  Summary

  The problem with the Connor Project is that the more Evan's version of Connor is memorialized, the more the Real Connor disappears.

  And sure, maybe the real Connor sucked, but the depressing irony of it all's been weighing a bit too heavily on Jared these days.

  So he takes a page out of Evan's book and writes Connor a letter, because even dead assholes deserve to be remembered, right? Plus he doesn't have any real friends anymore, and a dead pen pal is better than an imaginary one.

  The one thing he doesn't expect is for Connor to write back.
