you're a survey corp soldier. you like routine, to do lists, and order. you don't like jean kirstein. something about that annoying mouth of his and that stupid smirk pisses you off. why? you can't really say. old grudges resurface, secrets slip, and pasts are explored. enemies? definitely. allies? reluctantly. something more? ...you're not ready to ask. a story that journeys through the aot universe. a story where Jean isn't the second choice. ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ #1 aotfanfic - Jun 2026

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. Jean x reader fanfic. My second project please be kind!

After witnessing the fall of Shiganshina, you only had one goal; teach the Titans that brought you grief and misery a lesson. During the two years of boot camp, you made friends with the iconic, unbreakable duo, Marco and Jean. But once one of them sets their sights on you, things tend to get heated up. Reuniting with Jean, you become infatuated, and begin to have an affair with him. What the future holds is for you to discover. - some mature contents -side note: this is a much older work of mine (written almost 6 years ago), and does not reflect my current writing abilities.

𝐉𝐄𝐀𝐍 𝐊.　﹕𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗗 𝗪𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗔𝗨 ❀　　　　　 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐎𝐑𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐃 sun, you're the center of attention; the town of Marley's prized pigeon, always done up and shown off. Ever since you were a little girl, you've never taken societal standards seriously. You curse like a sailor, severely lack a poker face, while also loving each dress you're submerged into on the daily. Your life is overly organized and predictable - that is, until one dreadful night. From there, everything you knew, all of the predictably, tilts on its axis. You become a devoted follower to the alternate side of things, fawning over a man dressed in leather and lead.

You moved to Marley away from home. You needed a breather from your past life and are in need of something new. Your long distance best friend Pieck Finger who lives in Marley convinced you to move in with her. One night she takes you to go with her to a popular Halloween Festival near by. As you walk through the small park, a tall scare actor scares you so bad you scream. Little do you know that scare actor's name is Jean Kirstein and he is going to be a big part of your new life in Marley.

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
