They stitched up his skin, but left the hole in his memory wide open...
After transferring to a new university, you're determined to keep your past buried and your guard up. But when a familiar stranger with striking green eyes crosses your path, memories you thought were lost, or forgotten, begin to surface. College was supposed to be a clean slate. Something happened years ago. Something no one's talking about. And someone on campus knows exactly what it was.
Some things don't stay buried forever.

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+
Reverie
Stohess University, quite the contrast to your hometown Mitras, however your fathers passing has led you to explore beyond the solemn life you've been living. A bubbly dorm mate and her large friend group become a part of your daily life. One in the group you make a complicated connection with, no matter how much you try to avoid him, Eren Yaeger. College life seems to be everything you hoped for, building bonds, making memories and having fun, but what will happen when your fathers past catches up with you? CW: Mature topics such as drugs, violence, sex, kidnapping, torture and mentions of suicide will be mentioned in the story or are major plot points. Reader discretion is advised and chapters will have specific warnings. Enemies to lovers and slowburn, so stay tuned for many chapters :3! 2-3 weeks is my goal for updates.

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 aotfanfic 22/06/26 #1 in jeankirstein 10/08/26 #1 in jean 18/06/26 #1 in erenxreader 06/05/26 #1 in jeanxreader 19/07/26 #2 in snk 21/08/26 #2 in aotau 21/08/26 #2 in eren 05/09/26
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.
threads of intimacy | eren jaeger
*ೃ༄ EREN JAEGER X READER When you're paired with Eren Jaeger for a semester-long psych project on vulnerability, you expect awkward silences, not slow-burning tension and quiet moments that say more than words ever could. He's distant but not cruel, closed off but never cold. As the project forces you closer, you begin to see the cracks in his armour... and feel the ones forming in your own. This isn't just a study in intimacy. It's what happens when two people, frayed at the edges, start to unravel beside each other. 03.05.2025 -

began 06.27.2024 | © 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 . . . Sophomore year of college brings things you never imagined the universe would hand you. 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.

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.
