Scholar of ancient history/Scholar in enemy land with whom they correspond
For ancient history, we have ancient alphabets. For an enemy land, I think borders and alliegiances changed so often that no one is really sure who or what was the enemy. But we have scholars and correspondence and a slowly blooming romance which no one really saw coming.

Summary
Rory is a mildly popular speedrunner and streamer whose chill, pastel image is increasingly at odds with his mess of a personal life. Cole is the thorn in his side, a curt and aloof anonymous speedrunner with a habit of beating Rory’s world records at the worst possible time. When they meet in person at a charity speedrun event, Rory discovers the truth – Cole is more of a nervous wreck than he is, and even worse, Rory might not hate him after all.
Updates Sundays, full content notes on WordPress.

Good comfort read over the course of several days while you're autistic and in your 20s and struggling to find your stride in a capitalist society. Not that that hits close to home or anything. Cough cough.
