I really enjoy how you write this, it's like I'm actually in Reid's head. It really makes me feel nervous, like I too am so invested in what happens to Luke.
I like the fact that he has to control himself so much around Luke. It seems as though he's always on the brink of overstepping, of showing too much.
I really love the depth in which you get with Reid. You could have just passed it off in a paragraph, of Reid was doing research, becoming an expert, what he learned and contacting Luke’s nephrologist, but you didn’t. You focus on each piece of research, all the steps Reid is taking and then showing us some glimpses of what it means to him. Luke is hurt, he could die and that’s affecting Reid in a way I don’t know that we’ve seen before (in this fic).
I really loved the lead from Does he suspect? to Is he feeling it too? b/c I know what I want it to mean, but I’m not sure we’re there yet, either. And Luke all sick and then I think almost flirty in a way. Although that was kind of them. They had the whole eye-sex thing down even when they found each other so annoying.
And this line: Luke held Reid’s gaze, his expression a muddied mix of tentative and searching. Is so utterly brilliant, I almost want to steal it.
I have to agree with everything that’s been posted here. Utterly brilliant and love the trip to Reid’s mind.
What would I do without you? Thanks for your support as I swim around his psyche. (note my restraint in avoiding 'plumb his depths,' 'explore his caves,' 'crawl around his cavern,' etc.)
And it's amazing how a little global brain malfunctioning can bring out the eye-sex.
Finally. I can finally comment on this. I read it yesterday morning, the second I saw that you'd posted, but, throughout the day, I just couldn't find the time to comment to tell you how much I adored the chapter.
So, I loved it. I think this is my favorite chapter so far. I loved being in Reid's head, as he thought of losing Luke and I loved their interactions, as Reid started letting his guard down just a little, calling him Luke and looking at him with clear, open eyes.
Luke’s eyes widened playfully. “Is this the afterlife? Did I make it to heaven? Oh my g…Dr. Oliver, have you been telling the truth all this time? Are you…are you actually God?”
A smile slipped through. “How I hate to disillusion you, but you are very much alive - and very much still in Oakhell.”
“But you’re very much still a god, right?”
“In this and every reality.”
“Good to know I have a constant.” Still grinning, Luke’s eyes narrowed. “Wait…so then why did you call me Luke?” This bit right here is awesome.
Luke slowly smiled. A small but distinct spark

And suzvoy's 'As the Wheel Spins' is a work of perfect beauty. Best use of a hand-injury EVER.
