I love this line: Sometimes Fernando dreams of thousands of hands, grabbing his shirt, his skin, his heart, pulling until he comes apart like fireworks over the Cibeles.

Oh, god, you got Fernando's dry, self-deprecating humour down pat. Maybe he won’t even make it back to the hotel, instead be directed to some shady alleyway and offed with a switchblade. Chelsea’s new signing doesn’t even last till the first match.

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDD

I love this. I don't know why, but clearly I was expecting sex cos it's a hooker fic, but the chemistry and the pace and the plot was just right, perfect for the two of them. Half the time I was Fernando panicking and incredulous and thinking why the fuck he would do something so risky before a big move, but the other half, I just wanted to get to know Juan. Oh, these two.

Thank you so much for my present! ♥

Lol I wanted it to be a different kind of hooker fic, aka I am bad at writing sex scenes and chickened out. Besides, Fernando would be the kind of guy who hires a hooker for the hell of it, only to not sleep with him right?

Also I've just wanted to write Hooker!fic for a long time, but everyone just assumes Fernando would be the hooker, so this is kind of a twist on that.

Hey maybe you'll write some Juanando soon too!

Aww, I loved this. It was beautiful. And sad. And funny. And heartwarming. How do you do that? Fernando was adorable, as always in your fics. It was unusual seeing Juan as a hooker, but you made him convincing in this role.

Chelsea’s new striker brutally runs over baby foxes. :DDD

I love your semi-AUs, how you play with the reality, leaving just a bit of the real world in your fics and creating the rest with such ease. This made me start wondering what if Nando left Atleti for Chelsea and not Liverpool...

I loved his inner struggle about bringing Juan to his room and how in the end he started playing with him and let him just stay there.

I hope you'll post the other two parts soon, I just can't wait to see these two again.

P.S. Every fic that has even just the name of David Luiz in it makes me weirdly happy :D

Every time I tell people I'm writing a Hooker!fic, everyone just assumes it'll be Nando as the hooker. I really wanted to switch it up a bit, because as pretty and boyish Fernando looks, I think Juan would be such a vulnerable pretty boy on the corner.

Yeah, I think every fic I've written, there's always been one person who's still the footballer. I think I need to branch out a bit XD.

Let's be real, if Nando actually hired a hooker, he'd probably be all dorky and think about what he was going to do with them. If I wanted someone to sleep with the hooker, I would've written Sergio or something!

No, I can totally see Juan as a hooker. (That sounds kind of wrong :D) I love when people switch up the roles typically assumed for characters.

It was only natural that Nando didn't sleep with him. After all he didn't really hire him, he was just being adorable :D Though Sergio probably would no matter what :D

JOHNNY KILLS, OMG WHAT AN EPIC TRANSLATION.

“Oh my god!” Juan startles. “Did you pick me up to be a drug mule? Is this a stolen car?” what does a drug mule mean? :O

“That’s fine.” Fernando smiles, his first genuine smile of the night, all dimples and freckles and crinkling of the eyes. It’s easy to see why the stadium always goes insane when he changes shirts after the game, even during away games. ofc, Nando is so pretttty.

the last line is so sweet! never watched Pretty Woman before, is it good?

P.S. does this take place when Fernando actually made his transfer?

never mind, see I basically skimmed over the beginning and now I read it again. Sometimes Fernando dreams of thousands of hands, grabbing his shirt, his skin, his heart, pulling until he comes apart like fireworks over the Cibeles. really like this line!
