Hey there! So, I've had this RP idea in my head for quite some time now, and I've hesitated in putting it out there just because I feel like I'm constantly adding 'could be' plot twists, etc. I'm really looking forward to it, though, and I'd like it to really end up as an extended 'slice of life' type thing. Yes, I'm expecting this to be a pretty long, well drawn out RP, so I'm really hoping to find the right person here. I think it could be awesome if we put our heads together and take different twists and turns with it. I'll write out the basic plot here, and possible twist ideas, but I'd like us to develop it together, rather than me dictating the whole plot. Anyway, here we go:
He enlisted at 18, foregoing the college life when his country was at war. It was something noble to do, and he figured his father would have killed him if he didn't follow in the man's military footsteps. So, at age 21 he was already a decorated 'veteran' of sorts, having been over seas twice in heavy combat. But he loved every second of what he did. He was good at it, he had made the best friends of his life, and not a day went by where he didn't look forward to the next day.
She was 17, 6 months away from graduating high school. An honor student, popular, with several college acceptance letters sitting on her desk in her bedroom. And with high school so close to coming to a close, assignments were becoming, well...a little 'lacking'. The project for her English course? Write a hand-written letter to a soldier overseas for Christmas..even though it was only September. Maybe the English teacher just had a soft spot, since her son had been in the service.
Little did she know that simple letter would change her life, and his....

Basically, I'd like the whole story to start out with letters being exchanged for awhile. Little paragraphs of their lives will be background 'noise' as the focus of each post will be the letters, where they open up more to each other, and get closer. Maybe a little too close at times. While he's got an opportunity to take a leave, he comes to visit her three weeks before her high school graduation, where that too close nature becomes a reality. They can't deny a relationship at that point, but with her only being seventeen, they sort of have to hide it for the time being.
The continuation of the story can go a lot of ways...here are just some ideas:
- How they deal with him being deployed again
- PTSD
- How her going to college affects their relationship
- Long distance relationship
- Temptation for both of them
Like I said, I'd really like to develop this with the right person...if this sounds like something you think you'd enjoy, feel free to shoot me a PM! Thanks!
