Sofie, I know nothing about either the characters or the situation, and yet this was somehow so cosy and familiar that my ignorance didn't seem to matter. I particularly enjoyed the first section, the tone was hauntingly beautiful. Thank you.
It was such a difficult thing to write - I worried so much about doing them, and that whole team, justice. I'm not sure I did what I wanted to do, but I'm very glad that it made for a good read even though you weren't really familiar with the people. Thank you!
Still love it, Sofie. It's so subtle, and there's a wonderful familiarity to their relationship, even at the start, when he's still Elkjær. Thank you for sharing this (and them) with us.
I'm still fretting terribly that I didn't do them justice - but when do you ever really do them justice? - but I'm glad that there were things that did work in it. Thank you for reading!
It's wonderfully well-written with raw, relaxed interactions between the two. You have such a simple, elegant, touching way of writing, Sofie. I applause you.
(And Laudrup? I'm going to think of this whenever I see him, assuming he goes somewhere.)
Preben Elkjaer really makes this for me; his vitality and vigour contrast so wonderfully with the cool understatement of your tone and the way the fic unwinds. It's still beautiful, and I still feel my heartstrings tug when I come to the end of it, to that stage of their -- careers? Lives? And I think I'm a bit in love with Michael Laudrup.

(Nah, don't. Think of better things, for he is just that lovely.)

It's okay to be a bit in love with Michael Laudrup - I am too.
