Summary
Carl's pretty sure he isn't the kind of guy most people want to spend time with. He knows he's a little odd and a little too much, and carries around just enough emotional baggage to make everyone else uncomfortable. He's spent most of his life getting by with just himself and his platypus best friend and so far, that's worked perfectly fine for him. That is, until an unfortunate series of coincidences pulls him and Paul together, forcing Carl to realize this stranger might be different than most people. Unfortunately bad decisions on Monogram's part bring back a shady figure from Carl's past. Will he be able to find the voice to stand up for himself? Would anyone still want to be around him if he did? Will he ever be able to get the paperwork done?
This story follows Carl's journey in discovering his own self-worth and processing a difficult period of time in a 3rd person, past-tense POV. Contains a brief depiction of past sex with dubious consent, as well as mentions of stalking. It does have a happy ending, and a good bit of Carl/Paul fluff because Carl deserves more love and I intend to give it to him.
(Please don't ask why Carl/Paul. It was a joke at first but bro, I don't think it's a joke anymore.)
