History Fanfic / LostParadis

** She is also just as brave/bold as Eren, willingly hugging him in public despite the taboo associated with it.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: A variation. Eren awakens Annie four years eariler when she woke up after the Rumbling began.

* AdaptationalKarma: After she reawakened, Annie faced no punishment for all the Scouts she killed on the 57th expedition, not even Levi's squad. While this can be partly justified with everything that was happening at the time, Annie is never called out for all the horrible actions she took. Whereas Reiner & Bertolt were more remorseful were repeatedly lambasted and mauled for their actions (with Bertolt getting outright killed by Armin). Here, Eren delivers some much well deserved karma to Annie while calling her out for all the horrible things she did.

* AdaptationalSexuality: Eren is bisexual, being interested in men and women. Reiner was in a relationship with Eren and he enters into one with Bertolt at the end of the story, it is unknown if he had a crush on Historia/Crista like in cannon, or if he did it was just part of his persona.

* AdaptationalBadass: Zig-zagged. Here, Zeke manages to kill Levi when he attacks him and then he manages to kill Mikasa. However, for the former its stated that the main reason Zeke was able to kill Levi was because the later was overconfident, hindering his abilities. In Mikasa’s case, Eren distracted Mikasa long enough for him to grab a sword and strike her.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Magath had to prevent himself from laughing when Eren explains why he bound & gagged Annie.

* SuddenHumility: Eren loses a lot of his pride for the sake of surviving in Marley. Said chapter is actually named “Losing Pride”.

* AndThisIsFor: Eren gives this to Annie for all the people she's killed during her attempts to capture him.

* AndThisIsfor...

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance:

* FantasticRacism: Like the Eldians in the internment zone, Joseph and Anna had this view towards the Paradisians. However, they put this aside after a stern talk from Zeke, as insulting Carla would not endear them to Eren, especially after the trauma he went through.

* GroupHug:

* {{Fainting}}: Mikasa's death, along with the events of the day caused Eren to have this.

*** So when Zeke confronts Eren, he's in good condition and successfully manages to kidnap Eren (after killing Mikasa) and take him to Marley.

* IHaveNoDaughter: Genevieve’s Marleyean mother disowns her for loving Eren. Her father remains fully supportive of her though.

** At the end, Eren manages to convince Ymir that her relationship with King Fritz was not love and she gives full control of the Founder to Eren. In cannon, she grants Eren her power after he sets her “free” and she only relinquishes the power of the Titans completely after seeing Mikasa kill Eren, inspiring her to break away from her love of Fritz.

* MagneticHero: Despite Eldians and Marleyeans alike initially being warry of Eren due to being an “island devil”, he inevitably wins over both sides by using his powers to aid Marley’s wars. He even manages to convince the other Warriors to help him lead a revolution against Marley’s government. After he takes over, he makes Eldians and Marleyeans equal while fixing relationships with the countries that Marley annexed.
* MalignedMixedMarriage: Eren initially breaks up with Genevieve because their relationship causes the latter to be looked down by her fellow Marleyeans. Subverted, after they are married they become famous as the couple that got together despite the hardships.
* MyGreatestFailure: Eren for not being able top save Mikasa.
* NamedInTheAdaptation: Erens paternal grandparents are given the names Joseph and Anna.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Even after Eren takes control of Marley to stop their attacks on Paradis island, improves conditions of Eldians in the rest of the world, and sends Hizuru to Paradis to help them advance technologically, Erwin still blackmails Eren into returning to Paradis so he could eat him and take the Founders power. Erwin insists that it is in the best interest of the island but Eren calls him out on just wanting power for himself.

* PragmaticVillainy: Marley doesn't just feed Eren to a Warrior Candidate when he is brought to them because none of the ones they have are strong enough to handle his power. So they try convincing him to be loyal to Marley. Eren agrees to stop trying to return to Paradis after they promise not to attack his island any more if he does. Then they brainwash him somewhat into swearing loyalty to them by convincing him that he can have a better life in Marley. But what really does it for Eren is making new friends and bonding with his family in Libero.
* RageBreakingPoint: When Reiner reveals the truth about Marcos’ death, Eren starts beating Reiner in a fit of rage.

* RelationshipUpgrade: Eren and Zeke become alot closer (to say the least) than they were in cannon and they genuinely bond over their resentment towards their father. Eren and Gabi also form a brother-sister like bond, a massive upgrade from canon where Gabi tries to kill him. Eren also becomes genuine friends with Porco and Pieck while keeping (most) of his friendships from the island intact.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: The higher ups have Reiner purposely provoke Reiner to test Erens loyalty to Marley by seeing if he still cares about his friends on the island. Eren fails after he beats up Reiner for admitting that he killed Marco. Later, Eren was sent to retrieve Annie from Paradis to test his loyalty to Marley. He succeeds this time.
* SparedByAdaptation: Erwin survives Zeke’s attack, unfortunately (see AdaptationalVillainy for more details). Berthodt is never fed to Armin (who only suffered second degree burns from his attack). Sasha survives her bullet wound, and Eren never starts the Rumbling (sparing himself, Zeke, and 80% of the world including Magath, Hange and anyone else that died in cannon during season 4).

