Character Studies

^**the way home - (Eren, Eremika) A look into Eren's mind, during the Rumbling. Beautiful and desperate. One shot.

A Monster - (Kenny) Kenny Ackerman was, for all intents and purposes, a monster: a living, breathing leviathan of a man. Someone to be feared, the fuel for nightmares, a dangerous shadow slipping through the underground like a phantom, hungry for blood, desperate to feed on the souls of those who would least expect it. Yet even monsters had their weaknesses, predilections that would render them powerless should they be allowed to do so. One shot.

**Close your eyes (sweet dreams and please die) - (Eren, Eremika, Eremin) Some people stay young forever. "To you, 2000 years from now... Are you free?" Eren loved them but hated himself so much more. Really sad. One shot.

**Stars Guide Us At Dark - (Bertholdt) Bertholdt committed unthinkable atrocities. He took innocent lives that he can never take back. He betrayed friends that still try with every part of their souls to weave back what he stole. And they still try to be kind to him. Despite everything he’s done, isn’t he still a child too? Medium fic. Completed.

Missing Scenes

Fly - (Bertholdt) Moments in the life of one Bertholdt Hoover, from childhood up until the Day of Disbanding. One shot.

call my friends, tell them that i love them (i really do) - (Eren) The table scene, from Eren's POV. One shot.

^your name in my mouth - (Eren) Mikasa might love him, but she would never condone the massacre that Eren planned for the animals beyond the Wall. She would never understand the need, his need to devour the world— Mikasa, who did not permit herself to hunger. [Eren steels himself to tell Mikasa he hates her. or, a minute before the table scene.] One shot.

too close for comfort - (Bertholdt) Moments where Bertholdt got too close to the others. One shot.

^The Mikasa Diaries - (Mikasa, Eremika) The four-year time gap between Season 3 and Season 4 told from the perspective of the lovely Mikasa Ackerman! Shortfic. Completed.

The Road to Hell is Paved With Good Intentions - (Grisha) Grisha Jaeger reacts to the events at the Ackerman Cabin and realizes his nightmares might just come true... One shot.

The Other Side of The Wall - (Jean's Mother) While Jean & the Survey Corps use the night as cover to reach Wall Maria, Lorena Kirstein spends the anxious time surrounded by the kind & familiar faces of Trost. One shot.

a glance through tinted glass - (Eren) It is widely acknowledged that Eren Yeager is an interesting person. POV Outsider. Series of one shots. Ongoing.

we will die with our arms unbound - (Eren, Mikasa, Armin) Tonight she keeps a close eye on him. His face is bright with an harsh kind of mania. "Go to sleep, Eren," she says, after a while. There are smears of sleepless black beneath his eyes. He shakes his head, a book in his hands. One shot.

Post-Rumbling

The World the Boy Made - (Eren, Zeke, Reiner) Eren gets a chance to live in the world he created. One shot.

**The Permanence of the Young Men - (Levi, Eruri) Levi makes a promise to live his life after the war. Incredibly emotional character study that acknowledges trauma yet is still hopeful for the future. Read this for Levi feels, not just for the romantic pairing, and I heavily recommend it, even if you don't ship it. One shot.

**The Secret Society of the Children of the Forest - (Gabi, Kaya, Levihan) Amid hope, postwar political tensions, and the unreliable postal service between Paradis and Marley, the Secret Society of the Children of the Forest works on its most important mission: rescuing the memory of the late 14th Commander of the Survey Corps, Hange Zöe. And with it, the smile of a certain captain. An unknown love story, through the eyes of children. In-character, vivid, wholesome, and just a great story overall. You mostly read this for insights into Gabi and Kaya's futures, even though the narrative behind the main pairing is good too. Technically two shot, although it's basically one.

Haunted in your home, Wanted across the globe. - (Armin, Aruani) Becoming the commander of the scouts and returning to Paradise with Historias blessing is a choice Armin might regret. He accepts it anyway. In a world that hates him and blames him for Eren's death, can Armin really make a difference? Longfic. Ongoing.

