Okay so the most grueling slowburn I’ve ever read was 300k or 400k words and they had their one and only kiss in the final chapter in the 5th to last paragraph (it’s crazy that I’m choosing that one when I’ve literally read twyutd)

For a true slow burn? Probably one where they didn’t have their first kiss until about 600k then it took them the rest of the fic to get on the same page about liking each other. But also a little while back, I peeped a ship tag on a million word in-progress fic and while the ships is definitely not that’s not the main point of the story, I’m about 900k in and there’s been barely even a drop of a romantic dynamic between the two yet.