* BittersweetEnding: Mostly sweet. [[spoiler: Eren suffers [[LaserGuidedAmnesia anmesia and forgets his life until the day before the titans invaded his home]]. However, he still has recollections of his loved ones, including his wife and daughter and continues to live a happy life with them. Jean finds new love in Pieck, Reiner in Bert, Gabi and Falco, Sasha and Niccolo, etc. Eren still dies young but he manages to live to his fourties and dies a successful man who helped all Eldians everywhere, leaving his daughter to carry on his work for him.]]

* {{Foil}}: Eren to Genevieve, his OC love interest. Eren has dark hair, Genevieve is blonde. Eren is Edlian, Genevieve is Marleyan. Eren is a BloodKnight, Genevieve is a religious AllLovingHero. They seem completely different, but…

* AdaptationalHeroism: Here, Eren never starts the Rumbling and even marries a Marleyean girl.

** Also, since Magath knew that Reiner's father was Marleyan, that would imply that while marriage isn’t legal, hacing kids with an eldian is not a crime (at least not one punishable by death) here.
* AdaptationalSexuality: Eren is bisexual, being interested in men and women. Reiner was in a realtionship with Eren and he enters into one with Berthodt at the end of the story, it is unknown if he had a crush on Historia/Crista like in cannon, or if he did it was just part of his persona.

** While Erwin was a morally complex character he ultimately decided to abandon his selfish desire to learn the truth and sacrificed his life to beat the Beast Titan. Here, Erwin survives and he ends up becoming a FallenHero who is willing to do morally ambiguous things to retrieve Eren (or rather the coordinate) back. He sends Connie, Jean and Sasha to kidnap Genevieve to coerce Eren into coming back to Paradis and later ties taking the Founders Power himself.
** Downplayed for Grisha. In the canon fourth season it was revealed that his actions (including taking the Founder and giving it to Eren) were due to manipulations of Erens future self. Here, Eren never does anything like that with his power so Grisha’s actions are his own. When meeting his mother in the Paths (which would allow her to see everything) she tells Eren that his father set him on the path that he went on. Eren decides that he is mad at his father for giving him the Attack Titan at such a young age but reaffirms to Zeke that he still loves him and believes he loved them both.
* AfterlifeAntechamber: After being tortured by a sadistic Marleyean doctor in an attempt to break him, Eren’s mind goes to the paths where he see’s the spirits of his mother and Mikasa who urge him to accept his new life in Marley and do whatever it takes for him to survive.
* AllLovingHeroine: Genevieve Beauregard is a half-Marleyean half-Alish girl who lives in Libero with her parents running a flower shop. She was taught by her father that everyone is a child of god and holds no discrimination towards Eldians. She even falls in love with Eren despite him also being an “island devil”.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Eren is briefly convinced by Marley that his friends back in Paradis were never really is friends. Even then he refuses to do anything to put the island in jeopardy. He gets over this entirely later.
* BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: Eren breaks up with Genevieve after he is informed by her father that she is being harassed for having a realtionship with an Eldian. Though even after this she continues to be harassed since they all still know that Genevieve is an Eldian Sympathizer and eventually they decide to get back together anyways.
* CharacterDevelopment: Eren becomes less revenge driven and more rational after coming to Marley and learning the full picture. He apologizes to Reiner and Bert for his attitude towards them and he learns to be less prideful and stubborn to get by.

* DefectorFromDecadence: Part of Eren’s brainwashing by Marley involves convincing him that his friends back in Paradis were never really his friends. The doctor torturing him specifically has Reiner remind Eren about when neither Connie or Jean tried helping him with his 3D gear when he and Bert did. Despite this, Eren continues to care about his friends on the island and his motivation for serving Marley is because they promised to leave the island alone. Thankfully he later gets over his brainwashing.

** Levi loses against the Beast Titan (due to lack of caution from overconfidence) and ends up fatally injured as a result.
*** So when Zeke confronts Eren he is in good condition and successfully manages to kidnap Eren (after killing Mikasa) and take him to Marley.
** Armin breaks away from Bertholdt with only suffering some first and second degree burns. Not enough to kill him like it would have in canon so Berthodt is never fed to him and Berthodt returns to Marley with the Warriors and Eren.
