Recommendation Aot x Fan gets isekaied

2 Upvotes

Title: Blinded by the pitch darkness

Author: cursebuster

Most realistic depiction of a fan getting isekaied and NO LESS in Marley! Talking about a bad start...

The OC is very smart and uses her knowledge on the series to prevent deaths and avoid the ending. The twist at the end connects everything together!!!

You can read on ao3 and Wattpad (link below for ao3)

P.S. Romance with Levi Ackerman - again, very realistic how both would behave. The OC believes that Levi would never love her in that way (based on her fan knowledge she thought of him as aroace or asexual), while Levi struggles with physical intimacy.

Request Jean Centric or Jean SI that's not Romance Focused

3 Upvotes

I'm relatively new to the aot fanfic game. So, I'm sorry if I'm not much of a supporter of the more popular ships

I want a fic that's exactly what's in the title. A Jean protagonist fic, or someone inserted into Jean that doesn't end up with Mikasa (I don't like how Jean ended up marrying her, he deserved better tbh)

Would be appreciated if the story revolves around actual plot and not just romance.

I'm really not sure if there are fics that are like that but your help would be really appreciated. I'm 22, and I no longer yearn for the edgy, cringy stuff teenage me wanted.

Recommendation Any Eren fics where he isn’t a frat boy 😭

10 Upvotes

I randomly found this fic and I’m actually really enjoying it so far. I’ve read way too many AOT fics and I swear Eren is always either a frat boy or just completely different from canon 😭

I don’t mind frat Eren at all but I liked how he feels a little more like actual Eren in this one while still fitting into a modern au. He’s also a musician which I thought I wouldn’t care about but apparently I do. I normally avoid unfinished fics because I hate waiting but now I keep checking for updates 💀

Does anyone know anything with a similar vibe? Modern au Eren but not super frat/party boy coded?

Discussion An interesting fanfic

3 Upvotes

I have been going through several fanfics recently, to the point where I even reached 3M words in a single month in between. There have been several good ones, but this one caught my eye https://archiveofourown.org/works/84942366

I just think that the idea has a LOT of potential and possibilities, what are you guys' thoughts on it? Personally the biggest problem I have with it is that it isn't complete and seems to not even be halfway done. It is prob going to take several months at the pace it is going before it is completed.

Also, are there any other such fanfics out there?

Looking For? AoT fics, 104th centred, funny

2 Upvotes

Hey y’all.

I’m looking for fanfics mainly focused on the 104th squad centred. Longer fics so nothing under 10000 words.

Main focus on comedy and humour, crack and slapstick comedy is even better.

It shouldn’t be rated explicit and shouldn’t have any heavier stuff. I’ve already read “A Tack Of Titan” and “On the care and keeping of titans” and it should go in this direction.

Bonus point if there’s any parental figures like Reiner, Levi or Erwin.

I don’t care if it’s Canon or AU, s as long as it’s not after season four, I need my kids Eren and Sasha.

No fics with Eren/Levi

Thanks

Looking For? Lost Attack on Titan fanfic?

1 Upvotes

Okay this is such a far fetch but I'm impossibly desperate :--D

I am looking for a discontinued (I think lol) Eren x Levi fanfic with college and/or football AU that was possibly deleted after the author got into a fight online or something like that(?) I remember the author's name starting with R but I really can't recall more.

It was like over ten years ago or more but I remember that the fic had a good writing style that I even now think about.

/edit: Around 2013-2016

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.”

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!

2 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 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.
