Ships: (present) Fernando/Olalla, Sergio/Fernando, Stevie/Xabi, Bojan/Canales, Raúl/Guti (in the future) David/Iker
Disclaimer: Minus the Gladiator-esque themes, I own everything except for the footballers themselves. None of this happened and certainly none of them are actual royalty. Except probably Xabi.
Title blatantly stolen from the Muse song of the same name. Consider it the theme song.
Standing Note: Andalucía is a region of Spain, certainly not its own kingdom (or at least it hasn’t been for a good 500 years). Consider this an AU Spain in an AU world structure. I do not claim to know a thing about Andalusian culture, so again. AU AU AU.

Notes: A more plot-oriented chapter, as happens with this fic, but some necessary development and one part that actually made me cry, a bit. You know how I do. Enjoy! ♥

footballslash fic exchange.

I think it might be my favorite thing I've ever written, sorry Sernando.
That being said, happy holidays, my loves. I really really hope you enjoy reading this as much as I loved writing it. :) ♥

Notes: HI wow it’s been literally ages. It’s been a pretty busy past few months and writer’s block is a life-sucking leech. Luckily for those of you who still care about Knights, I just wrote a shit ton more during NaNoWriMo, so I have quite a few updates to last you for a few months. There will be more TCWR to come and some one-shots I’ve been working on for nigh on forever, but for now—some more Knights of Cydonia.
I hope there are people still out there who are reading this otherwise I’ll just feel silly! For those of you who missed the last update back in July because I posted it so close to the 4th, here’s a shameless link to the chapter! Thank you so much for reading and I will see everyone next week for the next update. ♥

Ships: (present) Fernando/Olalla, Sergio/Fernando, Stevie/Xabi, Raúl/Guti (in the future) David/Iker, Bojan/BB Serge, Cristiano/Kaká

Standing Note: Andalucía is a region of Spain, certainly not its own kingdom (or at least it hasn’t been for a good 500 years). Consider this an AU Spain in an AU world structure. Andalucía was chosen because of the presence of Cordoba within its boundaries and the historical connections Cordoba has to royalty/monarchy.

Notes: And now for your tri-monthly update of Knights. There isn’t much to say, except, again, I apologize for how far and in-between the chapters have been. It’s difficult to balance so many WIPs, ngl, but I haven’t abandoned this by a long shot.
Again, a pretty plot-heavy chapter, but as reward for getting through this chapter, we will (FINALLY) return to yr regularly-scheduled characters-and-gay-you-actually-care-abo

Notes: Wow, HI. Sorry for the extremely long wait for this chapter & KoC. Graduating sucked up a majority of my life for a while and then I was hit with a rather horrible, terrible, no good, very bad case of writer’s block.
Hopefully we’ve made a breakthrough with this chapter, but if not, hey, here’s an 12K+ chapter to tide you guys over for a while! trololololol.
Thank you for still reading & I hope you enjoy!! ♥
Also a HUGE thank you to
verses for helping me battle LJ in my attempts to post this against LJ's sinister will. ♥( “My favorite barista was there,” Xabi says conversationally as he hands Iker the extra Starbucks cup. “She felt the need to inform me that our entire firm fuels their sales for the entire year over the course of a month.” )
