Aw ç___ç pain!!!
In all these years writing slash fiction I've never once managed to write one in which one of the characters is *not* gay. It could well happen. Hell, it's even likely to happen. It's just... painful ç__ç!!
You handled this wonderfully. And, if part of me is here craving for a sequel in which turns out that yes, Reid is indeed interested in Morgna to make things right... I do also believe that *not* making things right is the beauty of this piece.
Very, very well done.

Thank you! I like to think that maybe Morgan's wrong, but, well, he's got a lot of baggage, and Reid specialises in oblivious-to-girls/guys.

And sometimes, yeah, it just ... doesn't happen. Thank you for such a lovely comment :)

I liked this. Morgan being angry about his attraction to Reid, being angry about Reid's non-attraction to him. The imagery worked great too.

*fansself*

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

This is a really amazing fic about this episode! One of my favourite, for many reason (Reid-wet-in-a-pool probably being a big part of my liking I'm afraid! XD). I love the desesperation and weird sort of denial! It's beautiful! :)

[temaris]

What a nice thing to say! Thank you! (There's nothing wrong with Reid-wet-in-a-pool ::g::)

There is a lot of raw emotion portrayed. It's good.
