Attack on Titan cowboy/western AU. Life stayed stagnant out at Smith's ranch. Day in and day out, your life stayed scheduled without change. You and your colleagues worked as a well-oiled machine. When times get tough, and another hand is needed out on the ranch, new-hire Jean Kirstein makes his way into all your lives with brand new boots, a clean felt cowboy hat, and an inflated ego, throwing a wrench in things.

y/n never expected to be the talk of all campus by being someone's "situationship", let alone the "someone" being Jean Kirstein, the most infuriating and complicated person on campus. But then, one single post on a gossip twitter account made especially for their university, @anontrost, about them, and everyone seems to believe it, for some reason.

"𝙍𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙢𝙚? 𝙉𝙤𝙬 𝙞𝙩'𝙨 𝙢𝙮 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚." A pause.

He was the easy target, the nerd she bullied to prove she was number one. He never fought back. He never looked up. She was fire and sharp edges, fearless and untouchable- until the boy with glasses vanished, only to return with a dangerous new light in his eyes. Now the battlefield is no longer just textbooks and exams, it's pride, power, and something neither of them expected to feel. And when they collide, nothing will ever be the same. ────୨ৎ──── ────୨ৎ──── Nerd Armin x femReader AoT college au Started: 17.05.2025 Ended: 09.11.2025 🥉 in #arminarlert (23.06.2025) 🥈 in #arminarlert (24.06.2025) 🥇 in #arminarlert (03.07.2025)

Y/n used to have a future. Once upon a time, there were dreams of stages, spotlights, and cheers - until a single injury shattered all of it. Now? She's barely hanging onto college, drowning in grades, and doing her best to push the world away before it leaves her first. Jean Kirstein wasn't supposed to stick around. Annoying, persistent, and impossible to shake, he shows up when Y/n least wants anyone to. But sometimes the wrong people slip through the cracks, and sometimes the heart can't tell the difference between a lifeline and a hook. This isn't just a love story. This is a story about a boy who let the light in a girl's dark world, flickering where she never thought it could glow again.

A philocalist: someone who finds beauty in everything. Y/N notices the small things most people ignore, sunlight through library windows, quiet spring mornings on campus, people's laughter, the way life keeps moving even when everything feels uncertain. People, though? People are complicated. And keeping them at a distance has always been easier. Then there's Jean. A business major who secretly wanted to study art, a guy who treats every conversation like a competition and every argument like a sport. Somehow, between rivalry, late-night parties, and a few very bad decisions, the line between enemies and something else starts to blur. And the worst part? He might be the only thing in her life she can't keep at arm's length. ──────────────────── Slow burn Rivals → Friends with benefits → Lovers College AU Frat boy Jean x Fem!Reader ────────────────────

[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
