He wants to go back in time to change it because people like Miro and Arne and even Micha-people like them don't have as many years left as he does

Um, wow. I don't even follow Germany but I always click on your ficlets - because they're short, and I have the attention span of a gnat; because they're good; because they compress so much information and so much emotion into so few words. Love your Neuer (here and in general). Keep up the good work! if germany ends takes the title in 2014 i can honestly say that everything i know about the mannschaft, i learned from rps

The fifth one is amazing, really. You captured the mood so well, went from the frustration and sadness to a hopeful outlook on a bright and shiny future (and you broke my heart btw with that comment about Arne, Miro and Micha, thanks... ;D) and it just fits the youthful, eager team members so much - not just Neuer, but Müller too and Kroos and all the others... <333

Oh and I loved just how shook up you portrayed him after the goal-from-England-that-was-no-goal... it was perfectly adding up to his inexperience and youthful age! (Although I am of the opinion that Neuer knew perfectly well what he was doing there, catching that ball and playing like nothing ever happened.. ;-D)

Thanks a lot for this story, it is just beautiful! =D

sklfgdf tapes your heart back together ;__;!! sigh, i always get really happy when the older players interact with the new players and ~pass on their wisdom~ from previous tournaments and things. they all have a lot to learn from each other! and lmao they really are such eager puppies (especially thomas ♥)

HAHA i wouldn't doubt it, that sneaky kid, though on some levels i hope he did feel just a little bad about it >__>

thank you so much! i'm really glad you enjoyed it :)!

Teary and sniffly here. This is gorgeous. My favorite part is how he wishes he could have done all those things for OTHER people. He wants to take away their pain! Oh my, so much responsibility on such a young man's shoulders.

Really, really beautiful.

ahhh passes you tissue ;__;! oh yes, selfless bb manuel neuer ♥! and lmao i don't know, maybe it's a little bit of wishful thinking on my part but i really hope germany's teamgeist does encompass them all to that level ♥

thank you so much for reading and commenting :)!
