Author's Notes: Reid learns about Luke and Noah’s relationship. Even by the end of the show, when Luke realized he and Noah weren't meant to be, he still defended many of Noah's actions. This was as realistic as I could make it. This is T?WT?, as well as unbeta-d, but I did ( Read more... )

This was perfect. Showed how much of an idiot Noah was. And just how awesome Reid is.

Reid kissed him again, softly. "And Noah?"

"Noah, who?"

Oh Yeah, Baby!

This read like a thesis on the dysfunctional relationship known as Nuke. All those still proclaiming that Luke and Noah were right for each other should read this story!

Thank goodness for Reid. You really highlight how important Reid's entrance into Luke's life was.

Part 1 - yep, uber-comment time! teranee January 2 2011, 03:07:47 UTC

Even after being with Luke for over six months, he didn’t understand Noah and Luke’s relationship. The way Oakdale talked, their romance sounded like the greatest love story of the century, but the evidence just wasn’t there. His brain wasn’t clicking, and it was the most frustrating puzzle yet.

YES!!! Reid Oliver: once again the voice of the fans!! Nuke's "greatness" really is 99% talk and very little substance. I love that you've got Reid taking the whole scientific approach to it all - genius.

Just before Christmas, Alison and Casey invited Luke and him to their home in Carbondale. Reid tried to pick up an extra shift, but it seemed Luke had threatened the entire hospital, and Reid found himself sitting on an uncomfortable kitchen chair listening to Casey and Luke catch up. At least dinner was good. Very good, actually. And he could smell pie in the oven. That brightened things considerably.Hehehe. I love Reid and I love Luke, and this is them and it makes me happy - bravo! Ooo, and yay for having Luke hanging out with his ( ... )

Luke’s voice was still in that strange, strangled tone, and Reid didn’t like it. It wasn’t his Luke: his brave, strong, happy Luke. This Luke was hurting and broken, and he didn’t know what to do. He needed to get Luke away from it, somehow. He needed to get Luke out of the house. He pulled his pager out of his pocket ( ... )

Part 3 - And they all lived happily ever after! teranee January 2 2011, 03:10:34 UTC

It was a controlling relationship. It had to be. A quick phone call with Casey seemed to solidify the new hypothesis. Luke continuously took the blame and told Oakdale it was his fault, not Noah’s, and they believed him. Reid wanted to kill Luke’s parents for agreeing with it, assuming everything was Luke’s fault. Never once did Luke have someone on his side. From what Reid could tell, he was the only person who had stood up and said, “Luke, that wasn’t your fault,” and they weren’t even together at the time.

It's horrendous, isn't it!? I wish Reid had been there to deliever a "thanks to me you can see the door, use it" style smackdown for every one of Noah's douchey things. He'd have been MAAAAAD. I think you do an amazing job of capturing all the different levels of pissed off that Reid experiences as he learns about Noah's systematic horridness to Luke.

“I may not understand every situation between you and Noah, but even I, a lowly brain surgeon, know that he’s humiliating you!”HA! I love that line. It's perfect, classic ( ... )
