"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)

A new apartment was supposed to mean a clean slate. You didn't plan on inheriting two roommates, a whole friend group, and a boy who watches you like you're a question he's afraid to ask. The people you meet feel close, too close, bound by something they don't talk about and change the subject to avoid. But Jean Kirstein is different. He keeps his distance, guarded and sharp, yet somehow you keep running into the version of him he doesn't show anyone else. Not on purpose. Not at first. Late-night hang-outs, unexplained tension, and the sense that everyone is holding their breath around you pull you deeper into things you were never supposed to notice. And while you try to build your own new beginning, you can't shake the feeling that this group's past is catching up to all of you. Because starting over is easy, until the past you didn't want to remember existing starts looking you in the eyes. Especially when those eyes belong to Jean.

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: 09.11.2025 🥉 in #arminarlert (23.06.2025) 🥈 in #arminarlert (24.06.2025) 🥇 in #arminarlert (03.07.2025)

Jean Kirstein friends to lovers slow burn. In your senior year of high school, your best friend went missing without a trace and you were the last person to see her before she disappeared, making you the prime suspect. Two years later, you return to your hometown to start your sophomore year of college and run into a face you never thought you would see again, Eren Jaeger. Assimilating into his group of friends, you realize just how connected the world truly is. With the two-year anniversary off your friend's disappearance nearing close, you begin to question loyalties within Eren's friends. Near the anniversary of your friend's disappearance, another person goes missing and you, once again, were the last person to be seen with them. Were you just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Or are you not as innocent as you propose... A certain mullet-headed friend of yours is fully convinced of your innocence, enough to help you bring justice to your friends who have disappeared. DISCLAIMER: Y/N is an unreliable narrator and often lies to herself. The truth of a lot of things rests within other POVs that are not Y/N's. This does not mean Y/N is lying all the time, it just means that this fic will require a lot of thinking, which may not be everyone's cup of tea. This story will not be a romance-oriented fic, it is a mystery plot with a romance sub-plot. Not affiliated with Attack on Titan by Hajime Isayama.

She sang to survive, never expecting her voice would change someone else's life. Performing at a local town bar was all Y/n knew, her only source of income and escape. But when a mysterious stranger appeared in the crowd hiding behind a hoodie, a black beanie, and a mask covering the bottom half of his face, he looked more like a thief than a man trying to enjoy his night at the bar. The only thing that seemed familiar were the eyes she had only seen through a screen. The forgotten rockstar, Connie Springer. And what better way to earn money than working for the fallen star desperate to reclaim the career his addictions had destroyed? What could possibly go wrong when you're writing songs for the known walking disaster.
