so many wonderful comments, and so much deep thought... I love it. Thank you all for reading, but even more, for thinking through the larger meaning and value of the Laramie Saga. It makes me realize why I wrote it, or rather, why I HAD to write it.

What deep, pertinent comments on Ennis and his coming to terms with and finding himself. Jaack's death was the catalust and Ellery's love was the support in this journey, so beautifully portrayed in the Larramie Saga.
In the canon, Ennis found Jack, but Jack also found Ennis. A strong catalyst (as Jack's death) was necessary to bring Ennis along on his journey. But was this the only catalyst? Jack was involved in the relationship too.
The first story I read began with a powerful interaction (beautifully written) between Jack and Ennis when they met after Ennis' divorce. Jack seriously proposed suicide for both of them or for himself alone . To my mind, this was a powerful catalyst to get Ennis to change, and it worked! The two went on to own the Lazy L Farm in Quanah, Texas.
Other stories showed other motives. So I don't think Jack's death was necessary to set the process in motion, and I think Jack's love could have been as supportive as Ellery's.
I guess that's what these stories are for, and the LS gives us a great take on what could have been.
