Soooooooooo this is pretty much the most awesome story ever written?

[random_nic]

Ha - I assure you, it's not. Unless you've recently been highly medicated by the Duke of Oliver. Then, maybe so?

Thanks for reading!

This was amazing! :D Now I have an inordinate fondness for Holden/Reid (Rolden?). And the storyline itself was so original, equal parts lulzy and cute. XD

[random_nic]

Thank you! I still have no earthly clue where that pairing came from. I think I originally meant for Reid to recoil at being hugged (you know, tactile human contact and all), but somehow when he got in there, he was all "Daddy sexy - me likey!" IDEK. I am equal parts disturbed and fascinated with the idea of this pairing.

I like Reid/Anyone but the boys, I think XD

OMG. I love fairy tales with a Nuke twist! I love love love this. Reid and Holden? Would definitely read it. :P

And awww, I love dragon!Noah licking Luke earlier. And their human!kiss later? The mental image I have of it is so adorable.

Thanks for sharing this awesome story!

PS: I still have to catch up with your stories!

You're welcome - thank you! I'm kind of surprised for the pro- Reid/Holden shipping reactions LOL. People weren't appalled like I feared might happen.

And honestly, I'm all for Lily, but an AU Holden and Reid is kinda smexy LOL.

This is ridiculously adorable. OMG. Dragon!Noah. That part was particularly touching to me, for some reason. And the scene where dragon!Noah licked away the tears? Gah. So sweet.

And you wrote this in like a day or two? You rock! This is an awesome adventure indeed! :D

p.s. I'm writing your b-day fic but it's inching forward ever so slowly. Sorry for all the belatedness!

p.p.s. Holden/Reid!!

[random_nic]

Thanks so much! Don't give me too much credit, though. The adventure's only meant to be "dubiously" awesome LOL.

Seriously, I know nothing about Dungeons & Dragons. And I naturally procrastinate anyway, so in the last few hours I just decided to put actual dungeons and dragons in a story. That meant it had to be a fairy tale, which meant Luke would be the prince, since Noah is always the knight-in-shining-armor, in my mind.

Except, we got to the castle, and instead of saving Luke from the dragons, Noah was a dragon. IDEK. I liked that it resulted in them saving each other. I guess sometimes it's good to have no blueprint, and just let the story go where it wants to.

Which I suppose is how we got Holden/Reid. What the sam hell is that? The Duke of Oliver saw no need to run that one by me first!

P.S. I am floored you're even doing a bday fic! No worries on the timetable. I love everything of yours I've read, and I'll enjoy it whenever it happens! :)

seriously grinning like a freaking loon throughout this entire thing. i love how perfectly you captured how they spoke in those days. that's always a tough thing to sell, the dialogue during a period piece. i admire anyone who can do it.

adfjkashdfakjshfs and noah's stupid dragon tongue stupidly licking luke's stupid face made me STUPID.

and holden and reid...HA. that strangely worked for me. loved this!

Thanks! I totally cheated by not actually naming a time period. I figured that way it could be a legitimately long time ago, or last week, so if I botched it who would know?

Holden and Reid... IDK. I blame Reid entirely. Creeper.
