Idk about the singer but we all know Cal loves some stupid memes, so what if it's just like stupid Twitter replied between Cal and her because they know even with time zones it's fun to wake up to stupid memes

Thanks for the suggestion! I’m combining this one with another one:

hi i love ur writing sm ! could u do a blurb where y/n has been getting a lot of hate from the fans and calum comforts her and stands up for her ?

Hope you enjoy!

Here’s part one, two, three, and four. This is the Distance series on my masterlist!

If you have any suggestions for this series, please send them my way! I’ll use as many as I can while still progressing the universe along as well!

__________________________

It’s really hard to say goodbye. Who else is gonna play with his hair and who else is gonna beg him to be lazy and watch movies all day and they don’t even even watch movies and wind up laying next to his pool to gaze up at the sun and talk about the universe. And who’s going to sit with him at too damn early in the morning snacking on ice cream that they were supposed to be saving for tomorrow but it’s tomorrow anyways, so why not have it?

“I’m gonna flood you with stupid memes,” she promises, sunglasses pushed up into her hair and gazing up into the not fully dawned morning sun that casts about Calum. The airport’s not as easy as when she first arrived, but there’s still the distinct hum of wheels rolling over concrete and the sound of planes breaking the barrier between sky and earth. 

“If you don’t, I’ll be sad,” he punctuates the sentence by rolling out his bottom lip. 

She gently reaches up to tap the end of his nose. “None of that. No sadness. Only memes.”

Calum laughs, but nods. “Only memes.” Their hug is long, inhaling again the scent of his almost faded cologne and Gain laundry detergent. And Calum can catch the citrus of her body wash amongst the hearty layer of his own detergent. But it smells so right on her. In the embrace, Calum wants to tell her she will be missed, that it’s going to suck not waking up to her morning face, all pinched up and eyes barely opened. “Let me know when the plane lands and when you make it home. So I know you’re safe,” he whispers instead. 

“Of course.” It’s on her lips, the I miss you, but she holds it between her lips and behind her teeth. She holds onto that because she doesn’t want to burden Calum. Her fingers trail up his back and into the nape of the not fully brunette and just barely blonde strands. She knows her fingers are gonna miss this. 

True to her word, when she makes it back home with her dog in toe, she lets Calum know that she’s safe. And not even a couple hours later, right before bed for her, Calum sees that she’s tweeted at him. It’s a 5SOS meme and Calum chuckles, before responding with his own. 

The thread expands every day, more and more of their replies are just memes with no context, memes that they know the other person will get, memes in tweets and threads that aren’t even related to the original thread. And God, it makes Calum miss her laughing in his ears even more. He pictures her on his couch and her curled up next to Duke, but giving him his space. 

While she loves sending the memes, she almost dreads opening up Twitter. Most people are nice, but some of just nasty. They attack her for everything and nothing all at once. She’s sure she can’t even breathe right if they could have input on that. It’s just starting to add up, people telling her she’s using Calum for clout as her debut album is gearing up to release. No matter what she does, if she explains that Calum and her are genuine friends or ignores the hate, it just keeps flooding in, keeps piling on. 

Calum sends a meme and the lack of a response in the day is concerning but not enough. But as the days pass, and they’ve slowed on the video calls just between his work starting in the studio and hers that’s been underway for a while, Calum knows something is up. So he tries to contact her, Call me when you get the chance. Need to see your pretty face. 

Her reply is a simple, Okay. As the day starts to wind down for Calum, with no call form her, he knows it’s got to be right at the crack of dawn to her, but he has to figure out what’s going on. She answers the call after the first couple of rings. Her eyes are puffy. 

“What happened baby?” Calum asks. His body is immediately flooded with concern and he’s almost tempted to get on a flight right now. 

She explains everything, all the tweets that are basically calling her an attention whore and a clout chaser and it’s just all becoming too much to handle. Calum asks what he can do, what they need to do to make things easier for her. At first, she just rants about how unfair it is and because it’s really just because she really likes Calum and his company and she wants to make this a thing but there’s distance and she does not ever want to be seen as using Calum’s fame in her favor. 

Calum just listens and he can tell by the bags under her eyes that she hasn’t slept a wink. So he encourages just to rest and thankfully, she doesn’t have anything important to do. So once the call ends, they agree maybe they interact a little less on social media on their professional accounts, most of the social media interactions were on their private accounts, just so it was more protected. But every so often, she posted about a care package, or about the bands achievements and Calum posted about her second single, to help promote it of course, but also because he really did love the music she was making and the stories she had to share. But if it helps ease some of the anxiety to do that less publicly, Calum has no issue dialing that back. 

But then he can’t sleep that night. It eats away at him that people would be so nasty towards her and he wishes he could do more than just console through a screen, but he knows he’ll do what he can--no matter what it is. Please know your words have weight. Whatever you say can seriously affect the person on the other side of the screen. Be kind, choose words carefully. 

