3. Pepe. Xabi had basically told him, the night after the FA Cup final. Pepe was pretty hammered by that point, but he's almost positive that Xabi wasn't.

why do i love this idea so much?

why do i get the feeling Xabi likes calculated disasters?

your writing is one of the few things that can light up my whole day -no matter how shitty it could get.

[windsor]

and why do you make my days better just by being the awesome, awesome person that you are? ♥ anyway, i hope your day wasn't shitty, and if it was, you know. love.

i bet he likes watching them unfold before they even do. and then there's the whole issue of resolving them.

although, tbh, pepe was included in the meme purely because the two of them are kind of adorable together. and, uh, because i had just seen a picture of them walking to spanish training together with matching manpurses. lmao.

it kind of gives him the feeling of control -running into concrete walls by his own decision.

oh they are. i think pepe is adorable with anyone, he is just ♥

cesc! fandom has stolen my brain for its own nefarious purposes.

oh totally. the more i think about it, the more i think that xabi is really not quite as perfectly mature, reasonable, wise, etc. as fandom makes him out to be sometimes. i've always gotten the feeling that he's got a certain streak of something in him; you don't pass like that or score goals from sixty yards by being a logical, conservative person, do you.

I WAS SO TIRED. NOW I AM LESS SO.

A+ thanks for waking me up.

all credit to canna's dazzling, if completely manic, grin!

if you see a massive keyboard mash in this comment or a later one, it will be because i've dropped dead unconscious on my keyboard. academia rules.

I sometimes want whatever Canna is on...he is always radiating joy. :D
"Jamie had thought oh god and please be smarter about this and I know you won't be, so at least don't fuck up again, he doesn't deserve that."...I love this. I sometimes wish someone would write a Stevie/Xabi fic from Carra's POV. it wuld be interesting, because Carra has always been there, through Stevie's ups and downs, and he knows Stevie in a way others don't.

[windsor]

It was taken after the Germany semifinal, so I guess he's got a reason for looking so pleased! (...While Pirlo lurks menacingly in the background. :x)

I find Carra far too intimidating to take on. Also, he's a bit of a legend and, um, it just feels weird. Someone with better ability than me should try it, but I don't think I'd be able to!

Get him really, really drunk in some shithole of a bar that doesn't have seventeen types of whiskey or crystal glasses. The boy's gotta slum it sometime.

Hee! Where in Italy does Pirlo come from? I know Canna is Neapolitan, so if Pirlo's a Northern boy, there's a lovely class divide for ficspiration.

I think Didi knows everything. And I bet everyone still calls him (drunk, probably) to talk and give advice. :D

And Carra hates it when Stevie falls in love with everyone cos he knows that Stebvie is useless when he mopes. Now there won't be Mikey to help, Carra will have to lug him around.

[windsor]

Pirlo was born in Brescia to a wealthy family, so, YES to class tensions! You and niche are psychic, she brought that up to me when we first started talking about them during the WC.

I love Didi! I wish he was still with us, but. Football.

Stevie is so moody; he needs to get out of whatever mood is posessing him at the moment! Pls let tomorrow's match be good.

Your reasons Kaka/Shev pwned me

[windsor]

thanks! those two are killer.
