Summary
Jean knows working security at the boardwalk is a lively job, but this summer it's a little different. Or a lot different. It depends on whether he can get his head out of his ass.

Summary
When Jean Kirstein is cast as one of the Fakes on Eldia's top reality show, he knows he has this in the bag. With a prize package of one million dollars, he'll do whatever it takes to win. He just hopes the other Fake shares that determination.
But there's a twist. This season, Jean and the other Fake must pose as a couple alongside nine real couples who are also competing for the prize money. If they make it to the end without getting eliminated, they take the money for themselves. So it's up to Jean and his partner to get the others to turn on each other before ever turning on them.
And just who gets cast as the person Jean has to fake being in a relationship with? None other than his longtime rival, Eren Jaeger.

Followed this story through the majority of it's writing process, and every chapter left me eager for the next. Every time I would theorise "what's next?", because there was always something crazier happening. The anticipation and excitement I felt every time was pure enjoyment, I hold this story close to my Erejean heart. Amazing read.
I would love to read side stories with more of these two, mostly of firefighter!Jean and hairstylist!Eren, I'm so obsessed with their characterisation in this. The entire story concept had me hooked from the synopsis, I had no idea what to expect from a reality tv au, but I was not left disappointed at all. I enjoyed every aspect of the drama, the enemies to lovers, and the yearning of course. Jean will always be a momma's boy, I was really invested in his story and his past. His hostility towards Eren at the beginning was intense, but understandable. I will definitely have to re-read from the beginning at some point to get the full effect of the flow of their relationship. I will be back to edit this summary after I do that :)

FIRE. Seriously. I'm late to the party, by like 10 years... But this is a masterpiece, seriously. Marco's characterisation is so impressionable. I enjoyed every minute. I would've loved to read a lot more jeanmarco in this, them together and being cute, but the longing and glances work well. Speaking of characterisation, everyone else met the mark to 100. Obsessed with this college AU. reibertani is a fun ship. We don't discover what becomes of Armin and Eren in explicit detail but they figure it out in a way. Ymir is just as I always imagine her. Sasha and Connie are exactly what I picture. THE VIBES. Everyone is interesting as fuck, my headcanon's were met ;) I'm not sure what part of america this is set in exactly, as a non-American. But I can guess the South, Jean was fun to read. Spanish spot on, was such a laugh. I could easily read more of this, I need more Jean!! This is my first ever fic that's marco-centric. in his POV completely, I loved it!!!
I've been looking for a football fic for so long, and this was just the CAKE! Thank you for the ride.

Summary
When Jean discovers that men seem to like him more than women, he enters a life of convenient hookups. When Jean meets Marco, he struggles to face the reality that men are a real romantic possibility for him rather than a mere safety net for when he's lonely.
How does a 19-year-old Jean Kirschtein with internalized homophobia learn to openly love another man?

Amaaazingg!! I don't typically read smut heavy or multiship fanfics, usually strictly Jeanmarco, but this was great. Really entertaining. Written with enchanting lovey-dovey romance through small touches and yearning between Jean and Marco, eventually. To the point it's a bit much LOL but no, their obsession was sweet, they're soulmates after all, so.
I mostly enjoyed the first few chapters when Jean is newly discovering himself, the tension between himself and Reiner was hot, I've never read any form of reijean but that was entertaining. At the very end of chapter 7, Reiner drunkenly confesses his love to Jean after being strictly fwb, it's so angsty and heavy to really think about that outcome for anybody in a fwb (ah the unrequited love trope is a guilty pleasure, yet gut wrenching), I do wish it'd been more dramatized than it was. But it was a relief that Reiner truly did love Bertholdt.
I liked that Jean had a lot of feelings, his abandonment and commitment issues holding him back, the daddy issues; when Marco left before Jean woke up at the end of chapter 10 into the beginning of chapter 11, I felt the panic as I read. Sure Jean messed up when he said what he said, but it weirdly wasn't acknowledged how wrong it was for Marco to up and leave instead of waiting and talking it out, after knowing how Jean could take that... I don't know, but I loved the angst, I'm glad the scene was written.
I loved this, I saw way too much of myself in Jean's character lol; the emptiness of feeling wanted for nothing but sex, yet also feeling unwanted when someone doesn't want sex, despite yearning for someone to want to get to know me and make me wait until it's right. In the end, I want to be seen and loved and understood, it all feels like too much to ask for, and something a partner would never understand about me.
The characterisation and recurring feature of everyone else (the side characters) was really fun to read. I did get a little over it when Jean and Marco were finally together in chapter 11 because they got a tad over bearing, but I was officially done when the polyamory and foursome talk came in, I was like, eh okay... Just not my own perception of love, I lost the ability to relate at that point, but my personal opinion and preference doesn't take away from the greatness of this fic. The camping scene when Jean and Reiner went to kiss wasn't like okay, it was a bit yucky and pretty unnecessary, and I wish I could separate that part from the rest of the story, but alas it was all still awesome. I will be back to reread eventually!!

Summary
Levi hates Companions – people who sell romance and a night of pleasure to anyone rich enough to pay. These Companions are more than prostitutes; they’re actors, allowing their clients to live out the romantic encounters of their dreams. And Levi finds the very idea of them disgusting.
But Hanji gets him an appointment, anyway. And, somehow, Levi is persuaded to go. And the Companion he finds is very different from what he expected.
Levi knows that it’s all fake. But, in spite of himself, he can’t stay away from Erwin Smith.

Oh my God. Incredible. My favourite writing on here and it has A LOT of competition in my bookmarks against other fics, but it wins so easily. The characterisation? On Fucking Point!!!! Levi's attitude, A*. I'm speechless with Erwin, A*, he was written so him and how I imagined he'd be. I enjoyed the entire thing; maybe just not Erwin losing an arm, but who enjoys limb loss? Lol. I felt so giddy, the fic had me kicking my feet and giggling, I had such expressive reactions to almost every chapter. The pace, I just can't stop praising the pacing, the events that occur, the reactions to these events, I wasn't left unsatisfied by any scene I read, which is so insane for someone like me: disgustingly picky and hard to please. I need more, even though the ending is perfect, God I could just keep reading forever... I envy the talent to write like this, so beautiful.
Here are some songs I felt fit well with the fic (a lot of Taylor Swift lmao):
