Hmmm. I wonder if they'll ever get off the island, at this rate. I know they would survive well enough, but I think it would still be so sad for them, to be thought dead of by the world, to never enjoy sandwiches or novels ever again. I wonder who is fighting for a claim to Luke's fortune right now? So many irrelevant questions...

I imagine they'll get off the island. I doubt that Luke will ever remember, though. Twenty-one days seems like such a long time, for some reason. But there's so much good to that, because Luke will fall in love with Reid a second time (already is!) and I wonder if Reid will see that as the compliment it kind of is, or as proof of how right for each other they are. Although I wish Reid would unburden himself from holding back some of the memories he has... it's as though he doesn't want to explain them because he's stubbornly holding out that Luke will remember and he won't need to. But that might not happen.

Reid smiles weakly, and turns away, digging into a coconut with his pocket knife just to give

Although, ack, forgot to put this in the first comment: beta-wise, Luke and Reid would have spent their first Thanksgiving together in the hospital, not in hospital. Oh you totally different from the ENTIRE REST OF THE WORLD Americanisms. ;) I don't know why we just don't make the switch to what everyone else says.

Hee! Thank you, bb! I'll fix! And yeah, while you're at it, switch to the metric system too kthx. :P

So many irrelevant questions...

That made me LOL! :D

And then Reid apologized. Nothing like Noah after all! :)

Reid is the anti-Noah. Thank god! Thank you for the feedback, bb! I'm so happy you're enjoying it! There are five chapters all up, so just one more after today's.

OMG you're killing me with this fabulous fic

[_alicesprings]

Hee! Ninja!Reid! Love that! :D

And Reid making yoga sexy without even trying. He makes everything sexy without even trying! *dreamy sigh*

Thank you so much for the delightful feedback! Made my day! I'm so glad you're enjoying the slow reveal about the accident. You should get your answers in chapter 4. :)

I think you are doing an amazing job by being so true to 2010!Luke and married!Reid. They are in two different places and you're just conveying this so so convincingly and realistically. They are suffering in very different ways and both fearing that Luke may never overcome the amnesia

Thank you SO much! I'm thrilled you're enjoying the ride! :)

PS. again ;)

I love that we're getting snippets from Lure post-Dallas from Reid's perspective. It's great to hear him answer Luke's questions and tell him things about their past (as well as his own). Even though it´s always coupled with a pang of loss, I am really enjoying Reid´s reveals.

And I like that Luke is beginning to acknowledge that something was brewing between them pre-Dallas. Let´s fact it, there was lots of eye-sexing going on and slamming Reid into the wall at the police station. Oh yeah.

I´m also wondering since they are sleeping in extremely tight quarters, the tiny lean to, if their bodies will not betray them in the night and end up all tangled together.

Anyhow. Enough said. :)

Anyhow. Enough said. :)

Pfft! Please do feel free to talk about my fic ad nauseum. :P

Thank you! I love that you're thinking about it so much! :)

It's getting harder and harder for Luke to resist Reid and eventually he is going to burst. Also I have a feeling Reid actually is aware of Luke's little sneaking around to watch him shower and relishes that even with amnesia his body is aware he still wants him, the brain is really an amazing thing.

Great chapter
