Winter's Time

by Drowning Ostrich

For three hundred years, no one took much notice of Jack. But now he's not the only one who is wondering WHY. As the Guardians come together around their winter child, they discover so much more to the story… and the answer may very well hold the entire world in the balance. Full plot, not one-shots. H/C, Fluff, Adventure, Family (no pairings).

4. New Life: Letter to Pitch

Chapter 2.5: Letter to Pitch

---

Dear (I guess) Pitch,

I feel really weird sending you this. At least I assume you're going to get it. It's even weirder if someone else is. If you're "someone else," would you mind doing a return to sender kind of deal?

If you're Pitch, read on.

As I was saying, better judgment (wait, how does one tell if it's better?) dictates that I shouldn't be trying to talk to you. I mean, you did try to end all funtimes and happiness, after all. And our last few conversations were supremely… unpleasant, to say the least. For me, anyway.

But, I dunno, I'd be the world's biggest hypocrite if I went with first (or second… or third) impressions.

Or ignored someone, forgot them.

So just in case of the following:

- You actually care about being believed in. Not all spirits do. Actually, most don't, in my experience,
- You don't want to be alone,
- You don't want to be forgotten,
- You're not all 100% bad and you're willing to work on that percentage,

Then:

- I won't ignore you,
- I'll do what I can to try to help you, as long as it's not dangerous and doesn't hurt anyone, especially the children,
- I think you can have another way forward, too.

Quite frankly, I don't know what I can do about anything, but I'll try to figure something out. (But I think a lot of it will have to come from you- so, I'm here if you… well, you know.)

In the meantime, enclosed is a maze, to pass the time. Help the snowballs reach their targets! Sometimes accomplishing something small can clear the mind. Have a little fun. Y'know, that in and of itself might help. Hint hint.

All I can say right now is, it's worth it. Whatever it takes. I mean, look at me, I finally really truly want to be here. Alive. Who'd have thought?

I believe in second chances. What do you believe?

Hoping (also kind of terrified, but you probably already know that, then, huh?) that you get this.

-Jack Frost

P.S. If you are not the person this is addressed to, it's really rude of you to read all the way to the end like this. No snow days for you.
