Hallo, Aro is a series of flash fiction stories about allosexual aromantic characters navigating friendship, sexual attraction, aromanticism and the weight of amatonormative expectation.
Contains: A gay aromantic man dealing with the casual amatonormativity of alloromantics who think they accept his aromanticism.
