My Stardust Melody, Chapter 30, Part 2

Oct 14, 2012 20:59

The sound of an ice machine in the hall woke Luke. Slowly, he opened his eyes, the weight of his lids feeling unusually heavy. He looked at his hand first and saw the IV attached, reminding him that he was in the hospital. He strained to remember the fire for the umpteenth time and still he found nothing. Everything went black ( Read more... )

Thank you, Ms. Keg.

Well, I never said I didn't have anything left in my angst-bucket. I think I have reserves left of that (but they're diminishing greatly).

Ohhh this is soooo good!
I can not wait for Luke to find out how Reid hurt his hands!
Any idea when you're going to post the next chapter? I'm greedy! :D

Thank you! I' m crossing my fingers that it will be next week. I've got an extremely rough draft at the moment that needs A LOT of work. Unfortunately, this week is stacked against me in terms of having free time, but I'm remaining stubbornly optimistic.

Very, very enjoyable chapters! I mean, not that I enjoy both their agony, but it's nice to see that actions do have consequences. So Reid eating crow is one of my favorite things about this. And it's nice that he's being classy and not pulling the "I saved your life" card. I'm looking forward to seeing how Luke finds out that little fact. :)

The crow-eating has been one of favorite parts as well--I hate it when characters get away with doing crap just because we happen to like those characters. And Reid definitely screw up here...

Luke finds out that little tidbit soon!

Thank you!

Wonderful update! Luke has good reason to be wary of Reid's intentions, but at least we know Reid is sincere. For him to share his story about his mom leaving him for days was HUGE.

I'm sure we will learn more about the state of Reid's hands in good time. Somehow I think learning that Reid risked his career for Luke's life will go a long way toward healing.

Many comments ago I said something about hoping you had your mop ready to clean up the mess. I think the mop bucket is now out of the closet.

Great work as always. I love this story.

It was a big moment for Reid to share that story with Luke, and I think Luke will have some opportunity to reflect on just how huge at a later time.

Yes, the mop is out (along with my industrial power-washer). I think it can't hurt that Reid saved Luke's life and risked his career without hesitation.

Thank you so much for your kind comments!!!

Fantastic chapter! Reid trusts Luke--I like that. And maybe little by little, Luke can begin to trust Reid. Inner conflicts are always a treat to read and you write them so well. We can really understand both men's actions. They've each been through a lot; that's why I really,really hope they can heal together and repair their relationship. "Friends" is a good way to start.:)

Thank you! I apologize for not responding to this comment earlier. Yes, Reid trusts Luke, which is a huge moment for poor Reid. I think the fact that they have both been through so much may be part of what makes them understand each other and draws them together. Friendship is never a bad way to start.
