You swore you'd never love again. Not after grief hollowed you out and left you carrying ghosts. Jean Kirstein swore he'd never surrender again. Not after being treated like a puppet in a life scripted by someone else's control. Neither of you asked to collide. Together-nothing but unraveling threads, but scars sure have a way of recognizing each other. And once the walls crack, it's only a matter of time before everything shatters. What happens when the grief you've buried finds its reflection in another broken soul? ⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆ - 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧. 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 (𝟏𝟖+) 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭. 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲. 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 - ᐢ..ᐢ nice rankings ៸៸ ✦ ~ #1 erenjaeger ~ #1 snkfanfic ~ #7 jeanxreader ~ #10 aotfanfic

[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

(Reiner Braun X Genderless Reader) [From the Start - Laufey] Blinking a few times, Jean suddenly realized that he was still in the bar and sitting across from the blonde. He had only been lost in thought for a few minutes, but it felt like forever. Clearing his throat and catching Reiner's attention, he hesitated before asking a question he had wanted to ask for a very, very long time. "You're in love with [F/N], aren't you, Reiner?"
