Title: Still Worth It
Author: ashleigh_lin
Rating: T (probably less, but…)
Warnings: Um. Angst. And schmoop (Relatively equal amounts of each.) AU, though I’d call it more of a divergence. 2,750-ish words.
Disclaimer: I do not own Luke, Noah, or any other characters from As the World Turns. I obviously do not own As the World Turns, because if I did Proctor & Gamble wouldn’t touch it with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole. This is done purely for enjoyment and I do not earn a profit from writing or sharing it.
Beta: None.
Author's Notes (A/N): written for luke_noah's monthly challenge #2.
I have no idea if the farm house actually has a dining room; this is a complete fabrication assumption on my part. I apologize if it’s wrong, but even if there’s no such thing as Emma’s dining room… could you just pretend there is? Pretty please with a maraschino cherry on top?
Additionally: This is an AU according to spoilers. It’s kind of the worst case scenario depicting what could have transpired because of that ill-conceived New Year’s kiss. I swear to God, Lucinda has been my hero since I was wee-little and watching soap operas from my grandmother’s knee and asking if she and Lucinda were sisters. No offense meant to her or her fans for the small, unflattering snapshot of her in my story.
( Two years later, Luke still wears the watch Noah gave him. )
