Absolutely PERFECT !

This is exactly how I pictured if Luke would have met Reid first.

Every scene you have written in this fic I adored.
The couch scene was so amazing!

The way you wrote Reid was so Reid and haha I love that Noah not ever was interested in Mr. Scarf.

Oh and the talk between Holden and Luke was so perfect.
The man has so much wisdom. He really made Luke understand Noah is the guy for him.

and the talk between Lucinda and Noah was even better.
That woman is brilliant.

Luke and Noah will always find each other one way or another.

Thank you so much for writing this. It was perfect :)

Seriously, thank you so so much. For your words here and what you said on twitter, and everything. I really appreciate it!

And ha, the scene with Lucinda and Noah (not planned at all!) ended up being one of my favorites. Lucinda's just awesome, bottom line!

Thank you so so much, Judith!

This might sound weird but reading this fic Ella, feels like coming home.
I wasn't even aware how much I missed my Luke and Noah until I started reading. Not to say anything bad about other writers (all are amazing in their own way) but this story made me realise that you are still one of my favourite writers.
The way you understand the characters and how you make me understand them, the scenes your setting and the obvious love you put into your writing.
a big thank you for getting Luke to write and find himself again, for making Noah stand up for himself and grow into the wonderfull man that he is. And thank you for not forgetting about how important Holden is for Luke. ♥

aw, Esther, thank you!! That's an extremely wonderful thing to say (even if you spelled favorite in that weird, non-American way :P)! To be honest, this story made me remember why I love writing them too, at least angst-wise! I've missed writing some hardcore angst! This was fun :) Thank you so so much for your comment!!

[samson79]

I guess that's because I'm a weird non-American gal :P
and yes I do think we're due for another angsty (kidnapping? :P)but happy ending story....

OMG...I don't think there are enough adjectives to explain how much Ioved this story!!! Youmtook an interesting prompt and really ran with it. This read so true to the characters that it was so easy for me to hear all of the actors reciting your dialogue. I was so surprised that Noah started out this story blind. For some reason I wasn't expecting that. I really loved how you showed the problems with Luke's relationship with Reid as well as how he wasn't following his true passion in life. Luke and Noah falling in love was so sweet. The sex was so hot too. I'm happy that Noah's surgery was a success and that the boys got their happy ending.

Also Mason scarf references cracked me up!!!

[carolinablu85]

Yay, one of my favorite comments to get is that a reader can hear the actors saying the words! That's really really awesome, thank you so much! And ha, I think Noah was always going to be blind starting out, but I went back and forth for awhile on how long he'd been blind- since birth? just happened? But I settled on blind since the Luke/Noah story would have started. And seriously- so much fun. BlindNoah is awesome.

Mason:Scarf::Peanut Butter:Jelly ;) It can't be helped!

Thank you Dawn!!

Oh, this was absolutely, absolutely wonderful. I really loved the premise, and how Luke and Noah fell for each other - just gorgeous.

[carolinablu85]

Yay, thank you!! It was a really fun one to write, I'm glad you liked reading it! :)
