I LOVE THIS FIC AND THEIR STUPID FACES AND YOUR STUPID FACE. here is a chat excerpt:
me: WOW MEGNHA IS SUCH A GOOD WRITER acchikocchi: RIGHT???? IT'S SO GOOD me: " David Villa was not an introspective man, but David Villa was not a natural athlete either-- at least, not at birth; he had kicked and pushed and forced and worked himself to have enough stamina for the game, and he was kicking and pushing and forcing himself to introspect now, because the only thing David Villa was truly a natural at, was being able to do whatever it took to do anything, and that was a blessing and a curse and Silva’s biggest weakness right now." GIRL acchikocchi: RIGHT me: GIRL WHO EVEN ARE YOU acchikocchi: like lsdjlajfksljklfdjskfasfd me: LIKE STOP BEING SO GREAT
so there's, you know, that. XD
but seriously, you're a great writer. your characterization is spot fucking on, your prose is pretty impeccable. the plot of this is great since it's people working through actual, real problems that make sense. plus I love your inclusion of the Stevie/Xabi relationship - I can be iffy about using another relationship in fic like this, but you pulled it off flawlessly!
on a more person note, I'm amazed with how well you convey the weirdness and pain of homesickness and of coming home; of the way relationships are and are on dependent on where you live and the people you're around. it speaks to me so much, and I'm sure it speaks to you as well, and you've really made David's relationship with Spain, Valencia and Villa come together beautifully and in a very real way.
sl;dkjfs;ldfjs;oiefhsef g i can't handle you and mer, why are you perfect to me?? :') anyway, i am glad you liked. without the encouragement from the two of you and sarah, this fic would have never made it past what i posted a year ago. i love you so.
I AM SO GLAD YOU COULD RELATE. it's something that comes from personal experience, both our personal experiences, no? it's also just a fascinating thing to write about, a thread that connects me to footballers the most really (other than i guess, ambition and pressure and stuff), leaving home and wondering if you did the right thing by doing so, etc etc.
