Thanks Mandy for starting this thread
Helen got me hooked on this one
It's so well written but like Mel said, it really makes you ache for her poor Jack
This was my feedback to the latest chapter:
**SPOILERS**Beautiful update, I love this story but my heart aches for both of them now.
I worry so much about Jack and hate it that they are apart again
Hate Jack being in that godawful Lightning Flat again *sigh*
Their sleepy sex was wonderful, so beautiful, so loving.
I loved this part:
The angle and pace weren’t new, but Ennis felt an almost painful feeling as they f***ed, his gut twisting, knowing Jack would be leaving in a few hours. So he did what he could, told Jack with his hands, as he worked over his dick, steady and certain, that he would be missed. Told Jack with his kisses and the bite marks that he was wanted. Told him with their sex that it wasn’t just this – it was everything he would miss and still need, even when Jack walked out the door.
He’d never gone so slow or paid so much attention, but he felt it all, his sighs and little groans as the pressure in his dick built, Jack’s body trembling, the sweat forming as Ennis angled himself just right – and the way that their fingers felt as they flew over Jack’s dick together, wrenching out a climax that was both a hello and goodbye. I also loved this line, it says so much:
He moved against Jack, just to let him know he was there. I loved this part too, beautifully written and so sad:
And as he got into his truck, he watched Ennis. Like a statue, he stood, his legs and feet locked in one place, his eyes on Jack’s truck. He had pushed the brim of his hat down, and stuffed his hands into his pockets, and Jack knew that he shouldn’t look at him too hard, because it was too much like leaving Brokeback all those years ago.
But he had to look – he had to take every last bit of Ennis in. He needed to remember what was waiting for him back here, because going home wasn’t going to be easy.Loved Ennis being so open about Jack with his boss, loved him telling him that Jack was his best friend
Loved the part too about Jack carving Ennis's initials into his helmet, that was heartbreaking.
Omg, these lines made me so sad:
He wished he at least had something to go back to being.
But he was nothing before, and now, he was even less than nothing.
He felt like he didn’t even exist. But these ones gave me hope again too:
A glimmer of hope lived in him, seeing Ennis. He thought maybe, just maybe, if he could hang on and ride this out, nothing could become something again.*Sigh*
Such a beautiful story.
And so well written. I just want Jack to be able to find some kind of inner peace and I want them back together again asap.
