{ Jean Kirstein x fem! Y/N } || Modern AOT AU Your life is in shambles. Your relationship with your boyfriend Jared is hanging on by a thread ever since he moved to New Eldia to pursue a career in music. After one of the most grueling semesters you've endured throughout the entirety of your college career, you have one thing to look forward to- moving to Marley City. With a new degree in biology, a job working in a research lab one of the most prestigious universities in the country under your belt, and a chance to live a life you've only ever imagined in the city that never sleeps- you know you have to take charge of your life before you lose your last shred of humanity. You move into a run-down 2 bed/1bath apartment in the heart of the Marley district, expecting a girl your age to occupy the other bedroom based on what the leasing company told you. Instead, a tall 22 year old man appears in your apartment, and you don't need your degree to tell that you guys are polar opposites. You're a bright, diligent, 4.0+ GPA scholar with dreams of getting into an M.D/PhD program. An introverted homebody at heart with a close circle and a closed off heart. A self-proclaimed nerd with a knack for the finer things in life like cheap moscato, obscure coffee shops, and long days sunbathing with a book in hand and headphones on. He's an attractive narcissist who only cares about going out and fooling around with anyone and anything that distracts him from his dreary job at a small investment banking firm. Sassy and reckless with an overly nonchalant attitude that makes your blood boil. Two opposing forces, one unit in the big city. Only the universe knows what apartment 215 has in store for you. ⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚ 18+, dark content mentioned so please heed any trigger warnings and read at your own risk!

Not after being treated like a puppet in a life scripted by someone else's control.

He was the easy target, the nerd she bullied to prove she was number one. He never fought back. He never looked up. She was fire and sharp edges, fearless and untouchable- until the boy with glasses vanished, only to return with a dangerous new light in his eyes. Now the battlefield is no longer just textbooks and exams, it's pride, power, and something neither of them expected to feel. And when they collide, nothing will ever be the same. ────୨ৎ──── ────୨ৎ──── Nerd Armin x femReader AoT college au Started: 17.05.2025 Ended: ??? 🥉 in #arminarlert (23.06.2025) 🥈 in #arminarlert (24.06.2025) 🥇 in #arminarlert (03.07.2025)

Captain Levi notices you are everything a Scout should be. Strong, fearless, loyal, and compassionate. Being considered the oldest amongst triplets, you have found yourself always taking care of everyone. You are needed for everything. The Scouts, your brothers, your friends, everyone, needs you. You are unstoppable, or so you thought. Tragic events send you and your brothers to join the Scouts 1st division under Commander Erwin. There, everyone quickly notices your strength, sharp mind, and love. But sometimes, even the strongest can break. Sometimes the fearless are afraid. Sometimes the ones needed for others the most, need someone too. ***This story follows canon events of AOT! There WILL be spoilers*** **I do not own Attack on Titan story or characters.

You weren't looking for him. Just air, just quiet, just an escape from the crush of voices and the bass rattling the walls. But sometimes the night gives you things you didn't ask for. Jean Kirstein is leaning against the balcony railing, half-forgotten beer in his hand, half a ghost in the moonlight. He's not the party type, and neither are you. One conversation, half-laughter and half-confession, is enough to shift the ground beneath your feet. Enough to peel back the noise and reveal something fragile, something that feels like possibility. It's a story about noticing the wrong people at the right time. About grief and softness and the way two strangers can carry each other through the weight of a night. Maybe it means nothing. Maybe it means everything. But he stays.
