The You and Me Song by halotolerant (Explicit)

Fandom: MEN'S PROFESSIONAL TENNIS RPS
Pairing: Novak Djokovic/Andy Murray
Length: ~20,000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] halotolerant
Author website: halotolerant on AO3
Why this must be read: You may have heard that something remarkable happened today in the world of tennis.  :)  Even though I've already recced this author this month, there was only one fic that could be recced today.  It had to incorporate both the fact that Djokovic and Murray had this big moment while the possibility of altering history.

"Wake Up Married" trope never looked so good in any fandom as it does in this story.  Something occurs the day before the 2012 US Open final and, instead of waking up to engage in the routines needed for this match, Novak finds himself in bed with his opponent, Andy.  Both of them are still in the mindset of playing the final in New York but they're in a run-down loft in England, they're not tennis players but they did have a big wedding.  As Novak tries to figure out what happens in their alternate reality, Andy begins to realize the close quarters would be his worst nightmare in their original reality.  The reader falls in love with this new world, one that actually would have made them both happy, then has a kicker in the end as to why this happened that is so ridiculously precious.
