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?

Under the dorm lights || E.Jaeger
Four hours from home, Y/N arrives at Paradis University looking for a fresh start. New dorm, new classes, new life. But Paradis isn't as simple as it seems. There's Jean-the easygoing upperclassman who's far too charming for his own good. And then there's Eren-the sharp-eyed stranger who seems to know exactly how to get under her skin. 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.
Summer fields. J.Kristein
When Y/N trades city lights for country skies, it's only supposed to be for three months - a summer spent helping her aging grandmother on the quiet farmlands she once called home. She's confident, capable, and more at ease with crowded streets than muddy boots, but nothing could prepare her for the stillness - or for the people who live within it. Across the fence line, Erwin Smith runs the neighboring farm with his small crew: Reiner with his easy charm, Bertolt with his quiet heart, and Jean Kirstein - stubborn, sharp-tongued, and too handsome for his own good. What begins as awkward run-ins and half-hearted chores soon turns into something softer - a season of rainstorms, laughter, and starlit walks by the lake. The countryside begins to work its quiet spell on her, and somewhere between the smell of hay and the glow of summer nights, Y/N starts to see a different kind of life - one where home isn't just a place, but a person. In the golden haze of summer, under wide open skies, love grows like wildflowers - unexpected, unhurried, and impossible to ignore. "Are you sure you can handle this ride?" Aot au x cowboys.

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.

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.
