And then: Fabio arched beneath him, the soft dark shadow of his eyelashes fluttering slow and then sudden camera shutter fast, the hitch in his breath and dip of his Adam's apple as Andrea presses their hips together, puts his mouth to Fabio's shoulder. This is just really gorgeous stuff in general. It's heartbreaking but extremely poetic. I'm not really sure how much I can go on and on about this but suffice to say it's really just terribly beautiful.
:-* Hey, thank you so much! I adore just about everything you've written, so, you know. My love for Gago&Higuain can be blamed 50% on you, no lie. I'm really glad you enjoyed this, AUs are the best ever.
aslkdjasdfl;kj! I converted someone to one of my absolute favourite pairings? My work in the football fandom is obviously quite effective. ;)
AUs make the world go round. This one's just very believable and ... I actually don't like Pirlo much, so you get a gold star for making me actually start to love him in this. I thought it would be impossible!
I can't deny it! Also, mostly I'm a sucker for Higuain. That smile. That hair. My heart, it bursts a little. ♥ And it doesn't hurt that your story was so wonderfully executed, you know.
Seriously, right? ...Unless they're genderswitch AUs, in which case I just weep profusely at my keyboard. Yes, someone requested it. ;_; Your lack of Pirlo love is sad! :( I adore him for his set pieces, for the hair (of course), and for his spoiled rich boy background. Oh, and for clinging to Cannavaro during those penalties.
Just for this I want to type up something that is very qwfkw;flak S U R LUV PLZ WRITE MORE GHEI ITALIANS LOLOLOLZ &TEXTSP33KINGFANGRRRRL; but that wouldn't be very funny, would it. : | *solemnly shot.*
but anyway, THIS IS LOVE. Pirlo alkjfalfk She wasn't particularly pretty, but she was fucking beautiful hit me like a punch to the gut. This feels quite delicate really, like the thin shadow ringing Pirlo's finger, except for moments that are like uurgh, desperate and hard and, the thoughts they can't verbalize, really quite gut-punching. See? This is your fuckwit feedback. However, every time I think of Pirlo now I think of the valium comment and burst out in laughter. alskfjsa.
Think that sums up your story as well, brutal but oh so beautiful. Love the angst, the romance, the way they are so wrong but so perfect for each other.
"It's not hope, but it's the distant possibility of it. It's not hope, but it's another night in a warm bed, another morning getting breakfast for two. It's not hope, but it's Fabio's mouth on his wrist, the lips stretching into a smile he can read without looking."
And the last line...broke my heart a little and made me smile.
Incredible AU! And what an imagination you have :) Hee, I've been sitting on the AU meme I have to write :P
Mind if I added u to my f-list? Hate to miss any more stuff you write :)
Oh, thank you so much! I liked that the ending made you both sad and happy, I'm fond of ambiguous endings.
All credit for the inspiration goes to canarycreams, though. Such a good prompt. And, of course not! I'm flattered, although I have to warn you that my fic posts are rather sporadic.

"Exactly what your mountainpeople said! (or will say, since I'm commenting before them. But they'll say really nice things, of course)"

By the way, have you seen this? IT's about the Liverpool boys

I want to laugh my head off but there's no one around me to enjoy the hilarity so I'm randomly posting the link :)
Friended! It's ok :) Sporadic is good too :)
