haha excellent question! um, I think I jumped ships while writing it, to be honest. because I really did intend it to be a fedal fic, and then I got to the end and I was like, fuck this, Novak would be a way better boyfriend. XD which is good because I like writing Novak way better than I like writing Roger! I think I had noticed that Novak was not actually the bastard he is in fic by that point, because hello Rome trophy ceremony, but Rafa/Nole had not yet supplanted Rafa/Roger as my main tennis 'ship.
