Penpal Stories

Rachel Ann Walker is broken. After her mother died in a tragic car crash on her 7th birthday, nothing was the same. Her father becomes a monster and she becomes numb- an empty shell. But when her English teacher assigns them pen pals from Afghanistan, will she learn how to love again? Or will her already broken heart become crushed at the hands of another?

For Blake Ashby, college was supposed to be her saving grace. A place to start over from her tainted past in Upstate New York and begin her lifelong dream of studying Psychology. For all her life Blake has only ever had herself to depend on and as of recent months, her new online pen pal Ace, whom she met in a Northeastern University chat room over the summer. He's the only guy who's ever seemed to understand Blake on a deeper level, yet she's too apprehensive to even tell him her real name. But when she arrives in Boston ready for what should be the first day of her new life, she's met with Jaxon Reid, the tall, equal parts charming and obnoxious boy who's claiming to be her new roommate. When a mistake in an online roommate match leaves Blake and Jax at a standstill, they agree that tolerating each other is the only other option. As always, Blake's life continues to get more and more complicated. But as Blake begins to feel more than a subtle hatred for her snarky roommate, she starts to learn what a thin line there really is between love and hate. Blake starts to feel torn as she comes to realize that she's not so sure where her heart is at anymore; is it with the sweet boy in her messenger app, or the mysterious one down the hall? But what if the choice is even simpler than it is complicated? What if Jax and Ace have been the same person all along?

[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

I raced down the steps on my front porch, my feet slipping and sliding in my haste. I was just so excited at the possibility that I received a reply. That is, until a month ago. °°° It's almost been a week since Heath disappeared. °°° "Sometimes, I want to forget you. Yours, Priscilla" °°° Completed Hey guys, I wrote this when I was younger and didn't do any research to make the story plausible. I am going to leave the story up, but I am rewriting it to be not illegal and make sense. When I get it all done, I'll replace all chapters at once :) 12/15/22

Read any old children's fairy tale, they all end the same; the princess marries the prince and they live happily ever after. The thief is forgotten, as he should be. He's nothing more than a plot twist, a forgettable bad guy complicating an otherwise perfect love story. ...Right? So what happens when the thief realises he's still what the princess needs, he just isn't who she thinks he is? What happens when you forget what you learned in the fairy tales and decide to trust your heart with what it truly wants, rather than what it thinks it's supposed to want?

Maya's been in her own personal jail, inside her head, for almost five years now. Ever since he left her. He's back now, but he's not the same person she once knew; he's reckless, dangerous, lawless, despicable. She could never feel for him now, how she did when they were kids. But when someone close to both Maya and Axel goes missing, she's forced to put her feelings - old and new - to one side and come together with her old flame, for the greater good. That is, you know, if he's even capable of anything good.

I walked down the sidewalk looking at each numbered house, looking for 473 W Ashbury Lane. 467, 469, 471, 473. There it was. The house was small and faded blue, with a red door. This was Augustus Mae Edensen's house. After all these years, I got to finally meet her. I went to go up the old wooden steps, but my feet were frozen in place. What if I wasn't who she expected me to be? What if she doesn't want me? All these what ifs were flowing through my mind, but I shook them away with a deep breath. Breathe in, breathe out. Just as my therapist taught me. My August adored me and told me jokes to make me laugh, my August wrote me a letter as soon as I sent one to her. With my mental reassurance, I walked up the old creaking wooden steps and knocked on the door. I could hear the pitter of her footsteps coming to the door, unlocking it. But it wasn't my Augustus Mae.

The Haiku collaborations (Haiku Jams) that I am currently working on and few of my original Haiku.

It all started with a website. You fill out a form and get matched with someone with similar interests. Instead of texting or calling, you write letters to one another as pen pals. The recommended way to do the challenge was to keep your name and identity a secret until the end. Clay was more than willing to do so. Summer was coming to a close and his life seemed so dull. The breaking of routine was very appealing to him. He never expected that when he hit submit, his life would change for the better. --- TLDR: George and Dream are pen pals. --- If any CC is uncomfortable, then this will be taken down and edited so that it fits any CCs boundaries. LMK if boundaries have changed. ORIGINALLY POSTED ON AO3