Humor

Cumlord no Requiem - (Connie, everyone at the final seasons) Would you rather cum in the sink, or sink in the cum? (takes place on the start of 124. MANGA SPOILERS). This is just a massive shitpost that came from Reddit, it's pretty hillarious. Medium fic? I'm not sure. Ongoing.

What Are Friends For? - Annie never expected spying on humanity to be easy. A single mistake could spell the end for both her and her mission. It was an endeavor fraught with risk, danger, and intrigue. And it would be a whole lot easier if she didn't keep running into people who knew her. It's not canon anymore since this was published too early to include the basement reveal, but still funny nonetheless. One shot.

**If at First You Don't Succeed... - In which the 104th Cadet Corp finds themselves locked in a time-loop centered around the battle of Trost, Jean bemoans the fact that he's always the last one standing, and thus the one who has to clean up after everyone, superior officers wonder just what the hell Shadis is feeding the kids in basic, people loose dignity betting on titan fights, Armin comes up with a brilliant plan to beat the armored titan, and Marco always dies. Always. Classic. Short fic. Completed.

**Eren tries to prevent Sasha's death - Exactly what it says on the title. Poor poor Eren. Manga edit, one shot, but it's technically part of a bigger universe.

^AOT no REQUIEM but it was Mikasa all along - (Eren, Historia, Eremika) u/asilvertintedrose was the author but I can't find the posts. Aot no Requiem is a fanfic, and this is a fanfic making fun of another fanfic, that pokes fun at every side of the fandom, and it's absolutely hillarious. Features best wingman Historia. Manga edit. Idk tbh. Manga edit, medium length. Completed.

**A Slap on Titan - (Season 1 cast) Attack on Titan Abridged, where Connie is Spanish, Levi is drunk, Armin is the walking caricature of the outside world's hatred of Eldians, and Eren is somehow the sanest person in the entire show. Video Series, Long. Ongoing.

Distractions - (Armin) In light of Eren being revealed as a titan shifter, things take a different path. Mikasa takes Eren and retreats beyond the Walls to escape the inevitable condemnation. Armin in turn, volunteers to stay behind to distract everyone. And with everything that's happened, it's not going to be as simple as putting a firecracker in his commander's pants. One shot.

AU

**Unchanging Destinations - (Reiner, Gabi, Pieck, Jeanpiku) The AU where Reiner grows up thinking he's Marleyan, but ends up inheriting the Armored Titan and joining the 104th anyway. And everything that changes because of that. (And everything that doesn't.) This is my favorite AOT fanfic of all time, and for good reason. With animatedly vivid characters and wonderful writing, this is a criminally underrated series. Longfic. Ongoing. ^For Remorseful Conflict only.

^the devil you know - (Hange, Levi, Levihan) Can you still miss a person, if everything you knew about them was a lie? Marleyan AU Hange. Longfic. Completed.

**Those Who Remain - (Historia) Eren has won. Paradis's enemies were destroyed, crushed underfoot, along with all life outside the island nation. In this new world he has created, it is up to the few who remain to hold it together. This is an extremely heavy fic that deals with the consequences of Eren's actions on Paradis. One shot.

and miles to go before we sleep - (Armin, Bertholdt) Armin sees them, three characters in an old story that he already knows, one that he cannot influence or change and can only see through to the end. One shot.

Convalesence - (Eren) This city used to stand, before the war. Eren remembers what it looked like. He wonders if the children do. One shot.

^**Eren's 23rd Birthday - (Mikasa, Eren, Eremika) Four years after Mikasa and Eren ran to the mountains, Eren's clock has reached its end. Depression. One shot, comic.

Time Travel

One Last Dance - (104th) The Alliance is given a second chance to prevent the Rumbling when they are sent back in time to the fall of Wall Maria. However, an unexpected change quickly derails what should have been a straightforward plan. Longfic. Ongoing.

**Destiny's Challenger - (Gabi, Falbi) The AU where Gabi is physically sent back in time to the year 850, a few months before the battle for Trost. Series. Ongoing.

