Lake Geneva by B73
« 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:

following chapters can be accessed with the "next entry" link.

Enjoy...

Awsome Leslie! I plan on starting it tonight... I've been reading Mason Dixon and Portrait of a Farmer and love them both, so I'm excited about this one  :)

Chapter 14 is up:  http://b73.livejournal.com/44105.html

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???

I finally sat down and read this and from ch. 1 could not walk away. I'm continually amazed how beautiful this author's writing is, this story blew me away!  :)
