Oliver Finley has never had it easy. From the abandonment of his mother to the death of his father, life’s certainly put him through a bountiful amount of challenges. He’s used to moving around from family to family, always for one reason or another. Perhaps it’ll be his cat Anubis, or his desire for privacy and solitude. Maybe even since he’s gay. On a train headed to his newest city-bound home, Oliver runs into the friendly and oh-so charming Aster, completely ruining his plans of avoiding future attachments. Living who knows how far apart and with a desperate pining for one another, the two must learn to overcome the distance for the the sake of love. Pick up your pens, write out your feelings, and ship those words out through the mail, all while desperately trying to stay afloat in the choppy waters of a budding relationship. ..What could possibly go wrong? ----- hello and welcome dear visitor. I’ve been planning and working on this story for quite the long time now, and I’m finally at the point where I can begin to post it online. please notice that due to the length of these chapters and the desire for certain text effects, the entirety of love letters has been added into a forum post found here: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/832582/?page=1#post-8653511 if you have any questions/comments/vicious accusations regarding the story, please redirect them to this project! I’m trying to keep the thread exclusively with the chapters. if you want to be notified when a new chapter releases, just follow the forum thread. I absolutely refuse to do manual pings haha. as always, my readers, enjoy.
