Source: Fanfiction based on Brokeback Mountain, slightly more influenced by the film than the short story.
Rating: mostly NC 17, some slash; a metaphysical subplot, which may bother some readers.
Synopsis: At Alma Junior’s wedding, Ennis discovers that while Jack may be dead, he isn’t gone or even very far away. Over the next year Jack stays in ( Read more... )

SO very very lovely, Marcia. LOVED Ennis watching the sun rising with Jack's quilt around him. Loved this part:

But in a way his favorite kind of daybreak was when wraiths of fog hovered and glided here and there over the water, rendering it a kind of odd milky blue and blurring the horizon altogether. It always jogged the stubbornly reclusive awareness of those few moments during his wedding night with Jack that he could never recall. It was less like a blank space than the kind of dark-colored impression left on a wall after a long-resident picture is removed and it continued to puzzle Ennis; but he felt closest to Jack on this mornings and that was enough for now.

All the food talk was great! I've never heard of most of the food mentioned.

Loved David saying your Jack, love them opening up just a little bit more..Also love how Ennis is settling in.

Thanks so much for continuing this story, Marcia. It means a lot to me. I can get so so sad when I think of some of my other fave stories that aren't being updated anymore.

Mmmmm...cheese grits!!! milomorris January 22 2008, 07:21:08 UTC

- Thanks for the recipe for cheese grits. I've never tried putting a beaten egg in it before. But 2 hours to cook grits??? I dunno if I have the patience for that.

- Akavit = BIG trouble.

I have a good recipe for cheese grits I'll send you. Found out a few years ago it's a good side dish for poultry. It can be made without cooking it for that long, but won't be as good.

Thanks for reading!

Lutefisk! I'm from Sweden where that is a traditional Christmas dish, and I have never eaten it. It was on the table all right, but I took one sniff at it, when I was very young, and decided never to eat that. Loved the chapter. Love that you let the story take its time rather than force events.
