This Bitch of a Country by Rave (NC-17)

Fandom: FOOTBALL (SOCCER) RPF
Pairing: Steven Gerrard/Xabi Alonso
Length: ~9000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] dorkorific
Author Website: fic tag
Why this must be read: if football RPF can be said to have an OTP, it's Stevie/Xabi. When they've both retired, I suspect we'll still be reading new stories about their tragic fated love. This fic gets that, gets the whole tragic fated thing, and it's also fantastically funny in a sort of bittersweet way and really just a wonderful read.
