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.

Oh yeah Mandy, you're so spot on about that line! And oh fuck that was so hard about his dad. Jesus :(
Just like NA Jack and Ennis, I often feel like hugging them all the time

Here's one that has just three chapters so far but takes a unique approach:
"Bookends", http://kittykimono.livejournal.com/#item346
The main character is Jack's granddaughter and the story is told in two "parallel universes": one where Ennis and Jack try out Jack's plan to live together in Lightning Flat, and the other with the original ending. If the first chapter doesn't totally hook you, the second will!

Hi RouxB -
Ready for some Sad!Ennis ? I posted three recommendations on threads in Fan Fic & Poetry: "Widower for One Year" (several chapters finished but incomplete) and "Roots" both by 271horses. "Roots" is complete. "Roots" is the story of Earl & Rich, a topic I would have avoided maybe but I think 271horses (AJ) is amazing. His style is "no frills" which echoes the starkness of the story he's writing. His loving scenes between Earl & Rich are not graphic but beautiful and sensual. It fills in the blank of "why did Ennis's father show him Earl's body"?
I liked "Nobody's Angel" but I found so many inaccuracies in her story that I couldn't continue reading it; it was too distracting.
"Shades of Grey" I avoided for a long time but really loved it. If you go to the "Shades of Grey" thread here on Fan Fic you will see that I contributed many photos of SoG Jack at that site.
I would recommend anything by Maggie, b73. If you are ready for some angst, try "Catch the Westbound" trilogy. Maggie is an excellent writer & captures the spark btwn. Ennis and Jack perfectly, in many different settings. For some relief from the angst, try "Del Mar Painting," again a story I avoided because I thought, a story about painting!? WTF But it's great fun, very layered, sexy and loving. Again I contributed photos to that thread.
You have probably already read them, but of course I would recommend Mandy's "That Little Bit of Hope" and "Just by Looking at You."

I forgot to recommend "Riding Fence" by no_reins/Lucian. He's an excellent, "no frills" writer like 271horses. Part One is complete, part two, "Riding Fence/An Uneventful Life" is in progress. For a story about how Ennis copes after Jack's death I would recommend this and "Widower for One Year." (see separate thread for links)
Leslie.
