Brown Eyes:
Heya,
If any of you are following this long-running story... it was just updated today with an interlude and some news after a long hiatus. I personally, find the new interlude a little disturbing... but for those of you familiar with this story you'll know that this fic occasionally gets a little dark (and sometimes it goes the other way and is very sweet, etc.). But, in any case, it's great to see the writing progress on this one again.

The story is 69+ chapters long (plus or minus many interludes, etc.). Chapters 1-3 are also now available as audio files.

Thanks for the heads up Amanda. I discovered this story a few weeks ago and I really loved it. I'm so pleased to see an update.
*off to read* :)

I really liked this story to begin with, but I dont like the way she favors Jack and seems to
punish Ennis. I am not sure whats going on there.? But it is disturbing to me.
Brown Eyes:
Well, this is such a big story, I thought it was worth starting a thread for it. But, at moments it is definitely a more difficult story than some. Maybe this will foster some interesting discussion.
For the most part, I really enjoy the story, but once in a while a detail or an interlude (such as this most recent one) will come up that I dislike or find uncomfortable.
I agree that she does seem to favor Jack, but a lot of the "punishment" is written as self-imposed punishment on Ennis's part, which in its own way is disturbing. But, it seems that lots of different stories tend favor one character over the other, and this of course differs from story to story. So, that aspect doesn't bother me so much when it comes to this fic.
Brown Eyes:
So, here's chapter 70... and a completely different mood from the interlude. It's amazing how different this story can feel from update to update.
