Only Two is an Explicit Levi Ackerman/Female!Reader-Insert Het multi-chapter fic in the Attack on Titan fandom. It was written by AbsinthexMind during 2016.

Only Two is the first part of the Oh brother where art thou series, a non-linear multimedia collection of incest-centric fanfiction all having the same premise: "A collection of various stories that involve the reader having forbidden feelings for her brother. Reader Beware!"[1] Each of the over 75 entries in Oh brother where art thou are well regarded by readers, and Only Two is no exception.

Levi and his little sister (y/n) were on death's door when Kenny Ackerman came and saved them. Kenny's abandonment only proves to the siblings that they only have each other to trust and love. The two must be strong to survive the tough environment of the Underground.

Only Two's Summary

Other characters featured in Only Two are Erwin Smith, Furlan Church and Isabel Magnolia. Some common tropes seen in the fic are Attempted Rape, Birthday Sex, Character Death and Dom!Levi, to name a few. In chapter 9's ending author's notes, AbsinthexMind entertained the idea of a sequel, though left the story off as is since the ending was satisfactory.

Reviews

have mixed feelings about this because I found it so late and it's sad I have no coming updates to look forward to but at the same time I got to binge read pretty much all of it in one night so.... is it good or bad I found it so late, haha?

I really "like" this taboo theme you've chosen for the story. Considering the circumstances, it's no wonder Levi and Reader fall in love with each other. The way you wrote it, it became something beautiful. And problematic settings are a personal favourite of mine when it comes to stories :)

I would obviously want to read a sequel since you write so well about such a difficult matter, but if this was it, thank you for the story :)[2]

I looooved this fic!!!! The way you wrote everything was so believable! I think this would have worked really well as a Levi/OC fic as well. Ohh, and I'm so so sooo relieved that the reader didn't die at the end!![3]

I read this fic years ago and i still to this day come back to read it occasionally. Their relationship is so tragic and beautifully written, every emotion is so believable. Yes its taboo with the subject matter, but you can understand in a way why it happened. I still haven’t found a fic comparable. Thank you for this.[4]
