Why this must be read: You would think Twilight and tennis have nothing in common. I wanted to rec one or two fics involving the French guys, a clique all unto themselves, and this one works well with that as well. Novak has said in interview that Gilles looks like Edward Cullen (I seriously don’t see it). In the fic, Gilles has some downtime and decides, thanks to this comment, to read the Twilight series. The dreams intertwining Novak and the books work quite well, as does the teasing among the French players.
Excerpt:
“Why are you reading a girl book?” Jo says, leaning over the seat as they bus to Davis Cup practice.
Gilles blinks and extracts himself with difficulty from Edward and James and the ballet studio fight. “What?”
“I said, why are you reading a girl book?”
“Fuck you,” Gilles sighs. He bends the corner of his page over so as not to lose his place, because he has the feeling this could take a while. “Gael gave it to me.”
“Gael,” says Jo, turning to him with a look of disappointment that’s only half faked, “why did you give Gilles a girl book to read?”
“Because he asked me for it,” says Gael, with a look at Gilles that plainly says, if you think you’re dumping this on me, you can think again.
Gilles says, “Well, why did you have it in the first place?”
“My thirteen year old girl cousin left it in my bag,” says Gael, and then, “Hey, maybe you two would get along.”
