Prompt: terrible present(s) moerlin February 3 2015, 22:09:47 UTC

Okay, guess I'll go ahead and get us started with some prompts.

Prompt: bad present(s), possibly a last minute thing for Valentine's Day...?

Fill: Terrible present(s) flowersforchuck February 9 2015, 03:17:57 UTC

Reid critically eyed both boxes. They were roughly the same size and shape, so he picked one up and gave it a shake. He repeated the shaking with the second box but, obstinately, they produced the same sound.

"Reid, Ethan's waiting," Luke said in a tone strained with faux patience.

Reid sucked in air between his teeth and randomly grabbed a box and turned to the kid, who was actually waiting patiently. "Here you go, buddy. Happy Valentine’s Day."

Giving his siblings small trinkets was a weird tradition of Luke’s. Reid’s participation in the rituals of Valentine's Day was non-existent before meeting Luke, but he always thought it was based on romantic love rather than a free-for-all, but that was consumerism for you ( ... )

Still snickering at "I'll be doing my own hair, thank you" :D :D :D

Thanks so much for filling this prompt!

Details details! One would think with such different presents Reid's brilliant mind would think to label them lol. At least his brilliant mind came up with a quick fib. Luke's reply was priceless. Great fic!!!!!

Prompt: teaching chess moerlin February 3 2015, 22:11:09 UTC

Reid doesn't really know what to do with kids, so naturally, he teaches them chess. (Can be Ethan, Natalie, their own kids... whoever, really.)

Ethan's hand hovered over the chess board but his eyes were locked on Dr. Oliver. Luke said he could call him Reid, and Dr. Oliver agreed, but it seemed weird to Ethan. Dr. Oliver was an adult, somehow more so than his parents, so, for the time being, Ethan was going to continue to call him Dr. Oliver ( ... )

"I'm not going far. Our house is only five minutes down the road," Luke said, putting an arm around Ethan's shoulders ( ... )

Eeeeeeeeeeeee! \o/

as the tip of Ethan's finger passed from the horse to the castle tower

I love that he calls them that in his head! Nice touch.

"Dr. Oliver could move in here" [...] Luke made an odd choking sound that ended in a laugh. "That...would not work out."

But it sure is fun to imagine! :D

Ethan's face screwed up in disgust. They were going to kiss, he knew it

Ha!

Also, cookies! Better for bonding than chess. And sweet LuRe touching. Oh, and Yahtzee is the best.

My favorite aspect, though, is that Reid's not looking for a replacement family and is with Luke for Luke (as it should be). ♥

P.S. You should totally post this separately as well so that it can get the attention it deserves. :)
