My Stardust Melody, Chapter 11

Apr 03, 2012 15:30

December, 2 years later

Driving through freaking cornfields to get to the airport outside of Oakdale, Reid sped down the road in his black rental car. He tried to pay attention to what was on the radio and not to the fact that this car was probably infested with more germs than six drooling babies. He glanced at the gum (he hoped ( Read more... )

Wow. I didn't expect any of this but I love it!!!
I can't wait for Reid and Luke to meet again!!

Thanks! I always planned for the guys to meet again in Oakdale sometime after the party, but Luke going into business with Henry was a recent decision. So, it's a little lighter than originally planned--it's hard to stay angsty when Henry is in the mix!

The guys meet soon!

Brilliant twist, Petunia!
Losing his job in Boston made Reid predisposed for Oakdale!
Can't wait them to meet!

Thank you! I had to drag poor Reid to Oakhell somehow. It's too fun to torture him a little there.
They meet again soon!

EVIL, but deliciously funny!

I'm pretty much evil to the bone when it comes right down to it.

Oh my gosh, its like a whole new story. What a cool idea to have Henry decide to buy into the horses to save Luke's family. Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your writing is so light and entertaining. I love all the off hand comments about working for Craig and James Stenbeck dead for the moment, but this exchange really cracked me up:

"Did I ever tell you about how mia madre conceived me on the racetrack?"

"No," Luke replied, unsure of where Henry was going with this story.

Henry explained, "She bet on a two-legged nag called 'One Night Stand.'"

I can't wait for the next chapter.

Thank you! Originally, I was going to bump ahead a few years but it was going to be a bit more depressing. I kind of lost my taste for angst and decided to bring in a little lightheartedness. Hopefully, no one will mind.

You picked out my favorite line--I read a lot of Henry's old dialogue from the show and his comments about his mom and the men on the racetrack inspired me.

Lemondrop, your comments are always way too kind and fun ( ... )

Nice chapter! You know, I can't recall too many fics where Luke and Henry have long scenes together-I enjoyed that!

petuniagirl April 4 2012, 23:53:55 UTC

Thanks! Now that you mention it, I don't think I've come across too many of those kinds of scenes either. I guess it's because they didn't interact much on the show, but I think it could have been fun if they had. I adored Henry/Reid scenes though!
