Summary
Draco’s voice shook. “You don’t know what it’s like to have you. No one knows what it’s like to lose you.” A sob fled from him. “Please don’t make me be the first.”
Harry’s face crumpled, looking away, and Draco knew then it was over.
“It’s my past, it must be. I asked before and you said –”
“I have forgiven you –”
“I am a person!” Then quieter, “A person; not just something to be forgiven.”~
With his family’s name and misdeeds laying heavily upon him, Draco Malfoy returns to Hogwarts for a torturous eighth year. He finds himself unrequitedly in love with Harry Potter and at odds with everyone around him, even the bricks. While navigating the post-war world, he is forced to decide both who he is and what he wants.

The first Harry Potter fandom fic I've finished! So beautifully written, the angst filled my soul and set it's own standard. Everything played out perfectly, and I was so fulfilled reading this. Every character dynamic was thrilling. I would love to have read more of this au, so wishing it was a series! Stunning work.
I've been dying to read something in Draco POV; this fic had every prompt I was looking for and more, just perfect. All my character headcanons were met, personal and fanon. (Healer!Draco is my favourite outcome for him. 8th year is so much fun to read about.)
I realised as harsh as Harry indeed was in the beginning - Draco needed to self reflect and make changes for the possibility of the public relationship he craved for to be easy and real. He wanted Harry to be proud of him but it took work on both sides for them to get there, it took working through shame which is not easy, nor is being brave. As I read through his changing I decided that it took two to dance for their relationship to ever be.
Obsessed with the characterisation of Blaise and Pansy, they really stole the show for me. Their friendship with Draco was nurturing and real. This fic explored other relationships than just Harry's with Draco, it was so immersive, I rarely get to have this much fun reading about side characters in fanfictions from any fandom. I had rooted for Theo x Draco in the beginning, but as soon as they got together it hadn't felt right, and I wasn't keen on them being endgame. Luckily Harry pulled through in perfect patience, it's only a shame that it wasn't written exactly how they got back together and is left unexplained. With how things ended between them it seemed like a big show of proof on Harry's side was necessary for Draco to be met halfway, I didn't expect it to be left so amiguous in the end after 100k words.
So, I felt towards the end it was all wrapped up a bit too swiftly. Draco's friendships with his Slytherin friends were ended a bit distant, the dissonance too long drawn out between Draco and Pansy, it was obvious they'd made ammends but it didn't quite feel the same as it was. We know what happens to almost everybody in the end, but I would've liked to know more about Alfie in the epilogue and more.

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.

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!!
