KISS

I thought I'd mostly done with Brokeback fanfic, but there are a couple of things which still gnaw away at my brain. This story arose out of one of them. It won't be to everyone's liking but I hope it will at least be worth reading. All I ask of readers is to not jump to lots of early conclusions.

For the sake of a label, I'll call it AU

Great development...

...even though very little actually "happens" in terms of incident, a lot of background is being set. I'm intrigued by Lou's relatively neutral presentation. He's clearly sounding Ellis out. Is Lou gay-friendly but cautious? Or homophobic but cautious? Time will tell... or will it?

On to Chapter 3!

Ennis all alone?

I was waiting for Ennis to visit his daughters and perhaps grandchildren in Christmas but it seems he was all alone, without any family? he never married or divorced without children?

Well, Texas is definitely more amicable than Wyoming for old people, so Ennis definitely made the right move, for more than one reason, obviously. LOL!

It looks like Jack got a real nice business here, and he has trusted hands to run it. So I guess it is not a bad place for some happy romance to happen, even for two 60-year-old!

I liked the way you had Ellis with 'lightning-fast reflexes' like Annie's Ennis.

"blunted hopes and stunted dreams" was such a descriptive way to write of Ellis' life.

The description of Jesse's place through Ellis' eyes was both clever and revealing.

You write of Ellis' stoicism with a great deal of skill.

A great chapter in a very fine story.

Thank you

So Ellis actually came down to Texas. Makes me think why, as he seems a bit hostile concerning Jesse. But there must be something that brought him down to Texas. I'm looking forward to finding out what it is ;)
