Canon[]
Eren was assinged to Levi's Squad, where they were assigned to supervise him. There, Eren knows of them and their names, and is left quite afraid of them, as they're tasked to kill him if he does anything crazy. While the others kept their distance, Petra was the first to approach him, and make him feel welcome. There, she mentions how he looked disappointed, and talked about how Levi isn't the person he's seen from other people's perspective, and that he's surprisingly short and a clean freak. She then says that she heard that Levi was recruited by Erwin. Their conversation is interrupted by Levi who orders them to clean it again. That night, they go down and sit at a table, where Levi introduces his squad, and the number of Titan kills they have. Hange then barges in and talks about their experiments, to which Petra simply leaves.
Days later, Hange wants to run tests on Eren's Titan, Levi is willing, and Petra, along with her fellow squad members, have to monitor. Not being able to, Eren is taken back up, which disappoints Levi, making Petra comfort him. When Eren accidentally transforms after picking his spoon up, Petra draws his sword at him, and asks if he really does trust them. Eren claims that it's simply a misunderstanding, but with no luck, the squad still draws their swords. Later, Petra learns that it's in fact an accident and bites her hand as an apology.
During the 57th Expedition, they learn of the Female Titan, which leads them into the forest. While she is on their trail, Eren is close to biting his hand and transforming, but Petra tells him that he needs to trust them. Eren doesn't transform, and instead continues by horse, listening to her. After the Female Titan is held down and they are ordered to get higher up to the trees, Eren asks if Erwin and Levi are really ones to trust, greatly angering Petra, to the point where she yells at him, saying that she has to trust them. When seeing the signal, confirming that they can go back home. On their way, Petra claims that the plan worked because Eren trusted them, but Oluo is said to think otherwise. Still, she came to his defense. Eld says that they've grown, and remarks that they pissed their pants on the first mission out. Petra is extremely shocked, and says that Eren will lose all faith in them if they talk about it. Eren is rather surprised, and asks if it sprayed through the air, shocking Petra even more.
When they encounter Annie, who is not yet transformed, she kills Gunther. Petra then protects Eren from the Female Titan, and ends up in death. Eren attempts to avenge her along with the other, only for Annie to bite through the nape and capture him. Despite their close friendship, he was still reluctant to fight Annie, despite her having killed his comrades, including Petra.
Fanon[]
Most people ship Eren and Petra as friends, although there are those who ship the two romantically since they are almost the same age and have shown deep trust in one another. Fans who ship them romantically also note the support they constantly gave to one another and they find all of that as a potential sign of something more than a friendship. It's often overshadowed by more famous ships involving the two.
The ship currently has over 15 works on AO3.