He truly wants to say more, he wants to use her name but he doesn’t want to add more fuel to the fire, doesn’t want to go against his word that he gave her. So he settles for that and though, sleep comes in waves, he tries to find peace in knowing he’s doing the right thing. 

When she wakes, she doesn’t bother with social media, finishes up her evening, gets ready for bed. She sees the text from Calum and attached is a video of Duke walking around in a Christmas sweater. Because I know you love Duke and Christmas. Keep your chin up, buttercup. It’s all gonna be okay.

Thank you, Calum. It means a lot. She waits, fingers toying on the idea of saying more. There will always be more to say, like it really does make her feel heard and listened too and respected, and she misses him. God, she misses him.

CC and 2018

I think it is safe to say that one thing we all agree on, 2018 was by far the hardest year to watch with respect to C/rissC/olfter. But as difficult as some of the obstacles were that were thrown in front of them, and us, we had quite a few positives. So here is my annual CC review:)  If you want to add, please please do.  

I will start with perhaps the best gift we got all year. The first photo that has both of our guys features posted publicly since G/lee ended from the night they both attended the EJAF Oscar screening and sat at the same table.

The rest is under read more as I don’t want to clog your dash boards!

Back in January, we had D on an interview wearing the Sushi Pin reminding us of the Klaine Roll.

And when he was on the Build Series and he quoted C’s book (x):

STORYLAND on E/lvis!!  (x) 

And then we have the Shang/ela quote (x) which ofc was corrected, but we know exactly what was meant.

“Or Darren Criss. I just met him, and he said: “Hi, Shangela” and I go: “Ooh, my baby daddy know me!” So Chris Colfer is gonna have to share him with me.”

An Epic IG like timed precisely right when the pap school yard kiss was published:

Or this IG like that was C reminding everyone that he is firmly by D’s side:

A very pointed and funny IG right after a certain illegal activity was posted on SM

C liked these tweets by G/us whom we had just learned sang Karaoke with D and Eri/ch Ber/gen, a person to whom C has no known connection but we all know is D’s friend.  Subtle perhaps, but C reminding us early into the encage that he was 100% supporting D.  And I think he knows better than any of us what the truth is and why it happened.

A like that was both an acknowledgement of a TV show as well as a hint of a future ball

The R/u Pau/l’s Podcast where C admitted to being a liar.  He went on to say that writing for villains is therapeutic and that there are people in his life that he does not know how they sleep at night.  And we all know precisely who C is referring to with this quote.  He went on to talk about filing life with love and laughter no matter the obstacles (x).  

One of the best gits of 2018, C/hris C/olfer, my favorite Tin Hatter, wearing a shirt that says “Everything you know is a lie.”  His self proclaimed “ALL CAPS SELF.”

Daisy in London, so incredibly blatant it was unreal, not even plausible deniability applies to this like:

Followed by this epic, beautiful, emotional, gorgeous performance of a song D originally sang in character to K/urt:

C/rissC/olfer Riot of 2018 #2, the HP premiere (you know, that character they both fanboy over) where they both looked so damn HAPPY.

IDGAF Tweet, a direct reference to usTinhats:

Followed by an act of defiance that speaks for itself. D was making a loud and profound statement and I am willing to be his man was quite proud when he saw this video (credit to @darrencrissource).

Gotta love that D felt compelled to post this mistake on his IG, I guess something about it made him laugh and think of his man.

Perhaps not CC related but absolute, definitive proof D does not post all of (or the majority of) the content of his SM.

Ofc we would not went to forget K’s b-day party where D was tagged but not pictured in the group photo, otherwise known as CC Riot #3. And look where his name appears, right next to his man he looks quite content. Perhaps he is staring at his love?

A reminder to Trust the Process

Both went to see S/weeney T/odd in NYC. They may not have gone together, but how sweet they took matching photos with the cast!

This like speaks for itself:

How could we forget this fun tweet on National Boyfriend Day? To be clear, NOT K/laine, that is very much CC

TLOS, the gift that just gives and gives and gives:

Over the course of an exhausting and obsessive search for the truth, the Book Huggers make the greatest discovery of their young lives.

Writing the L/and of S/tories has taught me what a hero truly is, and that affects my day-to-day choices. On the other hand, writing about the villains in the L/and of S/tories has taught me that I’m only three mistakes away from becoming one and how to prevent it. 

From C/hris C/ofer, TLOS: The U/ltimate B/ook H/ugger’s Guide.

A little reprise of God Save the Queer at Spirit Day- just look at the manner in which D is displaying his shirt as if he is a proud representative of the community.

D tweeting about this old cover of EW:

And to end the year with a smile, Very C/rissC/olfer Christmas from Cooper and Fitz:)

Here is hoping that 2019 is much, much brighter and not everything has to be hidden.  But despite the horror show that unfolded, 2018 gifted us with quite a bit.
