GabiPiku is the friendship between Gabi Braun and Pieck Finger from the Attack on Titan fandom.
Canon[]
Pieck and Gabi were both Honorary Marleyans who lived in Liberio. Gabi greatly looked up to Pieck, as she was an inheritor of one of the Nine Titans. They were close, and were often seen together on-screen. Pieck always kept a somewhat motherly vibe around Gabi, and acted like an older sister.
After Gabi is captured and imprisoned for killing Sasha, Pieck infiltrates Marley and stabs a Yeagerist in the throat, catching Eren off guard, who was paying Gabi a visit. Pieck holds him at gunpoint and tells him not to move, closes the door and orders Gabi to aim the rifle next to her at him. She does as Pieck says, until Eren claims that Pieck cannot shoot the Founding Titan. Pieck backs away, and tells Gabi to put the gun down. Gabi, who believes that Pieck is betraying her, instead points her gun at her. Pieck asks Gabi what they are, approaching her. Gabi replies by saying that they are Honorary Marleyans, although Pieck moves the gun away from her and tells Gabi that they are Subjects of Ymir, and that is a thing that cannot change. Then, Gabi is handcuffed with Pieck, and while they're walking to the rooftop so that Pieck can show where and who the enemy is, Eren threatens that if Pieck tries transforming into a Titan, Gabi gets blown to pieces. Upon arriving at the roof, Gabi and Pieck are held at gunpoint by the Yeagerists, and Eren asks where the enemy is. Gabi starts getting scared, and shakes in fear. Pieck notices this, and holds her hand. Gabi looks up at Pieck and she smiles softly at her, before turning to Eren and pointing at him, before Porco eats Eren's legs. Pieck hugs Gabi to protect her, and tells Porco to cut her hand off. As he does, Gabi and Pieck look at it, and start yelling. Pieck, who is in pain, falls off the building and turns into the Cart Titan. She then takes Gabi into her mouth and carries her to Theo Magath. Pieck is then seperated from Gabi, as she goes on top of the Wall to prepare for the fight against Eren.
When Annie learns of the possible death of her father after Liberio was destroyed by the Rumbling, Pieck and Gabi are swen sitting together.
Later on, after Falco saves the Scouts and Jean blows Eren's head off, they go back to Fort Salta where Pieck and Gabi reunite with their family. Then, Connie remarks that the smoke in the air is the same thing as in Ragako village, where the villagers got turned into Titans. Levi gets Pieck onto Falco's Titan, and Pieck reaches out to Gabi, who does not know what's happening. After Gabi is turned into a Pure Titan, Pieck tearfully jumps off and puts her life on the line to help Annie and Reiner.
Fanon[]
GabiPiku isn't a very popular friendship. It's talked about sometimes, but their possible lack in overall interaction compared to other ships, their friendship is mostly seen to be on the side. Despite this, fans of the ship deeply love Pieck and Gabi's interactions. Specially the fact that although Pieck is not related to Gabi, she acts like a protective older sister to her. In most fan arts of the two, Pieck is portrayed as Gabi's mother, even.
This is evident by the fact the current only work in AO3 of this friendship is about the almost mother-daughter bond the two of them have.
