LOL omg this conversation
(reid & william)
is just so fucking hysterically
and almost awkward.
almost.
omg xD

wooooah.
dude.
maybe channing isn't a complete baffoon O_O
i ... i almost want to ... to.. like him!
*GASP!*

"in that way sometimes noah's words hurt like bullets from a riffle."
*speechless*
wow. that line... just wow.
i can't even express how simply amazing that line was to me.

"What happened to the guy I fell in love with?"
"He grew up and realized he deserves better."

BAM!! OMG LUKE FTFW!
*flails like a maniac*

this was amazing. simply amazing <3

nice song choice, btw ;D
<3

The Reid/Channing conversation was so much fun to write. If I could have explored Reid/Channing a bit more, I would have, but it was time for Channing to go back to Dallas. :(

"in that way sometimes noah's words hurt like bullets from a riffle."
I love that line, because it just means so much and carries a whole lot of history in just a few words.

"If the moon fell down tonight" is such a perfectly perfect LuRe song<3.

Thank you so much!

Exactly! (about the line) You hear similar comparisons in other works, but it doesn't hold the same meaning as then. Comparing Noah to Winston, his words to bullets... it's brilliant. *applauds*
And oh yes. That song always makes me think of the boys ^^;
<3

mwahahahaahaha, IN YO FACE SQUINTY!!!!!

*calms down* hey, it felt good to get that out. :-)

[alissablue]

*high-five*

\o/\o/\o/!

Your hatred for Noah never fails to amuse me. XD

I really enjoyed the Reid/Channing conversation. So funny! What a strange relationship they have!

I was so happy to see Rooftop!Luke here! It's really about time that he told Noah what he really thinks! The last line - PERFECT! Can't wait to see Luke and Reid develop their relationship now with Noah out of the way!

[alissablue]

Thank you! I really enjoyed writing Reid/Channing, because it's a great dynamic to work with.

Luke and Reid still have quite a bumpy road ahead of them, but they'll take their first big step toward that eventual relationship on the day of Molly/Holden's wedding^^.

Argh! I *hated* Noah here especially when he said, "I think I can forgive you." It may have been a kinda low blow to compare Noah to Winston; BUT it was also a valid comparison. Noah is very controlling and self righteous. He's maybe not a violent psychopath ... though after rewatching clips via the Noah Who? comm, I realized Noah does have some rather scary physically violent tendencies as well ... yes, in canon. He punches men in the face so hard he knocks them down! (The high crime for this potentially lethal assault? Getting kissed by Luke, of course. That's approaching Daddy committing murder for wife's infidelities territory in my book, actually.) So yeah, I agree the apple doesn't really fall that far from the psychoDaddy tree and it's rather ironic how Noah likes to throw Damian in Luke's face all the time when Win Mayer is so much worse!

I loved, loved, loved Luke's last line to Noah! Yay Luke!

[alissablue]

The "I think I can forgive you" line makes me want to cringe, but I honestly think it's something Noah could have said. XD

And I do agree that the comparison between Noah and Winston may have been a litle harsch (I don't think Noah could have done some of the things Col. Mayer has done), but I think that, perhaps, Noah really needed to hear those words from Luke.

I love that last line, too! Thank you so much<3.

LOL, I don't think I got to read this after you edited it, so it was a nice surprise in the middle. :D

YAY! We're so close to...things. :D

[pabwecg]

Things, you say? Things...whatever could you mean? Hmmm...

[slayerkitty]

Wouldn't you like to know?

Yes, I know I'm a tease. :D

[alissablue]

And I totally love you for that ;).

I edited this chapter in class this morning and it was right after (I think) you usually leave for work and I really wanted to post, so I just did XD.

Rescue Me soon, yes? Is it just me or did I miss an update last night/this morning XD?
