I love the beginning...how it usually rains in Bilbao but doesn't snow. You have done some research! (I love doing research.)

And I love the idea that Andoni has never built a snowman

OMG, I don't even know what to say to feedback as wonderful as this. *blushes madly* Thank you so much for your kind words, I'm beyond thrilled that you liked this (despite the low rating), and that you thought it was perfect for the pairing. I usually imagine Javi with Fernando Llorente because there are several articles that say they're close in real life, so it was a challenge for me to imagine him with Andoni, but I must say that the fic pretty much wrote itself once I'd started! The guys interacted in my head, I practically just had to write everything down. I can imagine very well now why you love the pairing so much! :D

Thanks so much for the great prompt, and for requesting this pairing, because it made me realise how much fun it is to write about Athletic. I hope I'll be able to write a lot more about this amazing team. And I can't wait to read your Javi/Andoni fic! As I said, if there's anything I can help you with, don't hesitate to ask! :D

LOL. I'm glad you liked my feedback! Hmmm...Javi/Fernando Llorente is a hot pairing for sure! (I hope you will write that one too!)

OMG I can't believe I actually forgot to mention how I loved the way you included Iker Muniain in the story as well! You even had him making a nuisance of himself like I asked in the original (long) request! I love your inspired description of having him go outside to wait and throw snowballs at his teammates. It was hilarious.

[txorakeriak]

I'm definitely going to! But in the meantime, I can recommend this fic by sophiamoon if you're interested in the pairing. :D

Hehe, I just couldn't NOT include him after your long request! I just love the idea of him making mischief, and with your prompt of "snow", his role in the fic was set. XD Glad you liked it!

[txorakeriak]

*beams like a madman* :D It's so rewarding to have such loyal readers, and I consider myself very lucky indeed. There are no words for how thrilled I am that you read this despite not knowing about the characters, and - even more - that it worked for you and you could imagine them! That is high praise, and I really appreciate it. :D Thank you so much!

you write so well, it's so detailed that it's easy to imagine every scene. :D

[txorakeriak]

Wow, thank you so much! That is exactly what I was hoping for! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Now, if you had him readjust his hat, I'd have nothing bad to say about this.
I mean having a cold and reading about snow might not be the best of ideas. But this is too adorable not to read it... or to wait!
Big Awww<3

[txorakeriak]

Readjust his hat? The snowman? *is confused*

But yeah, I agree that reading a fic about snow when one is cold anyway is not a good idea, tsk tsk! Hope it was adorable enough to warm you up a bit, though! Couldn't live with the shame of having make you freeze to an ice cube... O__O ;)

I quote the most idiotic writer ever: Shall I compare thee to a summer's day, for though art not...

The midfielder re-adjusts his head and prepares his next volley

No, it was fluffy enough to warm me up in the end :D And Elf provided me with naughty PWP to do the rest ^^

[txorakeriak]

AHAHAHAHAHAH, oh my God, I can't believe nobody noticed that before! Thanks for noticing. *fixes stuff immediately* I think I need to re-adjust my head as well...

*FACEPALM*

(Good to hear it!)
