Comments: I read this fic a few days ago, and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since! I was a bit scared by the angst of the premise, but there’s actually not much to be afraid of. The writing is like a dream, with a beautiful, satisfying ending. it’s got a bit of everything: emotions, light angst, comedy, a comforting vibe. I got teary-eyes more than once, in a good way! It kind of feels like a Ghibli movie? (There’s also a non-binary background original character, who was a delightful addition.) I can’t recommend it enough!

The Mysterious Disappearance of Aidan S. by David Levithan Aidan disappeared for six days. Six agonizing days of searches and police and questions and constant vigils. Then, just as suddenly as he vanished, Aidan reappears. Where has he been? The story he tells is simply . . . impossible. But it's the story Aidan is sticking to. His brother, Lucas, wants to believe him. But Lucas is aware of what other people, including their parents, are saying: that Aidan is making it all up to disguise the fact that he ran away. Being on Aidan's side would mean believing in the impossible. But how can you believe in the impossible when everything and everybody is telling you not to?

Comments: Delivers exactly what the summary promises. I have such a soft spot for romantic letter writing and this fic doesn’t disappoint. Even the side characters have time to shine. Wangxian’s mutual pining and poor attempts to express their feelings “without saying too much” are to die for.
