Wild west au set in the late 1800's , cowboy jean x city girl fem!reader
Being sent to the west was supposed to be a reality check, a time for you to learn responsibilities and grow out of your pampered, aristocratic behaviour engraved into your mind by the luxury lifestyle you were fed throughout your life. A time for you to learn the needs to be a good wife, to be able to provide for your families business and continue to grace pride upon your name. But when a trouble-prone cowboy makes his way into your life, a sudden need to break free from the generational curse of arranged marriage and business opportunities presents itself in the most untimely ways. All because of him; this cowboy with honey glazed eyes and messy ash hair. Maybe this wasn't the exile you were promised. Is this, freedom?

(Jean x fem! reader) Three years ago, you left Paradis Cove behind-along with your sketchbook, your friends, and the pieces of yourself that shattered after Carla's death. Now you're back, pulled home by something you can't quite name and surrounded by the people you never stopped missing. Eren is quieter. Jean won't meet your eyes. And the beach house feels like it's been holding its breath since the day you walked out. As summer unfolds, memories resurface like driftwood-half-buried, sharp around the edges. Late-night bonfires, tangled friendships, grief that lingers like smoke, and something unspoken simmering beneath it all. This isn't just a summer reunion. It's a reckoning. And maybe-just maybe-a chance to become someone new.

the wrong side of the sea [jean kirstein]
(Jean Kirstein x Fem Reader) Slowburn | Strangers to Lovers | Forced Proximity | Star Crossed When a disoriented Marleyan woman quite literally falls out of the sky and into the forests of Paradis, Jean Kirstein makes a reckless decision: he hides her. Not necessarily out of kindness, but because turning her in would get her killed, and to him, that seems a lot worse. To her, he is a problem with a uniform, stubborn, provincial, and deeply that doing the right thing will keep him intact. To him, she is exhausting, defiant, and endlessly inconvenient, and somehow braver than he expected. Jean commits to getting her back to Liberio, treating it like any other operation: structured, defensible, inevitable. It is also the first duty he has ever accepted that requires him to participate in his own undoing, slowly and with intent. Along the way, the lines she was raised on begin to erode. Propaganda holds up poorly against shared meals, small arguments, and tender honesty. Monsters lose their shape. The clean logic of war, of enemy and ally, of victory and survival, become harder to hold when it becomes a face you grow to love. For her, getting home means letting go of what she was taught to fear. For Jean, it means doing what he promised, even when it hurts. This fic is set between Season 3 and Season 4 of Attack on Titan, with the emotional trajectory of Crash Landing On You. It follows canon where possible but diverges intentionally, with choices carrying real political and military consequences.

Merry Christmas, Don't Call || Jean X Reader
{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.

Between late-night parties, whispered tensions, and rivalries she doesn't understand, Y/N quickly realizes that starting over won't be easy. At Paradis, everyone has history... and now, she's becoming part of it. ‼️ WARNING ‼️ This fanfic contains talks of drug use, alcohol use, suicide, and (most importantly) sex.
