EreCon

EreCon is the slash ship between Eren Jaeger and Connie Springer from the Attack on Titan fandom.

Canon
As members of the same cadet squad, Eren and Conny shared many experiences together and get on well with each other. Eren and Connie are very similar, as both there parents were titans, Connie's whole family, and Eren's father. They also would go to extreme measures for their family. Like how Connie was willing to let his mother eat Falco, who had become the jaw titan, to return to her senses, and how Eren declared that he would kill all the titans when his mother got eaten.

After learning that Eren Jaeger was from Shiganshina District, Connie and some of the other cadets question Eren about his first-hand experiences with Titans, as he was a witness. During his omni-directional mobility gear training, Connie proves to be very good at using the machine, therefore he was one of the first people Eren asks for help of how to use and operate it correctly. Connie proves to be of no help though, as he only claims that he is just naturally talented in his own ways. Connie gradually begins to slack off during training exercises, like some of the other cadets. This behavior was obviously one that will not go towards helping him graduate in the top 10. However, after witnessing Eren thoroughly beat Jean Kirschtein during a physical confrontation thanks to his training, Connie begins taking his training much more seriously.

Connie graduates ranked 8th among the 104th Cadet Corps and Eren ranks 5th. Afterwards, Eren and Jean get into another fight over Eren's decision to join the Scouts and Jean's decision to join the Military Police. Eren's passionate words in favor of the Scout Regiment during the altercation inspires Connie to consider joining the scout regiment himself. The following day, he is assigned to the same team as Eren and is sent to clean the cannons mounted along to the top of Wall Rose in Trost. As they are cleaning, Connie reveals his intent to join the Scout Regiment, although he claims that Eren's strong words had nothing to do with the decision.

When the squad leaders celebrate their return to Shiganshina, and decide to serve meat to the scouts, Connie is forced to hold Sasha back as she attempts to devour as much of the meat as possible. After tying her up, Connie reminds Eren of the time Sasha offered to share meat with her comrades, right before the Colossal Titan appeared outside of Trost District. He and Eren are both left in awe at how much they have accomplished in the months since then.

In Chapter 139, after Eren dies, Connie states that Eren wanted everybody to live long lives. He also says that Eren said Connie's mother, that was a titan, would go back to being human due to the fact that the titan powers had gone away.

Fanon
EreCon is seen as a rather unpopular ship throughout the Attack on Titan fandom. Considering the popularity of Springles and Eremika, not many fans appear to ship it. Although a few fans like this ship romantically, it's mostly seen as a friendship, especially during the time they spent together in 850, where many would see their behavior as somewhat similar.
