Ein Riese, der Fliegen Wollte
by Closet_Cleaner
He needn't have worried. The small one was strong. He sees the human many more times since then. It seems as if the herd doesn't venture out without it. He wonders if that one is the pack-leader. It seems logical, but humans are not always creatures of logic. He forces back memories of that one,
This Cruel Beautiful World
by MaoNome
Set three years after the Rumbling during the Ambassadors' return to Paradis. Hello everyone! The reason I never actually wrote anything on SnK until Isayama put the word "END" on the manga is that I respect his work so much; for me, he is truly The Genius of our time. This fic will follow canon. Ma

The Intern
by Lutte
Armin was convinced that it was the opportunity of a lifetime, but Eren just saw it as just another chance to fail. Nothing good could possibly come out of an internship in a stuffy office at Survey Corporation. Eren would have been content to sit and watch the remainder of his senior year pass him
The Little Titan Café
by pocketsizedtitan
Just another cliche AU in which Eren works as a barista in his mother’s café, specializing in latte art. And then there’s Levi, who’s not exactly your typical patron, because, well, he’s blunt and rude (which Eren supposes isn’t that much different from regular customers) but mostly he just confuses
Intentions
by unearthly_obsession
Historia isn't exactly Eren's biggest fan, but as a member of His gang she is under his direct orders to serve every whim or face the consequences.

Of Tea and High Buildings
by CaptainDegenerate
Levi releases a deep exhale, characteristically stoic but clearly out of his depth. He crosses one leg over the other and gives you a cool, unreadable look. "I'm saying that, of all the women around me, you're the least insufferable one." Your answer is polite yet chilly. "Is that a complim

by murakamism
So now maybe Levi’s got a rock collection, but it’s perfectly reasonable, you know.For one, they’re all from Eren. Eren in his titan form, because for some reason the boy has yet to give him one in his human form. Still, Levi doesn’t mind. Maybe there’s something instinctual in titans—giving away pr
