Title: Lake Geneva by B73
Post by: MaineWriter on October 19, 2006, 05:31:08 pm: I spent summers on a lake in New Hampshire, so the imagery of two young men whiling away the summer hours is very appealing to me. This is an AU!AU story with Jack and Ennis in the summer of 1952. Ten chapters have been completed so far. Chapter 1 starts here:

This one nearly made me cry.

This one really felt like the "coming back down the mountain" part of BBM. So heartbreaking, watching them deal with their upcoming separation. Yet, they at least have the promise that they will see each other again - something Jack and Ennis in the OS didn't have.

And those last two words from Ennis on the train platform - my heart just melted.

Anyone else still reading this???

Post by: littleguitar on October 30, 2006, 06:55:20 pm: I'm so excited, I had thought that the first Home on the Range was going to be a one-shot, now we have a full fledged sequel going! ;D

Of course, i haven't read this chapter yet, so it may be ending after this, but i hope not...

Post by: coffeecat33 on November 06, 2006, 11:08:41 am: I found "Lake Geneva" lovely & amazing, heart-breaking and romantic and sexy. ***SPOILER*** I was so afraid Mr. Twist was gonna find them out! I love these stories where J&E are young and discover their way to love each other. - cc33 / Leslie K.

Post by: littleguitar on November 06, 2006, 02:30:12 pm: I know this is a lake geneva thread, but does anyone know if Maggie plans to continue with Catch the Westbound? I just found that one... read through it in a day, then realized it was a sequel and went back and read Union Pacific and Signal Crossing. Every time I read one of her stories I fall in love...

Post by: MaineWriter on November 08, 2006, 12:18:13 pm: Home on the Range, Chapter 4

I believe there is also the conclusion to Catch the Westbround in B73's LJ. And a goodbye message...

Post by: caramelle58 on January 16, 2009, 04:15:10 pm: Hello, most likely nobody will read this anymore, but does anybody know if I could find "Lake Geneva" or some other stories from B73 on another website, now that the lifejournal has been deleted ? I really loved them and would like to read them again.

Many thanks

Post by: Monika on January 17, 2009, 11:52:58 am: I had no idea there even was a Lake Geneva thread :)I´m reading Lake Geneva at the moment and it´s not the first time. It´s so damn beautiful. The larger than life emotions, the similarities between Lake Geneva and Brokeback Mountain, the angst and the love. It causes me to cry, laugh and get turned on all at the same time.
Had no idea it had a sequel though. It´s so sad that it´s so hard to find any of her stuff anymore :(
