Was: Laramie Tales: New Working Title: Tales of Greenlea County (ARCHIVE)

My Licky Nicky is a gorgeous Italian singer by the name of Patrizio Buanne (who happens to be touring Australia at the moment).

I think David's Nick may be someone slightly more downmarket!

Oh and we know Louise's Nicky like to get downmarket.    Down to business that is!  LOL.

You sure did do it again.  Wow.  That was so unbelievably poignant, Louise.  I loved that Sue took one look at Jeremy and knew something had changed.  I mentioned that he had to have been in constant turmoil - but I had no idea the depth of it.  The image of a young brother and sister making that blood oath is just heartbreaking.  I'm glad they at least had each other growing up and have each other now.   I cannot wait to hear the rest of that phone call Jeremy made to his mother on Christmas day. 

Seeing Jeremy shiver in that inadequate coat -  it touches my heart to know that Nick must have suggested a nice warm one for his parents' Christmas gift to his Sweet Thing.  Sniff.

Thanks, Louise

Okay - so his name is right on the dang picture!     Duh.  Not being up on my gorgeous (understatement) Italian singers - I thought he was just a model in a tuxedo ad! 

And, yes, David, Naughty Nicky knows exactly how to get down to business.  Has he been taking any pics of Jeremy lately with his camera?

RE:  A Blood Oath

WARNING : SPOILERS


"THE END"   ?


Wait a minute?    Did I miss a paragraph?     What was the Oath all about?      So his sister was attacked.  That part I got.  But what was the other part?  The part about Jeremy?    Did she know he was interested in boys instead of girls?        Did his momma tell his sister he was caught wrestling with Steve?

I'm confused.     

[louisev]

Um.

Apparently you are not the only one confused.

"Blood Oaths" is not a stand-alone plot:  It hangs between two events in two stories about Nick and Jeremy:  the first one, "Dupree's Choice" in which he talks about his estrangement from his family in very sketchy terms.  The second is in "Home for the Holidays" in which Jeremy guides Nick back to Elk Mountain.  "Blood Oaths" takes place a week before Christmas, in preparation for Jeremy's reintroduction to his family and the discovery that his parents are no longer in Elk Mountain - the house has been all but abandoned, and his sister encourages him to phone his mother.

There are points in this plot that are not clear: however, they will be made clear in another story!

What "The End" means is the end of this episode, this short story.

And in answer to your very good questions:  their blood oath went two ways:  it was the promise Jeremy made to keep the rape secret from everyone at Sue's insistence.  The second was the secret Sue keeps of Jeremy's, which was only vaguely hinted, but concluded in the comment that he wasn't going to be making any grandchildren.

It was Steve's house they were at in the flashback - I should probably make the sentence structure a little clearer.  Steve's mother found them, to her puzzlement, wrestling in bed, but didn't think much of it.  Well, at least not right away!

Yes, more plot is in the offing.

Okeey Dookeey!

Will the other stories talk more about Steve's position in Dupree's life?  I find this part of the story intriguing.

[David]

Indeed!    I thought the only guy Dupree had ever kissed was back in basic training?
