I’m going to say this on tumblr because I KNOW the author is on here but there’s this certain she ra fanfic I’ve been following literally since the start and it’s at almost 500k (congrats abt that by the way) and Catra and Adora have had a SINGLE interaction. A SINGLE ONE. And that’s through magic, they were thousands of miles away.
This author is so good at the long game with this slow burn that I can feel my sanity slipping away from me. Every week when they update I’ll stay up and wait for the chapter being like “they won’t interact, this is only act 2 but maybe they’ll mention each other.”
I feel like a little mouse that’s being slowly fed cheese so I can be lured to a mouse trap. Me going insane going i probably have like 3 more months before they even have ANY kind of interaction that isn’t them thinking about each other.
This is NOT a criticism, I hold this in such high regard because I AM GOING INSANE
