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

about you | jean kirstein x reader by astroyoons

You were supposed to leave him behind. The boy who challenged you, competed with you, annoyed you to your very core, until he didn't. Jean Kirstein, your academic rival, your almost-friend, your first love... and the person you left without saying goodbye. You thought distance would make it easier. That burying yourself in ambition, in grief, in survival, would make you forget. But nothing could quite erase the burn he left on your skin, or the look he gave you the night everything fell apart. Now you're back in Paradis. Just for a few months, just long enough to fulfill a promise, to see your friends again, to pretend that the past doesn't hurt anymore. But fate has other plans. Because the first time you see him again... he's not standing. He's broken, quiet, older...and yet everything you once loved still lingers in his eyes. From academic enemies to something impossibly tender and undone, this is a slow-burn story about growing up, losing everything, and finding your way back to the person who always felt like home. "Do you think I have forgotten about you?"

Where Y/N finds herself between hockey players Eren Jaeger and Jean Kirstein. Your dream life was standing right infront of you, eager to take you in with open arms. It had been five years since your father passed away and your bestfriend moved to the next city over. Five long years of watching the world pass you by, no longer having the motivation to do anything. The time had finally come to leave behind your old, depressing, lonely life behind and start your freshmen year at the University of Shiganshina. Having made a promise to eachother years prior, you were finally moving into your shared dorm with your childhood bestfriend, Sasha Braus. After meeting many of the friends Sasha had made in your time spent apart, you find yourself sitting on the cold plastic seats of the schools hockey arena. Unbeknownst to you that your life was about to get extremely tangled up with two of the players you watched absentmindedly skate out onto the ice. What happens when you find yourself caught between them? They settle it the only way they know how to, on the ice.

Paper Moons by horsefaceluvr69

You've always been the good one, the disciplined pre-law student from Marley who never colored outside the lines. Years of living under your family's expectations and the shadow of a scandal no one dares mention have taught you to keep your head down and your reputation spotless. So when your eccentric boss offers you a high-paying summer job with the wealthy, untouchable Kirstein family on Paradis Island, it feels like more than just a paycheck. It's an escape. A breath of salt air. Maybe even a chance to find the parts of yourself you've kept locked away. But what starts as a simple gig quickly unravels into something far more dangerous to your plans, your self-control, and your heart. The nights stretch long, the air grows heavy, and Jean Kirstein: the sharp tongued, shamelessly charming heir who seems hell-bent on testing just how disciplined you really are. This summer was meant to be easy. Instead, it just might ruin you in all the best ways.

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
