Penpal Stories

When you join a pen pal group, you think you will write to the person a few times and be done. However, I have been writing River since I left my hometown for a bigger city and a better life. My life turned out to be anything but good. Granted, I do have some things I would not change, and then some I would LOVE to change. The first thing I would change is a ex dead set on wanting me dead.

Jhaniah Villanueva is a shy, bookish teen who spends most of her time tucked away in her room, doodling in notebooks and reading romance novels. Her new neighbor, Kai Mercer, is the complete opposite-loud, outgoing, and a bit of a troublemaker, always surrounded by friends. One day, Jhaniah accidentally drops a notebook filled with personal letters she's written to her "future love" (but never plans to send). Kai finds it and, instead of teasing her, decides to secretly reply to the letters. Jhaniah is puzzled when she starts receiving anonymous notes slipped under her door-sweet, funny, and thoughtful messages that make her heart flutter. Over weeks, a pen-pal romance blossoms between them, all while they act like strangers in real life. Through misunderstandings, accidental meet-ups, and small, heartwarming gestures, they slowly start noticing each other's real selves. Eventually, Jhaniah musters the courage to discover who's been leaving the letters-and realizes that love might have been next door all along.

It was true: rich boys who attend elite private schools were evil. Or at least Damian was. Amora Rodriguez, born in Shirtagon, Michigan-or Dirt Broke, Michigan, as she liked to call it-had one dream: to escape and create a better life for herself. An A+ student, she did everything right... or at least tried to. When a scholarship opportunity lands at her feet-requiring a pen pal letter exchange with students from the prestigious Rutherford High School-she jumps at the chance. But there's a catch: to earn the scholarship, she must secure a recommendation from her pen pal. Easy? Not even close. What Amora expected to be a polite, cordial exchange quickly turns into anything but. Damian's letters are beyond hostile, each one more tormenting than the last. But if she's learned anything from her mother, it's that sometimes, to earn respect, you have to fight for it-tooth and nail. As the line between hatred and something else begins to blur, Amora must decide how far she's willing to go. Damian is domineering, everything she swore she'd avoid in a guy... yet he's also impossible to ignore.

Some words are easier to write than they are to say. When two strangers begin exchanging anonymous letters, they never expected to become each other's safest place. Hidden behind ink and paper, they share fears, secrets and pieces of themselves they've never trusted anyone with before. Charlotte's stuck in a relationship that makes her feel invisible. Dominic's searching for someone who will really see him instead of his money. Between the lines of every letter, something deeper begins to grow. But when feelings become real, so do risks. And some truths can't stay hidden forever. - Between the lines is a tender, slow-burn romance about falling in love one letter at a time.

When two lonely hearts reached out across the world, Alex and Eden became exactly what the other needed. Strangers turned penpals, they built a secret haven through online letters, one place where nothing was off limits. Eden found comfort. Alex found peace. And without ever meeting, they became each other's safest home. But Alex's life was carved in stone long before Eden arrived. Raised in a world where softness was seen as weakness and vulnerability was dangerous, he wasn't allowed to feel, let alone even care. The closer Eden got to his heart, the more she became the one thing he couldn't afford, a weakness. Then silence... A sudden break, four years without a single word. Time didn't pause for either of them, but their worlds had shifted and their scars deepened. And Eden's trauma, born from a haunting incident stole away pieces of her memory, including most of the life she had shared with her mysterious penpal. The warmth, the trust, the connection was gone. Until fate threw them into the same room. Alex recognized the spark instantly. The familiarity, the pull, the sense that he'd finally found something he'd lost. Eden felt it too, but she couldn't explain why. All she knew was that this stranger made her feel safe. But destiny wasn't feeling generous. Eden wasn't just thriving in a new career, she was an architect at the firm owned by Alex's greatest childhood rival. And worse, she was dating him. Now Alex stands torn between the ruthless path he was born into and the one person who once taught him how to feel. Eden, caught between a forgotten past and a complicated present, must decide if the echo in her heart is worth listening to. Their worlds collided once before. This time, they could burn..

[Volume IV Beginning of January 2026 - In progress] Welcome to Volume IV, it is not necessary to read any previous volumes or letters since each letter is a stand alone work. Feel free to start reading from the latest day, or pick your favorite Princess from the chapter names and start there. This is not written linearly. Thank you! No one wants to feel lonely. And the best cure is to have a friend talk to you and care about you. Sadly sometimes people don't have any friends to talk to, so I am writing these letters to anyone that wants to read them. This way you at least have a friend thinking about you and talking to you. Sometimes we take for granted our ability to lead a normal life. However for some, like the young royals of the world, they don't have the luxury of leading a normal life. Perhaps it's difficult for them to make friends? Perhaps they don't have anyone to talk to? Who knows? We are a family, and family takes care of each other. So these letters are addressed to them and are there if they need them. But everyone is free to read them in case you need them. They are as much for you as they are for them. Thanks everyone, enjoy! Saint Anthony Guide

[Volume III Early September 2025 - End of December 2025] No one wants to feel lonely. It's always nice to know there's people thinking about you. People that care about you and want what's best for you. Princesses are no different, they are human like us. They share all the same emotions and struggles that we do but by the nature of their birth their lives are perpetually broadcast internationally. Who amongst us want that intrusion of our privacy? Who amongst us wants our every insecurity and struggle broadcast to the world? No one. But for them it is their reality. Though they may not share publically what they are feeling, we know our emotional struggles to be the same. These are letters written to the Princesses of the world, so that they might not feel loneliness, isolation, or worst of all despair. That they may know that theres at least one friend out there that is thinking about them and wants what's best for them. Even if they never read this at all. Everyone can read these letters as well, perhaps it will cure your loneliness as well. You the best 😎, everyone take care. Saint Anthony Guide.

School assignments can be fun. You get to try out things you never would have thought of yourself or didn't get an opportunity to try out yet. But writing to someone you don't know? In another country, nonetheless. In a language that's not your mother tongue. And on top of it it's a letter, not just an email or text. Why do teachers always think about something so odd? You could reach anyone with that letter. Most would just write something to not get a bad grade. But maybe, just maybe, friendships can form even over the great distance from Germany to the USA. (Heavily inspired by The Alpha's Pen Pal on Alphanovel by Allie Carsten. I've read some of it, loved it, wanted to make something similar.) (No alpha talk here, will keep it PG. More like slice of life)
