You've spent your entire life proving you're worth keeping-training your body, sharpening your ambition, becoming whatever the world asked of you in order to survive in Marley as an Eldian. Paradis is supposed to be temporary. A pause. A place to breathe while the storm you created blows over back in Marley. Instead, it gives you everything you tried to leave behind. Old friends you've missed. Old truths you want to ignore. And of course; an attractive stranger who quickly becomes the bane of your existence here in Paradis. Jean Kirstein-sharp-tongued, stubborn, and infuriatingly familiar. A hockey player who calls you out for wanting more. For wanting out. For refusing to accept the identity you were born into. You clash over pride, survival, and the choices that shaped you both. But beneath the tension is something harder to ignore-an unfinished connection, a promise that never really stayed broken. cover art by xhealer_ on ig / tiktok!! good rankings! #1 in AOT -- 03/03/26 #1 in JEAN -- 03/03/26

*ೃ༄ EREN JAEGER X READER When you're paired with Eren Jaeger for a semester-long psych project on vulnerability, you expect awkward silences, not slow-burning tension and quiet moments that say more than words ever could. He's distant but not cruel, closed off but never cold. As the project forces you closer, you begin to see the cracks in his armour... and feel the ones forming in your own. This isn't just a study in intimacy. It's what happens when two people, frayed at the edges, start to unravel beside each other. 03.05.2025 -
