Part 2

Alonso Sr. really was at the Monaco game. The rest is pretty much crack.

This is great! I'm really looking forward to seeing where you take it. <3

Me too, all too kind reader, me too. J/K. Somewhat... I wrote already what I think is the very last scene, now I just have to fill up the rest of the chapters. I'm enjoying it as a distraction from work, so I might actually be productive. Thanks for commenting!

Very cute ending. Stevie's silly grin inflicted by Xabi. :P

I'm trying really hard not to go overboard with the DRAMA because it's not like I need any more LFC heartbreak so... like in life, there'll be moments where this story is purely silly and just for laughs.

Thanks for reading, I'm glad you like it.

We’ll have to figure out what a director of football does eventually. Frankly, I want to know, too. :) Well, I have some idea by now, but I'm looking forward to PoliticsBullshit!G... Xabi in full on mode! He's so made for it. :) I love how you alternate between sentimental and humorous, curt and tender, all in subtle nuances. It's funny and it's touching and it makes me think (which, yeah, I don't particularly like to do, but art is art and I'm sure this story will make me cry at some point, too). Can't say that about many fanfics...

You're not the only one.

The exact nature of the role is often unclear and extremely variable and causes much debate in the sports media.

Thanks a fucking lot, Wikipedia... Most frustrating research experience yet, so I just thought fuck it, let's turn it into a meta joke.

You're so wonderfully observant, it's actually fun to watch you reading this! :) Thank you, that mood swinging is intentional, it's just what sounds true to the characters in my head. I think I'll work on editing some more at work tonight... ;)

Omg yay!! I hate that I only just saw this!
Great chapter! Had me smiling the whole time, which is SO nice after a long day at work lol

Lol nice

I'm so excited Xabi's moving back and will be working with Stevie!! Can't wait for the next chapter ;D

Hello, enthusiastic reader! :) I write this to keep my sanity at work so I feel you... New chapter at some point this weekend.

Apparently nobody really knows what a director of football really does so I've decided he'll do whatever the hell I want him to do, which is mostly going to be: standing in a corner, brooding and looking inhumanly fuckable while he's at it. Done!
