Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll

SPOILERS

“You ain’t mad?”

Ellery shook his head. “No. I ain’t mad.” As he took the cigar back from Ennis, he tapped the ash on the ashtray and then took a deep drag. He wasn’t mad at Ennis, but his chest still ached with the tightness of anxiety as he thought, will he ever love me the way he loves Jack?

I think Ellery needs a friend, a confidant other than Ennis, to talk about his feelings regarding Ennis grieving and longing for Jack. Somebody that will help him understand that the fact that Ennis still misses Jack, has nothing to do with Ennis's love for Ellery, and that it doesn't mean Ennis loves him any less. A person who has been in Ennis's place, or has gone through a similar experience in the past.  I'm not sure if Ennis is able to let Ellery know that, because he has told him many times that he's in love with him, but Ellery still feels somewhat insecure about it.

Can I nominate myself Natali?

lol.

You think he would talk to Dupree maybe?  Wes?  Edna?  Joe??

In all seriousness, I thought one of the saddest things (okay, granted, there are many) about Brokeback Mountain was that neither Jack nor Ennis had friends... not even a dog for goshsakes...

I think we need some pictures around here to lighten the mood and celebrate Louise completing another book.  Where is Milli?  I'll see if I can come up with something in her absence.

In honor of the earlier talk about being green:

Some friends for the boys...

"No, I've no idea if my mom reads The Laramie Saga.  My mom and I do not discuss our Slash fantasies... but yeah, that Louisev is a hoot!  Heath and I love Alien!Brokeback!  And, yeah, we care a lot about Ellery too.  Oh, and just in case you were wondering, we do not leave anonymous LJ comments."
