Nothing much I can add to what the others have said about the last few chapters.  You captured Dupree’s internal struggles, his hesitation and his guilt so brilliantly and convincingly.  Inasmuch as I love to read about Ennis and Ellery, these chapters about Dupree’s first sex experience with man just could not spare me a minute to think of them at all.  It’s not just about how hot and erotic the sex was, it’s more about how he began to face his feelings and the interactions between him and Nick that gripped my heart totally.  And I want to say I’m happy for Jeeves, I just hope Lance will prove to be worthy of Jeeves who I have grown to like a lot.



Here, here! I totally agree! I don't know how much more perfectly the picture of this whole encounter between Nick and Dupree (the better part of seven chapters too, whew!) could have been created in my mind. The constant mix of the physical, as well as mental details of the "experience" were perfectly described.

And as far as Jeeves is concerned, I too hope that he can be a more contented and happy person after the evenings events. I was concerned for him at first, and very happy to see him allowed the necessary "pleasures" in life. Lance better be good to him.  >:(

I have to say I have a bit of partiality to Beefy!Ennis myself - something about those pillow-like pecs...

Morning, y'all!
Well, it's still morning here.    ;D
I have survived 'Turkey Day' and yesterday, I was up at 5 A.M. to go shopping.  We were home by 7:30.  It's the one day of the whole year I can get my DH into a store.   :laugh:

I agree, beefy!Ennis is yummy.  Of course, beefyJake and beefyHugh are positively drool-worthy!   :P  *slurp*

Loving these chapters about Dupree's first gay 'sexperience'!   ;)  The poor boy - so confused, such angst!

This entire saga has helped me to get over the tragedy that is BBM so much.  The end of the movie had me so depressed, it had triggered a mini-relapse of my PTSD symptoms for the past several months.  I should have known better, as I really don't handle sad stories well.

Thank goodness for Louise and the LS and fanfiction in general.  
Have an excellent weekend, y'all!
