ficlet: jeu décisif (tennis rpf)

[meretricula]

recs soon, I promise! in the meantime, I wrote a thing??? it's been a while, I'm not sure how this goes anymore. but god, only a monster could watch that gif of Rafa nuzzling Novak's shoulder after whatever Novak whispered in his ear and not feel inspired. (I have watched that gif... an alarming number of times now.)

I love this. It so dovetails into my personal canon about how it was okay to be boyfriends when Rafa was winning and Nole was the gracious loser (to him, not to Roger lol) but when 2011 came roaring through, Rafa couldn't handle it. Shades of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Anyway, my heart aches for them, Novak especially, but I do love how everything is not settled. Exacerbated by the drama of the US Open Final and the sheer public-ness of the situation.

Anyway, it matches my mood. As much as I'm happy that Rafa's back, Novak's my boy and I feel for him.
