For all the stories that take a long, looong blue-balling amount of time for two people to fall in love. For all the stories that keep you up until 5 in the morning crying 'one more chapter!' in the hopes the characters will accidentally brush hands in the next one. For all the stories that are over 100K words before the first kiss even happens and you are willing to wait that long. For all the stories where the platonic friendship slowly but surely turns into a romantic attraction and when they finally kiss you throw your fists in the air (dropping your phone) screaming "YES!" and crying tears of joy for your brand new otp. For all the stories with the awkward 'oh no there was a mistake and we have to share a bed but it's okay because it's not like she has a crush on me or anything right?' scene that ends with accidental midnight cuddles and 'oh no I think I'm in love with my best friend'. For all the stories that you are not gonna finish in one day unless you speed read and hate yourself the next morning because you skipped sleep. For slow burns.
