A fine story, easy to relate to (7)
I believe the answer is:
affable
'easy to relate to' is the definition.
(affable means easy to get along with)
'a fine story' is the wordplay.
'fine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation e.g. condition of old coins, books).
'story' becomes 'fable' (fable is a kind of story).
'a'+'f'+'fable'='AFFABLE'
(Other definitions for affable that I've seen before include "Congenial, easy to walk" , "Courteous of pleasantly easy-going" , "Showing friendly warmth" , "Good-natured, sociable" , "Amiable, genial" .)
