Gift of Exile - first fanfic

[Marge_Innavera]

Yeah, I did too! And I would have wanted him to get Jack's harmonica too; but didn't feel it was believable that it was in Lightning Flat. Maybe Jack could have kept that in his room along with the shirts but it seemed to make more sense that he would have had it packed with his stuff when he was rodeo-ing around and the harmonica wound up in Childress.  The quilt was shown in Jack's room in the movie and included that as I saw that as a kind of comforting embrace as well.

Yeah, the quilt was a nice detail! I really like your style of writing, and I am really enjoying the story, I am also really wondering where it is headed!

Marge!!!

I feel like such an imbecile, because I just tonight put together that you're writing Gift of Exile.  I've been getting there via brokebackslash and my livejournal friends page where I just knew you were talkstocoyotes.  I just love it so much.  Keep up the most excellent work.

Oh I agree, I love Gift of Exile, the last chapters were heartbreaking, I actually had tears in my eyes and I do not cry often, I will tell you that! When will you be updating?

[Marge_Innavera]

I'm working on the next two chapters, which have been very tough as they're basically a transition between the Wedding Night part and the rest of the story - where Ennis starts to apply what Jack has told him about living his own life and not stagnating. Not that he won't still be Ennis.

AIDS, job issues and changes in Ennis' family situation... He really comes down off the mountaintop and back to reality.

Thanks so much, I'm glad you're reading. I thought of changing my username but just put a link as a signature instead. Talks to Coyotes is a kind of spirit name I've had since 1979.
