Update to "Shelter From the Storm"

http://louisev.livejournal.com/94929.html  "Chapter 73:  Suiting Up"

Tux-Shopping, as promised.

Dedicated to "Mr. Tux" on John Fitch Highway, Fitchburg Mass.  Yes... there really was one!  That is where my former spouse got his tux for our star-crossed wedding.

Lucise,

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the great pictures!  I thought it couldn't get any better than Hugh/Ellery in the leather jacket, and then I saw the next one, and THEN I got to the tux picture.  OMG, I love that one!  WooHoo is right! ;D
What Jack remembered and craved in a way he could neither help nor understand was the time that distant summer on Brokeback when Ennis had come up behind him and pulled him close, the silent embrace satisfying some shared and sexless hunger.   -Annie Proulx (Icon by alighttofollow)

While Ennis and Ellery fans "out there" hold fast in their belief that Ennis truly loved Jack and that his new blossoming love with Ellery does not taint or diminish the passion or reverence he has for Jack in the controversy beyond the little nest of Bettermost... it is very heartwarming to receive the wonderful comments, fanart, and encouragement and discussion here in the E&E thread.

I believe that Ennis could not have learned to love Ellery as much as he has without loving and losing Jack, and his heart being broken by the loss of the one thing he did not know he treasured, and that it was not until Jack had been taken from him that he truly understood not only his own feelings, but also Jack's feelings for him.  This is the tack I have used in approaching this story, and it is based upon close advisement by more than one person who has lost the one they have loved most deeply, only to find unexpectedly, a new life, new hope, and a new love that they can embrace, knowing that the lost lover would rejoice in their healing and moving forward.  That is who I have dedicated the Laramie Saga to, and that is who I am writing it for.
