Summary: A series of letters exchanged between Will and Skandar while Skandar is in Mexico filming Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
A/N: It's going to be a little longer before the last part, because I'm going away for a couple of days, so I thought I'd get this up as quickly as I could. XD 1/4 here. 2/4 here. 4/4 here.
(It is Christmas Eve and Will and Skandar are somewhat, er, busy, in Skandar's trailer when Will's phone beeps. He apologises, clambers off the bed, locates his trousers, and pulls out his phone.)

Hi! How are things? Did you have a good Christmas? It's going really well here. I missed him so much, you have no idea. Actually, you probably have a pretty good idea, considering how much time I spent moping around and complaining to you about it. But really, it's so amazing seeing him again. Although -- well, there have been some problems.
The main one is that we've probably had less than an hour alone together in total. You know what it's like trying to find any privacy like that, especially during Christmas. We keep being interrupted at inappropriate moments by Ben, who finds it hilarious.
The other thing is that I kind of assumed that Michael knew that Skandar and I are together, but he didn't. I have no idea how. You'd think that if he didn't work it out from the fact that Skandar has spent half his time writing to me ever since they've been here, he might have got a clue when I turned up as a Christmas surprise and Skandar ran up and hugged me so hard that we both nearly fell over.
No, though. It took him seeing us kissing in Skandar's trailer for the penny to drop. He doesn't seem particularly thrilled about it, to be honest. He's been funny with Skandar ever since, and Skandar doesn't seem to mind, which bothers me. But I guess Skandar's the one who has to work with him, not me, so it's not really my business.
Will P. is lovely. There's a really strange feeling being around everyone, though -- I'm sure you'll know what I mean when you come -- because it's like how it always was only completely wrong and mixed up. It felt right being there with Skandar and Georgie and Ben, but I kept expecting you or Andrew to turn up, and...I don't know. Will P. is really nice to everyone and it seems like they all get on, but it's so different to how it was on set with the four of us, or the five of us I suppose with Ben.
Anyway, it's not a big problem. Actually the main problem is Michael and his bloody trivia. I told you about that, didn't I? Well, yesterday he spent more than twenty minutes (Ben timed it) telling me and Georgie all about certain types of Mexican plants. This is not knowledge that I need!
See you soon!
xoxo Will

I had a really good Christmas, thanks. At least, most of it was good. My parents got into a huge fight with Lulu in the morning (I think I told you about some of this stuff?) but it calmed down by dinnertime and everything was fine after that.
I'm so happy for you and Skandar. I know I got kind of cross with you about all your moping, but I did feel sorry for you. It must have been hard. I'm kind of amused by the idea of Ben walking in on you, though. And not so amused by this news about Michael. He sounds a bit homophobic. Does it really not bother Skandar? It would bother me.
I think I know what you mean about the atmosphere on set. Georgie said some similar things about it, although I could tell she was trying to be positive. We always knew it would be strange for them, though, having everything change this time around.
I'm really looking forward to visiting. I'm really not looking forward to learning about Mexican plants, but hey, there's a downside to everything.
Are you still planning that thing with the notes? I have some little squares of paper (like Post-Its but not sticky) that you could use. My uncle got me them for Christmas but I have no use for them, and they seemed perfect. Let me know if you want me to bring them.

Sorry to hear about the stuff with Lulu. I hope it gets sorted out. I send virtual hugs if that helps?
Ben says Michael isn't a homophobe and that he's just totally confused by the whole situation and that I'm paranoid, but I don't know. I think Skandar does mind, really, but is trying not to let it bother him. After all, he has to work with the guy. I think they're all dealing really well with all the changes, anyway.
I am still planning the notes thing, although I have no idea how I'll manage it without him realising what I'm doing. The paper sounds perfect, thank you!
See you in a couple of days. :)

William Moseley to Skandar Keynes.
Written on a small square of pale blue paper and left on top of Will's cream coloured cable-knit scarf, which is lying coiled on Skandar's bed. Skandar discovers it when he returns from the airport after seeing Will off back to London. After checking that the door is locked and there is no way that anyone is going to see him, he wraps the scarf loosely around his neck and brings the soft wool close to his face, inhaling.
Here you go.
You stay out of trouble too. xoxo

William Moseley to Skandar Keynes.
Written in tiny letters on a tightly folded piece of the pale blue paper, and discovered in Skandar's left Converse a few minutes later. Almost thrown away, but then painstakingly unfolded and flattened when recognised.

William Moseley to Skandar Keynes.
Blue paper again, stuck to a box of cereal at catering. Skandar reads the note and immediately tears it from the box, stuffing it into his pocket, which is futile really as he was the last to get up and everybody, it seems, has already poured their cereal from this exact box.
Remember the time we used my breakfast table for something other than eating off? xoxo

Skandar Keynes to Ben Barnes.
Written on small, folded piece of paper and hidden in Ben's sandwich at lunch. Not choked on, to Skandar's great disappointment, as Ben has a habit of peeling back the bread and checking if any suspicious vegetables have been added to his egg mayo.

Passed to her during one of Michael's many pep talks.

Passed right back again.
OH. NEVER MIND THEN, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.

Well, I'll tell you what DIDN'T happen. I definitely didn't write a particularly offensive message on the side of Ben's trailer that got us both into a lot of trouble with Michael. That didn't happen at all. You know I'd never do a thing like that.
...I have the feeling we won't be telling this story when we're asked if there were any pranks on set.
I hope you realise this was all your fault.

William Moseley to Skandar Keynes.
Found in Skandar's otherwise empty suitcase when he drags it out from beneath the bed to start packing up for their relocation to New Zealand.

This is the last of the notes, but that doesn't mean you're escaping contact with me. Love you.

I THINK YOU MAY HAVE MISSED THE POINT.
STARTLED BY YOUR USELESSNESS,
SKANDAR AMIN CASPER KEYNES.
Georgie Henley to the general public.
Written in large block letters on A4 sheets of paper and found taped to several trailer doors.
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON AROUND HERE? SOMEBODY PLEASE EXPLAIN.
Ben Barnes to Georgie Henley.
Passed to her during one of Michael's many pep talks.
i have nothing to do with it, georgie darling, but will has been leaving skandar dirty notes.
Georgie Henley to Ben Barnes.
Passed right back again.
OH. NEVER MIND THEN, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
Will Poulter to Georgie Henley.
Passed across Skandar, moments later.
Is this entire cast completely insane??
Georgie Henley to Will Poulter.
Passed across Skandar again, and torn up moments later by Michael when he finally realises why nobody is listening to him.
PRETTY MUCH, YES.

Well, I'll tell you what DIDN'T happen. I definitely didn't write a particularly offensive message on the side of Ben's trailer that got us both into a lot of trouble with Michael. That didn't happen at all. You know I'd never do a thing like that.
...I have the feeling we won't be telling this story when we're asked if there were any pranks on set.
I hope you realise this was all your fault.
Seriously not in the crew's good books,
Skandar Amin Casper Keynes.
William Moseley to Skandar Keynes.
Found in Skandar's otherwise empty suitcase when he drags it out from beneath the bed to start packing up for their relocation to New Zealand.
Tell NZ that I miss it. Tell yourself that I miss you.
This is the last of the notes, but that doesn't mean you're escaping contact with me. Love you.
xoxo Will
4/4 here.
EDIT: I HAVE SOME SERIOUSLY AWESOME PEOPLE ON MY FLIST, OKAY.
