Her life had been like a puzzle where people always took a small piece from it. First her mother, then her father and even herself.
His life on the other hand was a veil of perfection, behind which he was tired of hiding.

the sweetest revenge (eren x reader)
COVER ART CREDS; redwarrior3 on tumblr :) In modern Paradis, you've joined the survey corps three months ago, and thought you've met everyone, until you stumble across ex titan shifter Eren Jaeger, who you've never seen before now. When you come to figure out that the girl he's in love with just so happens to be dating the boy you've been in love with for months, you both agree on an elaborate scheme to get revenge by pretending to date each other to make them jealous. As you spend more time with him, things slowly start unraveling for the worst. But is it really revenge you're both after? Or...is there something more? NOTE #1; i do not own any characters in Attack on Titan, the only thing i own is this plot. All rights to the characters & settings in this story go to Hajime Isayama. NOTE #2: this isn't really an enemies to lovers ff, but Eren is kind of an asshole throughout the story. but i promise he gets better. also, I've made the chapters quite long instead of splitting them up into shorter chapters, so sorry about the long reads lol. also also, the reader is presented as female, just for a head's up:) CONTENT WARNING: this fanfic contains smut, alcohol & drug (weed) consumption, obviously coarse language, talks of self harm, suicide, anxiety and depression, more graphic kinks (such as knife play, bondage, blood play), and overall is meant for a mature audience. I'll stop rambling now, enjoy! Also, please don't be afraid to give any sort of criticism in the comments, I'd love to hear what you think of it so far or what you would like to see :) cool rankings I've gotten; (feb 9th 2022 ) #2 in erenxreader #42 in erenjaeger #77 in eren #4 in erenfanfic #15 in erenfanfic #90 in erenjaeger #1 in erenjaegerfanfic (feb 12th 2022) #1 in erenfanfic #1 in erenjaegerfanfic #90 in shingekinokyojin #21 in sashabraus #34 in snkxreader #27 in jeankirstein (feb 13th 2022) #3 in attackontitan #1 in erenfanficComplete

You've spent your entire life proving you're worth keeping-training your body, sharpening your ambition, becoming whatever the world asked of you in order to survive in Marley as an Eldian. Paradis is supposed to be temporary. A pause. A place to breathe while the storm you created blows over back in Marley. Instead, it gives you everything you tried to leave behind. Old friends you've missed. Old truths you want to ignore. And of course; an attractive stranger who quickly becomes the bane of your existence here in Paradis. Jean Kirstein-sharp-tongued, stubborn, and infuriatingly familiar. A hockey player who calls you out for wanting more. For wanting out. For refusing to accept the identity you were born into. You clash over pride, survival, and the choices that shaped you both. But beneath the tension is something harder to ignore-an unfinished connection, a promise that never really stayed broken. cover art by xhealer_ on ig / tiktok!! good rankings! #1 in AOT -- 03/03/26 #1 in JEAN -- 03/03/26

Jean asks, his gaze stays away from the stars, and instead, he looks at you as if you were his star. You look at Jean, "Yeah, I do. Do you?" You brace yourself for the answer you knew he'd give you, but it still stung regardless. Jean takes a deep breath, like your question had been something that he'd talked about many times before, and he'd grown tired of giving the same answer each time. He shakes his head. "No, I don't." ✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . Y/N wanted to leave her hometown in Ragako and have a fresh new start. The continuous stares and whispering about her past only urging her to do the one thing she knew how to do: run away. Treading on a new journey into the future, she somehow finds herself opening doors to the past. Has she finally found a reason to stay? Or will y/n find herself turning back to her old ways? Jean Kirstein, an art student at Mitras university, tangled up in the friend group you freshly entered, leaves him no choice but to stay close by. Jean finds himself wanting to break down the wall he'd worked so desperately hard to build up, and allow you to take a look into his heart, into his soul. His cold exterior and even colder interior finally begin to melt into a wet puddle at his feet as he finds you to be his muse. The two of you never seemed to get along, but what happens when the line between hate and love finally begins to blur? ✦ . ⁺ . ✦ .

about you | jean kirstein x reader
You were supposed to leave him behind. The boy who challenged you, competed with you, annoyed you to your very core, until he didn't. Jean Kirstein, your academic rival, your almost-friend, your first love... and the person you left without saying goodbye. You thought distance would make it easier. That burying yourself in ambition, in grief, in survival, would make you forget. But nothing could quite erase the burn he left on your skin, or the look he gave you the night everything fell apart. Now you're back in Paradis. Just for a few months, just long enough to fulfill a promise, to see your friends again, to pretend that the past doesn't hurt anymore. But fate has other plans. Because the first time you see him again... he's not standing. He's broken, quiet, older...and yet everything you once loved still lingers in his eyes. From academic enemies to something impossibly tender and undone, this is a slow-burn story about growing up, losing everything, and finding your way back to the person who always felt like home. "Do you think I have forgotten about you?"
