Attack on Titan cowboy/western AU. Life stayed stagnant out at Smith's ranch. Day in and day out, your life stayed scheduled without change. You and your colleagues worked as a well-oiled machine. When times get tough, and another hand is needed out on the ranch, new-hire Jean Kirstein makes his way into all your lives with brand new boots, a clean felt cowboy hat, and an inflated ego, throwing a wrench in things.

began 06.27.2024 | © 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 . . . sophomore year of college holds things you never thought the universe would choose you to experience. you find yourself strolling this long and winding road without the one person who was supposed to guide you through everything, but with your chosen family-- a group of loud-mouthed friends who wouldn't dare let you lose yourself again. Though, a new-found face with a troubled past has made his way into your life, and your friend group, and the constant weight of heavy baggage on his shoulders makes him hard to get to-- all he has to do is warm up to the idea of being loved. revised/continuing through 2026. 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 modern college au set at a real school, drinking and use of drugs/drug abuse, explicit depictions of addiction, explicit sexual content including a theme of sexual ABUSE, themes and references to self-harm, death, suicide, allusions to hallucinations and schizophrenia canon/non-canon characterization. while in no way am I trying to glorify these things, a lot of the experiences that I have put into this book I have experienced myself-- and want to bring them to light. when i put warnings, please, for the love of god, take them seriously. proceed with caution as you read, because this story is not for the faint of heart.

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.

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. Now, you're both caught between who you've been and who you're trying to become-and somehow, that line keeps getting harder to see. *i want to clarify that i own none of the characters. y/n is the only one that belong to me.* i recommend reading this with a while background!! *trigger warnings will be added...* collegeau - i plan on making this kind of slow burn... please be patient and kind... this is my first fanfic so please enjoy! fanart creds: @yuka_levi on twt

꧁ 𓆩༺ 𝐉𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐊𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐱 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 ༻𓆪 ꧂ You've always lived here, in Trost, the same routine over and over guided you to the edge of boredom and affliction, you couldn't get worse anymore. You packed everything in hope to find something, 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑜𝑛𝑒, to make your life full of stars again. Even if you are still in the same city, where everybody knows everyone, a new chapter of your life is about to start. You moved closer to your college, Trost University, you're unknown here, you've always been fine with that... until he laid his deep, soulful eyes on you, Jean Kirstein. All you want, is to find that little spark you've lost with the destroying years of your life, and when two broken souls find each other, you never know what's going to happen. But your peace finds itself disturbed when an anonymous stalker decides to bring up your past and in particular, that one erased memory of last spring, during a party that you forgot from start to end. 𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑠 𝑑𝑜𝑛'𝑡 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑏𝑦 𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡. 𝜗ৎ 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 : 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭, 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬, 𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟, 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫, 𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐬, 𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐢𝐟 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐢'𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞.

(Jean Kirstein x Fem Reader) Slowburn | Strangers to Lovers | Forced Proximity | Star Crossed When a disoriented Marleyan woman quite literally falls out of the sky and into the forests of Paradis, Jean Kirstein makes a reckless decision: he hides her. Not necessarily out of kindness, but because turning her in would get her killed, and to him, that seems a lot worse. To her, he is a problem with a uniform, stubborn, provincial, and deeply that doing the right thing will keep him intact. To him, she is exhausting, defiant, and endlessly inconvenient, and somehow braver than he expected. Jean commits to getting her back to Liberio, treating it like any other operation: structured, defensible, inevitable. It is also the first duty he has ever accepted that requires him to participate in his own undoing, slowly and with intent. Along the way, the lines she was raised on begin to erode. Propaganda holds up poorly against shared meals, small arguments, and tender honesty. Monsters lose their shape. The clean logic of war, of enemy and ally, of victory and survival, become harder to hold when it becomes a face you grow to love. For her, getting home means letting go of what she was taught to fear. For Jean, it means doing what he promised, even when it hurts. This fic is set between Season 3 and Season 4 of Attack on Titan, with the emotional trajectory of Crash Landing On You. It follows canon where possible but diverges intentionally, with choices carrying real political and military consequences.

After a tragic accident back home, y/n moves to Trost to start over at Paradis University, hoping distance will quiet the guilt she can't seem to outrun. Once a musician who lived through a band she can't fully let go of, she's determined to stay invisible-focused only on music production and surviving the weight of everything she left behind. But when she gets pulled into a new band through a chance meeting on campus, old memories begin to resurface in ways she can't control. And when Jean, frustratingly sharp and impossible to ignore, starts getting under her skin, she finds herself caught between the life she's trying to escape and the one that's starting to pull her back together. --- set in modern day college au everyone is 18+ SLOW BURN!!!
