Y/N L/N was everything Reiner Braun wasn't. She was unbending when it came to rules. A perfectionist who was never satisfied with outcomes. She was just an intern at The Garrison Firm. A firm that manages the public image of athletes, they're the team behind social media and events. Helping athletes with their media training and reputations. Reiner and Y/N were both chaotic in their own way. Both reckless, one with hands, the other with words. Being only an intern, Y/N L/N accomplished many things. She took on more work than necessary but the outcome was just as great. Athletes whispered her name like she was the tooth fairy of sports. Only seven months into the industry and everyone wanted to work with her. Reiner Braun had a mixed reputation. Some would tell you he was an honest man with a mouthy personality. Others would tell you he was just straight up rude. None of this affected Reiner personally, he never cared for what the media had to say about him, that's what he had public relations for. But would it be enough for him when he's fired countless of people from different teams? Word of mouth spread like a wildfire, firms held back on working with him. How will Reiner face the wrath of his only, and last option, Y/N L/N from the Garrison Firm? Will his fierce personality crash with her own? Or will they meet in the middle of their stubbornness to uplift his image?

Trying to reclaim yourself, carrying the weight of defamatory rumors on your shoulders, you wander through the university halls, chasing fragments of a life you once knew. Then fate, quiet and unrelenting, and you find yourself facing a tether, a small anchor in the storm. At the edge of your awareness lingers a sharp, unreadable presence >Jean Kirstein< and somehow, no matter where you go, the destiny keeps you two together.

She sang to survive, never expecting her voice would change someone else's life. Performing at a local town bar was all Y/n knew, her only source of income and escape. But when a mysterious stranger appeared in the crowd hiding behind a hoodie, a black beanie, and a mask covering the bottom half of his face, he looked more like a thief than a man trying to enjoy his night at the bar. The only thing that seemed familiar were the eyes she had only seen through a screen. The forgotten rockstar, Connie Springer. And what better way to earn money than working for the fallen star desperate to reclaim the career his addictions had destroyed? What could possibly go wrong when you're writing songs for the known walking disaster.

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.

y/n jaeger starts her freshman year at university of trost (UOT), turning nineteen in only three days. Her older brother, eren jaeger is a junior campus heartthrob alongside his best friend jean kirstein. Both of them have girls desperate to be on either one of their arms, however things take a turn when eren catches his friend trading glances with his little sister. Overprotective of her since the day she was born, eren jaeger has always willingly thrown himself into fights for y/n's sake. In his eyes she's not nineteen - she's still a baby. And if he needs to fight his own best friend... so be it. a brother's best friend trope with a love triangle, betrayal and heartbreak. [TW: y/n deals with an anxiety disorder, thoughts of death, trauma responses specifically towards men. animal cruelty and violence is mentioned. ]
