Re-readers...
We finish today! Just four chapaters left, 95, 96, 97 and 98.

I'll cut right to the chase with the closing paragraphs of the story...
“Right.” Ennis picked up the bottle of oil and poured some into his hand, reaching down and touching that painful spot just north of the flare of his ass, feeling a heartbeat there, his fingers moving slowly upward and into the healthier muscle above, and felt the other man’s breath deepen into a soft moan.
“Ellery,” he said, his voice thick, heavy in his throat.
“What…”
“You don’t… ya don’t have ta fuck me every day for me ta stay. Yer wearin yerself out. You got work ta do.”
Ellery didn’t answer. Ennis took a deep breath, let it out. He knew that there was only one thing to say, and that it must be said.
“I’ll love ya anyway.” His eyes seemed to sting and blur, and he felt the wide, slate grey gaze settle on him, a hand move up to his naked chest, stroking it, and he shivered deeply.
“Thank you, Ennis.”
Choking back a sob, Ennis leaned down, taking the hand that rested against his chest, caressing it between his fingers even as he continued to rub the hot, tense muscles of his back, and kissed him, eyes closed, tenderly, his lips soft against the open lips of his lover, parting softly to whisper against them… “I do…love you.” And he felt the surge of emotion in the body beneath him as the lips brushing his responded, perhaps more softly,
“And I love you, too, sweetheart.”

Umm, yes!
It's a serendipity that we finish Taking Chances just before Christmas! As one of my favorite fanfic original characters said, "Things happen for a reason." (For those of you unfamiliar with that quote, it's from Hal's nephew, Tom, in Leslie's brilliant alternate universe fic, A Love Born from Steel.)
This morning, when I read of Ennis speaking the words, "I'll love ya anyway," my eyes filled with tears yet again, even though this was about the seventh time I've read that scene.
And all this carryin' on is to say that the shared re-reading is very important to me. I'm sure I'm not alone in that sentiment. :)

I can't say it better than that. I'm reading ALBFS right now - and loving it! Tom is a great character - and I agree with his sentiment completely!
Thanks - Marie
