Firstly, I love you for this:
f you read the story and didn't like it, I still would like to know (why), so it might help me improve in the future.
Not that I have anything to critique. :)

Secondly, Tell Me It's Not Over by Starsailor ft. Brandon Flowers? I love that song!

I absolutely love your details in this, like:
it has gotten so dark that he can hardly see the outlines of the furniture
a sad celebration of finding the second apartment key in the postbox

The whole fic is written really beautifully. Your descriptions are so vivid yet understated, and there's so much heartbreak but it's not shoved in the reader's face. Something in me withered a little when Steven walked into that locker room!
I love the ending, the way Daniel finally wakes up and sees the world around him again.

Thank you very much for your wonderful comment! I love your work so I'm really excited you took the time to read and review mine.
Sadly I myself often just do not comment fics that could need some improvement, I think I just don't want any drama because people are often used to only nice comments and with other writers I'm not sure whether they even want to vraiment improve.
'Tell Me It's Not over' is by Starsailor, but Brandon Flowers? Brandon Flowers? Brandon Flowers?! Has he worked with them? =O

Aw, thanks yourself, that's really kind. I loved your fic, so it wasn't any trouble at all!

Yeah, I don't dish out a lot of con-crit, because I don't know if many writers are open to it.
with other writers I'm not sure whether they even want to vraiment improve
Firstly, I totally agree. It's sad but it seems like there are a lot of writers out there who genuinely do not care about the standard of their writing. Secondly, Franglais win! The only form of French I speak. :)

Oh man, I keep on forgetting that Starsailor did the song on their ownsome first. :)
Brandon Flowers features in a remix (he's basically there to provide useless yet somehow thrilling backing vocals); I heard about it here when I was stalking Brandon haha. I've uploaded it for you here.

Anywho. You seem pretty rad, so I'm going to add you. Add me back? :)

Aaaaah =DD Of course! =DD
Thank you for the song! I love the original and I didn't that such a remix existed. It thrills me immensely right now to hear that I once did the same vocal part as Brandon while listening to it.
That reminds me of the time I tried to sneak into the Killers concert, and I think I might have even seen one of the band members talking on his mobile outside of the concert hall. He looked very 'killerish' and had such an VIP access pass around his neck, but I don't really know how the guys look, it's been ages since I've seen some pictures of them. But anyway, the security guy was already eying me suspiciously and I didn't want to push my luck (and sadly, none of my friends wanted to picnic with me in front of the back exit reading Kafka while waiting for Brandon to come out) *sighs*

That was really beautifully written.

Thank you ♥

Sadly, Dan kind of needs the separation from Nando to be able to get his life on the right track again..
Thank you very much for your comment, I'm glad you liked the story (it's my longest so far! uff!)!
And your icon! Dan + tattoo making machine(whatever it's called ;)) = PURE SEX.

Beautiful.
Loved the last lines. And just the whole fic was very well written.

Thank you! I was especially worried about the last paragraph because it suddenly seemed so unfitting in a slash football fiction like this. I guess I just was wondering a lot about how realistic it is for a professional football player to have that kind of deep depression.

i love the way you write, and the whole bittersweet feel of this. beautiful <3

Oh, Daniel, I just love the faces you make! *points to icons*
