do you have any fics with like super long build up and lots of unresolved sexual and romantic tension?
Oh goodness, do I ever. Is there anything better than that moment when itâs been building and building and building and then, finally, yes? Iâve stuck with ones that are 20k+ here because you said âlongâ some where in there and I needed some way to keep this list from exploding, but lemme tell you, itâs taking a lot to keep me from dropping everything and re-reading all of these right now. Enjoy them! And, as always, remember to leave kudos and especially comments for the authors who bring us such amazing stories!
