Why this must be read: When the most recent edition of NaNoWriMo went on, I admit I was fervently following this story.  While I know that most fic written in patches during that month tend to be trouble, I was already sold upon seeing this was an AU involving my favorite sport to play (bowling) and one of my favorite authors to read.  Was I ever happy I decided to follow this rather elaborate verse!

In this AU Fic, Novak is trudging aimlessly through life in Serbia when he inherits great wealth in a will.  He comes to America and finds out the crown jewel is a bowling alley that has seen better days, which he's pushed by his friend Ana to keep alive.  Andy (excuse me, Murray) prefers pretending to be mysterious as they quickly bond over a love of cartoons.

Yes, this fic does have femslash.  Even though I've focused on the guys during the month, there are also small segments of fandom involving het and femslash.  In particular Ana Ivanovic does pop up quite a bit even in the slash, thanks to her friendship with Novak in real life and often being called one of the most attractive female tennis players.
