I'm sorry to hear this Bud! I recommend giving 48 Days and Book of Dreams another try at some point. Maybe someday when you're really hunting around for a new story to begin reading. I think those two stories are true classics in the world of BBM fanfic. I do recall that it took me some time to get into 48 Days way back long ago when I started reading it. But now they're some of my favorites.

Yeah, I really am looking for something new to read (if feels like I´ve read EVERYTHING) so I think I will give them another chance. :)

I haven't read 48 days/BoD either.
I seem to recall I saw a synopsis somewhere, way back when, to the effect that it was a spiritual/religious fic that took place in the afterlife....? Am I completely misremembering that, or is that really the premise for the storyline of those fics?

I think you must be mixing the description up with another story. That's not the synopsis for 48 Days or Book of Dreams. There's nothing religious/supernatural or spiritual about the stories. They're both very down to earth stories.
48 Days is about the circumstances leading up to how Jack and Ennis move in together along with Bobby. And Book of Dreams is the sequel. Both stories are about their struggles to establish a routine domestic life together, and fitting their children into their lives. One of the nice things about both stories is the Testa Dura created some very good and compelling "other characters."
I'd say in a nutshell that they're domestic/relationship oriented stories.

Thank you, Amanda!
I'm hereby giving those fics a healthy shove upwards on my list over "must reads".
