I was so thrilled when I saw you’d posted and now I’m crying. This was heart-breaking. The thought of Rafa dying - no, no, I can’t bear it!!! And that plane is going to crash and Nole is going to die too, isn’t he? The empty seat next to him, the plane rocking gently, Rafa talking to him for the first time, his smile less sad because soon they’re going to be together again forever. *sobs helplessly* You’ve got to make it up to me - I’m begging you to write more of your "What a Way to Make a Living" fic to cheer me up! Please!

P.S. I don’t post often but I just want to say to both you and meretricula that I adore your stories. Both of you write so beautifully and your fics are always a delight - well, except maybe this one, aramley! *breaks down again*

Thank you so much for such a lovely comment! You've made my day ♥ I will try to get more of the office-verse done soon! :)

Wow. . . spooky. This is kind of a new direction for you, n'est-ce pas? (Or have you been doing this in fandoms I don't know about for ages...?)

Anyway, awesome. You remain the only slasher who can get me the slightest bit interested in Nole. :)

It is! I don't think I've ever written anything like this before. It was fun, but I prefer fluff to angst, still :)

My work here is done! ;)

I can't believe i forgot to comment on this, still better late than never.

Really, really beautiful. It made me cry, which i always consider the mark of a good sad!fic since I'm not really a crying person

I just discovered this after diving into the Nole tag on tennisslash . . .

This hurt my heart! And the ending! Poignant and chilling all at once. T____T
