But it turned out that Luke was just a big an asshole as Oliver. Luke was just stealthier about it.

I like this line ( and the whole fic of course) very much, because it reveals - in your specifically humourous way of telling - Luke's and Reid's closeness and nearly perfect working together!!!

Thank you very much! I like the fact that Reid and Luke's personalities mesh so well regardless of how different they are.

This is great! I love the way you incorporate a character's history in your stories. Chris has been consistently douchey and the only way anyone could see him as a good guy deserving a HEA is if they didn't watch the show. Ever. Brilliant to tell this from Chris's POV and it's nice to visit a world that sees him for who he is.

Thanks so much for reading! I remember reading someone's comment about how people should just get over Reid's death because Chris was a legacy character. That's true but I doubt that there were very many Chris fans.

Thanks for the links to the old clips. I was off the ATWT train for a while so these clips were new to me. I remember Katie worked at WOAK and was scheming with Henry to get the anchor job but none of the details.

Thoroughly enjoyed Chris's twisted take on things. I especially enjoyed REid's conversation with Dr. Grant. I'm glad he hasn't lost his snark.

Thanks very much! It's fun to think about the evolutions of characters. I love to remember that Barbara started off as a sweet, damsel in distress type.

Anytime you want to write Chris-bashing fics, go right ahead! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!

Satan and Satan's boyfriend. LOL! I love that.

And the Chratie relationship being less than perfect? Oh, yeah, I definitely buy that.

Chris will never be as awesome as Reid. He's realizing that for sure.

Great writing as usual!

Thank you! The Chris and Katie relationship would have been a trainwreck. Becoming engaged while someone's recovering from a traumatic illness? After dating for a couple of months [dates filled with lies and changing medical recoreds]. Not the best idea anyone ever had.

i love the trips back in time in your stories, they're funnier now too. i remember when Katie went after Holden & i really didn't start liking her until Simon & her really fell in love not the cover so Simon & Lily can run away together story either.
i think i like Beelzebub better for Reid, it sounds classier than Satan LOL & ANYTIME you want to bash Chris or Noah go right ahead.

Thanks a lot! It would have been kind of funny to see Katie be step-mom to Luke, Faith and Natalie. [I'm not sure if Natalie was around then - the SORASing does drive one kind of mad after awhile - I remember she was born on Christmas eve but can't seem to recall which Christmas without straining my brain]
