[Alternate Text: A header image of an off-white sheet of paper with a fancy fountain pen resting on its surface. The pen's tip appears closer to an arrowhead with how sharp it is. There are grooves along the pen's shaft like it was carved from obsidian rock. The title is: 'My Dearest Rival' in Edwardian style cursive font that retains a certain flowing elegance. ]
'Dear [Surname],'

2025-03-12 07:43:54 +0000 UTCI can't wait for MC to be able to comfort Reese eventually about the insecurity still lurking under there. James is so sweet and my MC loves him so much, he's so familiar and solid and safe, but Reese has been there for her almost as often, and something about being seen as better than everyone else to him helped with her self esteem, both growing up and in her adulthood. It still does. James was her best friend so of course he thought the world of her -- Reese had no reason to think so except that, well, maybe she was worth the attention. At least to him, anyway. I have so many thoughts about themmmm

2025-03-11 16:38:35 +0000 UTCI wish I could just gather them up in a hug along with J and never let go, the two of them are honestly the sweetest most awkward and self depreciating beans. I'm so glad that the MC goes back Fernweh, for better or worse the two of the really need them.
