Warnings: Prior/off-screen death of a major canonical character.
Author’s Notes: While this story was completed prior to Cory Monteith’s recent passing, the similarities between his death and the character death in this story may be upsetting. I strongly considered withdrawing this story from the bang for this reason. Please read with caution.
Spoilers: None
Summary: When cleaning out his brother's apartment, Kurt comes across a letter from an anonymous pen pal on the other side of the country. Passing himself off as Recipient #5893, Kurt forges a friendship with the wounded soldier, Recipient #14507. Is the relationship they build on support, advice, and mutual loneliness enough to overcome Kurt’s initial deceit?
