Why this must be read:

This was one of the first fics written about this pairing, which has since become one of the most popular in the fandom. So nowadays we're drowning in Messilla, as the portmanteau goes, but when I first read this I really had to be convinced - and convinced I was. The development of the relationship works beautifully, and the background ensemble is even better. The little snapshots of their teammates make me so happy (there's this one scene where Villa is teasing Andres and oh, my heart, I love them so much) and the more in-depth portraits of Leo's relationship with Pique and Pep respectively are so awesome, I don't even know what else to say.
