───
With your past following you like a dark cloud, a fresh start at a different university is exactly what you need.
For the first time in your life, you've taken matters into your own hands and granted yourself some much-needed change. Not only does Marley State University offer a great program, but it also gives you people who feel like the functioning family you've always longed for.
Of course, you can't get along with everyone-especially not those who don't even make an effort of getting to know you. But maybe there's more to that than just pure arrogance.
And yet, old shadows seem to follow you everywhere.
Your guilt-tainted heart, always torn and distant, will it finally be set free and find its home?

nights like this | j. kirstein
began 06.27.2024 | © 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 . . . Sophomore year of college brings things you never imagined the universe would hand you. Somehow, you find yourself walking through it without the one person who was supposed to guide you through everything, carrying more baggage than you ever thought you could bear. So you spend your days surrounded by the family you've chosen instead-a loud, chaotic group of friends who refuse to let you lose yourself again. Then someone new finds his way into your life-and into your friend group. He's guarded, burdened by a past that still clings to him, carrying the kind of weight that makes him difficult to reach. But beneath all those walls is someone who's only ever needed one thing: To believe he's worthy 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.

Stranger | Eren Jaeger
⊹₊⟡⋆ They stitched up his skin, but left the hole in his memory wide open... After transferring to a new university, you're determined to keep your past buried and your guard up. But when a familiar stranger with striking green eyes crosses your path, memories you thought were lost, or forgotten, begin to surface. College was supposed to be a clean slate. Something happened years ago. Something no one's talking about. And someone on campus knows exactly what it was. Some things don't stay buried forever. __________ Eren x Reader ~ College Au
bury the moon | eren jaeger
According to NASA, the Moon is moving away from Earth, getting about an inch farther away each year. Once, the two were much closer, and even now, the Moon circles the Earth, pulls at its oceans, and changes the length of its days as if looking down at humans and saying, "distance does little to stop one thing from mattering to another." You and Eren will come together in college and become closer than the Moon and Earth ever were, and one night you'll look up at the stars and wish to never become anything like them, wish that even if something pulls you apart, the distance between you will still be crossed again.
stages & studios | j. kirstein
In search of stillness, you leave Marley behind. Bruised feet, frayed dreams, and all. You land at Paradis University with a ballet scholarship and baggage you never unpacked. There, among paint-stained hands and late-night smoke breaks, you find yourself entangled in the lives of a tightly knit group of students, each carrying their own cracks. At the center of it all is Jean Kirstein: sharp-tongued, cigarette-breathed, and hiding more than he lets on. You're discipline. He's chaos. But the line between stage and studio starts to blur, and what begins as friction might just become a kind of art in itself.
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.
submerged | eren jaeger
Starting over, you've discovered, is mostly a matter of place; put enough miles between yourself and everything that came before, find a roommate you like, make friends with people who know nothing about you, and eventually the person you used to be begins to feel like some distant cousin. Shiganshina is good for that. Eren Jaeger is not. He's your roommate's friend, then yours, then something considerably more inconvenient. He's infuriating in ways that become intimate, intimate in ways that become problematic, and somewhere along the line, disliking him becomes difficult to separate from want. The trouble with becoming close to someone is that you never notice it happening. There's no moment when the water reaches your throat. No warning that you've wandered too far from shore. By then, you're already submerged.Complete
apt. 215 { Jean Kirstein X Reader }
{ 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!
