You grew up beneath glowing skylines and neon signs, believing that the endless lights of the streets could fill every empty space inside of you. The city of Marley was your comfort, your escape, and the only place you had ever called home, even with the dark past that always loomed over you. But when new opportunities arrive, you transfer from Marley State University to Paradis University, leaving everything behind to start over in the quiet countryside. You settle with a group of welcoming people and you end up meeting Armin Arlert - whose warmth seems to reach places inside of you that no city light ever could and what begins as an unlikely friendship slowly blossoms into something deeper. You discover a truth you had never expected: all of those years spent chasing the brilliance of the city had distracted you from what you truly needed. Because sometimes, the brightest lights aren't found in skyscrapers or neon signs-they're found in the people who stay beside you when your world goes dark.

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.

Somehow, you find yourself walking through it without the one person who was supposed to guide you through everything, carrying more baggage than you ever thought you could bear. So you spend your days surrounded by the family you've chosen instead-a loud, chaotic group of friends who refuse to let you lose yourself again. Then someone new finds his way into your life-and into your friend group. He's guarded, burdened by a past that still clings to him, carrying the kind of weight that makes him difficult to reach. But beneath all those walls is someone who's only ever needed one thing: To believe he's worthy of being loved. revised/continuing through 2026.

[Jean Kirstein x Reader] College AU ╔══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══╗ For twelve long years, she has fought against Jean Kirstein, the brilliant, insufferable academic rival who seems to always be one step ahead. Their rivalry is a quiet storm, the kind that brews in classrooms and library corners, sharp words and silent glances exchanged across chalkboards. She has never needed anyone, least of all him, until now. Desperate to pass Calculus, a subject she has long avoided, she swallows her pride and turns to him for help. It's not easy, surrendering to a man who knows her every weakness, her every flaw, and yet, as they spend late nights in the glow of desk lamps, something shifts between them. In the space between lessons and equations, an unexpected friendship is born-fragile at first, like the delicate curve of an unsolved formula. But as the days pass, it grows, complicated and tender, until the lines between competition and affection blur. [Caution] Drugs, smoking, cursing, ect
