E.E. Ottoman excels in writing cozy, slice-of-life, cottagecore queer romances that make me want to move to upstate New York. This is a tight page count - and a freebie on his website - and ultimately a really quiet and tender love story between finally-united pen pals. I particularly love how Ottoman writes intimacy scenes, ensuring his story is always affirming of his trans characters. Reviewers consistently point out that this didn't have a proofreader, which I don't mind for a short story like this (a FREE short story, folks!). I recommend this nice little bonus Christmas story for Ottoman fans!
