Set Me As A Seal Upon Your Heart, by dorkorific (nc-17)
hi! i'm yeats. i know that football rpf has been recced here before, but i'm here to rec stories specifically about real madrid fc, aka the best team, aka hot butts fc. some stories about these players have already shown up (here, here, and here), but i'm going to add my favorites to the mix.
our first stop!
Set Me as a Seal Upon Your Heart
Fandom: Real Madrid RPF
Pairing: Cristiano Ronaldo/Ricardo “Kaká” Leite
Length: 31,000 words

Why this must be read: this is quite possibly the best fic i've read all year, in any fandom. it's a great story for people who don't know anything about football. it's especially perfect around halloween: there are demons and priests and good and evil, but it's also realistic and not full of itself. if i had to pick a genre, i would call it urban demonology fantasy? (aka a genre i just made up.)
this story is just the whole package: it's funny, it's well-paced, it's got believable characters and a love story that feels really genuine despite the supernatural trappings. it's a story with a mystery at the center, but it's really about faith: faith in god, faith in other people, faith in oneself. also i should mention that there is sex which is hot like burning. you don't have to know anything about the two main characters beforehand, but they are really cute together irl (link to a pairing primer i made with the fic author) and the story keeps a lot of their real life dynamics while applying them to a totally new context.
excerpt:
“I don’t know what you are,” Ricky says. His voice is even. “But I know you’re a good person.”
“Come on,” Cris says, somewhere between exhaustion and annoyance and despair. “Neither of those things. Don’t be a sucker.”
He grazes the side of Ricky’s face with his bandaged knuckles, rubbing his thumb compulsively over the velvet curve of Ricky’s ear. It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t help to touch him. The lonely distance between them -- between him and everyone, sure, but this is worse than ever -- is unbearable. Cris’s throat hurts.
Ricky takes his wrist in warm fingers. Gently but firmly he pulls Cris in so close that Cris’s mouth presses against his neck; he wraps his other arm around Cris’s back. Cris tries to tense away from him, but Ricky’s grip is sure and his heartbeat is steady through the threadbare t-shirt and Cris needs to be touched like this so badly, has needed it for so long.
