I've received mail asking if this fic is still in progress, and it definitely is! The latest chapter was just a bear to write -- it was my first attempt at chitchat dialogue with several people involved, and was a lot harder than I'd thought. That and some personal things that needed, and still need, my attention resulted in it taking forever to write.
The next chapters are partially written, and in fact there are drafts for several later chapters so the next updates shouldn't take as long. This one was long enough that LiveJournal made me divide it into two parts. For people who've been asking if Ennis' and David's relationship is ever going to progress, that starts with the next chapter. This one introduces a number of characters who will appear again later -- some in only a scene or two -- as well as some of the conflicts that are going to come up.
I'll be posting pictures on my blog from here on out, but that probably won't be till tomorrow.
