After the revival of the nearby farm, the atmosphere in the town changed, everyone is eager for the addition. The arrival is marked by a noted change in everyone’s mood, his own included.
Follows the rough timeline and dialogue set up by the game itself, but takes liberties in adding extra scenes and character development, specifically for Shane’s personal friendship/romance.
He sat there anxiously as she got up and left him in the waiting room. Something about the sterile atmosphere set him on edge, reminded him of the night he gained custody of Jas. All of it was an unpleasant memory that made him thirsty, and he berated himself for being an idiot and coming along. Hadn’t he thought about what going to a doctor’s office and just waiting would feel like? It was all too familiar, along with knowing that the whole point was to see if Val was still in remission made his mouth taste bad. The idea of her getting sick again and having to leave made him feel sick, stomach gurgling in anticipation. Sick and nervous, he clutched her bag tightly for support, an item anchoring him to this reality.
all ive done for a week straight is go to work and write fanfiction and one is way more emotionally fulfilling than the other

Seeing her putz around inside of her house was so different than everything else had been in public. He got a chance to see the little things he’d noticed expanded upon. It wasn’t just the orange in her cherry wood hair; he saw how she checked her face every time she passed by the big mirror in her living room, how she idly rested her hand over the crescent scar on her chest, how she felt the edge of her fingernail with her thumb when she was concentrating on something. It was that she always avoided stepping on the edge of her rug, and that she clearly favored her left side when carrying something, and that she hummed something familiar and wordless when she was distracted. It all felt too intimate to see, like he was intruding on something he shouldn’t be. Like a fly on the wall spying at her life, he was half expecting her to finally spot him and swat him away.

Val greeted him at the farm, bright smile soothing the burning desire for a drink a bit. It was nice, wide and shining and crooked, a beautiful compliment to the way the setting sun pulled all the red from her hair. The genuine look of happiness to see him was apparent and he found he needed that kind of approval. So many people looked at him with pity or disdain that he'd just gotten used to it; the comfortable warmth of approval eased him in more ways than he could count.

now that having basically any image in your posts places you at risk of getting flagged for “sensitive content” by the new algorithms, we’re just going have to start posting our reaction images in text format

Reading Fic Pre-Posting: No typos whatsoever. Reads well. Flows beautifully. I have definitely found all possible spelling and grammar errors.
Reading Fic After Posting: A typo every three lines. Ten grammatical errors. Switches tense twice. POV changes for no discernible reason. Uses the word “look” five times in one sentence.
finally a complete set of the pictures i draw with my mouse in paint to show my friends what my face looks like when they tell me WILD stories during group calls

If your fic is 1000 words long, you can’t tag it slow burn. It’s not slow burn. That is a matchstick. And this is my personal bias here but if those motherfuckers you’re writing experience significant forward momentum in their relationship in under 5k words, then that is just a regular old burn. Slow burn should be borderline intolerable and a mistake to start reading at 2 in the morning.
If the fic doesn’t have multiple scenes where two people almost kiss but then don’t because of a contrived interruption that they are both grateful for and angry about, until the desperate reader is forced every other paragraph to mutter, “this is fucking ridiculous, this is bullshit, I’m so fucking mad, please update sooooooooooon,” then it isn’t a slow burn. It is a romance and that is a lovely thing but. Slow burns should feel like being set on fire unto your death but the tinder is people not kissing and the spark is people who don’t admit they love each other and the whole thing is. You know. Slow.
CORRECT
I once read a slow burn where the main pairing didn’t even speak to each other ontil 80k words in
This is the funniest fucking thing I’ve ever read and the only true slow burn fic

me: it’s important to respect the time and effort fic authors put into producing content, for free,
also me, scrolling through ao3 looking for something halfway decent to read:

torture is writing some scenes you REALLY LIKE and feel proud of, but they take place in the MIDDLE of this long fic, and you haven’t written any of the build up, and if you try and post them on their own for cheap and instant Validation ™, they won’t come across nearly as powerfully because they weren’t earned.
alternately just fantasize about the good part over and over thinking about how good it’d be without ever writing any of it so you have nothing to show for it at all
