Lab Rats!
★・・・ All you wanted was to breeze peacefully through grad school and earn your Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine. Well, that and to win over Mikasa Ackerman's heart. How hard could it be? But nothing is ever that simple. Your best friend, Armin Arlert, is unraveling under the pressure of competing with his academic rival, Eren Jaeger, and Eren's just found Armin's greatest weakness: you. What starts as a petty game between the two soon turns into something much messier, where morals clash with desire, friendship blurs into something more, and every choice feels like the wrong one. Remember, feelings don't follow rules and neither does Eren. With Mikasa's intense allure, Eren's reckless charm, and Armin's aching devotion, your heart becomes the playing field. The harder you try to pull away, the deeper you become ensnared in the ties binding you all together. Someone's heart will break, and it might just be yours. ・・・★ ༶•┈┈୨♡୧┈┈•༶ Art Creds: Novalise1 on twt

about you | jean kirstein x reader
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?"

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.

Chasing Kirstein | College AU
College is hard. Living two doors down from Jean Kirstein? Even harder. New to Stohess University, you're just trying to survive dorm life, avoid emotional attachment, and maybe pass psych class. But when your path collides with the university's most irritatingly attractive frat boy, you find yourself dragged into a world of stolen hoodies, late-night arguments, and group chats from hell. He's loud, cocky, and so not your type. So why does he keep ending up in your bed? Psych class with Reiner, being besties with Sasha and Connie and having Hitch and Annie as your roomies is NOT for the weak, not to mention Jean Kirstein in the mix of it all. A chaotic, messy, and (unfortunately) romantic Jean x Reader college AU featuring Eren's emotional breakdowns, love triangles, Hitch's savage commentary, and the most toxic group chat on campus. This is an ongoing piece and I will update it regularly. I feel like there is a gap in the market for genuinely decent Jean fanfics so I wrote this, just for fun.

[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

When the Lights Come On
College au: Jean x reader | Eren x reader Transferring to Trost State was meant to be a fresh start: new uni, new friends, and most importantly - no fuck-ups. Except that last one was proving to be a lot more difficult than you thought. Between wild parties, a dysfunctional friend group, and one reckless night, you find yourself thrown head first into the chaos of college life - of course including all the love, pain, loyalty, (and shit ton of partying) that comes with it. Oh, and there's also getting caught between Eren and Jean, two people who might just be the best and worst decisions you ever made. If navigating college wasn't complicated enough already, then adding in a messy love triangle you never saw coming might be.

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

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.

This isn't just a study in intimacy. It's what happens when two people, frayed at the edges, start to unravel beside each other. 03.05.2025 -
