I know its against all the rules and the fan base of this community, but right now I wish Luke would go to rehab and leave Reid alone with Greg. They seem good together. I have confidence however that you will convince me that Reid is a lost soul in a fish bowl like Luke.
I didn't mention it last chapter but I meant to say that "Wish You Were Here" is one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. The premise of this fic fits the song so well.
I wasn't clear in my writing...Luke had already been to rehab when he showed up at Reid and Greg's apartment at dinnertime. So, it had been a month or so since Reid had visited Luke in the hospital. I changed a few words to make it more clear. So, thank you for making me realize that

As for writing yourself into a conundrum I get that too. I'm finding writing a story based on weekly prompts rather interesting. I have to go back and re-read a lot so I don't contradict myself in the story.
Oh, I'm enjoying the hell out of this. Especially the awkwardness (because I'm a horrible person, obviously), but also feisty!Luke.
But if I'm really, really honest, I gotta say I hope they end up being friends here and nothing more. And not just because Greg seems like a good guy (and maybe I don't want to see him having his heart broken after all *lalala*), but because Luke could really use a friend, and I hope he focuses on getting better instead of possibly pinning a good chunk of his self-worth on whether other people like him again.
Well, I must be horrible too because I like awkwardness as well.
I'm surprised by the responses I'm getting about keeping Reid and Luke as friends. Usually if there is even the HINT of one of the boys being with someone else there is wailing and gnashing of teeth. I don't know what I'm going to do. I thought I had it sort of figured out in my head...I've been playing around with this story mentally for awhile, but now I don't know. I'm not sure I know how to write a happily ever after where they aren't together.
I already know that there will be some changes to the dynamic in the next chapter, but I have no plans to villify Greg in any way.
Luke is a feisty little bugger in this, isn't he? I wholeheartedly agree with you that Luke needs to get better and not concern himself with necessarily being with someone. He needs to focus on himself.
I am REALLY having mixed emotions about this one. I don't want to like Greg, but I do. I LOVE feisty Luke, but I'm not sure I want them to be anything other than friends, at least until Luke cleans up his act.
Oh, poor Luke is damaged, but a lot of it is his own doing. I'm not really sure where this fic will lead, but I can tell you that Reid won't coddle Luke. I think he's going to go a little tough love on him.
I know it doesn't sound very good but actually this is the first time I feel that Reid should remain with Greg and Luke should grow up and accept the consequences of his own choices. Great update!
