Thanks for reading my letter! Please don't be put off if I have more ideas for one ship/character than another - I can promise I am equally enthusiastic about all the ideas I've put down here! Also, my account is open for treats! My AO3 is platinum_firebird.

Moblit Berner/Hange Zoë

• I love their madcap scientist/exasperated realist dynamic, but I can’t help but think that under his sensible exterior, Moblit matches her freak in a way that makes him a perfect partner. I would love to see either Hange discovering this, or Outsider POV where someone else realises Moblit isn’t as straight-laced as he appears to be.
• I would LOVE anything that digs deeper into their titan research! I would love to see a Moblit who’s also very enthusiastic about discovering titan secrets, he just has more respect for operational safety and knows how to play it cool in front of people who think it’s ‘weird.’
• I would love to see either an AU where they both survive or where they reunite in the afterlife!
• Or the Make Me Cry prompt: Hange searching the battlefield to see if she can find anything remaining of Moblit to take home to bury. 

Onyankopon/Hange Zoë

• I just love anything about Hange’s endless curiosity meeting the boundless things to learn in the outside world, and Onyankopon having fun as her guide!
• There’s one fanart I saw of them ages ago riding a Vespa, which gave me the idea of them exploring a city together! 
• In the quiet moments, what bits of Paradis culture and society does Hange show him? What insights/stories/information about his own culture does Onyankopon give back? 
• In an AU where Hange survives, how do they work out their relationship post the end of the world?
• I would love Onyankopon taking Hange to his country and showing her the sights, too!

Reiner Braun/Jean Kirstein

• Bring me pain and focus on how the betrayal/reveal of Reiner’s true motivation hurts for Jean
• I live for these two tentatively figuring their relationship out post-canon, after everything they’ve been through. I love them both being oblivious to the fact that the whole thing was romantic until post-Rumbling! Then wondering how on earth they could’ve missed it. 
• I feel like these two are the type to make absolutely everyone around them miserable by awkwardly dancing around each other xD
• They weren’t nominated but I am always down for more Reiner & Gabi relationship and her take on his love life!  

Jean Kirstein/Hange Zoe 
Levi Ackerman/Jean Kirstein

Lumping these together bc I have similar ideas for them! 

• Pre the timeskip, I find the idea of Jean grappling with a devastating one-sided crush on one (or both) of his COs absolutely hilarious! They’re older, hotter, amazingly competent, so cool… Starry-eyed Jean is very funny to me xD I would prefer neither Hange or Levi reciprocate when Jean is underage, but feel free to have them notice and either tactfully ignore it or let him down gently (does Hange even notice? Have either of them had to deal with this before?)
• Post-canon, I love the idea of older, wiser Jean being either Hange or Levi’s scandalously young boyfriend xD (I think both of them are supposed to be mid-to-late 30s post timeskip, but feel free to make them 40+ if you want xD) This could go with the teenage crush, or it could be a new thing. What brings them together? I love relationships where the characters think “we shouldn’t” but can’t resist anyway. I also love a dynamic where the older character has a mild-to-bad complex about being “old and tired and undesirable now” (especially Levi after he got so beat up in the final season!) that meets the younger character’s “I am uncontrollably horny for you.” xD  

Erwin Smith/Hange Zoë
Levi Ackerman/Erwin Smith/Hange Zoë
Levi Ackerman/Hange Zoë
Levi Ackerman/Erwin Smith 

I love any combo of these three!!

• Exploring how they come together and learn how to work together: hell yes
• Exploring how they go from colleagues to lovers: also hell yes
• I will gladly take PWP/nothing but porn if you want to go that direction!
• I’m obsessed with people looking at him from afar thinking Erwin is Mr Dashing Handsome Prince Charming etc. and getting closer only to discover no, He Is Insane (affectionate). 
• For LeviHan specifically: pegging, or bondage with Levi being the one tied up…. hell yeah
• For Eruri specifically: I love exploration of how far Levi is willing to go for Erwin and where Erwin’s lines are for what he’ll ask from Levi - I imagine he has some flexible ones and some that are ironclad, and it would be interesting to see where they differ on those. Alternately, what makes these two have a serious disagreement, and how do they smooth things out again? 
• Erwin strikes me as a person who is Always On, always playing 5D chess in his head, even asleep. Let either Hange or Levi or both distract him from All Of That for a little while (give this poor man a break). 

Armin Arlert & Jean Kirstein & Connie Springer & Reiner Braun & Annie Leonhart & Pieck Finger

• This group looks ripe for Post Canon Shenanigans! Would love to see anything about them recovering from saving the world; rebuilding themselves, their relationships, and the world in the wake of unprecedented disaster. 
• I always find it hilarious when characters who are still in the tentative stage of rebuilding trust get thrust into some absurd or silly situation and are forced to work together to deal with it!
• Consider: Cuddle Pile. (Feel free to add any combo of Levi, Gabi, Falco, and Onyankopon to this!)
   

Sasha Blouse & Jean Kirstein & Connie Springer

• They are my fave platonic trio! Honestly, just them getting up to some silly antics together would make my day.
• Anything about how their friendship develops and they become ride-or-die for each other over the years!
• I had this hilarious idea of the three of them each suspecting the other has a crush on them, and doing a silly dance of teenage awkwardness trying to figure out who has crushes on who and how to let them down gently - only to realise that they’re all 100% in agreement about nothing romantic ever happening between them.
• I kinda HC Connie as aroace, so him working that out would be cute! Maybe Jean and Sasha swap confessions about their crushes (happy to have any pairing aside from Jean/Mikasa) and Connie realises he doesn't have a crush on anyone... and has never had one. 
   

Levi Ackerman & Mikasa Ackerman
Kenny Ackerman & Levi Ackerman

• I always feel like the show didn’t linger enough on Levi’s feelings in the wake of the reveal that Kenny was his uncle and that he was related to Mikasa. I would love to see Levi and Mikasa deal with that!
• Always here for any exploration of Kenny’s complicated mess of feelings surrounding Kuchel and Levi. What does he really feel like, seeing the adult Levi after all this time? I always wondered whether his line about “I think I know why you joined the Scouts” meant he’d been watching Levi’s career/life from the shadows and thinking about him. 
• Also always here for canon divergence AUs where Kenny sticks around for longer/takes on the dad role for real. What would it take to make him stay? 
• Also any AU where any combo of Levi and Mikasa and Kenny live together/Mikasa and Levi grow up together/they know Kenny their whole lives. 
• Bonus Eruri prompt: Whatever Levi and Kenny's relationship is, I find it hilarious if Kenny Does Not Approve of Levi being in a relationship with Erwin. This is especially funny to me if Levi and Kenny are enemies, and Kenny takes time away from their fight etc. to make his Disapproval known (*cough* especially if he implies Levi inherited Kuchel's terrible taste in men...) 
   

Eren Yeager & Hange Zoë

• The shift in their relationship from her yapping about titans all night and Eren humouring her, to their titan tests together, to that moment in the cell in the final season where he grabs her - it all makes me oh so happy and then so sad. I would love anything that explores their changing relationship over the years.
• How does he feel about her in the end? Is he torn up at her death, or did he legitimately grow to resent her? (I am up for either interpretation! Make me cry!)
• Did he speak to her in the Paths at some point like he did to Armin?
