I am a litte confused... they were having a fight about this new guy, but not a breakup? Reid was right and Luke admitted that, at that point they seem to be still together right? So i dont get the reason for the breakup...

Yeah for Reid not giving up! I am so happy they are back together. They can do the unpacking later, first things first :)

Oops, sorry, I think I could've made things clearer in regards to the fight. I just didn't want to write every single detail of how it happened. To me, this fic is about getting together after being apart and not really about how/why they were apart.

But this was what made them break up. Again, I didn't go into detail but maybe I should've now that I reread it.

“Luke, stop. I don’t think that. And I don’t want to spend the next four months fighting about him again. Let’s move on.”

“Just like that?”

“You learned your lesson, didn’t you? I’ll settle for an apology now, a blowjob later and then we can put this behind us for good. Do you want to order in or go out?”Basically, Reid was willing to forgive IF Luke apologized for being wrong. Even though he was saying that they should just move on, he still wanted Luke to admit he was wrong. And though Luke knew he was wrong, he took issue with how Reid first forced him to make a decision on his behalf and then demanded an apology. So right after this line, Luke exploded and told Reid

Well, those things actually happen, that people who love each other get into stupid, dogmatic fights over "nothing" and everything gets out of control.
You captured that in a very realistic way, the silly blames, saying things they both would like to take back afterwards but couldn't, the desperation, they sleeping together weeks ago - wow that was such an intense chapter, showing their pain, love and cluelessness how to handle their conflict...and now this, also true to life, sometimes it only takes "mugs" and someone who is overstepping the lines to put everything else in perspective.
I don't know much about Aaron, now I'll have to do a little research :)
I'm surely not the only one thinking - THIS little universe still perfectly fits into the FFF-universe ;)

OH, and I do sosososo hope that the last prompt will make it....can't I vote twice :))

Captivating! I do love angst, but I'm so glad they are going to work things out!
