(So where does one go about posting football fic, anyway? I know there's footballslash, but it's not exactly slash. Mostly.)

The sincerest of thanks to ettezag and meretricula for suggestions and encouragement. :)

omg, that lovely UST humming under Silva's every thought and action, it's bloody beautiful is what it is :D

Silva's characterization is A+++++++++ and so is everybody else, especially Iker's captainly duties. what I loved the most is Silvia's envy of Ramos' ability to get along with everybody and Silva being grateful for just playing with Villa, able to bask in his presence *hugs little Chivis*

*mems*

Hee, thank you so much! I must say, I've got a pretty massive soft spot for The Ramos myself, cheery extrovert that he is. :D As for Silva himself, of course I love him the most, which is why I write about his angst. Poor thing. *fluffs his hair*

super late comment, but i absolutely loved everything this story chooses to be and was devastated when it ended because i wanted it to go on forever and ever.

will definitely be re-reading this one!

!! thank you! it's always an awesome surprise to get comments on older fic and I really appreciate it. and am very glad you liked it. :)

Even knowing as little as I do about the situation and the people involved, you've gotten me to not only sympathize with but care about everyone affected. I've missed your writing, and this really brought home to me just how much. ♥

I went back to answer a new comment on this fic and saw that I'd never answered yours! D: Which is horrifying, because it made me smile so much when I got it. Thank you, honey, I really appreciate both the reading and the comment. ♥

I don't know why I read this again and again, if I have to stop in the middle because it hurts too much. I keep wanting to leave one of this gigantic comments that quote 3847283 lines but a few paragraphs in my brain just turns to mush and Feelings and mental keyboard smashes, and so all I can say is that I am still reccing this to everyone who will hear me and that I have it in all my mems and bookmarks and that I think it's one of the best fics in the fandom; all of that even though I've only finished it once in the many times I started reading it - not reading it because I want to finish it, because I've finished it already, re-reading it because it's so damn good. You're amazing, okay.

No wait I actually finished it again and just WOMAN. WHERE ARE YOU GETTING YOUR TALENT FROM CAN I BUY SOME.

lskafsdlfjsdf comments on this fic make me happier than anything else, because, just, this is probably the best thing I've ever written in this fandom and one of my most satisfying writing successes (in that I had something I wanted to do and I pretty much managed to do it how I wanted), period. basically I had a lot of Feelings myself and I really wanted to communicate them and I'm happy it seems I did. and I'm still so glad that you and other people who've been in the fandom so long and observed this whole trajectory have such kind things to say about. ilu. <3

omg this fic has completely left me breathless. if only I'd discovered it earlier. I just...I can't even think of what to write even though I'm bursting with praise.

You capture Silva so perfectly, reading this makes me feel like I'm stepping in his shoes, and what hard shoes they are to fill. Silva is such a complex character but you get him so well. I love the little parts, how he's well-mannered, the allusion to Podolski, how he's bitter about leaving but he
still loves Valencia so much and feels indebted to them.

anyway, this is beautiful, thank you for writing it :)

Oh man, thank you so much. This fic was difficult to write, but a year later it's my favorite thing I've written for this fandom, and it has so many personal feelings tied up in it -- about characterization, about the transfer and the World Cup -- that it's just... really gratifying to hear such complimentary things about it.Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment -- it really made me day to receive it. :)
