Married Life
(taglist: @21aurora @deepzombieyouth )
Married life with Erwin would be a mixed show of different aesthetics.
On one hand you’d have the regal and formal Commander, with his beautiful and poised SO either sat at his side during meetings or lacing your arm through his while on a walk through the towns.
Elegance, power, a dark and romantic acidamia vibe surrounding the two of you…This is how the people would interpret your relationship on a daily basis.
But for those closer to the man’s inner circle, they’d see a whole other side to your relationship.
One where his arm was thrown around your shoulder as you casually sat in the mess hall of HQ for breakfast, with your hand placed over his on the table top in domestic familiarity.
They’d see the soft smiles and jabs of of inside jokes passed between the two of you in off duty hours.
He’d always hold the hand that held your ring, rubbing comforting circles against the back of your hand while making small talk with his veteran companions.
The innocent, or sometimes suggestive, display of affection would always warm the room you occupied with your man.
And for those who were closest to the two of you?
Dear god, they got to see nearly all the many layers of your love.
Walking into Erwin’s office only to see the two of you sprawled out on the couch laughing your asses off over some story he’d been telling you was a common occurrence.
Miche couldn’t count on his two hands how many times he’d walked in to see you sitting on top of Erwin’s desk as he worked on signing documents, tying his hair up in goofy styles for the fun of it.
And poor Hange had learned to knock on your shared bedroom door before barging in with a report.
Hange had undoubtedly seen just how much he loved you, more than their other friends would ever want to.
Expect many jokes to come from them after this encounter the morning after.
“Seems you’re balls deep in love with her, Erwin~”
“Hange, that’s not appropriate,” Erwin would sigh in exasperation.
“But I mean…They’re not wrong,” you’d butt into the conversation with a snicker.
Cue a horrified Levi nearly dropping his teacup from the other end of the table.
The point is; there’s many layers to the love Erwin has for you, and you him. Wether anyone on the outside always got to see it or not, everyone knew the two of you were inseparable.

Dad Jokes
(I promise Imma eventually get to the more romantic headcannons bUT HEAR ME OUT-)
Commander Eyebrows is the MASTER of dad jokes.
Dude may not be a father himself, but let’s be honest.
All his subordinates are his children.
He’s always so serious during meetings and speeches, but behind closed doors?
A menace. Unrelenting as he finally has a chance to rattle off some of his own father’s favorite jokes to his friends.
9 times out of 10, he’ll remain professional. Maybe one or two corny jokes will slip out, but he’ll keep it polite.
Give him a few drinks, or get him comfortable with his closest friends though?
One time Levi stated he was thirsty, when referring to his now empty cup of tea.
Cue an evil grin from Erwin.
“Hello thirsty, I’m Erwin.”
Levi threatened to retire early from the Survey Corps.
That time Mike forgot something in Erwin’s office after taking his leave?
“Long time no see, stranger.”
Mike told him he smelled like a bitch while rolling his eyes.
Seriously, this man can’t not be such a dad.
One time, Nike Dok asked his old friend how things were going for him now that he was commander of the survey corps. 
Not missing a beat, “Living the dream.”
Modern AU Erwin would answer phone calls with “ ‘yello?’ “
“What’s the damage?” He’d ask Hange whenever they would present to him the document that recorded the yearly costs of the Scout Regimen.
A young Eren once made a comment about the difficulties of life as a teenager in the scouts.
“Well, when I was your age-“
Mans slaps his thigh when hearing a funny joke.
Overall headcannon that Erwin is A Dad.

In love
(taglist: @21aurora @deepzombieyouth )
Erwin just loved showing off that band on his ring finger.
Be it a promise, engagement, or marriage ring, he’s wearing it and he’s wearing it proudly.
Literally any and every opportunity he could find, he was either silently or discreetly letting everyone know that he was a taken man.
And if he couldn’t find an opportunity, he’d make one.
Wether it be by tapping said ring against the wood of the table he sat at during meetings with the Commanders of the neighboring divisions, or by fidgeting with it while he talked.
And it’s completely unprovoked.
No one asked about the ring. No one pointed out the way he made a silent show of wearing it.
Literally they’re talking about the welfare of the citizens within the walls.
Or about the impending Survey Corps’ expeditions beyond the walls.
He’ll just always manage to steer the attention of the room to his hand.
And it’s not to direct all attention onto himself.
It’s to direct attention to you.
He’s always finding little ways to show you off.
It doesn’t matter if you’re present during the meetings or not, he’s letting everyone know you’re always on his mind by fidgeting with the metal band on his dominant hand.
Wether it’s with words or actions, the love Erwin displays for you in public spaces and in private is radiant. And by god everyone knows about it.