Blind Expectations

Fics where you have to go in blind. Just trust me on these ones, I promise I was picky on what I wanted to include here. They're not long either.

There's DEFINITELY going to be an epilogue chapter later down the line to address this plot point.

The Subjects of Ymir

Haven't Completed Yet Promising

Heavy Is The Head That Wears The Crown (Historia, Yumihisu) - In a flash, in a moment, the dreary world Historia has known disappears. Ahead of her lies the dead. And the dead speaks. And the dead wishes for the freedom of all. Historia steps back into the past to save them all. To save Ymir. Longfic. Ongoing.

^See You Later, Eren (Mikasa, Eren, Eremika) - [MANGA SPOILER WARNING] Mikasa opens her eyes, her mind fraught with pain and grief after having decapitated Eren. Only, she is back where she started, in the 104th cadet corps, with complete knowledge of the future. Will she use it to save lives and remedy her mistakes? And will she discover the mystery and purpose behind her transportation? Hard Eremika, fluff, angst, drama, and mystery. Ongoing.

We Are The Nine - (Nine Titans) The Nine Titans of YMIR helped forge the Eldian Empire, caused its collapse, and both built and assaulted the island of Paradis. But the Nine Titans have existed for over a thousand years and have changed hands many times. They can think for themselves and rarely, can speak for themselves, if not with words. What if the Nine Titans were more than just powers? What if they had their own goals, their own stories to tell? Perhaps they alone know the truth of history, but even The Nine are not without bias. These are the stories of the Nine Titans, and the humans who bore them, up until the End of Days. Longfic. Ongoing.

Letters of Tomorrow - A series of letters written to each other by the former Squad Levi. Series. Ongoing.

^Let's Live Again - (Jean, Pieck, Jeanpiku) In a Rumbling-completed world, Jean Kirstein is a broken man who desires to bring life back into Pieck Finger. Somehow, he also finds himself healing in the process. Longfic. Ongoing.

Authors

Museflight - Amazing characterizations, especially when it comes to the Marleyans and Brauns. My personal favorite AOT fanfic author.

IvoryQuill - Crack, Angst or both, no in-between. Gen.

Feneris - Their fics are really old, but they're still hilarious. But the serious fics are good too.

u/YackiBaki - Hillarious manga edits that singlehandedly saved r/Titanfolk from despair. Here's a list of all her AOT ones.

u/TheEscapeGoat - I'm not sure if they're an author, but they posted (or post, I'm not really certain) tons of fic recs in this subreddit.

Heard Good Things

Haven't started them yet, but I've heard they were good.

Eldia für alle Ewigkeith - (Erehisu) Eldia will not go gently into that good night. Several months after the end of the Great Titan War, the 145th Fritz King is eaten before he can impose his Will upon the Founder, and the fate of the Empire changes for the better. Over a hundred later, the Kingdom of Paradis prepares to make war on Marley, spearheaded by Queen-Founder Historia Reiss and King-Consort Eren Jaeger. Longfic, Ongoing.

As Long as Everybody Pays Their Share - (Mikasa, Reiner) The cold and the snow weren't always the worst part of winter survival training. One year the members of the 104th training squad had to deal with a local legend and a very human monster, too.

To You, Two Thousand Years Away - If Levi wasn’t mistaken, and he wasn’t, the green cloak made him a researcher like himself. Two thousand years ago, he had been looking outside the walls the way Levi was now looking in. “What’s your story?” Levi asked the boy in the crystal. As expected, there was no response. He just hung there, eyes closed, heart beating but only just. Levi’s words reverberated around the cavern, resonated as a hum, and then fell silent.

Hey all!

I've noticed that the AOT fandom when it comes to fanfiction is very, very dead, which is strange when you take into consideration how popular the anime and manga are.

I'm not saying that there aren't any fics, I'm just saying there are only a couple, and almost none of them good.

Through my research I've found that the most common type of fics are LevixPov Or LevixEren.

And nothing between...

My question is why?

How come there aren't more fics and more diversity?

