ReiCon is the slash ship between Reiner Braun and Connie Springer from the Attack on Titan fandom.
Canon[]
Before joining the Survey Corps, both Reiner and Connie were close friends until his 'betrayal' against the Survey Corps. The two were chosen to help Sasha in the cooking competition against Jean. Reiner also saved Connie from being devoured by a titan.
When a battle breaks out and the Armored Titan and the Colossal Titan appear, Connie is busy treating the wounded and does not immediately understand what has happened. He fears for his friends, Bertholdt and Reiner, who he believes are missing, unaware that they are actually the enemies that were currently being fought by the rest of the scout regiment. When he believed he had helped kill Reiner in Shiganshina, Connie broke into tears, showing he still looks back on Reiner as a good friend even after his betrayal.
After the battle, Connie is in shock after he is told that Reiner and Bertholdt are the Armored and Colossal Titans respectively. He joins the rescue mission to save Eren, but still, he refuses to believe all of the 'ridiculous' claims about how Reiner and Bertholdt were the Armored and Colossal titan, until they both say it and he hears it straight from their mouths.
Reiner is shown to accompany Connie to his home village, Ragako after Connie received permission to investigate his home town. As they head to Connie's village they notice how there weren't any people in the village to be seen. Connie begins to think that they might've escaped.
After Reiner reveals his identity as the Armored Titan, Connie is saddened to see that he has betrayed him. He sheds tears when he learns that he does have to end Reiner's life. Later in the time skip the Survey Corps and Marleyan Warriors form an alliance to stop the rumbling from killing those in the world. When having to kill the Yeagerists, Connie shoots Daz and Samuel, and starts to understand Reiner. After the fight with Eren, in the time skip the two are now ambassadors for Marley, and now on their way back to Paradis Island.
