that's actually starlight (love, simon AU)

Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Richie Tozier would rather keep his drama confined to the stage. But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his big fucking secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight. Now Richie is actually being blackmailed: if he doesn’t play wingman for awkward Ben "from soc" Hanscom, his sexual identity will become everyone’s business. And way worse, it's very, very likely to fuck over the thing he's got going with his penpal Alfie. And it's a very good thing, mind you.
