I don't know how you manage to make me care about Luke, but you do. It's like some kind of magic.

This is all fab, and Luke's backstory as a college hockey player is now canon. Yup.

Gail is perfect-in this story, and in actual fact.

*toddles off to read your TVD crackfic from the other day*

I don't know how you manage to make me care about Luke, but you do. THEN MY WORK HERE IS DONE!!!

The fact that Luke/Gail are thing is also canon. I'm not sure how I'm gonna cope when the show comes back and perhaps maybe dares to suggest to me that they're not! Heeeeee!

GAIL IS INDEED PERFECT. IN ALL THE WAYS.

Thank you so much for reading and taking the time to comment! I'm still not entirely sure how this fic even exists to be honest! But I am glad that it does and I am even more glad that you enjoyed it!!!

The fact that Luke/Gail are thing is also canon.

Such is the power of your and catteo's witchery that I keep forgetting that we haven't actually seen it yet. My brain will not accept it. They *are* an item. Right now, as I'm typing this, they're probably up to something kinky somewhere.

Also, true fact: I keep reading the summary thing as "Luke chooses not to stake" and thinking, "oooooh, has she written another RB/TVD crossover?"

Like, three times today that has happened to me.

*headdesk*

Right now, as I'm typing this, they're probably up to something kinky somewhere. THIS!

Also, true fact: I keep reading my OWN summary thing with a fellow L/G stanfan as with a fellow L/G Stefan so there is no judging here!! Also, default TVD crossover thinking FTW!

I'm pretty sure this does in fact need to happen again...

Oh, this was just wonderful - I had the biggest grin on my face the whole way through!

Love the way you write these two, it seemed really in character to me (and the idea of Dov dazzling everyone with loops and salchows is made of win!!)

Thank you for writing this!!

[waltzmatildah]

Hee! THANK YOU!! I had the biggest grin on my face reading your review! I think your icon started it off!!!!

Thank you so much for reading/commenting/loving LukeGail!!

Clearly we L/G shippers are ahead of our time :)

[smiley_b]

Aw, thanks!!

Clearly we L/G shippers are ahead of our time :)

Indeed we are!! This fic for this pairing is so good that anything that happened with them in the show could not live up!! (Not to say that I wouldn't like to see them happen in the show mind you!!)

[drzlilsuga]

YES!

I read this entire fic with a smile on my face. I love the backstory you gave him and how GL are already in an established relationship.

At this point, these two are so canon for me that I'm gonna be tons disappointed when RB comes back in the summer.

(And bb you're timing is great lol! I was thinking about working on the dozen GL fics I've got saved on my computer and this fic is reminding me of how much I love these two.)

[waltzmatildah]

Yay for smiling!! ♥

these two are so canon for me PREACH IT!

I was thinking about working on the dozen GL fics I've got saved on my computer and this fic is reminding me of how much I love these two. OH! YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY WITH THIS NEWS!!!

[drzlilsuga]

WELL I MUST REPAY YOU FOR THIS FIC! <3

(Sweet honey child, one of them is over 6000 words and still not even near done.)

[waltzmatildah]

ALL THE WORDSSSSS!!!

You should definitely get onto finishing that! Haha!! I'm determined to fill the space between now and when the show comes back in June with ALL THE LUKE GAIL fics before the writers can RUIN OUR FUN (IF THEY DARE!).

The midas of the fic world, everything you touch is gold. I ship this ship like it is the opposite of the titanic and I blame you completely.

I love how natural the progression is, that its not rushed cause its fic and there needs to be a happy ending, but rather more organic, with setbacks and projectiles and secrets and everything.

It was really just awesome.

[waltzmatildah]

I ship this ship like it is the opposite of the titanic and I blame you completely. I AM HAPPY TO TAKE THE BLAME FOR THIS!!!

Are they not ~actually PERFECT for each other??!! I mean, come on...

I am SOOOO excited that you commented on the progression of this feeling not rushed etc, because the original version of this fic was about 4500 words and I sent it to catteo who, when she got to 'the end', was all... WHAT? NO! BUT...!! WHAT NOW?! And she suggested I write one more bit and then, 4000 words later... THIS! And I also think it works much better now.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[catteo]

I KNEW IT WAS NOT JUST US!!!

I'm so glad that you sent this work of beauty out into the world. LOOK HOW MANY PEOPLE LOVE OUR GAIL AND LUKE.

You basically already have the blow-by-blow of all the parts of this that I ADORE ie. all of it.

I WILL REWARD YOU IN KIND I PROMISE.

SOON.

ISH.

[waltzmatildah]

HEEEE! WE HAVE A WHOLE POSSE!

I can wait for soonish!!
