What can I say about this fic that hasn't already gushed out in a disgusting happy fashion alongside my brains and my heart? The crackishness doesn't detract in the least from the glorious insecurities and angst and the heartbreak of things just beginning (which they, shut up, totally are.) I love your prickly, needy little Gila, and Andrea as the wise, non-judgmental mentor-figure is just ... luscious. :D

‘Do you think it might be affecting your game?’ That was the first direct question Andrea asked him about the matter.

So spot on. Just like everything else about the fic. See, this is where it wins. So plausible, these words and characters and this trajectory. So excellent. Deserving of a Pope icon.

my fic wins but Milan doesn't; figures. and yeah, i've thanked you already but i must again.

mmm i think Andrea is all about direct questions generally. he doesn't babble much but when he does come out with something it's. no-nonsense. naturally i mean my version of! fanon! Andrea - i qualify because i don't get to see many other fanon versions, grr...

thank you, it's entirely possible there'll be more, if not sequelly stuff per se.

Andrea is just sexy fullstop!

Oh my God I want to cry but also, I adore you forever? Because you just wrote Alberto Gilardino/OMC, but it was all right because Rufus was just a vehicle for character development or something? /rationalizes

I especially love Andrea and Alberto's interaction: the kiss on the forehead (a benediction? a blessing?), I want you to be happy. Everything you leave us to assume, the way there's a meaning underneath all of your words.

OH

And: the way you created Rufus's character in the edges of Gila's observations and recollections, how he emerged as a distinct person of his own instead of just hands and a mouth.

Oh my beautiful Gila so beautifully written! I'm on vacation and can't be more lucid than that at the moment.
