Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll
louisev:
Their relationship is, for the most part, based upon Ennis being the top and Ellery being the bottom, with mild dominance and submission elements to it. I say "mild" because a true Dom/sub relationship doesn't general permit for switching, and Ennis has gradually become more and more interested in bottoming and oral sex. However, I don't personally see this as a departure from Annie Proulx's story since Ennis topped rather aggressively in her story on their first sexual encounter, and I merely extrapolated from that, and from Ennis's other aggressive tendencies.
However, they do not carry this mild dom/sub aspet into other parts of their relationship.

Did you notice the angry post at the bottom? >:( >:( Yes maybe Jack was Ennis,s soul mate, maybe one day Ellery will be too, who knows? For Gods sake, if these people dont like Louises story or any other fanfic they read, then why dont they go away and write their own and see if they can do any better, which I strongly doubt. grrrr. >:( >:( >:( >:(

That's what I thought, too. But the way some people make such a big deal about this I thought I must have missed something which, due to cultural differences, is unbeknown to me.

well some people think portrying homosexuality is controversial too! I guess there is a very conservative element within the fandom that thinks somehow that soft play in the bedroom is something wildly kinky and cannot be done.
