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.

Y/n used to have a future. Once upon a time, there were dreams of stages, spotlights, and cheers - until a single injury shattered all of it. Now? She's barely hanging onto college, drowning in grades, and doing her best to push the world away before it leaves her first. Jean Kirstein wasn't supposed to stick around. Annoying, persistent, and impossible to shake, he shows up when Y/n least wants anyone to. But sometimes the wrong people slip through the cracks, and sometimes the heart can't tell the difference between a lifeline and a hook. This isn't just a love story. This is a story about a boy who let the light in a girl's dark world, flickering where she never thought it could glow again.

you are sent to your uncle erwin's farm for the summer after your dad decides you need to "stay out of trouble" following one too many incidents that put you on the verge of being kicked out of college at the end of your junior year. after a wild year, you couldn't possibly be reined in... or so you thought. you aren't thrilled about spending the summer on a farm, but there's a quiet curiosity tugging at you too. this is where your mom grew up-where she learned to be herself before she became just a collection of photographs and half-told stories. the only thing she left behind. when you arrive, everything looks exactly like it does in the worn photo album you've carried for years. the creaking porch, the wide open fields, the faded barn painted in memory more than color. it's all familiar in a way that feels almost unreal. almost. except for one thing. the boy working on the farm. he doesn't appear in any of the photos. and yet, somehow, it feels like he belongs here more than anyone else. you don't know it yet, but this summer might be exactly what you needed. fanart: urielbeaupre *i do not own any characters besides yn!* rankings #1 reinerxreader 7.18.2026
