fic: First Love (Chapters 1-18)
Title: First Love (1-18/20)
Author: Cherimola
Genre: Drama, future fic, angst and romance
Rating: Up to NC-17 (from chapter 3)
Characters: Luke and Reid
Warnings: Explicit sex, indulgent angst. But with a guarantee of a ridiculously happy ending.
Disclaimer: Silly, you can’t own real people. Wait, what?
Summary: Luke has never forgiven himself for letting Reid go. Finally, a chance to write a different ending.
Author’s notes: OK, I realize that no one is likely in the mood for angst at the moment but, on the off-chance that this story could help with the grieving process for someone who hasn’t already read it, I am posting it here now (I’ve been posting on LRO). Though still a WIP, the most recent chapter ends on a supremely happy note. I should finish the entire story within the next two weeks.
As for the plot, the story is set three years in the future. The original idea came from what I had assumed would be the endgame; the impetus to start writing was when I first heard the real-endgame rumor. I preferred to live in my future, thank you. Regarding the timeframe, although I began writing this story at the beginning of July, I’ve decided that my timeline and the show’s timeline don’t diverge until just before the bridal-suite scene on August 3rd. There is no talk of Victorian waiting in my universe (but there was no sex, either). Assume that some of the events of the Aug 10th episode did happen, however - specifically, Noah’s asking Luke to go to LA and Luke's turning him down (and then telling Reid about it).
