Transferring to Trost University was either the best or worst decision of your life. Getting thrown into a dysfunctional friend group during sophomore year can definitely change things up. With the gossiping, the drama and the boys- especially the boys- things can get complicated real fast.
A story in which you deal with the bullshit and harsh reality that undergrad is. The love, pain and of course partying that comes with being a youth. Long story short,
In which Jean and Eren fight over the girl oblivious to their feelings: you.
And shit hits the fan, in just a short amount of time.
Content 18+, Mature through smut, drugs, general adult themes & major character death.
Jean x Reader | Eren x Reader

bury the moon | eren jaeger
Eren Jaeger's grief moves like a distant planet; slow, heavy, and always just out of reach. At Trost University, he circles the edges of his own life, camera in hand, silence wound tight around him like gravity. No one dares cross his orbit. Except you. In the quiet between photographs and prose, something begins to shift; tides drawn by unseen moons, tethered by the pull of what neither of you can name. But healing is never clean. And the closer you drift, the more everything warps, making it harder to tell where your pain ends and his begins. In a world ruled by absence and the ache of distance stars, what's left of you when someone sees the parts of you that you've kept buried the longest? ⋆⭒˚｡⋆.𖥔 ݁ ˖🪐.𖥔 ݁ ˖ college au, no titan powers, all characters 18+, smut, alcohol & drug use, talk of death and grief. reader discretion advised. i do not own any of the characters featured in this story. all characters belong to hajime isayama, the creator of attack on titan. this work is purely a fan creation and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the original creator.

[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
When the Lights Come On
College au: Jean x reader | Eren x reader Transferring to Trost State was meant to be a fresh start: new uni, new friends, and most importantly - no fuck-ups. Except that last one was proving to be a lot more difficult than you thought. Between wild parties, a dysfunctional friend group, and one reckless night, you find yourself thrown head first into the chaos of college life - of course including all the love, pain, loyalty, (and shit ton of partying) that comes with it. Oh, and there's also getting caught between Eren and Jean, two people who might just be the best and worst decisions you ever made. If navigating college wasn't complicated enough already, then adding in a messy love triangle you never saw coming might be. Mature 18+ content: smut, drugs, adult themes + other triggers. --- #1 in collegeau 13/04/26 #1 in jean 24/04/26 #1 in erenxreader 06/05/26 #2 in jeanxreader 12/05/26
submerged | eren jaeger
Shiganshina University promised freedom; a chance to start over. Falling into your roommate's inner circle was easy. Falling for Eren Jaeger? A mistake you never saw coming. He's reckless. Detached. A storm disguised as a boy. You know better than to get too close. Yet, you can't help but drown in him-in the anger, in the ache, in the things he'll never say. Somehow, loving him feels like losing yourself. But maybe that's exactly what you've been running from all along. ੈ✩‧₊˚🐋 college au, no titan powers, all characters 18+, smut, alcohol & drug use, talk of death, grief, talk about killing, suicide. reader discretion advised. i do not own any of the characters featured in this story. all characters belong to hajime isayama, the creator of attack on titan. this work is purely a fan creation and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the original creator.Complete

Chasing Kirstein | College AU
College is hard. Living two doors down from Jean Kirstein? Even harder. New to Stohess University, you're just trying to survive dorm life, avoid emotional attachment, and maybe pass psych class. But when your path collides with the university's most irritatingly attractive frat boy, you find yourself dragged into a world of stolen hoodies, late-night arguments, and group chats from hell. He's loud, cocky, and so not your type. So why does he keep ending up in your bed? Psych class with Reiner, being besties with Sasha and Connie and having Hitch and Annie as your roomies is NOT for the weak, not to mention Jean Kirstein in the mix of it all. A chaotic, messy, and (unfortunately) romantic Jean x Reader college AU featuring Eren's emotional breakdowns, love triangles, Hitch's savage commentary, and the most toxic group chat on campus. This is an ongoing piece and I will update it regularly. I feel like there is a gap in the market for genuinely decent Jean fanfics so I wrote this, just for fun.
