Oh hell, retirement at 23. That first scene is so well done - it captures perfectly, I think, the bitterness that anyone would feel in that situation, and the affection between Berta and Ani. (The Xavi and Puyol analogy killed me. Gah.)

I love the relationship Ani has with the younger girls, I love how furious Berta is when she thinks Ani might actually retire, and I love their entire dynamic. ♥

(Hopefully Ani stays on at the club in some capacity? :DDD)

youuuu. haha will you kill me if I admit to sticking in the Xavi/Puyi analogy solely to tug the heartstrings of old-school cules? :P but it's a convenient short-hand, especially once I found out that Berta used to be a midfielder! maybe Xavi can follow in Berta's footsteps and become coach of one of the Catalunya junior squads after he retires~~~

I'm really glad you liked the fic, best of better halves! NOW FINISH YOURS I WANT TO READ MY PROMISED PEP/LUIS TRAGIC TRAINWRECK <33333

aww, I'm really glad you liked it! there is literally no one in English-speaking fandom who knows anything about this team, so the story had really better stand on its own XD

also I haven't talked to you in ages, I've missed you! how are you doing?
