Ok, these are AMAZING. I feel like it's my birthday or something, so much Figo, and so many different facets -- thank you, thank you, thank you. &hearts

The last one actually made laugh out loud, clumsy Zlatan + unwaxed, exasperated Figo = truly fantastic. And Figo being pleased with himself despite not being interested -- of course he is.

And the Raul one is just ... beautiful, god. It gives me chills, I love how much you've packed into the 100 words -- the contrast between the cities, and so much about Raul, and his different personae. Wow.

Zindane smiling "almost apologetic, but not, really" is PERFECT, as is the fact that they both get it. (And, also: Scary hot, in the middle of the pitch.)

All I can do about the Pep one, really, is flail, because it's so freaking sexy I seriously can't take it. *goes to read it for the eighth time* *flails and drools*

Comforting, bitter Figo is awesome. I love the complex way you wrote him with Cris, disappointed and frustrated but still convincingly supportive.

And the first one, finally, is glorious -- the image of those two grinning into a mirror together, all flash and fancy, makes everything better. And the detail about Rui's smile being so big and yet still totally genuine is spot-on.

*adding to memories*

(Did I mention thank you? &hearts &hearts &hearts &hearts)

You're welcome!! ♥

I love the image of pleased Figo trying to be grumpy, and Zlatan looming over him leering. (There's a half-written Helen/Luis one that follows but is... only half-written.)

I worry for Raul so much. And feel so bad for him, that he's going to get fucked over by his club. :(

I love the professionals/BFFs/enemies contrast. Zizou, I miss you. (Guh, so hot. It still kills me.)

Hooray. *g*

I imagine him as being hurt and grumpy and tired, but still needing to set up all the little Portugal babies for success. *hugs him*

I kind of want Inter and Benfica to run into each other, just to watch all the adorable Portuguese going-ons, um, go on.

(And thank you!!! *hugs you* ♥)
