This Is How You Lose the Time War

Among the ashes of a war-torn future, two agents on opposite sides of a time-spanning conflict begin exchanging taunting messages. What starts as a challenge becomes a secret correspondence threaded through different eras, hidden in unusual forms and carried across strands of time.

As the letters continue, the agents learn more about each other and about the worlds they serve. Their missions pull them toward sabotage, surveillance, and shifting the course of history, while their private connection grows into something intimate and risky.

The story moves between brief moments of action and the letters themselves, building toward a romance that must remain hidden from both factions. The central tension is whether the bond can survive a war that touches time, identity, and loyalty itself.
