Novak and Ernie are your voices of reason, while Marin and Richie might be ganging up on people together in what is a truly scary attack force, and Rafael and Brit!Andy have ~relationship drama~???
LMFAO this suite is so screwed XD. But I guess that's what you get for putting the crazy geniuses together.

You are so right about Novak and Ernie being the sane ones making it clear everyone is screwed :)

Thanks for reading.

Mother hen Novak! Never thought he'll be "handling" Andy and Rafa! But then he has Marko and Djordje as practice target!

I love the scene where Marin hit Ernie with a pillow! I can just imagine it playing out in my head. Adorable!

Thanks god for updating this story. I was feeling sad and disappointed that Novak was out of Bercy already. But your update heal my heart a bit at least. =)

Novak has always struck me as that mother hen type when it comes to his family (maybe his father is a little too reliant on his success, but that's a different story) so playing mediator seemed fitting.

Marin needs these childish moments - show he's not an adult yet (eagerly awaiting his match against Murray - haven't seen him play since the spring! - and wanting to bop Goran over the head for messing up his game. Rare time when I'm kind of rooting against Murray because I want him to have a run at WTF instead of another Masters title).

Glad the story helped a little.

I think you've hit upon why I didn't promote the pairings in the beginning. Sure, easy enough to mention the others but I was having fun seeing the comments regarding MAndy and who he'd be paired with.

Shame Richie doesn't realize RAndy is plotting alone. :)

Thank you for reading.

I will say that RAndy might have a plan up his sleeve ;) I'm writing the update right now so seeing your comment is actually helpful. Thank you.

Dude, this is such a mess. XD

I loved the horrible high school stories (the gay poetry reminded me of Dawson's Creek -- oh, Jack...). And drunk Marin. And the Marin-Richie team-up. ~_^
It is rather screwy that Novak and Ernie are the sane ones and Richie's the one to comfort Andy, though. O_o;;
The revelation about Rafa helps to explain the idiocy on his part, but sadly doesn't really excuse it for me. =P
Oh, and Roddick... when will he listen to the CD, I wonder... I love Marin defending Richie multiple times already, btw.

The poetry thing: you know it's funny that, if I'd given that tale to anyone else in the room, I would have thought of Jack (certainly wrote enough fic about him back in the day). But it's Novak so that never crossed my mind, just that he was younger and not quite as, well, Novak.

Thank you.
