ִֶָ𓂃 ࣪ ִֶָ🍓་༘࿐ 𝘑𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘟 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳 Strangers to Friends to Lovers As a hopeless Romantic you thought finding love would be easy... but you were so wrong. After moving to Paradis University you thought you wouldn't be making any friends you just wanted to stay out of drama, get good grades but then you met THAT friendgroup thanks to your new roommate Sasha Braus and your life changed for better or was it for the worse? you don't know. But little did you know you would meet a guy who would change your perspective on everything... Jean Kirstein. But then something unexpected happened. Some old friends started to join Paradis University and make their way back into your life when you thought they were gone forever but while that is happening someone is trying to make your life a living hell and make it worse then it already was and they know things that other don't.. will you figure out who it is? or will it completely take over your life and spread around before you can do anything about it? Then you continuously ask yourself the question.. what will the friendgroup think? what will Jean think? But you are just a girl trying to find a place in this world. They said the end is coming, everyone is up to something, I find myself running home to your sweet nothing - Taylor Swift TW:Self harm, Depression, MH issues, Sex, drinking, illegal Drugs, smoking, suicidal thoughts, stalking, etc (All of these warnings will be put at the start of each chapters) Read this at your own risk! This is also my first ever fanfic so please don't judge but also feedback is appreciated. The cover was made by me but I don't own the art in this cover if you know who does then let me know. I don't own any of the AOT Characters in this fanfic they are all created by the amazing Hajime Isayama, all credits got to him <3 Enjoy! ִֶָ𓂃 ࣪ ִֶָ🍓་༘࿐

At Paradis University, power is inherited. Behind wrought iron gates and ivy draped stone, the children of senators, CEOs, and old money dynasties sharpen their smiles like weapons. The football team reigns like modern day titans. Social groups function as kingdoms. Every party is a battlefield disguised in silk and champagne. Y/N was born into it. Heir to generational wealth. Daughter of a family whose name opens doors before she even knocks. Raised in rooms where influence is currency and weakness is fatal. She knows how to play the game. She just didn't expect to want something real. Reiner Braun is everything Paradis rewards. The golden boy, commanding, and adored. Being with him feels effortless. Safe. Like stepping into a future already approved by everyone watching. Jean Kirstein is not. He stands at the edge of rooms, observing. Calculating. Unmoved by reputation. He doesn't bow to legacy - not hers, not anyone's. And that makes him dangerous. What begins as a careless kiss during a spin-the-bottle game spirals into something neither of them can control. Stolen moments become heated confrontations. Jealous glances turn into quiet wars. Desire becomes something sharper. Something territorial. At Paradis, nothing stays private. Every hallway whispers. Every party remembers. And when love collides with pride, legacy, and loyalty, the fallout is never small. Anonymous campus accounts track every hookup, every fight, every fall from grace. Paparazzi linger outside charity galas and away games, waiting for a scandal worth selling. One photo can crown you. One rumor can ruin you. The walls have eyes. Because behind the walls of Paradis University, even heirs can burn. And when desire turns into devotion The rumbling is inevitable.

you wanted to run away from it. so you did. you transferred to St. Peter's Trost University. 2 hours away from home. 2 hours away from memories that keep you wake at night. 2 hours away from when you last saw your sister. you randomly moved into an apartment and ran into your old best friend from elementary school, sasha braus. who ended up having a roommate who was the complete opposite of the ray of sunshine. you meet more than just her. you meet the entire friend group and a lucky boy who you thought was the one for you. he sweet. kind. pretty to look at. what was there to complain about but what happens when your eyes wander a little from the pretty view into the darkness that sees no end? jean kirstein. what you didn't know that he wasn't just all darkness and a complete asshole to his friends. he was the person you never thought you needed. he became someone you knew was irreplaceable. ---- I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE AOT CHARACTERS. enjoy:) awards: #2 sashabraus- 4/18/26 #2 jeanxreader- 4/25/26 #3 connie - 5/16/26

You were supposed to leave him behind. The boy who challenged you, competed with you, annoyed you to your very core, until he didn't. Jean Kirstein, your academic rival, your almost-friend, your first love... and the person you left without saying goodbye. You thought distance would make it easier. That burying yourself in ambition, in grief, in survival, would make you forget. But nothing could quite erase the burn he left on your skin, or the look he gave you the night everything fell apart. Now you're back in Paradis. Just for a few months, just long enough to fulfill a promise, to see your friends again, to pretend that the past doesn't hurt anymore. But fate has other plans. Because the first time you see him again... he's not standing. He's broken, quiet, older...and yet everything you once loved still lingers in his eyes. From academic enemies to something impossibly tender and undone, this is a slow-burn story about growing up, losing everything, and finding your way back to the person who always felt like home. "Do you think I have forgotten about you?"

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.

{Rewritten} You thought this Christmas would be perfect. The city sparkled with lights; carols drifted through the streets made everything feel magical. But then it all fell apart. In an instant the warmth vanished, leaving you cold and alone, right in the middle of the bustling city. Your chest ached, your heart felt ripped out and the question kept looping in your mind; what just happened? Meeting Jean Kirstein, the new starting quarterback, you thought that would just be another person added to your friend group. But the closer he gets, the sooner you realized that there's something more to him that keeps pulling you in. Is it because he's a new face? Or is this feeling more underlying with a different feeling than what you expect. Jean x Fem Reader Modern AU in college, no titan powers Not my art!!

Jean Kirstein friends to lovers slow burn. In your senior year of high school, your best friend went missing without a trace and you were the last person to see her before she disappeared, making you the prime suspect. Two years later, you return to your hometown to start your sophomore year of college and run into a face you never thought you would see again, Eren Jaeger. Assimilating into his group of friends, you realize just how connected the world truly is. With the two-year anniversary of your friend's disappearance nearing close, you begin to question loyalties within Eren's friends. Near the anniversary of your friend's disappearance, another person goes missing and you, once again, were the last person to be seen with them. Were you just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Or are you not as innocent as you propose... A certain mullet-headed friend of yours is fully convinced of your innocence, enough to help you bring justice to your friends who have disappeared. DISCLAIMER: Y/N is an unreliable narrator and often lies to herself. The truth of a lot of things rests within other POVs that are not Y/N's. This does not mean Y/N is lying all the time, it just means that this fic will require a lot of thinking, which may not be everyone's cup of tea. This story will not be a romance-oriented fic, it is a mystery plot with a romance sub-plot. Not affiliated with Attack on Titan by Hajime Isayama.
