Fleren

"Our...Devil...is...our...only...hope"

- Floch referring to Eren

Fleren is the slash ship between Eren Jaeger and Floch Forster from the Attack on Titan fandom.

Canon
Both Eren and Floch are part of the 104th Training Corps. After graduating, Floch joined the Garrison where he served for several years. However, after the uprising within the walls, several members of the Garrison, including himself joined the Survey Corps. However Floch is the only one to survive during the charge against the Beast Titan.

Despite being enemies after the death of the Survey Corp's commander, Erwin Smith the two become allies four years later when Floch joins the Yeagerists (a rebel group where you show your devotion to Eren Jaeger in order to save Eldia) in the Marley Arc. While in the Yeagerists, Floch viewed Eren as a savior and showed such great devotion towards him. Floch as well believed that Eren is the one who should truly rule Eldia. Eren as well values Floch and Historia more than Armin and Mikasa showing that Floch has Eren's trust.

Floch at first shown some disliked towards Eren after Armin was the one chosen for the titan injection instead of Erwin since Floch used to look up to Erwin a lot, in which is the reason why he transferred from the Garrison to the Survey Corps. Angry, Floch tells Armin that Erwin should've got it and Eren tries his best to defend Armin but Floch accuses Eren of being childish and wondered why would Eren would let his emotions get to him as he tells Eren that Erwin was much more of a rational choice (meaning a commander's life is much more important than a soldier).

During the Marley Arc the two have seemed like they've became allies as Eren informs Floch that as he wanted to use his half-brother, Zeke Jaeger to gain the power of the founding titan, afterwards of this conversation Floch secretly recruits comrades to help Eren with his plan. The reason why Floch became part of the rebel group was due to finding the truth of the outside world which made him look at an extremist view which he believed that those who didn't live on Paradis Island shall die, which is one of the Yeagerists goals.

In the War for Paradis arc Floch gets slain in the throat by Mikasa, and as he dies his final moments were to Hange and Jean telling them not to stop Eren as he's a devil and the only one who can truly save Eldia, this shows the amount of faith Floch has on Eren. After his final words Floch dies.

It was seen in the manga panels that Floch and Eren most likely lived together before Eren headed off to Marley.

Fanon
The ship isn't very popular due to Floch not being a very well liked character in series also as well due to having much more popular ship rivals like Eremin and Eremika. It first started off as a crack ship in which later fans started to really ship the two as their relation developed more.

On the other side a small portion of a fans believe Eren might've most likely manipulated Floch into hating the outside world or believe that Eren and Floch wouldn't still get along outside of their goal, which most fans of either character believe the relation is somewhat toxic or would've been toxic both ways. Which is why most fans prefer FloJean, another popular ship for Floch.

The amount of supporters for this ship is minimum but most fans like to joke around that Floch most likely has a crush on Eren, Most of the time during fan works the two are shown to have a sort of type of bromance or Floch blushing around Eren when he isn't looking. The fanbase for Fleren is quite small for other social media sites like Tumblr but has a minimum amount on Twitter and Instagram.

The works of fanfiction on AO3 is quite little due to the fact the scenes between in the manga with Eren and Floch is very short but it's well known that the two have great trust and faith towards each other as Floch worships Eren in which made Floch a de-facto leader of the Yeagerists.

Fleren shares some similarities with Zelena, another ship where one worships the other.

After the airing of Episode 12 for the Final Season of Attack on Titan, many joked that Floch giving Eren the cardigan was the ship becoming officially "canon".
