Not long after your dad takes a new job, your entire life is packed into boxes and moved to the one place you never wanted to end up. Your rival school. Starting your sophomore year of college here doesn't feel like a fresh start-it feels like being stuck somewhere that was never meant for you. Somewhere you don't belong. Somewhere you can't be yourself. But then there's Jean Kirstein. A football player who was supposed to be just another part of a place you hate... until he becomes the reason everything starts to change.

College au: Jean x reader | Eren x reader Transferring to Trost State was meant to be a fresh start: new uni, new friends, and most importantly - no fuck-ups. Except that last one was proving to be a lot more difficult than you thought. Between wild parties, a dysfunctional friend group, and one reckless night, you find yourself thrown head first into the chaos of college life - of course including all the love, pain, loyalty, (and shit ton of partying) that comes with it. Oh, and there's also getting caught between Eren and Jean, two people who might just be the best and worst decisions you ever made. If navigating college wasn't complicated enough already, then adding in a messy love triangle you never saw coming might be. Mature 18+ content: smut, drugs, adult themes + other triggers. --- #1 in collegeau 13/04/26 #1 in jean 24/04/26 #1 in erenxreader 06/05/26 #3 in jeanxreader 06/04/26

Jean Kirstein was impossible. Loud. Arrogant. Annoying. He was everything you hated wanting. And yet, somehow, the two of you end up teaching each other things you didn't know you needed to learn. ⤷ ゛𝙞𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 some rivalries weren't always meant to stay simple. 🟠 - [updating when i can] ⁉️ SLOWburn . . . 💌 frenemies - to friends - to lovers ⚠️ mature themes.

"It started with comfort. It ended with him being the only thing that could break me." When Jean Kirstein and Eren Yeager move back to Shingashina from their studies in Amsterdam, you're a wreck. Freshly heartbroken, barely functioning, and definitely not ready to see the two men who've shaped your life: Eren, your brother, and Jean, his best friend, practically family. Jean's cocky, tattooed, too good with his hands, and the kind of person your brother always warned you about. And yet, when he's the only one who can help you navigate this mess, you can't ignore the way his presence unsettles you. Protective, attentive, and impossibly close, he reaches for you when you fall apart, and suddenly the line between care and something more blurs. He promised no feelings and he lied. {˙⋆✮rankings} 1 in #yearner 10/11/25 1 in #kirstein 10/11/25 12 in #shingekinokiojin 26/11/25 7 in #jeankirstein 5/12/25 1 in #jeankirschtein 10/12/25 17 in #attackontitan 4/03/26 (slight substacne abuse, smut, violence)

After prison for manslaughter, Jean Kirstein disappears, leaving Canada, a shattered night, and whispers that follow him like warnings. Shingashina is quiet. A small house. A forgettable job. A second chance he doesn't think he deserves. He's not here for redemption. He's here to survive. Painting steadies his hands; college keeps him moving. Until history class threatens to unravel him, and you appear. A volunteer tutor, patient, gentle, and impossibly stubborn. You treat him like he's human, not a stranger haunted by shadows. He keeps his distance at first. Short answers. Guarded glances. Walls built from knowing exactly what happens when people get too close. But you don't push. And that's worse. Slowly, silence cracks. Words become warmth, warmth becomes something dangerous. You start to see him, the version the world left behind. And Jean knows how this ends. The truth about Marco Bodt isn't a story. It's a fracture that never healed. And some fractures leave marks no one else should find. The closer you get, the more he realizes he doesn't want you to leave. And maybe, that's the most dangerous thing of all. ˙⋆✮ This story contains mature and potentially distressing themes, including depictions of violence, references to past trauma, and explicit sexual content. It also addresses homophobia and its emotional impact. Reader discretion is advised. Please take care while reading. ˙⋆✮ Rankings 1 in #marcobodt 1 in #kirstein 2 in #excon

you're a survey corp soldier. you like routine, to do lists, and order. you don't like jean kirstien. something about that annoying mouth of his and that stupid smirk pisses you off. why? you can't really say. old grudges resurface, secrets slip, and pasts are explored. enemies? definitely. allies? reluctantly. something more? ...you're not ready to ask. a story that journeys through the aot universe. a story where Jean isn't the second choice. ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Jean Kristen x stalker fem! reader Love isn't always loud. Sometimes it's quiet. Patient. Strategic. She didn't demand his attention- she made herself inevitable. And once he got used to her presence, there was no going back. Art: yuka_levi
