First of all, the trailer for the beginning of Luke and Noah'story is
here.
The channel with all the parts :
LukeVanFanThe very
first part.
Now let me count the ways.
1. Van Hansis is THE SHIT. He can act his way through a soap opera and be awesome at it. Pretty much everyone else has killed me with unwanted lulz at some point but not him, oh no. I take Luke dead seriously and he's the only one to get me emo enough to tear up. In fact he is so talented and my love for Luke is so hardcore that I'm watching Luke's story pre Noah now. INORITE *facepalm* But now I can say that he owned the role from the start.
2. Luke Snyder's EPIC BITCHINESS. He is *such* a little bitch ! If Luke doesn't like you you better run for the hills because he's a vindictive little fucker. That's of course not all there is to him but that's my favourite side and I'm always squeeing my head off when it comes out.
In one of the latest storylines, Noah's professor tried to steal him from Luke and Luke basically lost his shit and destroyed his career (and his nose). IT WAS GLORIOUS.
winterevanesce made an awesome fanvid of the Luke & Mason debacle :
Luke Snyder vs Professor Beefcake : THE SMACKDOWN. It's a good exemple of Luke's bitchy side (Noah was not a happy bunny but I'm sure he'll come around).
3. Noah Mayer is THE BEST. BOYFRIEND. EVER. After Luke and Noah started to have sex, Noah inherited the Oakdale Brain (it's a soap, therefore the town has only one brain to spare) and kept it ever since. He is always super patient with Luke and prevents him from getting too much into trouble (because Luke is brash, stubborn, a bit of a spoiled brat and extremely impulsive. Did I say that I fucking loved him ?).
4. Jake Silbermann's voice. I don't know why but his voice is such a turn on. I also love his puppy blue eyes. He did the best audition tapes ever where he says extremely filthy stuff like
"semen-swallowing soul-crushing demon slut" and I basically never recovered because his voice + filth = more than I could handle (makes it easier to imagine Noah's dirty talk during sex though)
( Jakes filthy audition tapes from hell behind the cut )5. Luke's current Magnificent Hair. I say current because Luke is always changing haircuts and hair color every 5 episodes. Right now it's a bit too long and so very GORGEOUS. I just want to reach out and run my hand through it. The storyline right now is maybe the most ridiculous after the Reg Murder Mystery of Fail (nothing can top that one) and ok, Jake is actually pretty good at portraying Noah's anger and frustration with his current condition. But what really makes me hold on ? The Wonders of Luke's Hair, definitely.
( One more fangasmic Hair pic from the front behind the cut )6. The Fashion Statement. Noah wears flannel shirts. Luke wears Every Kind of Stripes Ever. They wear flannel and stripes on screen both at the same time and yet I still haven't gone blind. I think they actually pull it off, even. How do they do it ? I have no fucking idea.
( one ADORABLE exemple behind the cut )7. Luke and Noah are the cutest pairing ever. I'll admit that I may love when they're fighting and angsting all over the place (
their first big fight still being my all time favourite part) even more, but in the end, there's no better reward than have them happy and completely adorable with each other for a while. It's usually short lived but it makes those moments all the more precious.

♥Oh boys♥
8. Luke being all slutty and mean when drunk. It's SO HOT I CAN'T EVEN.
( Drunk scene behind the cut )9. Everytime they talk about or allude to sex. I know that it's daytime tv which means that we'll never have a sex scene QaF style
thank god for the steamy fics but it's already nice that
THEY FINALLY DID IT and that since then they talk about it or imply that they fuck like bunnies so often. It helps that Jake and Van have such an A-MA-ZING sexual chemistry, that it looks 100% genuine and natural on screen.
( If looks could do more than look. They have enough sexual tension to set fire to the set. ) 10. THE EPIC AFTERELTON ROCKBAND INTERVIEW. TOO MUCH FTW TO COMPUTE. It has the boys playing Rockband with Jake trying to look like a rockstar with his guitar when playing in easy mode and Jake but mostly Van
butchering singing Bad Reputation (more adorable butchering at the end of the video). The following interview is PRICELESS because they are... Well if there is so many RPS fics in this fandom let's just say that it's completely their fault. Watch out for the body language and how they talk about "certain friendships". Oh my god.
( 15 minutes of pure visual Squee behind the cut )We've hit the halfway mark.If you've made it so far then I'm impressed ! I could really go on and on but I did restrain myself (though I could totally come up with an identical post and 20 new reasons, easy peasy.).
( 10 more reasons behind the cut )
This will never ever happen again without me being there, KTHXBAI.
Conclusion : you never know when and where you will find your next major OTP and it might strike you when you least expect it.
For me, it only happened to this level three times before, with CLex, Brian/Justin and Doctor/Master. This is officially my fourth and I'm so happy to be in that state again.
I haven't had that much fun putting a post together in forever ♥
