You and Eren had been friends since elementary school. Your friends would say the two of you were practically conjoined at the hip.
He was a frat boy now that you guys were in college. You attended the same college and, from what you could say, Eren was with a new girl every other day (unless he really committed, which didn't usually happen). However, around you, he's been acting different lately, and you were the last one to notice.

| AOT COLLEGE AU | Eren Yeager x Reader Sophomore year of university. Moving all by yourself in hopes of escaping memories of grief you never truly let yourself process yet you carry with you every day, constant reminders scattered between your belongings along with the hardships you never speak of. You were ready to rebrand yourself, positively and properly. New city means new friends. A city like Trost is much smaller than where you came from, Marley. None of that prepares you for Eren Jaeger. A rival in class. A constant irritation. A mirror of everything you refuse to feel. But also, a friend you mustn't ever lose. You share the same friends, same labs, same sleepless nights you share at Titan Hope Medical Center. You begin to recognize the hurt in him-the same kind you carried across cities to escape. Eren Jaeger is sharp-tongued, distant and cold. Everything you don't want to be drawn to. And hatred is sometimes just pain mistranslated. Wounds don't heal on their own. Some need to be opened first with the help of a boy with bright jade eyes that have slowly dulled over the years who was more than willing to carry your burdens alongside with his own. Trauma has a way of stitching people together-whether they're ready or not.

Midnight Confessions (ONGOING) [ ErenxReader)
❝ If this ends, then what's left for me? ...Don't tell me to let you go. You know I can't. ❝ The first day of college at Stohess Academy is finally here. Things actually go pretty well... until you're hit with a partner project. And your partner? None other than the good-looking loner, Eren Yeager. Spending more time with him feels like playing with fire. You show him some of your bad habits, and he drags you into his. Slowly, you realize it's not just a project anymore - it's the start of something you probably shouldn't want, but can't stay away from. ୨🌷୧ Eren x female Reader ⚠ Warnings: All characters 18+, College AU, no powers, heavy smut, SA mentions, drug usage, violence, sexual content, mentions of SH Reader discretion advised. cover: @_sonagee

began 06.27.2024 | © 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 . . . sophomore year of college holds things you never thought the universe would choose you to experience. you find yourself strolling this long and winding road without the one person who was supposed to guide you through everything, but with your chosen family-- a group of loud-mouthed friends who wouldn't dare let you lose yourself again. Though, a new-found face with a troubled past has made his way into your life, and your friend group, and the constant weight of heavy baggage on his shoulders makes him hard to get to-- all he has to do is warm up to the idea of being loved. revised/continuing through 2026. 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 modern college au set at a real school, drinking and use of drugs/drug abuse, explicit depictions of addiction, explicit sexual content including a theme of sexual ABUSE, themes and references to self-harm, death, suicide, allusions to hallucinations and schizophrenia canon/non-canon characterization. while in no way am I trying to glorify these things, a lot of the experiences that I have put into this book I have experienced myself-- and want to bring them to light. when i put warnings, please, for the love of god, take them seriously. proceed with caution as you read, because this story is not for the faint of heart.
