The year is 1945. The world is still at war. Nations clash across land, sea, and air-yet amid the thunder of engines and the smoke of battle, a fragile peace moves between the clouds. Formed by the newly established Treaty Council, the Treaty of Postal Air Services (TPAS) allows neutral flying boats from all nations to deliver letters, medicine, and supplies across front lines. The Sky Couriers pilots, engineers, and radio operators brave both weather and warfare to keep the world connected. Each nation flies its own courier fleet: Britannia's Sky Post - red-and-gold Sunderlands, precise and proud. The Soviet Courier Corps - great silver Berievs, singing through snowstorms. The US Coastal Express - bright Catalinas with pinup nose art and booming laughter. France's Les Colombes Bleues (Blue Doves) - elegant Amphitrites with artistic grace. Japan's Treaty Postal Authority - operating from the Yonaguni Seabase, youngest of all, flying turquoise Kawanishi H8K-3P "Sea Lilies" crewed by five spirited girls who deliver hope where peace cannot reach. Their flights cross every ocean and border, marked only by the silver wings of neutrality-a small envelope and the promise it carries. They are not soldiers. They do not take sides. Yet every letter they deliver holds a piece of the world's heart. Through storms, silence, and gunfire, these couriers remind humanity of what still matters most: connection, compassion, and the belief that words can outfly war itself. "Even when the world is divided, the mail must go through."

[Copyright © 2014] In 1943, Charlotte Truly is a nineteen-year-old American nurse serving in World War II. The oldest of four daughters, Charlotte is mostly a shy and reserved girl who keeps to herself. But when Charlotte meets William McCaden, an injured soldier on leave whom she'd briefly met when she was seventeen, she finds herself falling inexplicably in love. When Will is shipped overseas to Nazi-occupied France to fight in a deadly combat mission, Charlotte and Will have only their letters to keep each other close... but in the midst of war, how can love possibly survive? ----- DISCLAIMER: This work was written when I, Raine the author, was 14 years old (circa 2014) and is a FIRST DRAFT. Certain aspects of this story are highly problematic and should rightfully be called out. Please do bear in mind, however, that the entirety of what you see here was written (unedited) by a 14-year-old girl. Now, I as a 20-year-old writing student am fully aware of my mistakes and would like to apologize profusely for them. They are not reflective of my present character by any means and I can assure you that I FULLY condemn the slut-shaming, misogyny, white saviorism, racism, and the general oversimplification of vastly complex themes and historical contexts you might see in Yours Truly (2014). As much as I would like to chalk it all up to being a sign of the times (the very backwards 1940s), I understand now how I should have handled this particular time period with more tact and discretion. Especially with how I recklessly portrayed the horrific racial climate of the 1940s American South. Again, I am very sorry and can wholeheartedly promise you that any later drafts of Yours Truly would 100% rework all of these themes and contexts with the utmost of consideration towards the communities they affect directly. Thank you. -Raine, Feb. 11/2021
