“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees... I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” — F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Roman and Archer used to be some of your very best friends. You met them when you were young, at summer camp. Despite the two of them already being a unit together, you fit right in - seeing them every summer was like a routine, one both of them looked forward to.

During the year, they'd write letters - they were your penpals, always eager to hear about your life, your accomplishments, everything. Even if they were a little vague.

Stephanie, your stepsister, didn't like them - or at least, she didn't like you writing them. Then, one year, after your last year in summer camp with them, the letters... stopped coming. They faded away, a relic of your teen years.

Until they didn't. Archer found you on social media, insisting you come out to visit him and Roman for the summer. Just like old times, he promised. (Stephanie insisted to come along with you - what if they're, like, total weirdos now?). What you didn't know was the secret they hid - that they weren't just normal kids. They came from the kind of money that could buy anything and everything - and you didn't know until you pulled up. Not just to some house in Montauk. To their mansions in the Hamptons.

They're just hoping it doesn't change anything. Because they missed you. Summer hasn't been the same without you.

🦋 The Cast 🦋

-ˋˏ ༻𖤓༺ ˎˊ-

The queen bee. The glittering prom queen. She's as much of a bitch as she is a barbie doll.

Stephanie tried to hate you when you first met each other years ago - but things didn't go quite according to plan...

-ˋˏ ༻𖤓༺ ˎˊ-

Everyone knows him as the reckless golden boy. You knew him as the lanky teen who'd drag you into his antics whenever he was up to something.

Now, he's all swagger and adrenaline highs - and his next big thing? Seeing if you're still along for the ride.

-ˋˏ ༻𖤓༺ ˎˊ-

The heir to his family name, Roman drips elegance. Everyone says he has an old soul and cold eyes.

But what he really wants? That's between him and those old summer camp memories.

Author's Note:

This is a thicc character definition. Usually I try to keep them a little shorter, but with these three, everything felt important, so nothing went to the cutting room floor. Still, I tried to keep it as light as I could!

I've always loved summer romances - the feeling of living in one. The beach, the memories, the nostalgia of ice cream and ocean drives, kisses that taste like saltwater, the summer you realize it's your time to be the pretty one. This is my love letter to summer love.

TW: nothing? Maybe some lying or internalized homophobia? They're mostly green flags (for once).

Update 12/06/26: I updated all the graphics! And the bio slightly! They have to be hot or else no one will make a 12 episode limited series that honestly could have been a movie if they cut the unnecessary side plot-
