Thank you so much.
You're right, and I also think it would have felt too rushed to Luke. He'd really had a rollercoaster of a day. I don't think he'd want his first time with Reid to be so rushed, after they'd learned how to slow down together in Haiti - he'd want to savor the moment.

I agree, it would have been too soon for them, Luke had just ended his relationship with Noah, he needs time and they need to reconnect in the " real world " now...

Exactly. Luke's intense personality takes everything in, and he sometimes needs time to process it all. So the turnabout from "the eve of his wedding to Noah" to being with Reid would definitely take more than a few hours.

Calling it off on the day before the wedding sounds like such a soapy thing to do, but your description of it is anything but soapy, it's absolutely genuine and REAL. I'm sure this is something that has actually happened to some people, in the real world, and I could see it happening just like this. So well done. And the LuRe relationship is so deliciously joyful and free of angst and drama, even though there is drama surrounding it. But never BETWEEN them. This is what your stories are like and it's why I love them.

Thank you!! Yeah, one of the things that I love best about LuRe is that there is an easy-ness about their togetherness, if that makes sense.

I'm glad the wedding cancellation came off as real, and not soapy, because I didn't want to portray a soapy-Luke who can never seem to makeup his mind, but rather a genuinely torn, and unsure Luke, who had a hard time believing that such real happiness could ever be his.

I love that you decided to have Reid find Luke on the day before the wedding and not while it was already going on. And I'm glad that they want to try to take it slow, it seems more realistic.

Thanks for the comment! And glad you think so.

The way you've presented everyone here, the way you've let the main characters, especially Noah, grow has been a breath of fresh air.

:D :D :D

I like how you show that Reid and Luke bring out the v. best in each other. I think Luke had a shot at some happiness with Noah and a decent life. But I believe that he will have a joyful, rich, satisfying life with Reid because with Reid, he'll reach his full potential.

And this is why I refuse to believe (when I'm even allowing canon-ATWT to exist, ie. train, that is) that Luke would have eventually followed Noah out to L.A. No, No, NOOOOO!! Reid wasn't just an interlude. He was right for Luke, in a way Noah never was, and never could be. Even after they worked out their problems (like say in this fic) their relationship lacked that joy and passion.
