Sometimes when things are really tough, you have to pull out the big guns :)

Reid knows this and he has to do whatever it takes to make Luke feel better in any way he can, even if he can't help him physically.

I get a feeling you're not a big angst fan, but thanks for taking a chance on this. I sincerely appreciate your comments!

Huh? Actually I enjoy angst. Not a fan of overwrought drama that is not earned, but good angst is great.

I love those stories where Reid dies and returns in another form, or Luke first chooses Noah and then has to earn Reid's love while Reid freezes him out.

But good comedy is more difficult to get right. Maybe I tend to respond more enthusiastically to that because a crackling fun story is more rare.

I did think this story was beautiful. Sometimes the comments are shorter because I am rushed for time, or tired :)

Oh no, the comment wasn't the reason for it. :)
I just simply know you (and a few others) as a major Reid fan, and I've noticed that Reid fans often (but not always) tend to not like angsty stuff with Luke (from what I've seen around fandom); I guess there was too much of that on the show already. Ha.

Good to know!

I just have this habit of writing angsty dramatic stuff way too much when it comes to LuRe (I love fluff just as much) and I know not a lot of people appreciate it (yes, I've been told) and I know I alienate some people but I can't help it. I like drama!

Yeah, good comedy is hard to write (I adore petuniagirl because she's great at it), I agree. Guess that's why I stick to the angst. :D

Again, it was just an observation but thanks for correcting me on this. It's good to know non-fluffy fics are still welcomed.

This was awesome! I was squeeing like a fangirl to think of Reid performing like that for Luke. Don't know what more I can say that hasn't been already written above, but this was very well-written and I enjoyed it immensely. I look forward to reading more in this universe! (And I'm glad that you are still writing! Hopefully the block you've been suffering from has lifted.)

[sleeper6]

Thank you! You know Luke really did appreciate it. :)

The writing is getting better . . . I think. Nah, seriously, I'll be fine.

Reid will do whatever it takes! Thank you so much for reading and commenting!
