Congratulations on finishing the series :D It always takes an enormous amount of dedication to do so! *claps*

I like the ending as it is; not too heavy, and everybody being himself for one last time :) Also, I would like to thank you once more for writing Nolernie together =D It made this series all the more special to me :D

It's a little sad to see this wonderful AU fic go to rest, but I know that you have other stories planned, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for them :) AU fics are the best and I really enjoyed reading this one, so thank you very much for that!

While I knew there were issues that could have been addressed, I thought it'd be best to not deal with that. Glad you enjoyed it.

looks like Ernie enjoyed Novak the tour guide and Marat the promoter a little too much.;)

I'm amazed at your brilliant effort in managing to finish a series in 21 chapters :D Why can't I do that with ATPK XD

(I've been so sad about Ernie :/ I bet he only has about 21 fans left in the whole world *sobs*)

I have to be honest - I'm at the point where I will not watch a match of Ernie's unless I know the score in advance (not just him; I do that when Andy is in a rut as well). Not he must win but I was so utterly disgusted by a match I watched of his last year that I will not waste my time unless I see he at least cares. As a result, the only time I've seen him play this year was his loss to Raonic.

If by a comfortable ending you mean that the ending worked for you, I am happy to hear it.

I suppose fortunately for you that there are SP extras upcoming - and one of them is a lacosteslash alternate scene. After that, I do not know how you'll get your fix. :)

Thank you for reading :)

Congrats on finishing such a long series Kris! 21 chapters has to be up there as one of your longest works. It's been very enjoyable reading about all the boys as college students I love the MAndy/Rafa ending here.

*hugs!* YAY KRIS :D
Sorry for the late review busybusybusy with the semester!

It would be my longest in tennis fandom. Nowhere near the longest I've written (which is something like 40 chapters, although that counts a sequel).

Glad you liked the MAndy/Rafa ending because I was so stuck on that. Initially wanting them to be, as you put it earlier, the fucking twins then realizing with both their pasts (especially Andy's) maybe not. I practically said "Eureka" when Richie's last comment entered my head.

Thanks for reading. Hopefully, I'll get the extras up in the next few days (as an appetizer, I will say that one of them has the tentative title "When Rafa Met Andy").

only a few weeks to go, I assume? hang in there
