Attack on Titan Fanfiction - A Decade in the Making - Intro & Chapter List

Part I of the fanfic novela War and Reminisces: The Jean Kirschtein Chronicles.

Set in a post-apocalyptic, in-universe world. Eren sacrificed his life by removing the ability of Eldians to titanize, in exchange for the world’s mercy. Before Eren died he managed to erase some of the memories of those with Eldian blood—about half the inhabitants on the planet—making the world a less hostile place for Eldians. There are no longer titans in the world, although the last of the Ackermann clan have retained their titan-in-human-form abilities. They, however, will no longer be able to pass these on to their descendants. Thanks to the efforts of Magat, who turned over a new leaf and became their great champion, Paradis is now an independent nation-state with few allies and numerous enemies. The island now struggles to modernize, defend itself from its enemies using conventional military power, and become a member of the Nations League.

In the forefront of the struggle are Jean Kirschtein, Mikasa Ackermann, Levi Ackermann, Hange Zoe, Historia Reiss and Armin Arlert.

Two years ago, I started writing the novela War and Reminisces: The Jean Kirschtein Chronicles, with Jean as the main character, detailing his adventures in a post-titan, post-Eren world, a post-canon continuation of the manga after it’s wrapped up. It assumes, of course, that Jean and the gang are alive. IRL’s so tragic so I’ve basically given these beloved characters a happy life. The scenes set within canonverse are flashbacks.

The way things are going I’ll never get around to finishing the novela, so I decided to publish the parts I’ve written so far. My small literary offering to the jeankasa/jeanmika shippers out there.

This piece is simultaneously published in Archive of Our Own.

Hope you enjoy!
