As a rec (because I've been thinking about it today...)
How about The Wolf and the Thunderbird by Kumari.
Like SOG, before I got into AU!AU I would have heard the premise of this and ran the other way. It's J/E (but it seems like that's okay to rec here?). It takes place in 70's texas. Jack is a 17 year old runaway, making his living as a prostitute. Ennis is the hard working, poor sort who works at a gas station/truck stop where Jack winds up for a while turning tricks. They meet and....
K.E. features prominently in a really unique way, I've never seen him used in a fic like this. He and his wife, as well as the del Mar background, are all incredibly intriguing. And the story has a real first love, I want to explore everything about you innocence in the parts between J/E that is so incredibly well written. (Nobody's Angel is a good one for first love innocence as well.)
Jack's youth, to me, is heartbreaking in this fic... I'll rustle up a link! :)
edit: here's a link to the first chapter ;D http://debutante9.livejournal.com/2598.html

I love the Wolf and the Thunderbird too, Mandy. And as you know I've been asking about updates to it!
I really really LOVE KE in this one. I LOVE it that he isn't the bad guy in this fic :)
Jack AND Ennis are both heartbreaking in this fic. I'll never forget the scene where Ennis walked in on Jack at the gas station :( Do you remember that?

oh god yes... that was hard. And the following scene when Jack goes to ask Ennis' forgiveness and his confession about his dad :'(
Ennis is reallly unique in this fic, too. This fic constantly reminds me of his line "You may be a sinner but I ain't yet had the opportunity"... I keep calling it innocence because I don't know what else to call it, but I think she's really captured Ennis.
