"Pfff I don't know what I can say, I can only possibly imagine Xabi with Steve, but I suposse everybody have to try new things sometimes *runs to look for every Xabi/Esteban fic she can find* :)"

"I've really liked this fic, it doesn't tell 'nothing' specific, but it tells everything. They don't actually have a couple relationship, but the fic shows this kind of beginning slow, uncertain, full of doubts. I've liked the transition from friendship to something more, little by little, whithout great words or gestures, just the everyday relation, the rutine. I'm really surprised there's fic of this pairing in english because I've always though not the couple neither Granero are popular, but I'm really pleased that they become popular beyond our frontiers. Thank you very much!"

"I like Steve/Xabi pairing, but I'm starting to enjoy Xanero's fics too. I think they're an interesting couple (because the age difference between them and the way Esteban is, aparently mature for his age and shy, would bring a breath of fresh air and dilemmas to always classy and discreet Xabi).
I like specially two things:
1. The way you tell 'the beginning' between them, gradually and with normal situations, (things in common).
2. THIS! Nice phrase -> He learned althought sometimes it seems like they can read them mints, it doesn't mean they can't hurt or disappoint them.

Thank you so much for your permission and share this fic with this community =)"

"Yay! They're so cute! I love it! And Alvarito taking care of El Pirata, my God, captain Arbeloa to the rescue! And the so natural way they became closer... and how then their relationship evolute... and Esteban's declaration!!!! *sighs*
By the way, my favourite Beatle is George too... Thank you!"

"Wow, there's a lot of similarities between your and our ideas of the pairing, where you take the inspiration from? Xabi/Esteban is not exactly a 'famous' OTP, but it's nice see how they slowly expand. I've really liked, specially the final, please, they're SO sweet *-*"

"aaaaaaaw, i've loved it, I think I've got some weakness for fics that relate this kind of so beautiful beginnings... This 'step by step' situation, not like they suddlenly fall in love but through the films, the music, the books..."

"Short, cute and super sweet ^^
But I must confess that I would like to read a little bit more (with that final, it's logical XDD)"

yimykes said:
"It's beautiful ♥. Curious thing is that more than the story itself, I love the topic, how you speak about the slow and deliberate beginning of their relationship, and all that Xabi learnt about love, because they're simple but real things, which everybody can identify oneself. I like to see how each one approach to the other step by step and it's pretty amazing that, in english fandom, this two discuss about their likes and preferences too. Maybe we all have a common vision, they're well stereotype, after all :) Really nice fic:"

Btw, I don't know if I've forgotten to replace it somewhere, but "Xanero" is how we call the Xabi/Esteban pairing, y'know :P
