Fic: Distance - Tumblr Posts
Had to do a little Tag Update for some upcoming scenes. Also made the decison to change the rating from mature to explicit, so please keep this in mind as you continue to read :)
Chapter 3 is here, friends! It's longer than anticipated, it's just under 8k words 👀 so pls enjoy!
I'm, unfortunately, very sick with the flu rn so imma be in bed ready to read your thoughts 🖤
Chapter 4 is here! <3
Buckle in because it's another sad one, but I promise it'll turn around soon! You will not have to wait too long for chapter 5. It'll be out in a day or two, most likely :) <3
Still working on chapter 5! I think it might be ready tomorrow, but we'll see.
I've updated the tags slightly (will be adding more tags as necessary) and I also updated the chapter count! Tentatively planning for 12 chapters total but that may change. Thanks for reading, friends 🩷🩷🩷

I didn't want to leave y'all on a sad note for too long so here is chapter 5!!!
Things are finally starting to look up for our boys!
Working on chapter 6 of my fengqing fic (should be ready for me to post 6/20!) and found I needed to reference my shitty drawing of their apartment and thought I'd share with y'all!
The closest/laundry is actually more like closet/electrical panel/other maintenance shit--I ended up moving the laundry to the bathroom. Originally planned for there to be a hallway to the right of the front door where Feng Xin's room would be so that their spaces were super separated (like Feng Xin and Mu Qing are right now) but decided against it. Yes, there are windows in their rooms as well, I just forgot to add them y'all. Also those exterior stairs are drawn so wonky but you get the gist. I thought it'd make their coffee table a funky shape but legit I've actually just been imagining it was a regular old rectangle in the actual story lol

Chapter 6 is officially here!!! Please let me know what y'all think of it 🩷🩷🩷
Spoiler for chapter 6 of Distance Makes the Heart so Fucking Annoyed that I just had to share because I had way too much fun with it

Chapter seven is here early :)
Just about 7.2K words for ya! I'm very proud of this one but, just a side note, I proofread all my own stuff and I didn't proofread this one as thoroughly as I would have liked, so please do reach out if you see any glaring mistakes ! <3
Hey y'all! I wanted to give a heads up that this week's chapter of Distance Makes the Heart So Fucking Annoyed is probably going to be posted tomorrow (July 5th) rather than today.
Thanks for your patience and understanding! 🩷
Still working on this one, friends! Thanks again for waiting.
It's going to have to be posted later today (July 6th) but I super super promise it'll be worth the wait. Just to give you an idea, it's going to be over 10k! And since y'all have waited so long, I think it's only fair to tell you this chapter is titled The Hoodie :) 🩷

Chapter 8 Update!
Hey, y'all! Thank you so much for waiting for this chapter!
It's literally nearly 16K words long and I really hope you enjoy it. Please mind these chapter-specific content warnings: hurt/no comfort; heavy angst; grief; talk of terminal illness/hospital stays; allusions to minor character death but no graphic descriptions Happy Reading! <3
Working on chapter 9 of Distance and have been debating about making this silly little text convo into its own chapter--decided it'd probably be best to just post it here--so please enjoy!

Haven't quite finished chapter 9 of Distance yet but I will be working on it! Expect it this weekend (:
Chapter 9 of Distance is coming today! It's not going to be quite as long as the monster chapter 8 was, but it'll be lengthy! I had an opportunity to end it on a really bad cliffhanger but opted not to (per my partner's plea, so pls do thank him for it lmao) So it's taken a bit longer again.
Realistically, I think we can expect chapter 10 next Thursday, July 25th 🩷
Chapter 9!
We did it, lads. Chapter 9 is finally here <3
We're sitting at 8.8k words for this one, so please enjoy the read and let me know what you think :)
Chapter 10 of Distance is coming... soon! I'm not sure I'll be able to finish it tonight, friends. I've recently gone back to work after being off for the summer and I've also been helping a friend with childcare, so I haven't had as much time to write as before.
I'm hopeful that chapter 10 will be out by tomorrow evening at the latest <3
Chapter 10 of Distance is coming tomorrow. Thanks again for waiting for so long for this one, friends.
This chapter in particular has been kicking my ass but I only have roughly 1k words left to write before it'll be finished. <3
So... this chapter has gotten away from me again.
I apparently had much more than 1k words left to write. Chapter 10 is just about 10k words long at the moment and I'm still not finished with it. x.x I'm exhausted and need to go to bed, but thank you again for waiting <3
I really, really think it'll be ready today (July 30th) at some point <3

Chapter 10 !
It's finally here!!! It's just under 14k words so I hope it was worth the wait!
CW for this chapter: body checking; lots of talk about sex and intimacy; explicit smut
I was determined to post this on the 30th and I just barely made the deadline by literally two minutes. So this is NOT actually proofread. (Though I do proofread and edit as I go) so please do let me know if you see any glaring mistakes.
Thank you again--so very much--for waiting! I can't wait to hear what y'all think <3
