Chapter 26 - Part 2
"No more o’ that now," David warned, glancing toward the door. Ennis followed his glance and saw two women heading toward the table. One of them, a stocky blonde woman about five years older than Ennis, looked like someone’s determinedly youthful grandmother dressed for a business lunch in a knit suit whose shoulder pads suggested that her ( Read more... ) -
Chapter 26 - Part 1
First, I want to apologize for taking so long to resume posting. That's been due to some urgent personal issues that have come up (including but not limited to my car dying and illnesses in the family), but also to the fact that this is a transitional chapter that was unusually difficult for me to write. Most of the chapters in this part of the ( Read more... ) -
Gift of Exile, Summary of Chapters
Because my progress with chapters has been so slow, several readers had commented that it had been awhile since they'd read the earlier part of the story, and one reader suggested that I put together a summary of the plot so far.
This is a canon sequel to BBM, somewhat more based on the film than on the short story. It opens in June of 1984.

Gift of Exile, Chapter 25
Maggie’s car had reappeared in the driveway when they arrived home a few days later. "Told ya she’d be back," David remarked but before they even got to the stairway Maggie hurried out the front door, dressed in what looked to Ennis like an Indian princess costume from an old movie and followed by a tall, blonde man. "H-e-y-y-y Ennis, Doctor D!" ( Read more... ) -
Gift of Exile Chapter 24
"Haven’t seen these b’fore," Ennis said, looking over a stack of open boxes containing multicolored ropes of different lengths, various nets, open baskets covered with netting and packages with baffling names like "fender whips" and "snap chain stringer." "Supplies for boating ‘n fishing," David answered. "Remember all that stuff we had on ( Read more... ) -
Gift of Exile Chapter 23
Sorry about the long wait for this chapter! This and Chapter 24 center around the progress of Ennis' and David's relationship. Ennis will move into still more uncharted territory after that, and hopefully these chapters won't take as long as this one.

Remembering Heath
As all BBM fans know by now, Heath Ledger was taken from us, all too soon, on January 22nd.
I will be continuing with "Gift of Exile", but will be taking a break for a few days in respect for Heath and his family, friends and many fans. -
Gift of Exile, Chapter 22
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... ) -
Gift of Exile, Chapter 21
The knock was a quick, perfunctory one. The door was already being pushed ajar as Ennis pulled it open and the woman on the other side stumbled after it into the kitchen. They were both surprised for a moment, and then the woman smiled. "Thought I heard somebody walkin around up here - I told David I'd check up on you. "Well then, ma'am," he ( Read more... ) -
