Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin)
After Season 1 (Warning: there will be spoilers.)

Levi's expression, his height, his number of unassisted titan kills; these are what make him famous. A glare is natural to receive from him, so no one is surprised when he never laughs or smiles. But just because he doesn't show emotions doesn't mean he doesn't have any. His heart has been broken and he is trying to heal, but is it even possible to heal your own heart?

Ecyn has been known for her size and determination. She is mocked for joining the Scouting Legion, but once Levi is assigned to train her, she begins to believe she really can be great.

As they get closer, they find that they might be just what the other needs. But if Levi is afraid of another heartbreak and Ecyn can't stand his emotionlessness, can they stay together long enough to make it impossible to separate?

***
A/N
The burn is so slow it doesn't end up happening at all. Just feel like I have to warn you if you're going in thinking Levi finds any kind of romantic love. Mutual respect, sure. Friendship, possibly. But somehow I wrote it into impossibility. That being said, plenty of people have enjoyed this book, clearly. And though it is so very much not canon, it's probably still good. I like it still.

Be Kind (Doctor Reader x Levi Ackerman) by greymaidenn
46 parts Complete Mature
Years of hard work landed you the crème de la crème lifestyle a doctor within the Walls could ever dream of - a career in Wall Sina. Unfortunately, the snotty ways of the elites left you feeling unfulfilled, prompting you to seek something more meaningful. You signed up as Military Doctor in the Survey Corps, fighting Titans and healing soldiers. Along the way you made new friends, enemies, and caught the the eye of a particular aloof man in the Corps - Captain Levi himself. Assigned as his personal 'sleep therapist' by Erwin, the Captain seems to be quite taken by your intelligence and witty charms. An unexpected relationship and tension grows, and you found yourself falling for him. Over time, you question your identity and wonder, are you a doctor first and a soldier second? Or are you willing to go against your values as a doctor and take lives instead of saving them? How far are you willing to bend your moral compass to do things for the 'greater good'? - Contains mature content, 18+ smut. Canon-compliant but loosely follow plot. Graphic depictions of death, medical scenes. Original story by me (greymaiden) on Archive Of Our Own (AO3) with 65k+ views and top 1-2% on Levi Ackerman x Reader tag. First published on AO3 on 11 August 2020. This is my Wattpad account and I have crossposted the story here to make it accessible to Wattpad readers.

|Discontinued, unfortunately| You are Y/n L/n of the Survey Corps. You joined the trainee squad when you were 12, ranked first, and joined the Scouting Legion at 14. You are now 16 years old and you have a mission to do with Erwin and Mike. Oh, did I mention that you're a Sergeant?! Yes, well Keith Shadis was the commander at the time and he was extremely impressed with your leadership skills and quick thinking during an expedition when he was incapacitated. Always knowing what's best to do to avoid any casualties. Many people disagreed that a person so young could handle the responsibility of being a Sergeant, and be able to shoulder the many deaths that would fall under your command. But you proved them wrong on EVERY expedition, because no one has ever died under your command. Yet. Basically, this is your story about how you met Levi, and so on. #1 in Kirchstein Highest Ranking #8 in Arlert Highest Ranking #16 in attackontitan Highest Ranking #21 in jaeger Highest Ranking P.s, I don't really know how the ranks go in the Survey Corps, so I'm just going to go with this; Sergeant L/n is everyone's superior except the Commander's, because she's a rank lower. That isn't how the ranks go in the Legion, let alone the ACTUAL army (depending where you live), but it's fanfiction. (I own nothing!) (Everything and everyone belongs to their rightful owner!) (I only own the plot and my OC's!) (You own yourself!) (Warning! Blood! Cursing!)

~Levi X Bullied Reader ~(F/N) (L/N) is the last girl any Scouting Legion Squad Leader would want to have on their ranks. She is very timid, shy, quiet, and a bit clumsy, but most of all, she is weaker compared to other Cadets. Despite all her flaws, she has compassion and she is willing to put others before her in times of need. She also secretly admires the infamous Captain Levi Ackerman of the Special Operations Squad, the team which her best friend, Petra Ral, once belonged to. ~Levi Ackerman only cares about two things with regards to his new recruits; their ability to clean and their worth in battle. It doesn't matter if you are selfless, if you have none of those traits he is looking for, you are not welcome to join his squad. He is also very devastated with the loss of his one true love, Petra Ral, the most clever and reliable soldier he knew. ~One very unfortunate event occurred and ever since then, Levi hated (F/N). Despised her. But, one particular moment happened in which Levi was left pitiably helpless and severely weakened. One twist of fate forced him to rely on the one person he detests the most, (F/N). ~What will happen to the two? Will Levi change his attitude towards the bullied girl, or will he carry on hating her for the rest of his life? Will (F/N) strive to meet Levi's standards, or will she just give up and succumb to her own weakness; her inability to face her fears? ~Once again, any images and videos used in this story do not belong to me. They are only used to portray certain chapters. They belong to their respective owners. ~This story may contain spoilers, so be warned. ~All the characters, except for (F/N) (L/N), belong to none other than the great Isayama Hajime - san, himself. So is the whole respective universe that is Shingeki No Kyojin / Attack On Titan.
Tsk. So toxic (Levi Ackerman X Reader) by jlrppr
18 parts Complete Mature
You come from Marley on one of the ships to inspect the "Heaven". But instead of investigating, you end up being held by the survey corps (as an important source of information) where you meet their weird captain. Of course, you two fall for each other. But in this story, Levi denies his feelings for you as long as possible, then he gets jealous AF when you talk to anyone and then he learns to trust you but you betray his trust and break his heart with some unforgivable actions... Or maybe you both are in adult relationships and that's just how things are in real life? Also you are equal to Levi here. You're not his soldier, so no salutes and penalties. Levi has practically no power over you. And it drives him craaazyyy I know many of you think that dating Levi Ackerman would be the best thing in life but I honestly think that it would come with many-many complications. Well, sure, he's a complicated man. Also, very toxic. Furthermore, dear reader, you will encounter such people as Commander Hanji and Armin Arlert, of course. There'll be some titans killed, some blood spilled, some tears shed. Can't promise you a happy ending, though, but we'll see how it goes. I don't own any rights here. I don't own the characters from "Attack on Titan", nor do I own any of the Taylor Swift's songs mentioned here (they felt right for the mood, so go check them out). This is just a playful fanficton. Also this is mature. The story contains mentions of blood, violence, strong words and some adult stuff. And it might also contain some names written incorrectly but hey! It's AOT. You've got used to it by now, right? Attack on Titan Just losing my mind over Levi Ackerman

18 parts Complete Mature

The longer you live like animals, the easier you turn into them. Living in walls was nothing new to you. Being from the underground you knew what it was like to be caged, to know there was a line, invisible or not, that you couldn't cross. You strived to be free of the underground, to see life on the surface. With a scarring past, you'd never had much going for you. That is until you learned how to fight and win. Once you had that skill, you quickly fought to the top, where the scouts located you. Now, fighting for a new team in a new world, you're given a fresh start, a way to forget the horrible labs and abandonment of the forgotten city. Again you're forced to start from the bottom, slowly chipping your way back to the top. You soon find yourself confronting your past, and looking into the future. Eventually, you find yourself coming face to face with a stoic hero who comes with a mysterious yet familiar past. As you learn to trust each other, you find your own impenetrable façade crumbling like the walls, all at the fault of one man - Levi Ackerman. {Book One} **Warning: This story contains some darker themes as it progresses, and is not for those who may be bothered by such.** ***Quick Disclaimer-I own only my own characters and plot line in this story, and have no ownership over AOT or its characters!***
