Awww this is great, I love how courteous and formal but how open and kind they are. I love that it's a bunch of people with crappy childhoods who are determined to show empathy to a kid who's treated so horribly.

Oh this was so wonderful and so in character, the subtle differences between the letters and everything... So amazing, and touching!
And now I'm left with the craving to know what kind of day they spend in Oxford! :)

I absolutely LOVE this. I was just scrolling through to see what new stories there were for me to read later and saw this one and was like I HAVE TO READ THAT ONE IMMEDIATELY. It was so sweet! I think you really captured how formal but how happy Charles and Harry would be to write to each other at that age. Erik turning up on the motorbike made me laugh as well at the end - I'd really love to see what happened next, whether they went on their day out and whether they kept up the correspondence! In short, really lovely, well done :)

Oh, and if they DID go to Oxford and Charles didn't take Harry to a) Ben's Cookies and b) G&Ds, he's a terrible friend!

*o* is it wrong of me to ask for more, because I am. Charles and Harry are the bestest of buddies and we must know more of their adventures with Erik and Raven <3

I love how it's written in letter format, I adore that they so much and give so little but our imaginations let us go with it!

Fantastic work <3

This gives me all the emotion \o/

Aw, this is wonderful! I love wee!Harry, who doesn't really realise just how bad he has it, and Charles and Raven catching on and telling him everything will be alright *hugs*. The letter-format works really well, too, and everybody's so IC - especially Charles, who is brilliant :D. I love this - thank you!
