After one of the most grueling semesters you've endured throughout the entirety of your college career, you have one thing to look forward to- moving to Marley City. With a new degree in biology, a job working in a research lab one of the most prestigious universities in the country under your belt, and a chance to live a life you've only ever imagined in the city that never sleeps- you know you have to take charge of your life before you lose your last shred of humanity. You move into a run-down 2 bed/1bath apartment in the heart of the Marley district, expecting a girl your age to occupy the other bedroom based on what the leasing company told you.

He's an attractive narcissist who only cares about going out and fooling around with anyone and anything that distracts him from his dreary job at a small investment banking firm. Sassy and reckless with an overly nonchalant attitude that makes your blood boil. Two opposing forces, one unit in the big city.

The thing about grief is that it's different for everyone who experiences it. Some people have random bursts of anger, some feel unbearable sadness, and some feel empty. Jean never thought he'd have to figure out how grief showed in him, but even the unexpected can happen. Jean navigates his grief a bit differently than others. Through his eulogy, Jean relives his college life, remembering from the moment he met her, arguing with an RA, to the moment he heard her voice for the last time, and all the small moments in between. At the time, he never knew how much those memories would mean to him or how much he would cling to them, but as his grief settled, they were the only thing that grounded him.

College is hard. Living two doors down from Jean Kirstein? Even harder. New to Stohess University, you're just trying to survive dorm life, avoid emotional attachment, and maybe pass psych class. But when your path collides with the university's most irritatingly attractive frat boy, you find yourself dragged into a world of stolen hoodies, late-night arguments, and group chats from hell. He's loud, cocky, and so not your type. So why does he keep ending up in your bed? Psych class with Reiner, being besties with Sasha and Connie and having Hitch and Annie as your roomies is NOT for the weak, not to mention Jean Kirstein in the mix of it all. A chaotic, messy, and (unfortunately) romantic Jean x Reader college AU featuring Eren's emotional breakdowns, love triangles, Hitch's savage commentary, and the most toxic group chat on campus. This is an ongoing piece and I will update it regularly. I feel like there is a gap in the market for genuinely decent Jean fanfics so I wrote this, just for fun.