Dad!Erwin
══════════════════════
(A/N: Doing this for Erwin cause I needa post more Eyebrow content~)
══════════════════════
While at first it took you by surprise, Commander Erwin’s favoritism towards you soon blossomed into a friendship you never knew you needed until then.
Being away from family while enlisting in the Survey Corps had made you a touch lonely, despite the new friends you’d made(and unfortunately some you lost) in the regiment.
Once you’d been promoted, you found yourself at every neck and call of your Commander as his personal assistant.
You supposed it made sense. After all, Section Commander Hange had their own assistant, Moblit.
Over a surprisingly quick amount of time, you’d grown close with Erwin.
He wasn’t one to nag at you or harp on you. He treated you as if he’d known you all your life.
Hell he even gave you weekends off?? Unless it was urgent.
There had been nights you had bonded together over a game of chess or a mug of something warm.
You’d told him about your family, and how you missed them. He’d tell you what he remembered of his late mother, and the conspiracies surrounding his father’s fate.
Eventually, you looked to Erwin as a second father figure in your life.
He’d check on you during breakfast every morning, and had you take a seat at his table.
He’d call you “kiddo”
Heaven forbid anyone your age try and flirt with you cause Papa Bear Erwin comes out in full swing.
“And just what are your intentions with my assistant?”
Sometimes slips up and says “daughter/son/child”
Despite him not being your biological father or relative by blood, the man sure did act like such a dad.
“Heading out to Trost? Alright…Just be back in HQ by 9pm sharp.”
Cue the usual bickering between the two of you as you tried to persuade him to make the curfew longer.
He watches out for you on expeditions and any meeting you might be accompanying him on. For both your physical and emotional safety.
He loves all “his” kids so much and I literally cannot with how adorable-
Bickering with Hange over Dadwin’s attention and getting a “now kids, I have time for both of you. I love you both equally.”
Pls Dadwin is cannon you cannot change my mind.

Can’t help but think about Erwin’s friend group dynamic.
Just imagine; It’s a rare day off for the veterans. For some god forsaken reason, Erwin’s office had become the usual ’hangout’ spot, not that he had had any say in the matter. So there he sat at his desk, slightly lounging on the wooden frame, watching as Hange laid on the floor just before the desk talking animatedly with their hands.
Levi sat on the man’s couch, legs crossed and a book in his hands. Apparently he couldn’t just read in his own room or his office.
Mike sat on the back of the couch to Levi’s right, a drink in his hand as he talked to Nanaba, who leaned on Erwin’s desk lazily picking up a chess piece to move across the board.
It was a common occurrence for them to take turns trying to best Erwin in a game of chess. So far, he remained undefeated, and today was apparently Nanaba’s turn.
Or.
A single person task split between the five of them.
Was it sensible? No. Was it practical? No. But yet again, Erwin didn’t have a say. Wether it be a trip to Trost for resources, cleaning around HQ, or writing up reports, Erwin didn’t get much time to himself.
But would he have it any other way? I think not.
pls i need more platonic bonding between these 5

Downtime
My mans needs more “off duty” time.
Dude literally spends 16 hours of the day tending to his duties as Commended of the Survey Corps.
Paper work, meetings, etc.
But I’d like to imagine that sometimes, when he allows himself a break, he takes some well deserved down time.
Wether that be by sleeping in, (pls he needs it), or taking a stroll through the district of Trost
Catching up with Pyxis, silently drinking tea with Levi, going over reports and journal entries with Hange, perhaps reading for entertainment instead of duty.
I personally love the (popular??) headcannon that Erwin is a legendary chess player.
Challenges his fellow veteran friends to games in which they inevitably lose.
On a more somber note, I think he would frequent his father’s grave to either stand idly by and talk to himself, or sit by the headstone and ponder on what was and what could have been.
Leaves a flower or two on the patch of earth each anniversary cause the man’s emotions aren’t talked about or portrayed enough.
Is Erwin a drinker?
Nvm, he is for this headcannon.
Sometimes he’ll have a drink with Mike and Nanaba when times get a little too rough for his liking to unwind.
In the case that he has an S/O, he’d use his down time to be in their company.
Wether that be by taking walks or horse rides with them, or shopping through town.
Don’t forget cuddle sessions on his office couch~
Overall, this man doesn’t get enough love or appreciation.
His down time is sacred, so whenever he gets a chance, he’ll spend it unwinding from all his stressful duties. Forgetting for a moment that he is responsible for many men and women’s lives and just live in the moment.

Eyebrows
Bro’s brows are way too on fleek to be an accident.
This being a funnier headcannon, I’d like to imagine he takes 10-20 mins out of his morning routine to trim, shape, and style his thick brows every few days
In a modern au, dude’s youtube search history is filled with tutorials for 1957 Audrey Hepburn style brows.
Best bet he has taken years to perfect his brow game.
We’re just going to ignore his “thin brows” era.
As well as his “Maybe i should thin out my brows” phase where he had to borrow Nanaba’s brow powder to fill in his bald spot.

Seeing your dearest friend become Commander of the Survey Corps filled you with pride. But as time goes by, you can’t overlook the stress that comes with it, so you decide to help in your own way.
