Nope, I didn't drop off the face of the planet--in case you were worried
Hey all,
So...I've been away for over a month. Sorry! Every manner of thing that could go wrong seems to have happened in the
interim. Nothing too dire, but just lots illness and other stuff no one wants to deal with. In any event, I should be posting a new chapter of My Stardust Melody this week. It's already been through lemondrop and is in ( Read more... ) -
My Stardust Melody, Chapter 33
Thus far, New Year's Eve was much like the previous day. Reid brought Luke some coffee and doughnuts in the morning, a mile-high sandwich at lunch, and then a plate of spaghetti with meat sauce for dinner. Conversations with Luke had been a little less awkward but brief. Reid had been tempted to bring up some of the concerns Maddie had, but ( Read more... ) -
Just a little note from me
Happy holidays, everyone! Just a little heads up that I'm going to try to post another chapter of My Stardust Melody this month. With the busyness of the season, it's hard to find time to write--not to mention that it's hard for my betas to find time to beta, too. So...if there's a bit of lag, I apologize ( Read more... ) -
My Stardust Melody, Chapter 32, Part 2
Reid was resting on his bed and hugging a grey pillow to his chest, his hands dangling in the air. Maddie had left ten minutes beforehand, but he felt like she and all her condemnation were still in the room. Getting run over by an elephant would probably have been a more pleasant experience than his encounter with Luke's best ( Read more... ) -

"Luke? You didn't send this, did you? It must have been Henry! I could kiss him!" Faith declared on the other end of the phone.
"What?" Luke asked in confusion, while munching on the dinner Reid had dropped by before Maddie showed up to sit with him until visiting hours were over.
"Oh my god, it's ( Read more... ) -

Maddie brushed by Reid as he was exiting Luke's room in the morning. Luke nearly laughed at her outraged expression--her mouth opened and she inhaled so loudly it sounded like she was about to sneeze. Reid, however, nodded politely and kept going.
Whirling around, Maddie asked, "What was he doing here?"

My Stardust Melody, Chapter 30, Part 2
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... ) -
My Stardust Melody, Chapter 30, Part 1
"Dr. Oliver, you just finished receiving oxygen treatment for smoke inhalation. You are in no condition to be in here!"
Reid, with unconcealed disdain, stared down the on-call radiologist. "I'm fine. Now step aside and let someone who knows what he's doing take a look!" He moved toward the computer with Luke's CT- ( Read more... ) -
My Stardust Melody, Chapter 29
A/N We're still have a lot of angst here--just remember, there WILL be a happy ending. And, I apologize for the delay in posting--RL has a way of catching me unexpectedly. Chapter 30 should be up by Sunday.
Taking Nathan's advice, Reid had decided to give Luke space so the younger man's raw wounds--torn open by Damian and Reid-- ( Read more... ) -

Chapter Warning: There's still angst!
Reid threw open the car door and tumbled into the passenger seat. "Drive," he commanded, out of breath. He couldn't get away from the farm--and out of Luke's life--fast enough.
"What happened?" Nathan asked, folding his arms over his chest impatiently.
"What do you ( Read more... )
