Hey Sister! If you need any more recs, let me know cuz I've got a million of them. Do you prefer completed works?

I'd been looking for a new story recently and discovered one that I really like based on a recommendation, so I thought I'd pass it along.
It's called The Outland by wildcolumbine. Here's a link to chapter 1 http://wildcolumbine.livejournal.com/5364.html
I've only read 4 chapters so far, but I think it's really very strong as far as I've read. The writing is good and the premise is interesting. It's one of those stories that begins with the basic idea that Jack survives the accident (and/or attack) in Texas and Ennis has a realization/ decides to help Jack and commit to him as a result.
It's complete in 16 chapters.

Hi Roux!
I'd love some recommendations! Complete stories, are of course, nice... but, completeness isn't a requirement for me. As long as the story still seems "active" with the author updating relatively frequently, that's good enough for me.
Thanks Bud!
:)

The writing is high quality, for sure. One of the things that makes the story unique is that it is based more on the short story than the movie and it has a very authentic feel to it. This Jack and Ennis are both as "rough-mannered, rough-spoken, inured to the stoic life," as AP described and the writer uses the physical descriptions of J&E from the ss throughout the story. The writer has an amazing talent for keeping the story raw and real, but at the same time beautiful and light and full of promise. Even though the story is complete, I do hope she revisits this pair occasionally.

I'm now up to chapter 10 in The Outland. And, I definitely continue to recommend it. It's very smart.

I would love to do a chat session for fic recommendations-maybe on a regular basis (?). Anybody interested?
