~Fun Fic Friday~

TGIF! It's the day before the weekend, and what better way to close out a long week than with a fun dose of ficlets and drabbles of Luke, Reid, or Luke & Reid? Or how about some amazing icons or graphics of the guys? (Don't be fooled by the name - Fun (Graph)Fic Friday just didn't have the same ring to it.) Here's your chance to

Warrior Reid

Every now and then Luke looks at Reid and reflects on their life. He can’t believe how lucky he was to find this man and give him a chance. He was quite the dragon at first breathing fire at everyone around him, especially at Luke. Even now people wonder how Luke can stand being with such a rude, insensitive, egotistical jerk. Luke just smiles at them knowing that there was another side to him.

Even a dragon can’t breathe fire constantly. Luke began to see glimpses of what was beneath the fire. It was then he realized he had it all wrong. Reid wasn’t the evil dragon. He was a warrior wearing a protective armor. Beneath that armor was the most caring sensitive man Luke had ever met. He defended the lives of his subjects, the patients, against the real dragons in his kingdom, illness and injury. Luke saw how seriously he took that role. He grew to appreciate that the warrior wore the shield of armor to protect himself from the most fierce injury of all, emotional injury, so he could be the best warrior in the kingdom.

The burden of the heavy armor suit was exhausting. Luke realized the warrior needed a place to remove that burden and still feel safe. The warrior wanted Luke to be that place. The warrior exposed his true nature to Luke and Luke fell in love with him.

So Luke laughs to himself when people ask how he can be with Reid for they only see the fire breathing dragon. Luke knows he is anything but the dragon. He is the knight in shining armor and Luke considers himself to be the luckiest man in the world to know the warrior beneath.

Beautiful! I love the imagery and I love the idea of Reid feeling safe enough to lay down his armor with Luke.

[kccalgal]

Thank you. It feels good to be able to let your guard down.

Smiling like Luke here!
Wonderful!

Thank you. They are both lucky to have found each other.

So much lovely imagery in a short piece. I like the warrior comparisons but I love dragons so I'm good with Reid being dragon also.

Thank you. I sometimes like to think Luke was the dragon tamer.

Thank you for the sweet comment.

I love when Luke sees Reid and gets him like nobody else. <3

[kccalgal]

Me too. Thank you.

Wow, so nice and sweet and you know everything... I love the line of Reid slaying dragons all day with fighting against illness and injury...and you're right Luke gets to see the man underneath that armor and what a man that is!!!:)

[kccalgal]

Thank you. Very few are lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Reid without his armor.
