oh no :( the ending is so great, it really does justice to the whole fic, lovely written.

loved it so much, it really depicts their whole relationship. and it's heartbreaking to know that things like this cut a relationship short and kill it.

love remains, but not the rest.

great job :D

love remains, but not the rest. i think that sums it up so well.

thanks for your lovely comment :)

Oh god. :'(

This is so - I can't. :( I can only tear up at this. Poor Xabi (poor Stevie).

and he thinks, I always put too much in.

I love how you made them switch off the light (I bet they're both thinking about someone else, however much it pains me to say this).

Out loud he says, says, says, ‘I am leaving you.’

This is almost worse than Xabi leaving in a football way.

thank you for your wonderful comment. :)

in a way, i was trying to (very loosely) to parallel what happened in the football world with this story.

Ouch. That really hurt.

This was some beautiful writing. The words and emotions just flowed beautifully. And you very successfully broke my heart. I guess sometimes love just isn't enough.

thank you for your lovely comment.

those two together are indeed heatbreakers.
