This has so many intense feelings. I love it, and I was a little angry at the city boys for making such stupid comments - but I suppose they were harmless and from Dahveed's POV it could've sounded like a vicious comment... but I'm believing it wasn't =) I loved it, the struggle and the kisses and my god! the phone calls to Stevie G, and the way he single-handedly helped Stevie and Xabi patch things up *sigh* ♥ This was an amazing story!!! ♥
this was all set during Silva's first season at City (2010-11) i wonder why you only posted this now cos this is sooo PERFECT!..
reading this made me re-live that first season of his at City, how everybody around him have no idea how the transfer is gonna turn out, and the bleeding hearts of the Silvilla fanatics cos of the their separation
idk but this is just beautiful in a full of heartaches and intense raw emotions kind of way..I LOVE THIS! i enjoyed reading every single thing, there's just something so sweet and "love-the-way-it-hurts" about Silva and Villa..lol..i like how they simply know each other by heart that their bond and connection will never be gone
good job on this!
PS. i also pronounce it as Aston Veeyah too..lol..weird me
Dude, you don't even know how much I've been waiting for a fic exactly like this. I loved that interview with Émery, and the topic fascinates me - who is gay, who knows, how do they react, all those things - so I was ridiculously happy when I realised that this fic is about this exactly. I loved how varied the teammates' reactions are, the contrast between the Valencia locker room atmosphere and the one at City is just so perfect, and also the contrast between the two managers (Émery expecting Silva to talk about everything and Mancini more or less wanting to stay as ignorant as possible about private stuff), and I loved the phone calls between Silva and Stevie (and how carefully Stevie chose his words in the second one, it nearly killed me). And the little details, like the ColaCao importing (I do that too XD), and Xabi needing a cigarette when he's nervous (and OMG THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION BETWEEN THEM - I still ship them SO MUCH), and the abundance of chips and mushy peas (dude, is there any dish in England that does not come with
( ... )
DID I NOT REPLY TO THIS? i'm an ass, i am so sorry!!! i think it's one of those things where i read it at night and told myself i'd reply in the morning and DIDN'T. but eeeeeeee, thank you so much! :D yes, the topic fascinates me, too- because i really wanted to explore different atmospheres and different reactions and how someone like silva would feel in those different environments. I LOVE EMERY he totally would expect you to tell him everything and then awkwardly father you trolololo.
writing stevie was so hard, so i'm glad you liked it! forcing someone who doesn't like talking about feelings to talk about feelings was a challenge. and YES when i went to england i was just like WHUT ARE ALL OF YOU SAYING.
thanks for the corrections when i am on my own laptop shall fix them right away!! and archive it wherever you want, sure! :D i am honoured! i shall, again, get on making an account as soon as i am on my own laptop :))
ok wow ok i'm trying to gather my thoughts to give you a comment that is worthy of this PIECE OF BRILLIANCE but i honestly don't think i'll be able to right now, so just. this is fucking exquisite. i honestly have no words for just how brilliantly you not only characterized them but how you intertwined the stories and just. wow. wow ok. and like -- i'm a HUGE s/x elitist and i RARELY read anyone's anymore ha ha hahahahahahhahahh ha ha but like. wow. wow this is a fucking beauty. and like, your villa/silva like. WOW. ok. hALKDHSAFHAHhahhalkfhahfdhaha i'm emotional OK. you're just simply an amazing writer. idk what else to say ahahha omg.
because the only thing David Villa was truly a natural at, was being able to do whatever it took to do anything, and that was a blessing and a curse and Silva’s biggest weakness right now. honestly, just.
“You know my post-match insomnia,” smiles Xabi ruefully, and there’s something that links the curl of his lips straight to Stevie’s voice, which catches.hahahahahahah i want to cry
( ... )
AHHHH girl your comments are just the NICEST they really are the highlight of my day. i'm SOSOSO glad you liked it+ approved of the characterization (stevie is such a hard character to characterize, literally and figuratively lolol). you also quoted some of my favourite lines to write, that makes me squeal with writerly glee! :D
mind if i friend you? dv/ds and s/x, you clearly have the best taste, hehe.
