Prompt: Reid gets roped into babysitting (Jacob? Ethan? Other Oakdale kids?) and is forced to watch Sesame Street. He is appalled at their new "Healthy Habits for Life" shtick and can't understand why cookies are a "sometime food" now.
Cookies are NOT a Sometimes FoodnancygrewDecember 2 2011, 08:31:48 UTC
Luke was curled up in an armchair reading through some reports from the Maritime Commission and ignoring his husband and their nephew-facsimile, Jacob Snyder. Jacob and spent the night with them due to his mother having volunteered to help take care of her friend Henry, who was currently suffering ignobly from chicken pox. As Henry was quick to email to everyone of his acquaintance, chicken pox was not fun for adults. The fact that he had to be quarantined from his beloved wife, Barbara, was the cause for much bad, angst-filled poetry.
Luke glanced up when he heard Reid exclaim in disgust, “This is a crock!”
“Crock!” crowed two year old Jacob who was sitting on Reid’s lap and cuddling Reid’s left arm as though it was a Teddy bear. Jacob was staring intently at the television.
“Is Sesame Street being sponsored today by a letter that you consider intellectually inferior?” asked a confused Luke.
“Were you aware that cookies are now a sometimesfood?” asked Reid. “It’s like they neutered Cookie Monster

Jacob LOVES his Reid.
I probably didn't watch Sesame Street all that much but I have vague feelings of fondness for it and appreciate what the show stands for. They strove to have a diverse cast and promote learning as something to love so that's cool.
Prompt: Car shopping. (Whether it's about how Reid got the crappy malfunctioning car in the first place or about how Luke & Reid get him a new one after his recovery is up to you.)

Very nice! I love Luke being so concerned about Reid's safety [and the seatbelts! HA!] and Reid just being interested in being able to eat and have sex in the car.

Reid paused before knocking on the door of Hot Mom, his boyfriend’s mother. He just knew that this was going to be one more dinner where Lily Walsh attempted to look gracious while secretly comparing Reid unfavorably to Luke’s ex-boyfriend, Douche McDoucherton. But family was important to Luke, so Reid was just going to have to put up with occasionally socializing with Luke’s ridiculous relatives. Well, not all of them were ridiculous. Reid didn’t mind Luke’s younger siblings. And Lucinda was quite the dame. But Luke’s parents were annoying. They belonged on one of those ‘reality’ shows where the characters created unnecessary drama in order to draw attention to themselves. How Luke managed to turn out normal-ish with those two fruitcakes as parents, he’d never understand

Thanks! I hadn't decided who would be the White pieces but I did try to picture who Luke would assign for the black pieces. Maybe the white pieces would just be monsters that Reid's team would need to vanquish.

“Look at this one, Luke,” Reid says, whistling as he touches the hood of the sleek black car.
“Ah, yes, the BMW 550i sedan,” says Carlos, the car salesman. “Excellent choice, Doctor.”
Luke slowly walks around the car as he inspects it. “It is a nice car ( ... )

See Chapter 6 (the swim may not go the way you want though-it led to a lot of things).

Love Reid being so sweet with Ethan, but my favorite parts are the comparisons of Oakdale people and what chess piece they'd be. Hee! :D
