They grew up chasing fireflies - soft lights that were once comfort. Somewhere between childhood and growing older, innocent love twisted into cruelty, and the boy who once shielded her became the reason she learned how to disappear.

"What are you running from?" he asks, his voice soft, not accusing just... curious. I bite my lip, shrugging slightly. "You wouldn't understand. Not yet." He leans closer, eyes earnest. "Try me. I want to." I look away, heart doing something stupid. "Some things... you only figure out on your own."

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

For over four years, she has been by her bosses side, managing his schedule and trying to make anything and everything easier for him. They have both always been only professional, when slight changes happen and tension arises. Will they act on their desires for each other, and become vulnerable? Or, will they keep a practiced distance from each other? Read to find out!!! Reiner Braun x Female Reader CEOxSecretary trope (guys i totally forgot it was a meme...

"It started with comfort. It ended with him being the only thing that could break me." When Jean Kirstein and Eren Yeager move back to Shingashina from their studies in Amsterdam, you're a wreck. Freshly heartbroken, barely functioning, and definitely not ready to see the two men who've shaped your life: Eren, your brother, and Jean, his best friend, practically family. Jean's cocky, tattooed, too good with his hands, and the kind of person your brother always warned you about. And yet, when he's the only one who can help you navigate this mess, you can't ignore the way his presence unsettles you. Protective, attentive, and impossibly close, he reaches for you when you fall apart, and suddenly the line between care and something more blurs. He promised no feelings and he lied. {˙⋆✮rankings} 1 in #yearner 10/11/25 1 in #kirstein 10/11/25 12 in #shingekinokiojin 26/11/25 7 in #jeankirstein 5/12/25 1 in #jeankirschtein 10/12/25 17 in #attackontitan 4/03/26 (slight substacne abuse, smut, violence)

You swore you'd never love again. Not after grief hollowed you out and left you carrying ghosts. Jean Kirstein swore he'd never surrender again. Not after being treated like a puppet in a life scripted by someone else's control. Neither of you asked to collide. Together-nothing but unraveling threads, but scars sure have a way of recognizing each other. And once the walls crack, it's only a matter of time before everything shatters. What happens when the grief you've buried finds its reflection in another broken soul? ⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆ - 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧. 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 (𝟏𝟖+) 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭. 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲. 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 - ᐢ..ᐢ nice rankings ៸៸ ✦ ~ #1 erenjaeger ~ #1 snkfanfic ~ #7 jeanxreader ~ #10 aotfanfic

[Jean Kirstein x Reader] College AU ╔══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══╗ For twelve long years, she has fought against Jean Kirstein, the brilliant, insufferable academic rival who seems to always be one step ahead. Their rivalry is a quiet storm, the kind that brews in classrooms and library corners, sharp words and silent glances exchanged across chalkboards. She has never needed anyone, least of all him, until now. Desperate to pass Calculus, a subject she has long avoided, she swallows her pride and turns to him for help. It's not easy, surrendering to a man who knows her every weakness, her every flaw, and yet, as they spend late nights in the glow of desk lamps, something shifts between them. In the space between lessons and equations, an unexpected friendship is born-fragile at first, like the delicate curve of an unsolved formula. But as the days pass, it grows, complicated and tender, until the lines between competition and affection blur. [Caution] Drugs, smoking, cursing, ect
