at this early hour I am at it again.

Ennis gave me a wonderful idea during the night while I was having garish dreams.

Did you happen to notice you had an arsonist named after you?

An arsonist?      Better than beng one of the vandals that painted Ellerys house!     LOL !

although I wouldn't mind being roughed up by Ennis though!

I think there might be a line down the block for men at the Red Stallion who wouldn't mind getting roughed up by Ennis.

This looks like More than One chapter a day to me!     I thought you promised to drag it out longer ..

This is gonna seem out there .. but ..
Do we have a  Bunny Ruskin yet?

If no.. how about .. (she has just spotted Ennis in the vicinity .. well, before she discovered that masculine Ennis is into men..lol)




Actually, there is a woman who works in the same building I work in, who would be perfect for Bunny.  But I daren't ask her if I can take her picture to post here .. lol ..

oh my god, what a perfect Bunny Ruskin!!!!

Holy cow!

I was wondering if Jack could have developed and grown along the way so that he could have finally gotten through to Ennis

Scudder, there are plenty of 'AU' (alternative universe) stories which work on exactly this premise.  It's true that many tend to focus on Ennis and Jack as a couple without much reference to Jack's life in Texas, although I have tried to balance my own story - Ennis on the Couch (http://community.livejournal.com/brokebackslash/720327.html#cutid1) with depictions of Jack's life with Lureen and Bobby while keeping the main focus of the piece on Ennis.  I would actually have liked to write about Jack but as Louise has shown us in LS, Ennis is a complex character with a great deal of potential for growth, given the right catalysts.
