After moving to a quiet coastal town in Oregon, Mia Brown thought she was getting a fresh start. But the people she meets Sasha, Connie, and the rest of their close-knit group make her realize this place isn't as simple as it looks. The town feels peaceful on the surface, but something about it feels off. Between new friendships, strange energy, and the start of something she didn't expect, Mia begins to see that even small towns can hold big secrets.
Set in the late 90s, this story blends small-town mystery, friendship, and slow-burn romance with a cast inspired by Attack on Titan in a modern reimagined world.

Tattletale
Jean Kirstein friends to lovers slow burn. In your senior year of high school, your best friend went missing without a trace and you were the last person to see her before she disappeared, making you the prime suspect. Two years later, you return to your hometown to start your sophomore year of college and run into a face you never thought you would see again, Eren Jaeger. Assimilating into his group of friends, you realize just how connected the world truly is. With the two-year anniversary of your friend's disappearance nearing close, you begin to question loyalties within Eren's friends. Near the anniversary of your friend's disappearance, another person goes missing and you, once again, were the last person to be seen with them. Were you just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Or are you not as innocent as you propose... A certain mullet-headed friend of yours is fully convinced of your innocence, enough to help you bring justice to your friends who have disappeared. DISCLAIMER: Y/N is an unreliable narrator and often lies to herself. The truth of a lot of things rests within other POVs that are not Y/N's. This does not mean Y/N is lying all the time, it just means that this fic will require a lot of thinking, which may not be everyone's cup of tea. This story will not be a romance-oriented fic, it is a mystery plot with a romance sub-plot. Not affiliated with Attack on Titan by Hajime Isayama.

Real Friends
A group of teens, going through struggles. Mikayla, Trenten, Justin, Sam, and Brennon. Meeting more along the way. All meeting each other around the same time, and growing up together. Sounds boring right? Just listen to the arguments these kids have, or the stupid disagreements. Mikayla and Trenten are 16, and get along better than anyone there. They know everything about eachother, and hope to stay friends forever. Justin is 17, with a temper, and one hell of a crush on Mikayla. Brennon is 16 with a messed up mind. Like really, really messed up. Sam is the oldest being 18. He is so hilarious and messed up. But pretty funny. But this whole group of friends is something special. A blessing. They might not all get along 24/7, but they find a way. (Especially with Mikayla being the mom of the group)Complete![the wrong side of the sea [jean kirstein]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/404057578-256-k35901.jpg)
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.
