Matty receives letters all the time. A physical manifestation of teenage angst and trauma. Emotional baggage in the most literal form. They're all similar, not the same, but the praise and the devotion and the infatuation are always there. Until one day, a large manila envelope finds its way into the pile of tiny white letters, looking clinical and formal in nature... Matty is immediately drawn to it, and to the author, who gives no identifying information other than a single letter -- L.
** I based this fic off one I read several years ago on AO3 that I can no longer find. The content is different and I don't think that fic was ever finished, but I loved the plot idea and wanted to do something similar. If anyone knows what I'm talking about let me know so I can give credit to the author.
** just fyi -- this storyline has absolutely no basis in reality and TW for drug use, mentions of suicide, addiction, and abuse.
