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.

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.

The Scouts brought back the truth of the world, but the future cannot be fought with broken blades and outdated steel. As Paradis Island enters a frantic, four-year industrial race against global annihilation, newly appointed Chief Engineer Mattie Formann is tasked with weaponizing the forge. She is chaotic, brilliant, and completely unbothered by military decorum. Jean Kirstein is a battered, grieving squad leader trying to carry the weight of the dead on his shoulders. Clinging to each other in the dark aftermath of Shiganshina, their bond is fast, fierce, and driven by the heavy gravity of survival. While the political landscape of the island fractures and a broody Eren Yeager pushes them toward an explosive horizon, Jean and Mattie must learn the topography of each other's scars-and build a world where their heads can finally be quiet.

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
