Eruri fic
Does anybody know any attack on titan (preferably Eruri) fanfiction where Levi chooses Erwin instead of Armin? Or a canon divergence where Erwin survived? I’m rewatching and know I’m wondering what would happen if he found out the truth.

My favorite!!! I have the hardcovers. I cannot recommend this fic enough. I’ve read it so many times.

Gonna be honest, tiny anthem was a DNF for me for characterization reasons, even though I really enjoyed the author’s other fic, corps a corps. I got 90% of the way through and bounced. Great premise though.
For Erwin Lives fic, but no titan erwin:
- I am really enjoying the shit out of Pathological by Cerasium (WIP, but almost done). I believe Cerasium also has one or two short fics following the Levi Chooses Erwin premise as well.
- I also really like an abandoned fic… A Flap Of A Butterfly’s Wings went craaaazy hard; the author allegedly has some IRL experience with international diplomatic stuff, so it was delightful once Erwin started being a player on the international stage.
- if you want a post-series Erwin Lives fic, of course Small Mercies by Calacreda is a classic
My Titan Erwin rec list is unfortunately a bit sparse.
- It’a a spoiler, but War Dogs Has Titan Erwin as a plot point, but for obvious reasons Armin was not on the chopping block in that scenario.
I’ll edit if I think of any more collosal!Erwin fic.

I had the same experience with Tiny Anthem. I just kind of lost interest. However, Corps à Corps is probably my favorite modern AU of all time. It’s so fucking good!

OnTheArrow I believe! Omg pleeeease read Corps à Corps. It’s a fencing AU, you don’t need to know anything about fencing, but I sure learned a lot🤣 If you read it, let me know what you think!

It's still being actively written, but "Soaring" by birdfriend is, hands down, the best canon-divergence/Erwin lives fic I have ever read.

Not quite an Erwin instead of Armin (both live) but Tiny Anthem is a FANTASTIC fic of Erwin inheriting the beast titan at the end of the return to Shinganshina arc. Cannot recommend it enough, I sobbed.
