LeviFar

LeviFar is the slash ship between Levi Ackerman and Farlan Church from the Attack on Titan fandom.

Canon
Levi and Farlan were best friends. Farlan was the best friend Levi ever had in the Underground. Together, they took care of Isabel when Levi rescued her from starving and she joined the two of them.

Sometime later, after Isabel's curious questions on how they met, Farlan decided to share with her how it happened. Except he actually shared how he wished it would've happened first. He envisioned rescuing Levi from a group of thugs. He would throw a rope that Levi would catch and the two of them would escape together. He imagined Levi would be impressed by him and his group and would join them. However, the reality of what happened was quite different, as Levi was not that quick to trust anyone and seemed to be working alone before meeting Farlan. Farlan was so impressed by Levi's superhuman strength, taking down several bigger guys than him, all on his own, that he tried to trick him to join him by saying the military police was getting closer and they had to run. Levi replied that he was crazy to think he could just join him. Isabel teased him after he shared the story, saying Levi would've joined him if only he would've shown him a broom. The details on how or why Levi decided to ultimately join and trust Farlan are unknown, however.

Throughout the whole time that the two of them and Isabel got to be out of the Underground, and got to join the Survey Corps, Levi and Farlan's relationship's strengths were evident. Both of them are equally mature and are a perfect duo. While Farlan is a strategist and made much of the plans, Levi is the strongest around and got to focus on their mission. When the trio arrive at the Survey Corps Headquarters, and Levi tells Farlan that he does not actually plan on enlisting, but simply wants to get closer to Erwin so he can follow his objective, Farlan tells him that it is pointless to kill Erwin, and that Levi needs to trust him on that. Later, Isabel and Farlan find Levi sitting out on the roof of headquarters. The two join him, and they all admire the sky together. Levi is seen visibly relaxed and happy near him, to the point of even smiling, something he rarely does. Farlan asks Levi if the sky is as beautiful as it was where he used to live, and Levi says maybe. Levi then tells Farlan that he has decided to trust him, and not kill Erwin for now, to which Farlan responds with a smile.

The day they had their first mission outside the walls, it was raining copiously, which made seeing clearly significantly harder. Levi and Farlan are quick to discuss a plan together on how to go about organizing around this difficult situation they found themselves in. Levi wanted to protect them, so he told Farlan to leave the Titans to him. However, Farlan deeply cares about him too so he tells him that he doesn't care about how strong he is, he should be careful. Levi asks him if he doesn't trust him, but Farlan is quick to remark that it's not about that at all. Farlan insists that acting alone is dangerous, but Levi is dead-set on going to Erwin all by himself, and repeats that Farlan should trust him. The two of them share a silent, intimate look and finally Farlan asks Levi if that's an order. Levi quickly denies this and tells him that it's not, that it's all about protecting them. Farlan stares at him again for some seconds and finally smiles at him, saying he trusts him. He asks Levi to not die. And as Levi rides off on his horse, he looks back at them worriedly.

After Levi rides off to find Erwin, five Titans, having just devoured another squad, attack the squad Isabel and Farlan are a part of. As they attempt to flee, a Titan jumps out of the fog, causing Farlan's horse to fall back onto his leg, pinning him to the ground. Isabel's death causes Farlan to turn around and confront the Titans, but he realizes too late that his fall had badly damaged his equipment, so he gets devoured. Meanwhile, Levi is on his horse searching for Erwin. He finds a squad that has been wiped out by titans. Levi sees the footprints of multiple Titans, before realizing they are headed back towards his friends. He forgets his mission to go after Erwin and follows the Titan's footprints. Levi's horse becomes unusable after tripping and falling, so he is forced to run. Levi is unable to make it in time to save them. Farlan is in danger at the moment, but Levi does not arrive quick enough to save him. He screams out Farlan's name, and as the Titan takes him to its mouth, Levi and Farlan see each other, and Farlan waves to him, smiling at him one last time, as Levi watches in absolute horror, unable to do anything. After sorrowfully watching Farlan die, full of regret and despair, Levi slices open the Titan's stomach and pulls what is left of Farlan out, but he is already dead. Blind with rage, Levi ruthlessly kills the four remaining Titans in an instant.

Way after joining the Survey Corps, and after the Retaking of Wall Maria, Levi often remembered his dead comrades, and Farlan was always present in his mind when he did so, alongside Isabel. When Erwin opened his heart to him and in a vulnerable moment, he asked Levi if he saw all their dead comrades around them, Levi saw Farlan and Isabel amongst the ones Erwin mentioned. When he felt frustrated, unable to fulfill his promise to Erwin, thinking about all that they had to sacrifice to get there and thinking about all that the Survey Corps had to do to guarantee Eren's safety, he remembered Farlan again, at the center of his memory, alongside Isabel.

Fanon
FarLevi is a rare ship within the Attack on Titan fandom. Mostly because it's often overshadowed by Levi's most popular ships, mainly EruRi. However, they are shipped alongside each other in most fanworks, often portraying Farlan as Levi's first boyfriend, or ex boyfriend, before he met and fell in love with Erwin. As for Isabel, fans of the ship usually call Isabel "Farlan and Levi's adopted child," as Isabel joined them when she was little and they already were friends. But since Isabel is often romantically shipped with Farlan, sometimes she is Farlan's new girlfriend after he breaks up with Levi or just acts as a sort of "wingman" for the two of them on fanworks.
