When Y/N trades city lights for country skies, it's only supposed to be for three months - a summer spent helping her aging grandmother on the quiet farmlands she once called home. She's confident, capable, and more at ease with crowded streets than muddy boots, but nothing could prepare her for the stillness - or for the people who live within it. Across the fence line, Erwin Smith runs the neighboring farm with his small crew: Reiner with his easy charm, Bertolt with his quiet heart, and Jean Kirstein - stubborn, sharp-tongued, and too handsome for his own good. What begins as awkward run-ins and half-hearted chores soon turns into something softer - a season of rainstorms, laughter, and starlit walks by the lake. The countryside begins to work its quiet spell on her, and somewhere between the smell of hay and the glow of summer nights, Y/N starts to see a different kind of life - one where home isn't just a place, but a person. In the golden haze of summer, under wide open skies, love grows like wildflowers - unexpected, unhurried, and impossible to ignore. "Are you sure you can handle this ride?" Aot au x cowboys.

You've spent your entire life proving you're worth keeping-training your body, sharpening your ambition, becoming whatever the world asked of you in order to survive in Marley as an Eldian. Paradis is supposed to be temporary. A pause. A place to breathe while the storm you created blows over back in Marley. Instead, it gives you everything you tried to leave behind. Old friends you've missed. Old truths you want to ignore. And of course; an attractive stranger who quickly becomes the bane of your existence here in Paradis. Jean Kirstein-sharp-tongued, stubborn, and infuriatingly familiar. A hockey player who calls you out for wanting more. For wanting out. For refusing to accept the identity you were born into. You clash over pride, survival, and the choices that shaped you both. But beneath the tension is something harder to ignore-an unfinished connection, a promise that never really stayed broken. cover art by xhealer_ on ig / tiktok!! good rankings! #1 in AOT -- 03/03/26 #1 in JEAN -- 03/03/26

"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)

In search of stillness, you leave Marley behind. Bruised feet, frayed dreams, and all. You land at Paradis University with a ballet scholarship and baggage you never unpacked. There, among paint-stained hands and late-night smoke breaks, you find yourself entangled in the lives of a tightly knit group of students, each carrying their own cracks. At the center of it all is Jean Kirstein: sharp-tongued, cigarette-breathed, and hiding more than he lets on. You're discipline. He's chaos. But the line between stage and studio starts to blur, and what begins as friction might just become a kind of art in itself.

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.
