Leslie, dear, the rating needs to go at the start of the post.

I have so many favorite parts of the Laramie Saga, I couldn't name one as best.

But the meeting of Ellery and Ennis and those first few hours of getting acquainted has to be near the top.

I would love to hear that story told from Ellery's point of view.

Anybody else feel that way?

Somewhere in the story (sorry, can't remember exact chapter number) is a scene where Ennis pounds Ellery's ass into the mattress.

I do. We get it, just a tiny little bit where they are having the dom/sub conversation and Ellery describes the way Ennis looked, and the growl in his voice, but more would be interesting, I agree, Fred.

ALL:

My attempt to meet our post goal:

Not trying to start trouble, some of the below have been discussed.  I didn’t have time at the time to join in, so thought I would drop some random thoughts on the board.

- Am mystified why anyone would not want Ennis to move on after two years of morning Jack?  Why would anyone want that for someone they cared about? Why would Jack want that for Ennis.

-Ennis’s discussion with Dupree about top/bottom issue.  As discreet as Ennis was it was still probably inappropriate for Ennis to discuss the issue with Ellery’s subordinate.
But on the other hand, I Can’t figure a way for Dupree to raise the issue in casual  conversation in the office so what is the harm?  Can you just picture that topic coming up over muffins?

-While I am glad that E & E are Having a good time at it. And maybe I am just naïve, but where in Laramie is Ellery getting his joy sticks?  Toys R US?  

- Work for the govt.  This is why some ? sites are blocked and others not??

- Thanks Louise ( our Diva ) for bringing Junior into the story, for how ever long.

- I am wondering if Dupree is on the level? Is he just to good to be true?

- Agree with Pastor Fred, Some things Ennis from Ellery's Point of View would be really insightful.  

Think you guys are great, have a great weekend.

Me too, Fred!  Those first few hours really hooked me.  I don't think I have said it here and I am a little bit cautious of doing this, but I think I prefer Ellery a little bit (ok a tinny little bit) more in Louise's story, though I am partial to Ennis in the short story and the movie.    Yes, I would love to hear the story from Ellery’s point of view.

you want to know what is odd about that Jenny?  About in the middle of "Taking Chances" where Ellery is dragging Ennis around and being Mr. Deputy Hotshot I felt like I was really portraying Ennis as a sort of a helpless follower, and I thought... I have to start moving Ennis back into character here.  He doesn't passively accept things, he is an active guy and he needs to be something other than the guy sleeping in Ellery's bed.  I had a moment of plot crisis there, once he came back from Brokeback.  However I also realized that following the outpouring of grief, Ennis was going to be a bit passive for a while.  And he got over it.  And that's when I think Mr. Coyote sort of came out and howled at the moon.
