Summary
She blinks, taking the paper from him. “Great,” Ava tells him. “So, what, this is all one page? It’s fifteen, then.”
“No. I don’t-,” Bucky scratches the side of his chin nervously. “I don’t cheat.”
Ava scoffs. “Sure.” She indulges in the guy and reads the first words scrawled in Bucky’s handwriting at the top.
“It’s for a girl,” Bucky starts, but Ava hears none of what follows, already glancing over the first line on the paper.
Dear Yelena Belova–
Something in her gut flares up. “I can’t help you,” Ava says, shoving the letter back into Bucky’s hands. “I don’t do stuff like this.”
or
Ava gets roped by Bucky into writing love letters for Yelena Belova. Turns out, she's way better at it than she expected. (And ends up falling in love with Yelena in the process.)

Summary
In the quiet town of Jericho, a sharp and solitary girl finds herself entangled in a web of secrets, letters, and unspoken feelings. Struggling to support her family and remain unseen, she begins writing on behalf of someone else—never expecting the words to reach the person she secretly longs for. As emotions deepen and identities blur, friendships are tested, beliefs are challenged, and the meaning of love takes center stage. A slow-burn romance unfolds in a world where the written word speaks louder than the truth.

Summary
“You flirt with Caitlyn for me, through me. You write her letters, leave her notes, tell me what to say-”
“No!”
“-and eventually she falls for me, we get married, we have two okay kids, one is kind of ugly but it's fine because he’s a visionary, he continues my life work-”
“I’ve never wanted to punch you more in my life, and I have punched you multiple times."
-
A fake, but also not, dating au fuelled entirely by delusion. Vi wants peace. Jayce wants a relationship. Caitlyn is confused. Viktor is confused. Jinx wants everyone dead. So not entirely an au at all.

Summary
Jhoanna is the quiet overachiever in her small town, content to keep her head down and focus on helping her father run their family business. Life is predictable until Nico, the school’s lovable but clueless jock, approaches her with an unusual request: he wants her to help him write love letters to Aiah, the most captivating and unattainable girl in school.
Though hesitant, Jhoanna agrees—partly because Nico offers to pay, and she desperately needs the money. But as she crafts eloquent letters and texts on Nico’s behalf, Jhoanna finds herself falling more for Aiah’s intellect and unexpected kindness. Each conversation with Aiah—whether through messages or chance encounters, only deepens Jhoanna’s conflicted feelings.
Meanwhile, Aiah begins to question the authenticity of Nico’s sudden poetic soul. Why does she feel a stronger connection in their written exchanges than in person? And why does Jhoanna seem to understand her in a way no one else ever has?
As the web of lies tightens, Jhoanna must grapple with the growing weight of her secret. Does she reveal the truth and risk losing Aiah forever, or stay silent and watch someone else win the heart she longs for?

Summary
Vi couldn't believe what was being asked of her, and yet here she was: in desperate need of money and about to help out some random kid try and get his crush to notice him. She took a deep breath.
"Fifty bucks right now, take it or leave it."
"Deal!" He jumped up in the air, a little too excited, and extended his hand once he was back on Earth.
Vi shook it slowly.
"The name's Ekko, by the way." He beamed and fished out two twenties and a five from his pockets, and extended it out for her to take.
Vi took it apprehensively after the sudden burst of energy. With the money in hand, Vi made a quick attempt at conversation, before heading back to the bank. "And, uh… Who's the lucky lady?"
"Caitlyn," he said dreamily. "Caitlyn Kiramman."
* * *
Strapped for cash, Vi takes Ekko up on a deal to write Caitlyn Kiramman, the Queen Bee of Zaun High School, love letters. What Vi doesn't expect is for Caitlyn to actually write back.

