The Big Gamble (Epilogue)

[stl29tide]

Epilogue:“Holy shit, how much stuff do you have?” Reid asked as he carried in the last box. He looked around his living room to see boxes of all sizes practically littering his living room floor. Not knowing where to set it, he just plopped it down on top of another

This was SUCH a great read. After reading some very emotional fics, it was nice to read something light-hearted and very witty.

I loved both poker games. Your dialogue was very very strong throughout the story but the way you had the 'Oakdale cheering section' commenting on the face-down between Reid vs Noah and in the end Reid vs Luke as they kept upping the ante, was hilarious. I chuckled my way through it.
One of my fave lines:
"If he’s willing to part so easily with his boyfriend, I’m just curious. What is he an uggo? A buttaface?”

I loved the whole premise. Noah might do such a cruel, misguided thing and be totally oblivious about it.

I loved that Brad was alive in this. YAY! And that his family was focused on Luke's happiness instead of banging on about Noahs so-called merits. Lily seemed mature for a change.

And I love how this sums up how Reid is putty (snarky putty but still putty) in Luke's hands:
“Whatever you want to ask me, go ahead. If I think it’s stupid, I’ll say no and you’ll pout and I’ll say no again and you’ll give me those big Bambi eyes and eventually I’ll say yes. So….come on. You can ask. Either way it’s in your favor.”

I love how there is an instant connection between Luke & Reid and how they find their way into each other's hearts. There's lots of Rooftop!Luke here, which is always very satisfying.

Thanks so much!
