Jean Kirstein x Reader - College AU, Slow Burn Romance & Self-Discovery
At Trost University, Jean Kirstein is a talented but guarded art student, sketching faceless figures that hold more truth than words ever could. You're a psychology major on the pre-med track, juggling classes, friendship, and a carefully hidden home life haunted by an abusive father.
Thrown together by a spilled coffee and a shared love of art, you and Jean navigate the messy edges of trust, trauma, and creativity. As your friendship deepens, so does the unspoken connection between you - a slow burn of mutual understanding, quiet strength, and the courage to be seen.
Can two broken souls find healing in charcoal sketches and whispered truths? Or will the weight of secrets keep you both trapped in shadow?

Merry Christmas, Don't Call
{Rewritten} You thought this Christmas would be perfect. The city sparkled with lights; carols drifted through the streets made everything feel magical. But then it all fell apart. In an instant the warmth vanished, leaving you cold and alone, right in the middle of the bustling city. Your chest ached, your heart felt ripped out and the question kept looping in your mind; what just happened? Meeting Jean Kirstein, the new starting quarterback, you thought that would just be another person added to your friend group. But the closer he gets, the sooner you realized that there's something more to him that keeps pulling you in. Is it because he's a new face? Or is this feeling more underlying with a different feeling than what you expect. Jean x Fem Reader Modern AU in college, no titan powers Not my art!! Couldn't find the original artist for the cover.

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.

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![𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐓 [𝐉𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐊𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/256010374-256-k68218.jpg)

A Month to Temptation
For an introvert, life is all about balance-quiet routines, solitude, and carefully crafted excuses to avoid the chaos of other people. But nothing could prepare her for the nightmare of a mandatory month-long winter trip with every law student she knows. Trapped in a snowy mountain resort. No silence. No escape. Just endless noise, exhaustion, and forced socializing. And then there's Henry Caliver. Smartest in their class. Everyone's favorite. Brilliant. Confident. Completely untouchable. The guy every girl wants-and the one she never expected to even notice her...until one awkward encounter in the hot tub changes everything. What begins as a moment of accidental closeness turns into late-night conversations, stolen glances across crowded rooms, and a dangerous pull neither of them can resist. The mountains were supposed to be her personal hell, but temptation lurks around every corner. But what if the one person who's out of reach suddenly feels too close? What if one month is enough to break down walls she's spent years building? And what if this nightmare trip turns into the one thing she never knew she needed? One month. One impossible connection. One chance to change everything. A slow-burn, sizzling contemporary romance full of tension, longing, and unforgettable chemistry.

You swore you'd never love again. Not after grief hollowed you out and left you carrying ghosts. Jean Kirstein swore he'd never surrender again. Not after being treated like a puppet in a life scripted by someone else's control. Neither of you asked to collide. Together-nothing but unraveling threads, but scars sure have a way of recognizing each other. And once the walls crack, it's only a matter of time before everything shatters. What happens when the grief you've buried finds its reflection in another broken soul? ⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆ - 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧. 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 (𝟏𝟖+) 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭. 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲. 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 - ᐢ..ᐢ nice rankings ៸៸ ✦ ~ #1 erenjaeger ~ #1 snkfanfic ~ #7 jeanxreader ~ #10 aotfanfic
