Novak was asked if he saw the videos comparing Carlos's new serve to his 😭

As soon as I saw it, I sent him a message. I said, we have to speak about the copyrights. Then when I saw him here, I told him we have to talk about percentage of his winnings. Every ace, I expect a tribute to me. Every ace that he makes here. So let's see if he's going to stick to the agreement.

stray observation i found the other day in my gdocs... wish i could remember the point i was trying to make with it.

i would like to deviate from the norm and request for some novaklitos djokaraz esp with the whole ao final but idk if you like them like that so…….. 😖😖😖😖

i've been thinking about this prompt ever since i got it. i'm not a djokoraz shipper by trade, but the ao final was certainly compelling, fic-wise. specifically... the cursed winner's room fic haunted by jannik's invisible presence lol.

idk if i will ever finish this fic but here is a tiny little snippet.

"Were you such a gentlemen with him, too?" Novak's voice is amused, half-mocking and completely incongruous with the look in his eyes. "Declining to take advantage. Did you just sit quietly in the room until time was up? You weren't tempted to put him on his knees, even after that Roland-Garros final?"

The pulse of anger that goes through Carlos must show on his face; Novak laughs, salt in the wound. Carlos doesn't want to think about Paris, or London, or New York. This is Melbourne, and he'd won against fucking Novak Djokovic. It should have been enough. Of course it isn't enough for Novak. Always another game, another point to be scored. The clock on the wall ticks: fifty-four minutes to the hour.

Carlos doesn't move. Novak unzips the windbreaker he's wearing, moisture-wicking material slithering from his shoulders and falling to the floor with a hiss. 

"I can't tell you what to do, of course," Novak says lightly. No demands. No objections. No right to refuse the victor, once the door has shut. "But I can tell you that it always means something. It marks you, whether you acknowledge it or not. Whether you do anything or not. So." The edge in his gaze could cut diamond, much less Carlos' paper-thin facade. Novak's voice drops to a whisper, turning almost sweet, "Why don't you tell me what you want?"

Carlos feels his chest caving, lungs working with no air drawing in, because Novak had said the last part in perfect Italian.

i know djokoraz semi is scary, guys, but to me it‘s like…. if you really want carlos to win this, it‘s time. having novak in jannik‘s half wouldn‘t feel right, because if carlos wants to take this crown from jannik, it‘s only right that he faces the trials and tribulations of a djokoraz match on the way there and proves himself, in a way.