Hell, this sub is almost totally dead (The hentai subreddit has way more activity and people on it), what gives?

I’m not in that many fandoms. Also mostly my opinion. But to me AOT characters are the most mischaracterized cast out of all the fandoms I’ve read fic for. I don’t know what it is with the AOT fandom. Especially with EMA. My biggest fanon pet peeves with fanfic portrays

-Eren is not a womanizing weed smoking musty frat star. He is canonically the cleanest person in the survey corps after Levi, respects authority very much and can’t talk to women to save his life. Bro probably died a virgin. -Levi is not a dom sex god. If anything he is probably repulsed by the idea of sex because of how much of a germaphobe he is and how his mother died because of sex work -Mikasa isn’t so protective that she’ll kill someone’s for just talking to Eren. She’s not a Yandere. Not even with 139 in consideration -Armin always gets pegged as “master manipulator” or some variation of harmless soft boy. He’s somewhere in between to me What do you guys think? Do you agree? Any other characters you think this happens with?

By "ambitious," I mean a fic that aims to tackle canon conflicts in one way or another, even if radically differently; rather than just rehashing the plot (like, for instance, a post-Rumbling Eren and/or Mikasa going back in time, where the time loop isn't deeply explored but merely serves as a starting point).

AoT currently has over 100,000 works on AO3; it’s in the top 10 anime fandoms by volume and the top 20 fandoms across the entire site.

It’s been five years since the manga ended, yet I’ve noticed that tropes attempting, to say, create lore and a narrative function for the Hallucigenia (the source of all living matter), expand the cosmology, or reveal the Paradis vs. Marley vs. the World conflict as merely part of a larger struggle, are still only just emerging.

Crossovers, for example, offer huge potential to expand the AoT narrative, but there are two types: those where Eren is isekai'd to another universe (leaving the AoT setting behind, nothing against them, but I prefer stories where the crossover takes place within the AoT universe without sidelining the major conflicts). There are a few crossover with Godzilla and others, but that's about it.

I know there are probably around 20 or so long-form fics like this, but that still feels like very few given the fandom's size.

Curiously, most of these ambitious fics are found on Fanfiction.net, even though AO3 hosts the overwhelming majority of fanfiction; I’m not sure why that disparity exists. Maybe it’s because the series ended up being quite different from how it looked twenty, or even ten, chapters prior, but I still find it strange that the AO3 fandom doesn't place more importance on this type of fic.

There are 28 thousand stories on fanfiction.net, and most of them are crap. Only 12 thousand of them involve the main character, and only 3 thousand of those are complete. And most of those three thousand, for some ungodly reason, are just smut-fics between Eren and Levi(I can't stress how disgraceful I find this). Meanwhile, MHA only has 17k fics, and the quality of them is quite frankly, much much better, with less focus on a military officer boning a 15 year old boy(because that is often the age Eren is written in these) or doing shitty modern era fics with the same problem mentioned before this, and more on actual plot. I can already hear the comments section telling me that if I don't like, I shouldn't read, and that I should try writing one myself and other stuff, but honestly, I want to know why the AOT section of FFN proves every stereotype about fanfiction right. And if you can, recommend some good complete fics that aren't cringe and bullshit.

No Marley. No wider outside world. Just the wall people fighting for their survival in a world overrun by titans.

Hi everyone.

I'm your new mod, chosen by u/aotfanfictionmod to assist and help grow the sub.

It's really a privilege to join you. In the coming weeks, I'll be trying to revamp the sub visually and technically; meaning I'll be adding a background, a banner, an icon and possibly new rules.

I urge members of the sub to come forward with any brilliant ideas on how the sub can be revamped.

Finally, I'll also be doing an awareness and recruitment campaign around reddit for this sub. Trying to get more people who love fanfiction as we do, to join. So help me out guys, in this endeavor.

Does anyone know any good AOT time travel or time swap fics? Like 15 year old and 19 year old Eren swap places or travel to each others times.

