Two souls caught in their own solitary orbits until they inevitably clash...

-

Following the rigid path of your own obligations, you find yourself at the University of Sina. Junior year is supposed to be a good one for you. No drama, no stress, and definitely no guys. In an instant, Jean Kirstein threatens all of that.

He is everything you try not to be. Cynical, arrogant, and kind of an asshole.

But sometimes the things you've been avoiding end up being the things you've been needing.

Caught in the delicate gap between shadows and incandescence, nothing is certain. And nothing will ever be the same again.

This is the story of two hearts trying to beat in synchronicity. Of two people desperately trying to exist in the space between each other amid the chaos within themselves.All Rights Reserved

[Jean Kirstein x Reader] College AU ╔══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══╗ For twelve long years, she has fought against Jean Kirstein, the brilliant, insufferable academic rival who seems to always be one step ahead. Their rivalry is a quiet storm, the kind that brews in classrooms and library corners, sharp words and silent glances exchanged across chalkboards. She has never needed anyone, least of all him, until now. Desperate to pass Calculus, a subject she has long avoided, she swallows her pride and turns to him for help. It's not easy, surrendering to a man who knows her every weakness, her every flaw, and yet, as they spend late nights in the glow of desk lamps, something shifts between them. In the space between lessons and equations, an unexpected friendship is born-fragile at first, like the delicate curve of an unsolved formula. But as the days pass, it grows, complicated and tender, until the lines between competition and affection blur. [Caution] Drugs, smoking, cursing, ect

A Bell To Ring || Jean x Reader by hiiwriteforfun

Y/n used to have a future. Once upon a time, there were dreams of stages, spotlights, and cheers - until a single injury shattered all of it. Now? She's barely hanging onto college, drowning in grades, and doing her best to push the world away before it leaves her first. Jean Kirstein wasn't supposed to stick around. Annoying, persistent, and impossible to shake, he shows up when Y/n least wants anyone to. But sometimes the wrong people slip through the cracks, and sometimes the heart can't tell the difference between a lifeline and a hook. This isn't just a love story. This is a story about a boy who let the light in a girl's dark world, flickering where she never thought it could glow again.

Under His Skin ˙⋆✮ Jean Kirstein by burntoashe

"It started with comfort. It ended with him being the only thing that could break me." When Jean Kirstein and Eren Yeager move back to Shingashina from their studies in Amsterdam, you're a wreck. Freshly heartbroken, barely functioning, and definitely not ready to see the two men who've shaped your life: Eren, your brother, and Jean, his best friend, practically family. Jean's cocky, tattooed, too good with his hands, and the kind of person your brother always warned you about. And yet, when he's the only one who can help you navigate this mess, you can't ignore the way his presence unsettles you. Protective, attentive, and impossibly close, he reaches for you when you fall apart, and suddenly the line between care and something more blurs. He promised no feelings and he lied. {˙⋆✮rankings} 1 in #yearner 10/11/25 1 in #kirstein 10/11/25 12 in #shingekinokiojin 26/11/25 7 in #jeankirstein 5/12/25 1 in #jeankirschtein 10/12/25 (slight substacne abuse, smut, violence)

𝙆. 𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙮. 𝙞 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪. - You arrive at Trost State University on an exchange scholarship with one rule: this is temporary. 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. Because some lives don't drift apart. They collide. cover art by xhealer_ on ig / tiktok!!

apt. 215 { Jean Kirstein X Reader } by itsthebeehere

{ Jean Kirstein x fem! Y/N } || Modern AOT AU Your life is in shambles. Your relationship with your boyfriend Jared is hanging on by a thread ever since he moved to New Eldia to pursue a career in music. After one of the most grueling semesters you've endured throughout the entirety of your college career, you have one thing to look forward to- moving to Marley City. With a new degree in biology, a job working in a research lab one of the most prestigious universities in the country under your belt, and a chance to live a life you've only ever imagined in the city that never sleeps- you know you have to take charge of your life before you lose your last shred of humanity. You move into a run-down 2 bed/1bath apartment in the heart of the Marley district, expecting a girl your age to occupy the other bedroom based on what the leasing company told you. Instead, a tall 22 year old man appears in your apartment, and you don't need your degree to tell that you guys are polar opposites. You're a bright, diligent, 4.0+ GPA scholar with dreams of getting into an M.D/PhD program. An introverted homebody at heart with a close circle and a closed off heart. A self-proclaimed nerd with a knack for the finer things in life like cheap moscato, obscure coffee shops, and long days sunbathing with a book in hand and headphones on. He's an attractive narcissist who only cares about going out and fooling around with anyone and anything that distracts him from his dreary job at a small investment banking firm. Sassy and reckless with an overly nonchalant attitude that makes your blood boil. Two opposing forces, one unit in the big city. Only the universe knows what apartment 215 has in store for you. ⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚ 18+, dark content mentioned so please heed any trigger warnings and read at your own risk!
