Hellooo!!

I just wanted to come over here and say that I just now finished reading your 'the greatest game' fic and let me tell you when I first saw the fic and then saw the tags and then the summary I had cheered SO LOUD!! I couldn't believe what I was seeing a drarry in tennis World fic?? And then i opened it and the "4 consecutive Wimbledon's" and then the "long cargo pants and sleeveless shirts" thing came and i thought A DRARRY AS FEDAL FIC ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Cause these are two of my biggest hyperfixations tennis (ofc fedal my favourite always) and drarry!! And then I saw not only was it based on fedal it was based on THE fedal era of Wimbledon finals from 2006-2008 i cannot tell you how much I was giggling this was like if someone had taken a look inside my brain and saw my biggest fantasies and combined them because that 2008 final quite literally changed my life, it was the match that made me start tennis and made me crazy over fedal for life 😭

This fic made me relive the entire experience and hype around fedal and their rivalry and their leadup to 2008 and the numerous tournaments before the way you WROTE the matches had me feeling anxious and excited as if I were actually watching them in real time again!! They were written so perfectly and the tennis lore and quips and references my god I loved them so!! Also you incorporated Rafa's traditions and quirks about the bottles so well I laughed so much at that reference it was so amazing and the not crossing lines reference too! And the Muller Weiss thing! You wrote that so well too it was making me feel so giddy with joy that you know fedal so so well and incorporated their traits and story so seamlessly into pre existing characters with their own personalities and actually made them feel like their own person instead of it just feeling like it's someone else's personality it still felt drarry even with fedal's story and that was sooo amazing ik I've rambled on and on but it just made my week and i HAD to gush over it!! It was so amazing thank you for making it! 😭🫶

Anon! Hello! I am so, so sorry it's taken me so long to respond to this. I really wanted to sit down and give this wonderful ask the proper time it deserves.

Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words. I've reread this more times than I can count. It's such an inexplicably heartwarming and exciting thing to be able to share my love for this sport and Drarry and Fedal and fanfic with someone who 100% gets it. I definitely put in a lot of research and read a bunch of different biographies for inspiration, and I'm so glad you were able to find it immersive! Also! The matches! I'm so glad you enjoyed them because I was definitely worried it might drag the pace of the story - so this is a really heartening thing to hear. I really did take all my love for Drarry and Fedal and mash them together and I am so, so grateful to you for reading it, picking up on it all, and coming back here to tell me about it. I appreciate this more than you know. Thank you <3
