A million years ago, this was a request from pun, who wanted Derek Jeter/Alex Rodriguez goofing around on an off day before a home stand. (So, in NYC.)

Um, did you just make me go 'Awwwwwwwwww!' over A-Rod and Jeter? I mean, I don't hate the Yankees or anything, but I never imagined I'd want to draw big shiny hearts around these two. I really liked this, though. It works as friendship fic, it works as friendship-but-something-more-possibly fic. Nice.

[americanleaguer]

Ha, well, I do hate the Yankees and I kind of hated myself for adding to the mass of A-Rod/Jeter fic out there, but I am going to finish these requests, goddammit! Anyways, they're so OTP/life-partner-bff-y in real life, they're actually pretty easy to write that way... probably that's part of why that huge mass of A-Rod/Jeter fic exists.

That was amazing... I felt as if I was really there in the room. A small otherworldly bubble for only them...

Lovely use of language... perfectly paced.

Am now going to read again and again... thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you!

A small otherworldly bubble for only them

Yes, exactly. I started the fic trying to think of all the things I do when I have a free day in NYC, and then I tried to guess how that would go for someone like Derek Jeter... somehow couldn't see him just wandering a museum or whatever and being left alone, you know? So they kind of need that bubble, at this point in their careers...

omg awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. that was so freaking cute. thanks for sharing!

[americanleaguer]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Ahhh, I like thinking about them like this. Even with years in New York and all the media-stirred craziness, that the two of them would still have this playful brother-like relationship, way too comfortable with each other. And the implied sex too, that doesn't hurt ^_^

I always love how detailed your fics are. All these little things, like Derek flicking Alex's toes, the inside of his mouth being like a puppy's, the reasoning for only carrying $50 bills. Makes everything feel more believable - all these little quirks that make them more human.

Thanks for sharing!

[americanleaguer]

Thanks! I think here the playful etc. relationship is kind of their buffer from all the media-stirred craziness. ;)

Ha, I don't know, they're so... established? in their togetherness, it made the adorable not that hard to write. Glad you enjoyed it!
