Lure Santa 2011 - Gift #05

Sink or Swim

Reid really doesn't appreciate being dragged away from his chess board to frolic in Snyder pond. But Reid doesn't know how to swim, and Luke apparently isn't going to stop teasing the shit out of him until he learns how. Now, if only he wasn't morally opposed to drowning in murky, algae and probably piss infested

Sweet fic! You conveyed really well why Reid would hide his phobia even from Luke. And I love that he was brave enough to force himself to try. It's lovely that Luke understood and comforted him. Great job.

I think that shower is gift #6. :)

Some fears are not meant to be conquered. I like how Luke talked him down and changed activities to something mutually enjoyable. Nice story.

This was great on many levels! Thanks, Santa;)

Whoa...LJ format change? Hmmm...

Anyway, this was great. Poor Reid. I love that Luke was understanding though, got his mind off of it, and made him laugh. :)

Great job.
