#slow burn in 5k

[aziraphalesbookkeeper]

For a guy who never takes off his gloves, Varian sure does lose them a lot. It’s not really the gloves Hugo notices though—it’s the scars underneath them. Or: 5 times Hugo tries to take off Varian's gloves + 1 time he doesn't have to.

The Golden Door

Date: 14th Feburary 2024 Author: AceArchangel Rating: Teen Word Count/Status: 9,116, ongoing Dynamic: David Alleyne/Tommy Shepherd, Victor Borkowski/Tommy Shepherd, David Alleyne/Ashida Noriko, Julian Keller/Tommy Shepherd Characters: Tommy Shepherd, David Alleyne, Victor Borkowski, Ashida Noriko, Julian Keller, Emma Frost, Jean-Paul Beaubier, Mark Sheppard Tags: Slow Burn, Canon Divergence, Childhood Trauma, Tommy goes to Xavier's, Character Study, Internalized Homophobia

Summary: Tommy lowkey expected to rot in that facility. When a woman comes to take him to a new school, he is the last to complain. Joining a squad, surviving genocide, navigating romances, and fighting the government and terrorists, high school with superpowers is as chaotic as ever.

What if Tommy attended Xavier's rather than joined the Young Avengers AU and Incredibly Slow Thinkfast slowburn. Like they will not kiss for at least 30k. More of a character study than a ship fic.

goal for today: get to the kissing scene

After I eventually finish this Haechan fic (s2g I don’t know why it’s getting so long 😂) and after I finish the rest of unholy, I’m gonna force myself to keep to a word minimum and just write something short because I can’t keep doing these long fics 😭

[fdrsamericanflagduckfloaty]

i used to think 20k was a slowburn but i am 50k words into my fanfiction and it's gonna be like another 5k before they kiss

im really dragging down my readers with this 55k word plot

[dontheckinswear]

i need to preface this by saying that i love and adore fics of all lengths. when i myself have written fics they’ve always been on the short side and a good one shot ALWAYS hits.

but

y’all have to stop tagging 5k word fics as slow burn. like objectively that is a very quick burn.

[scionshtola]

so many ppl hate slow burn...where's that post that's like "if they touch pinkies before ch 50 then i dont want it" bc that's me

86bpm (Best Part of Me)

by snowdreamr

Summary:

Salty tears welled up in Dream’s eyes and a wide smile shone on his face. His daughter was in his arms, giggling adorably, and swatted his cheek.“Dada,” she repeated, and it rang beautifully. It resonated like a perfect symphony—a sound of the utmost complexity, turning Dream’s insides into cotton. “I love you, princess,” he whispered, pinching her little nose. Then, he turned around and headed for the door. But before he got there, his daughter said something else. Or, well, she meowed something else. He ran back towards the crib, and in the very same place where he’d left his human baby less than five seconds ago… he found a kitten.

Dream’s long path towards building a family.

Shout out to that fanfic I read once that was tagged 'eventual smut' and by 'eventual' the author meant second chapter.

Technically correct but man that was not what I expected.
