Fic: It just might be enough (OTDavid)

Title: It just might be enough

Summary: “In many ways, Silva *is* still a kid, and that includes his complete and utter inability to be discreet. He’s still at that stage when he stares, gets caught, blushes, looks away, and still thinks he has got away unnoticed. And Villa is not blind.

He’s not a heartless monster, either.”

Warnings: Slash, ( Read more... )

After first reading I was so speechless that if you'd ask what's my name I won't be able to remember.
I needed to read it again to collect my thoughts and make my messy mind work again.
Oh my,I wish I could put into words how much I loved this.
You wrote them wonderful.
Every line is just right, as it always should be.
I'm putting this into my memories.

(and English is not my first language as well so I'm not so good at finding mistakes but I think here that he doesn’t having anything to give in return for this, should be doesn't have)

Wow, thank you for this comment... (and for that correction. You're right and I'm editing now!).

I'm glad you liked this... I'm usually very insecure about my fics, but if this was enough to leave you speechless, then yay!!!

Thanks for taking the time to comment... you totally made my day!

I know what you mean,I'm always nervous after posting something because I always thought I can't write.

I couldn't leave such wonderful fic without a comment.
(and I'm glad that it made your day,because your fic totally made mine^___^)

This was a really, really beautiful piece of fanfiction. It's been a while since I read footballslash, but I was very tempted by the summary, and I don't regret, it was really worth it.
A great, great piece. I just love your Villa. And my favourite part? Villa mention Real and Raul, oh I almost laughed. ;D It was perfect.

Great job. <3

I'm glad to think I've lured back into the wonderful world of footballslash...

I'm usually not good with summaries (that's why my fics are usually over 2,000 words), so I decided the easiest thing was to find a good quote... I'm glad to see it worked!

Oh, and that mention of Raúl and Real, it was just me, channeling my thoughts into bitchy!Villa... but I'm glad it made you laugh!

Thank you for your comment!

i can even start to say how perfect this is. the poetry inside this fic. the deepness, the heart. and how you wrote those two.

i loveeeee silva and villa. i can not even start to say how much, and one of the things that made me feel in love with this fic,was the way you wrote them. like they´re the opposite of each other. and i always love that in those two. how different they are. one is so kind, the other one is so hidden in his one self. they are like black and white. different, but somehow part of each other. so connect with each other.

well.. there so many amazing things here that i could say. but i just don´t feel that words can match my admiration for this.i tried to write a comment for like three times, but like i said words don´t match how i feel. so i just will say that i hope to read more about those two, because with your talent you should write more of them!
:))

I REALLY love it!! PERFECT!!!
thanks for sharing!

Thank you.

I'm a bit taken aback at your wonderful comment. I try, so hard, to get across the way I feel about some of these pairings, some of these situations, and sometimes I despair of ever getting my thoughts across... but, well, it seems this time I almost got there!

And yes, you're right, one thing I love about the Villa/Silva is exactly that meeting of opposites, that contrast that can end up so well... or so badly, too.

I'll try to write more of them, then, when I'm inspired...

Once again, thank you for your amazing comment.

I really like this! Your writing, how they are around each other, Villa's reluctance, the awkwardness, the silences, everything that is not said... this is gorgeous.

And you made me realise that there's indeed only 4 years separating them... I had never think of that and while it's the stupidest thing ever to say, I can't believe it.

And however much Silva’s insistence in seeing only the sunny side of life annoys Villa at times, he is man enough to admit he likes it and wouldn’t like it to be tarnished by anything. And, in ‘anything’, Villa is including himself. He doesn’t want to see Silva’s brightness dimmed by anything having to do with Villa. He keeps away for that reason, and for that reason, perversely, Silva seems to like him.

Thank you, thank you, thank you...

This was an awkward fic to write, with lots of pauses staring at the computer screen and sudden bouts of frantic writing, and I think that is reflected in the dialogue... and I'm glad it did, because it feels a bit more realistic this way.

And you made me realise that there's indeed only 4 years separating them...
Yes, when I was doing my research for this fic, I had to check twice the age difference... Villa feels like a much older man than Silva, and since age alone can't explain that, I had to try and work out why!

I'm glad you liked this and thanks for taking the time to comment.

Thank you for your comment.

I wrote this, in part, as a way to feel better about a lot of things (most of them football-related, but not all). I'm a Barça fan, but I have a soft spot for Valencia, and their situation right now leaves me frustrated and all kinds of upset... so I sat down and I wrote this and I felt a little better.

I'm glad it worked for you too!!!
