When Y/N moves into a new apartment complex for a fresh start, she's just hoping for peace, privacy, and strong enough Wi-Fi to keep up with her favorite guilty pleasure: watching Atlas, the masked camboy whose soft voice and sinful tongue drive her wild night after night.
What she doesn't know? Her mysterious new neighbor, quiet, nerdy, glasses-wearing Armin is exactly who she's been fantasizing about.
With identities hidden and desires burning just beneath the surface, lines start to blur as their lives slowly collide. How long can secrets stay secret when your favorite fantasy lives right next door?

Wave's Ode | Armin Arlert
˚₊‧꒰ Nerd!Armin x Reader .ᐟ꒱ ‧ He is perfect. Kind, softspoken-and undeniably brilliant. An angel, some might say. Armin Arlert had his whole life planned out already, from where to attend university, friends to hang out with, and the path he would walk on. Everyone already read him like a book, they already knew his routines, his image, and the girl he would be with. But when she enters the picture, everything crumbles around him so slowly. His perfectly curated image, his thought out plans, and his routine-all engulfed in this new light. Armin Arlert x Reader AOT University AU Art by: @mochikuyo on ig and tiktok !

Inside These Walls
Armin Arlert has spent years confined to the quiet routine of his bedroom, his world reduced to four walls and a window that leads nowhere. With a body that betrays him at every turn and parents who smother him with concern, he's long since stopped hoping for more. His world is small, until Eren Jaeger moves in next door. Loud, persistent, and impossible to ignore, Eren is everything Armin isn't. But Armin knows better than to get attached. His body has limits. His heart has defenses. Eren has wounds of his own. Yet, Armin can't remember the last time he felt this alive. -- Or, that one Eremin neighbors-to-friends-to-lovers fic where Armin's an exhausted, chronically ill recluse, and Eren teaches him how to live and love again. (The beginning's a little rough but it gets better I promise)Complete

For the first time in your life, you've taken matters into your own hands and granted yourself some much-needed change. Not only does Marley State University offer a great program, but it also gives you people who feel like the functioning family you've always longed for. Of course, you can't get along with everyone-especially not those who don't even make an effort of getting to know you. But maybe there's more to that than just pure arrogance. And yet, old shadows seem to follow you everywhere. Your guilt-tainted heart, always torn and distant, will it finally be set free and find its home? © all rights met . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

✓ beyond the bright sea | eren jaeger
Y/N lived on a secluded small island named Marley, and it takes a fortune to cross the Pacific Ocean to try and get to the mainland, so mostly poor suckers lived on Marley. Y/N's friend, Eren, always had a dream to see what it's like to be on the mainland. But Eren knew that his time to keep seeing Y/N another day was coming up short, but Y/N had no idea about it so she lived another day without thinking it. And that's exactly how Eren wanted it to be. ;eren yeager x fem!reader ;started3/3/21 ;ended: 4/20/21 ;modern au thanks :) bio for artistComplete
