That was one of my favorites too. I still remember reading it, and I haven't revisited the story for several weeks. I'm planning on reading it again from chapter one tomorrow probably. There are so many great lines in the story, but I'm reluctant to mention any of them because I don't want to give anything away before you have finished reading it. :)
Kerry:
When Ennis was a little boy his mother would tell stories to Junie at night, fairy tales about princes on white horses, rescuing the fair maiden in the tower or saving her from the gnarled hands of the evil witch. K.E. thought the stories were stupid and never stuck around to listen. But Ennis always curled up next to Junie on her pink sheets to hear their mother spin her tales. It wasn’t the stories themselves he found so fascinating, except for the ones where dragons spouted fire and had teeth like splintered needles. It was his mother’s voice he loved and the spell she seemed to effortlessly weave, like a glimmering cloud all around them in the dim bedroom, creating a world that was safe and enchanted, where every ending was happily ever after. When she’d died the spell had been broken and Ennis had never found anyone who could cast it again. Until now, until Jack. What they had together, right in this moment, felt like magic and Ennis didn’t want to be the one to break the spell.
Please, please, please tell me, Amy, that you are submitting manuscripts to publishers. You have a wonderful gift. I also suspect that you probably hold a substantial share portfolio in "Kleenex Inc." :'(

Wow, coffeecat! You found the perfect pic! That's exactly how I saw Amy's bad boy Jack. ANd I still think Shades is the best BBM AU ever written. If anybody deserves to be published, it's Amy. I can see her writing something like the Cold Case episode Forever Blue.

Amy, please feel free to start a thread for your original story if you want to share it discreetly. I know publishers don't like content being put on the internet, but there is nothing to keep you from friends-locking an LJ with your manuscript. Our mission in Fan Fiction is to expand into original writing wherever someone is working on something and wants to share.