Summary
“Emmeline felt rooted to the spot. No amount of will could force her to move, her lips to talk, and part of her didn’t want to anyway. It was almost surreal, having Mary Macdonald so close to her, their noses only inches from one another.”
finally an emmary/maryline fic! i’m so excited to share this niche little story with you all! it’s inspired by one of my favourite movies “the half of it”, which i definitely recommend watching if you’ve got the time. mostly the beginning will be similar to the movie, the further we go the more it’ll diverge from the original storyline.

Summary
In all his seventeen years, Remus Lupin had never had a love story of his own. At least not one where anyone got what they wanted.
He sighed, turning back around.
“One letter. Twenty-five pounds. After that, you’re on your own,” Remus told her flatly. He knew it was wrong to mess around with someone's heart like that, but there were bills to pay.
“Yes!” The girl pumped her fist excitedly. Remus tried not to be endeared by it. “You’re a pretty alright person, you know.”
“Don’t thank me just yet,” Remus warned. “I’m not guaranteeing you a date with the bloody hotshot or anything. Just a letter.”
She beamed even wider. “Just a letter,” she repeated. “Totally.”

Summary
Dear Choi Beomgyu,
Have you noticed how a broken heart is usually drawn as a heart being torn into two? Or shattered into two? It’s usually always two. But even when it’s not broken, even when you’re just drawing a love being shared, it’s half of a heart you’ll be giving.
Always just the exact half of it.
///
Huening Kai has always been good with words, Choi Soobin says he's never good with them, and Choi Beomgyu reads all of them.

Summary
Enid tuts. “Okay, how do I even work this thing?” She’s already frustrated by the complicated keys.
Wednesday stares at her. “You don’t know how to work a typewriter?”
“No, because I’m not 300 years old.” Wednesday glares at her and Enid has the heart to cower.
After an excruciatingly slow typewriter lesson, Enid finally gets the hang of it. With a grin, she exclaims, “Now I understand why you like it so much! It’s so satisfying. Have you ever thought of opening an ASMR channel?”
Or,
Enid asks Wednesday to help her write love letters to Ajax because he's oblivious and dumb. Only, Enid doesn't expect to fall for Wednesday instead, and it doesn't help that the girl is ten times dumber.

Summary
Walter mumbled something again, but this time, Stella couldn’t rely on any cues. "What did you say?"
"I said that I, um," he broke off to take a deep breath, before turning his dark eyes at Stella and continuing, "can you help me out with a love letter?"
That startled a low laugh out of Stella, because what the fuck? "A love letter."
Alternatively, Stella goes through the five stages of grief after she accepts to help Walter (of all people) with writing a love letter. To Fredrika.
Or: I write a The Half Of It-esque story for Stella and Fredrika with tons of sapphic yearning, Mitski feels, dumb gays with unresolved emotions, and your classic Hillerska-grade drama

Summary
“You will write this for me.” Joonghyuk declared, since trivial things such as questions and manners were far below his grace. He dropped the wrinkled page into Dokja’s lap.
“Dear Seolhwa Lee, You are a pretty girl. I have been thinking…”
Dokja pulled his eyes away from the paper immediately. It was a line that shouldn’t be crossed.
“No,” Dokja replied. He shoved the paper back into Yoonghyuk's hands. “I am not writing love letters--”
“I’ll pay you.” Joonghyuk interrupted.
"Get a thesaurus. Use spell-check. Good luck, Romeo.” -

Summary
“What does platonic mean?” Tommy H asks, looking up from the paper Robin had spent an hour perfecting her messiest handwriting for.
“…At least a B- or you get half your money back,” Robin replies, thumbs hooked through the straps of her backpack. “Four pages, that’s ten bucks.”
“Jesus Christ, Buckley, that can’t be legal,” Tommy says, digging around his bag for cash anyway.
“This isn’t legal,” Robin deadpans, holding out a hand to take the slightly crumpled five dollar bills he offers her.
“Right.”
“Thank you for your business.” She waits for him to turn and leave the empty classroom they’d met in. Then, “Stupid fucking asshole.”
OR: Steve recruits Robin to write letters to Nancy Wheeler for him. She only kind of regrets it.
