Hi there.

I've posted a on-shot to Brokeback Slash called "The Weakness In Me"

http://community.livejournal.com/brokebackslash/557665.html

This is not part of my crossover series, but rather a one-off J/E only fic.

Enjoy!

Hi Alexis,

For whatever reason, I can't log in to LJ today... so here is my comment...

I really liked that you showed Ennis having some self-awareness in your fic.  He knows he is being led by fear, he knows he has hurt Jack.  He might still be powerless to make changes, but there is something to be said about at least realizing how your actions have impacted others.

I think Ennis is a bit self-aware.  I think he has to be in order to hold back and not let his emotions lead him.  Because if they did, he would have said yes to Jack when he came back after 4 years, or even if they came off the mountain.    I always felt Ennis was very emotional in general, perhaps not in the traditional sense, but anger was certainly an emotion he displayed frequently and I am sure a lot of that was due to his inability to be/do what he wanted.  If that makes sense. :)

I guess it's maybe a question of which emotion he is letting lead him... e.g. fear leads him to say 'no' to Jack (i would suggest, of course, that there is more to him saying no than just 'fear'), angers leads him to get into fights, i think embarrassment leads him to start dating Cassie (that all happened after the scene with Alma in the kitchen), and, in the end, love leads him to Jack's parents?
