Summary
'People have all sorts of notions about his and Erwin’s relationship. He’s Erwin’s guard dog; his attack dog; his lapdog – it’s all been thought. Much of it’s been said.'
-
Levi's aware of the gossip. He's aware of how he and Erwin come across. He plays into it. But public and private dynamics are two different things, and Levi wants to remind Erwin of that.

Summary
“Levi,” and it’s almost nothing. It would be so easy to pretend not to have heard. Levi thinks maybe that is what Erwin wants him to do. But he turns anyway, sees that Erwin has followed him, partially, suspended between Levi and his desk.
Levi might be sick. The light of the lamp is making molten gold out of Erwin’s hair. He is so beautiful it is hateful. He is breathing like he has been running.
“There is another – I need to.” He pauses, clears his throat. Tries again. “There is something else I need to discuss with you. Tell you.” His eyes are so wide. Levi is shaking now.
“It can wait,” he whispers, like it’s a warning. It is a warning.
---
The night before the Survey Corps set off to retake Shiganshina, Erwin has something to tell Levi. For the first time in years, words fail him.

Summary
Levi is standing at the side of the rink, tying his skates up with practised movements. At this time of night, it’s deserted. He's always loved the feeling of being the only one there—just him, the ice and his thoughts. He approaches the rink, takes off his blade covers, and steps onto the ice.
He inhales deeply, eyes close. Deep breaths, in and out.
And starts skating.
---
Levi Ackerman was forced to quit skating when his mother died.
Erwin Smith is a Figure Skating legend who was forced to retire when he lost his arm in a car accident.

Or, the Yuri on Ice AU no one asked for.

Summary
"Levi misses Erwin in the margin between sleeping and waking. He thinks about Erwin when he steps out of a hot bath into cold air. He imagines Erwin’s new life, his new vocation, his new family, when the seasons change, or when he blows the candles out, or now, as the sun sets. The only space he does so is a space of a threshold. It does not feel good or bad. It does not feel happy or sad. Levi realises now, however, that this is not the same as it feeling nothing."
Six years after the War ends and they part ways, Levi finds himself at Erwin's door again.

Summary
There are boats being cast in the unknown, truths being uncovered;
but Levi knots the bolo tie in his fingers over and over,
a mooring for things that would never survive the sea.Bookmarked by crownlessk_ing

Summary
When Erwin Smith dies, it’s in the most ridiculous way ever. He slips and falls in the shower, and that’s how Death, cloaked in grey and wielding a scythe, finds him: naked and destined for eternal damnation in Hell. It’s certainly not the greatest demonic origin story ever, but it’s the one Erwin is stuck with.
Or
In which Erwin Smith is bound for hell, but he just can’t seem to get a certain Grim Reaper out of mind.

Summary
Something is very wrong in Paradis, a place where dead things linger and nothing is as it seems.
When Erwin arrives in the quiet countryside town, longing to leave his past behind, he only has one goal: To uncover the mystery surrounding the infamous Magnolias, a family haunted by death and tragedy, and possibly more sinister things. During his investigations into the supernatural, he encounters Levi, a local with a grudge against tourists, who knows more than he lets on and seems to be running from his very own ghosts.
As Erwin gets closer to Levi and begins to uncover the twisted history of the long empty Magnolia Mansion, strange things start happening, and he becomes inextricably tangled in the town's net of mysteries. Soon, Erwin isn't sure if there is a way out, or if the things that lie unseen will devour him before he can find the answers he's looking for.

Summary
'He hears him say “Do not tell a soul, Levi” and wants to laugh. Tell anyone? To what end? So that others have the images that Levi now has running through his head; of grabbing hands and harness marks, hard words and soft lips, of lies upon lies upon lies in a desperate attempt to get to the truth?'
Levi begins to notice Erwin leaving HQ alone and not returning until the dead of night.
Slow-burn, pre-show Eruri.

Summary
Erwin Smith was willing to give up his life, so he didn't really mind losing his arm. Losing his mind, however, was more than he could possibly bear. His resulting isolation was crafted, deliberate, and meant to be permanent.
He never could have planned for the voiceless boy that the storm washed ashore...even if he wasn't quite convinced the boy was real.

Building on the Past by LostCauses (Anteros)
Fandoms: Shingeki no Kyojin | Attack on Titan
30 Sep 2019
Tags
Summary
The construction site extended for a whole block from the subway station to Survey Corps headquarters, as it grew day by day, the noise and disruption increased, and Levi’s irritation with it. The only bright spot on his clouded horizon was the foreman of the site. Tall, built and athletic, the man had the kind of broad shoulders and muscular arms that made Levi weak. Dressed in tight shirt and wide tobizubon pants, he was the embodiment of every sordid fantasy that Levi had ever allowed himself to indulge in.
Levi takes a shine to the foreman of the construction site next door to his office.
