New Town, Old Friend

Scratch moves for university, to the city where their only friend once lived. Prompt from Fei/Dante: I’d like a heartwarming story with a queer main character (non-binary or trans) who finds a community of people who makes them find accepted and unconditionally loved for the first time in their life. I’d like them to find their place in a polycule who shares the same living space, somewhere in a big house with garden, cozy vibes, sweet tones. The kind of laying-in-the-grass-in-the-sun or being-wrapped-in-a-blanket-with-tea-when-it-rains kind of stuff Shoutout to Fei Dante for the prompt, and Trismegistus Shandy for proofreading.
