Summary:
Armin Arlert has spent years confined to the quiet routine of his bedroom, his world reduced to four walls and a window that leads nowhere. With a body that betrays him at every turn and parents who smother him with concern, he’s long since stopped hoping for more.
His world is small, until Eren Jaeger moves in next door.
Loud, persistent, and impossible to ignore, Eren is everything Armin isn’t. But Armin knows better than to get attached. His body has limits. His heart has defenses. Eren has wounds.
Yet, Armin can't remember the last time he felt this alive.
--
Or, that one Eremin neighbors-to-friends-to-lovers fic where Armin's an exhausted, chronically ill recluse, and Eren teaches him how to live and love again.
(The beginning's a bit rough but it gets better I promise)
eremin au in which armin is messing around with computer viruses in a vm (virtual machine) when he runs eren.exe, nothing happens so he figures it just opened something in the background. when he checks it on virustotal they have no info on it.
when he closes the vm he finds a file on his main computer again named eren.exe, even though he knows better he runs the file and this time a cartoon eren appears on his screen and starts moving his files around.
he uses the notepad app to communicate with eren and they start becoming friends.
basically armin falls in love with eren even though he is a computer virus ❤️
You may have a post about this already but, in your Eremin au, did Mika ever have a crush on Eren, and if so, how did that all reconcile to the now?
Believe it or not, Nat, I've actually never elaborated on this until now!
So in my AU, Mikasa's parents did still die and Eren saved her but it was Levi who took her in since he was 24 when it happened. Even though he was still young and getting his own life back together from his past gang life, he couldn't turn the kid away and Kuchel also helped with raising her (Kuchel is also alive in this au bc in this house we give Levi happiness)
But Mikasa still had a very close relationship with the Jeagers and Levi lived just close enough to them where Mikasa could interact with Eren and Armin pretty regularly. She also switched schools to theirs after moving in with Levi. So Mikasa did still develop an attachment to Eren, but thanks to still having family in the form of Levi and Kuchel and getting some therapy early on, a lot of her co-dependency towards Eren was shut down pretty quick.
Which, side-note, Grisha was a doctor but I have no idea if he canonically was able to help Mikasa through the psychological turmoil she would have gone through after that day. I'm assuming not since he was pretty busy doing other doctor stuff and, well let's face it the man can barely deal with his own issues. 🙄
There were times when EFA Mikasa thought she had a crush on Eren, but eventually realized she did see him more like a brother. Plus she's like the captain of the Eremin ship and all through middle school she was constantly praying to any god who would listen that they get over their gay panic and just be boyfriends already. Then she and Jean started going out near the start of college and they got hitched like a year or so after Eremin's wedding!🥰🥰🥰
And ever since the kids were born, she and Eren have their own little stay-at-home parenting club of two that consists of them shooting the shit and keeping their heads on a swivel for what new chaos their kids get up to that day. XD
Teen Beach Movie Inspired Eremin Au Because Why Not
This will be my second time writing this AU because tumblr decided to crash mid-way through attempt number one. If we crash again I will be going bonkers.
-------------------------
Cruisin for a Bruisin came up on my Spotify liked songs today and then this AU was made. Basically, if you’ve ever seen the movie Teen Beach Movie you’ll know what I’m talking about. If not, all you need to know is that there is a Capulet-Montague-style rivalry between the Bikers and Surfers in the town. It’s set in the 50s. It is literally the same thing here. Just some funny teenagers who like biking and surfing.
SO. Eren and Mikasa are bikers. We already Knew this. The two of them do fun tricks together, even though Mikasa outshines Eren by a mile. Eren has always thought the rivalry thing was stupid. But, biking was fun! Mikasa just kind of followed Eren along with everything because. Eren + Bike is just asking for him to get hurt. And he does, a lot.
Armin works at Carla’s Cafe, the cafe owned by Carla Jaeger. It serves as the neutral ground between the Bikers and the Surfers. He’s about the only employee there. He’s pretty close with Carla (but not Eren.) In addition to that, he also surfs on the down-low. He isn’t officially affiliated with the Surfers and he doesn’t want to be. Armin thinks the rivalry is dumb, but surfing is fun. Most of the time he brings his board to the cafe and hides it in the back.
It all starts out after Eren gets into an argument with his dad (all my homies hate Grisha Jaeger.) He just dips and decides to go out biking because he needs to blow off steam. Doing something is better than letting his anger sit. One time he let that happen and by the end of the day there was a hole in his wall. Eren decides to go down to the beach. It’s around the evening and he assumes nobody that would give him any trouble would be there. Plus, he knows a spot. It’s secluded and great for him to just,,, do donuts and whatever he wants in the sand. Off-roading has a danger that he loves.
Turns out- that same place is where Armin surfs. It’s secluded and the waves there aren’t all that bad- it’s perfect. Eren sees Armin, Armin sees Eren. At first the two of them are apprehensive about one another because of the whole Surfer Biker thing. Eventually they figure out that one another is chill. Armin earns the nickname “Beach Boy.” The age-old “Ar” and “Min” eventually come into play, too. Armin just sticks to calling Eren Eren, sometimes using “Er” and “Ren” if the time feels right. There’s no real rhyme or reason to it, though.
The two of them talk for awhile. Eren figures out that Armin goes to that same spot almost every night. Eren keeps making up excuses as to why he shows up. At first Armin is like “ah, okay. Well, hi :)”. But, it takes next to no time to figure out that Eren is just lying and pulling things from his ass. The excuses get more far out each time. It isn’t all that hard to put together. Ofc he doesn’t mind, though. Eventually Eren convinces himself that Armin just has to meet Mikasa. I’d imagine the exchange would go something like this:
“Eren, who is Mikasa again?”
“My sister. Look, Min, you guys will get along great!”
“Yeah but isn’t she also a Bik-”
“She doesn’t give a shit about that.”
“I’m the most boring person kno-”
“Stop making up excuses I’m bringing her here.”
“Then why did you even ask me?”
“Felt like the thing to do. Anyways. Me, you, Mikasa, here tomorrow at 7. ‘Kay?”
“I-... Yeah? Sure...that’s fine.”
AND BOOM EMA.
Mikasa and Carla are the best wingmen Eren could ask for, though. They’re preceptive. They Know. Armin comes into work with more energy than he ever has. Eren keeps dipping on certain things to go to that small spot on the beach. Mikasa talks to her mom, her mom lets her know how a certain employee has been more chipper than ever. Mikasa shares her reports. They figure out whats going on before Eren and Armin figure out whats going on. Mikasa and Eren visit Carla’s Cafe one day. His mom walks up to him and is like:
“Eren :) guess whos on shift today:)”
“Literally who?”
“:)”
“Don’t you just have the one employ-”
Out walks Armin in his lil uniform. Eren is once again swept off of his feet.
I just Really Like this AU idea. Imagine Eren taking Armin on bike rides. Armin trying to teach Eren how to surf. Eren being cheesy whenever he visits Carla’s cafe and Armin has to serve him. Armin gives Eren bigger slices of pie, extra of his favorite food, whatever he wants. I just. At some point in time Armin starts bringing the books that he’s brought up in conversation so often to the beach. He reads to Eren when neither of them want to do much of anything (although I imagine that Armin still brings his surf board and Eren brings his bike but both things just sit there, unused.)
If anyone wants to discuss this AU please hmu I have so many thoughts. Or, if you want to add on, please feel free to and lmk because just. 50s Biker and Surfer Au go brrrrr.
