this is the most delightful thing ever ♥

[aramley]

Aww, yay, thanks :) ♥

OMG OMG OMG

OK I HAVE TO GO TO SEMINAR RIGHT NOW

BUT I LOVE THIS. AND YOU. AND THIS. AND I WILL BE BACK. ♥♥♥

[meretricula]

right, so, I don't know if this is on purpose or what but this fic is like a bingo of "things Veronica loves about Rafa/Nole". Rafa's thing for Novak's glasses! Djordje is everybody's favorite! boys being assholes, in an affectionate way! Andy and Jamie cameos! matching Blackberries! PRESSER EXTRACTS.

also omgggggg of course Novak would reprogram Rafa's phone so his ringtone is La Bamba. and all their stuff mixed up across two hotel suites, and Novak wearing Rafa's shorts. and Benito and Tio Toni and Marian ♥ forever.

if I quoted all the lines I loved I would be here forever, but:

"Does it matter where the story is?" Novak makes an expansive gesture. "Did you hear the part about the being eaten by wolves because nobody believe him? This is the important part!"

Novak's imperfect English is perfect. plus, Aesop. ilu^infinity

[aramley]

It's partly that I think we have a Rafa/Nole shared brain now, but it is partly intentional too, because this fic was mostly your idea and I wanted you to like it :D :D :D If there were intellectual copyright and, you know, money in fandom you'd be entitled to like 75% of everything I've written since we met. PLEASE NEVER LEAVE ME.

ilu^infinity PLUS ONE ♥

[meretricula]

as though you could write anything I wouldn't like. ♥ and also AS THOUGH YOU COULD GET RID OF ME.

in the immortal words of Toto, it's gonna take a lot to drag me away from youuuuu~

[kindoftrouble]

I will forever and always be a Novak/Andy girl but the way you write these two makes me wish they were my OTP. ♥ I was going to quote my favourite part but there are too many. But I positively adore the Bryans asking if they can vlog it, and Jamie and Andy being boys (because I flove Andy and Novak being idiotic friends above all else), and the press NOT BELIEVING THEM. And Djordje. I have a weakness for Djordje in all forms.

Anyway. It. Was. Brilliant. :)

[aramley]

Aww, thank you! That's such a lovely compliment :D Novak/Andy has really, really grown on me lately, and I love their friendship even if they aren't slashy. I blame meretricula for my new chronic Djordje thing, but he is SO ADORABLE and Novak is so adorable with him.

Thank youuuuu ♥♥♥

[kindoftrouble]

Djordje should be written into everything, because he is adorable and precious, and is like babyNovak but with manners. That kid is going to be a heartbreaker someday. So if meretricula is encouraging it, I will encourage more. :D

[aramley]

He certainly takes after Nole! Have you seen this picture? XD

[hypertwink]

As someone said above, delightful. And Djordje!!! Adorable...I love his americanized little heart. There are so many lines that I smiled at or gaped in awe. Like: Marian's answer is in Serbian, but his tone speaks the universal language of this is nothing to do with me.

i'll still love you even though you suck at tennis

That just made me go all gooey inside. So good.

[aramley]

Thank you so much! :)

[cagedlight]

This was so cute and just- just asfdfgfhkg. I have no words for how much I loved this. It was just *sigh*

The thing is, when Rafa thinks about marriage, he thinks about his parents'.

In the midst of all that cuteness and fluff, this made me stop and hurt for Rafa.

God, I wish I could comment properly but I have no words, you've melted my brain and for that I thank you.

[aramley]

Aww, thank you so much ♥
