(former title: Of Ashes and Honey) ─── With your past following you like a dark cloud, a fresh start at a different university is exactly what you need. For the first time in your life, you've taken matters into your own hands and granted yourself some much-needed change. Not only does Marley State University offer a great program, but it also gives you people who feel like the functioning family you've always longed for. Of course, you can't get along with everyone-especially not those who don't even make an effort of getting to know you. But maybe there's more to that than just pure arrogance. And yet, old shadows seem to follow you everywhere. Your guilt-tainted heart, always torn and distant, will it finally be set free and find its home? © all rights met . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

Jean Kirstein has no interest in girls. He'd tried dating and found himself often bored before the end of the evening. Competing for captain of The University of Trost's lacrosse team, there is no shortage of women available to him but he'd rather be on the field. Unfortunately for him, it's the off season. (Y/N), however, found herself feigning ignorance about her desire to love deeply and be loved even deeper. After her first day at college, her hopes for the school year diminished greatly until she grew to know Jean. ----------------- This is a slow burn. A sloooooooow burn. This story will also cover graphic topics including but not limited to suicide, death, drugs, alcohol, grief, sex, eating disorders, and mental illness. I do not own the cover art, I could not find a source so if you know, please tell me! I do not own Attack On Titan or any of its' characters.
