oooohhhh, this fic really grabbed my interest! I love how this story has all these various sub stories to it, and i cannot wait to read the following chapters.
i just hope you plan on having sergio and nandito to reunite at the end of this because i don't want to deal with the feels if they do not. i need my otp to end up together so that i can deal with life. lol

anyway, i hope to see your next update in the very near future :3

I haven't written the ending yet, I don't know what I'm going to do really. Realistically, I'm having a hard time putting them together again after they've grown apart. But we'll see when I do write it.

[bumpbear]

love it so far, excited to see the media part of it. and if you need a beta let me know!

[shangrilove]

i do need a beta!!! are you volunteering? my english is pretty choppy, and most of it will probably be grammar fixes. thanks!

[bumpbear]

yeah i'll beta for you!

[shangrilove]

Kay, how would you like to do this? Should I email you chapters?

I'm so glad to read it's going to be a long fic, because this is a very good start and I already see myself becoming addicted to it.

[shangrilove]

Thanks! Yeah the length kind of is spiraling out of control, most of it is on Nando's life in Liverpool and Stevie/Xabi being parents though, not much Sergio going on.

I take it all back, it reads really well right now, I dunno if it's cos it's on the printed page now and not in my inbox, but I love the slow unfolding of the story. ♥

And the second paragraph has always been my favorite, but added to the first, ugh I love --

The only thing that disrupts the carefully scheduled life he has sets up are these triggers Sergio has. There are no patterns to them, these sudden bouts of incredible loneliness and a chest pain that can’t be explained medically. Anything can set them off, no matter how minor, sometimes he can’t even explain it. The way a customer’s brown eyes crinkle in the sunlight, a new trainer at the gym with freckled cheeks, or even walking by a local park and seeing a group of kids kicking around a ball. Whatever it is, the result is always the same

WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH DANNY?

It's obvious Danny's going to play a big part, but I'm not sure what. The straight best friend? The experimental possibly gay teammate? The jerk in the locker room who always riles up Nando? The possibilities are endless.

[jumping_down]

Mmm, experimental, possibly gay teammate sounds delish. 8D Like Nando is all shy and doesn't want to go out of bounds in his new team so he pretends to be straight and all, and then BAM they start to get attracted to each other and rediscover... things.

[shangrilove]

I don't knooooow. This was supposed to be a serious comingout!fic, and I really wanted Nando to be true to himself you know? Pretending to be straight probably doesn't work too well when he has two gay dads. :P. OMG Xabi/Stevie is so hard to write. I miss them. ._______.

[dld_ftw]

Fascinating start! Looking forward to more.

[shangrilove]

Thanks for reading. There's a surprise coming up for you in the 4th chapter or so. :P You'll see what I'm talking about.

PS. I posted the bit where Sergio and Fernando go to NYC if you haven't read it yet.

[dld_ftw]

Oh fantastic! I totally missed that. Really looking forward to reading it.
