NO.  Not even Minnie.  I'm sorry, Jo, I have to draw the line somewhere.

I'm baaaaack!

Mickey Mouse says hello.  I missed y'all!

Caught up on all the 'fantabulous!' chapters - hoo-weee! ...but I'm woefully behind on the thread, so going back to where I left off, which was page 464 ... I think. 

 

Good to be home.  Did a lot of walking.  Hurt my knee, got swollen ankles, and caught a bug so now my throat is killing me....
And I gotta cook a turkey dinner Thursday.   Oh, well.

Hey NV!
Good to see ya back! 

[David]

yes, remember the "sex headache"?  Hm?  Hm?

Yup.   Ennis and Ellery need to move into separate guest rooms at Wes & Ednas.     This way Edna can mother them both and keep them apart!   LOL.

Ennis doesn't need Ellery walking around naked to distract him.   And we don't want Ellery home alone unsupervised either!    LOL

Oh..I know!!

Remember how the doctor advised Ellery to take up swimming ..?
This might be a good opportunity for him to distract himself and get some exercise, all at the same time (while Ennis is bed-ridden that is ..lol)
We know he is worried about the boys at the pool checking out his ..well, legs .. so we can make him swim with all his clothes on ..
He might need a slight push though ..

*oh!* I just had a pang of longing for Hugh!

Of course it may have had something to do with buying and watching the X-Men Trilogy this weekend.  I have dreams about that eyebrow, and that... leather...suit.

Well, in an indirect way Minnie has already featured through her dreams!

Minnie the Moocher by Cab Calloway

Hey folks here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher
She was a low-down Hoochie Koocher
She was the roughest toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale

She had a dream about the King of Sweden*
He gave her things that she was needin'
He gave her a home built of gold and steel
A diamond car with the platinum wheels

He gave her his townhouse and his racin' horses
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
Had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted them a million times

* And we all know who felt he like was the King Sweden don’t we?

Anyhow looks like she dreamed about the wrong guy - Ellery's got all the money!

This is my solution to the whole bedrest thing...

Bedrest is boring. Ennis and Ellery don't want to live through it, and we don't want to read it. So, the next chapter is dated, "Thursday, November 2, 1984." It starts with Ennis coming home from the doctor.

Ellery says, "How did it go, sweetheart?"

Ennis replies, "Great. We were so careful and didn't have any stress or strain, everythin is healin and..."

"And...?"

"And he said we could get married on Sunday."

"Ya told him you were queer?!"

"No, I just told him I'm gettin married, and already had ta postpone it a week."

Voila!

Yes; for some it's apparently A-OK to depict fisting, golden showers, domestic violence and murder, Ennis as a hit man, Jack as a truck stop whore, etc. but a loving, monogamous relationship between Ennis and another man after Jack is dead (yes, that did happen in the original story, people; deal with it!) -- OMG, cover my eyes, I can't look! Annie would be outraged!

There's something more than a little irrational going on here. 

I've heard of the Ennis as a hit man one, but haven't had any desire to try it - just too AU for me.  But, jack as a truck stop whore?  Golden showers?  OMG!  Ewwww.  Anyone know the names of those fics so I can avoid running into them by accident?

Some of the things that go on in this fandom just boggle my mind.

Glad to have you back, NavyVet, we've missed you alot!

Hugs and more,
