Running is easy. Forgetting is not.
After loss hollowed out your world, you vanished-leaving behind everything and everyone who once knew your name. But grief doesn't stay buried, and neither does the past. Now, at Shiganshina Metropolitan University, the ghosts you tried to outrun begin to stir.
Old friends find you again, and new bonds start to form. And then there's Eren Yeager-sharp-tongued, unreadable, untouchable. He's the last person you expect to understand the silence you carry. But sometimes the most broken souls recognize each other in the dark.
!!Warning!!

After a staggering loss leaves you sprinting to the solace of a fresh start, you trade a life filled with rumours and self-isolation for something completely anew. An entirely foreign college with the tie of a singular friend ends up warping into a complex web of new and old, that harsh branding seemingly chasing wherever you go. While fighting to keep a fragile sense of mind afloat, the patchwork of long forgotten and recent relationships mesh into your current. A single group invading every aspect of your life, and for once you're willing to release the reins and follow fate. What happens when you find a reflection of yourself - an instinct to lash out, sleep-craving eyes, and the hole of a missing part, staring back at you? ˚ ༘♡ eren x fem reader. aot college au. slow burn. dark content. explicit topics. 18+
stages & studios | j. kirstein
In search of stillness, you leave Marley behind. Bruised feet, frayed dreams, and all. You land at Paradis University with a ballet scholarship and baggage you never unpacked. There, among paint-stained hands and late-night smoke breaks, you find yourself entangled in the lives of a tightly knit group of students, each carrying their own cracks. At the center of it all is Jean Kirstein: sharp-tongued, cigarette-breathed, and hiding more than he lets on. You're discipline. He's chaos. But the line between stage and studio starts to blur, and what begins as friction might just become a kind of art in itself.

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.