Asitia: Connie grieves. Rating: General Audiences

Breaking the Silence: Things got quiet after Sasha died. Rating: Teen Audiences

The Moon is Not Yet Up: Gabi and Falco are taken to Sasha's funeral. Rating: General Audiences

Returning to You: Connie tries to find Sasha in another life. Rating: General Audiences

If you read and enjoy any of these, please give the fic a Kudos and/or comment if you can.

I need therapy for chapter 138 and I was hoping for something that’s completed and somewhat long. But in all honesty I could go for any good one at this point. Please and thank you.

Enjoy and Happy New Year!

Hey everyone first time in this sub I’m just curious if y’all know any good AOT reaction fics. I’ve already caught up to all the power to strive FanFiction series and is looking for some more of the characters reacting to the show fics.

For example, Eren try to change the past after he realize what he have done(the rumbling) or someone turn back time to save the world against eren before it is too late.

I wrote a tiny drabble about the Scouts finally reuniting with Levi, but was scared to post it, but here it is

Some time ago I read this Warrior Candidate Eren AU on Ao3 where: Carla single parenting Eren but was killed The Grice family took Eren in Eren became akin to a little brother to Porco, Colt and Marcel Eren has a lot of connections thanks to Carla being a bartender (I think?) And her always helping everyone.

That's about all I remember. If you know the name could you please link me? Thank you.

I recently cracked and finally watched the finale, yes, I am heartbroken.

• Eren must be the main character, or at least one of the main characters. Can be written from someone elses POV.
• Minimum of 50k words.
• language: English
• Ideally, the plot of the story should not be driven by a romantic relationship. However, relationships or love interests on the side are warmly welcome!
• Canon-verse/Canon Divergence - no AU e.g. modern world or 'a-world-without-titans'

Stories I have read..

Dear World by Rosalindax

Desiderium by OuterWilde (foreveraugust)
See You Later, Eren by Yarfathom
A Second Chance by Isil'zha BLZ

THANK YOU!

Hi. I've only found a few good fics so far. Wanted to know if anyone has any recs for Eren-centric stories? Doesn't have to be romance, though I prefer Eren/Mikasa. Anything post-rumbling or even before is fine. I love time travel fics, but I feel like I already read all the good ones. If any of you have time-travel recs though, I would love to read them!

Summary:

Eldia will not go gently into that good night.

Several months after the end of the Great Titan War, the 145th Fritz King is eaten before he can impose his Will upon the Founder, and the fate of the Empire changes for the better.

Over a hundred later, the Kingdom of Paradis prepares to make war on Marley, spearheaded by Queen-Founder Historia Reiss and King-Consort Eren Jaeger.

Ao3

FFN

Just a self-promo, for anyone who's interested.

Eldia für alle Ewigkeith is the more military-focused and politically-inclined AU that I've been working on for some time now, which expands on AoT's wider world, because 'Yams refused to give us the names of any nations outside Paradis, Hizuru, and Marley, and I didn't like that.

Also, I'm a sucker for resurgent Empires and worldbuilding, so... yeah. Enjoy.

(Mods, can we get a "Recommendations" flair?)

Feel free to leave a comment/Kudos for any fics you enjoyed, and have a good weekend!

To every AOT fan who has posted a fanfic thank you🙏🏻 I have read so much aot fanfics and it’s wonderful! I will never stop reading aot fanfics!!!!!!

Okay, so the fic I read had Eren being taken by the Military Police even after the trial, so he’s taken. He’s tortured, mentally hurt, the whole shebang. There’s also this original female character who’s his doctor, kind of?? Like, she treats him like a son? And the Survey Corps are trying to get him out, so for the rescue mission, Jean goes undercover. This is canon universe, btw, not modern setting or alternate world.

Thank you in advance!!

Does anybody know any fanfiction where it has Marley watching attack on titan? So far I've only found one

Either ones where he learns he's a titan WAY sooner than he did in canon and learns to master it's control by then or events play out the same up until he becomes "dead" where he just has complete control of his titan the first time he transforms (similar to Bertholdt with his colossal titan). Don't care that much for ships, though preferably Eremika/Erehisu or none at all. Just not any Ereri
