My stories and drabbles mostly come (so far) from some of 'them things we don't know' that I got to wondering about....
The stories are mostly canon so far, and connect into one large story that's eventually going AU.

"Quicksilver" is about Jack's life away from Ennis after their first summer. First nine chapters are posted.
"Dead Horse Road" is a short (one-shot) prequel about Ennis and his parents, very sad, no Jack. 
"Wind Rivers" is my take on their last camping trip before the divorce.  It's longer (still a one-shot), there's a lot of joy along with shadows, there's whiskey and springs, there're birds (blue and otherwise), there's lots and lots of Jack.

Fernly-

Just finished The Wind Rivers and am so emotional I can barely understand it. I didn't know whether to PM you or just spill-as you see, I am opting to just spill it. I have been feeling so lonesome for Brokeback Mountain, or more correctly, what it has been for me these past few months. Everyday is a challenge not to breakdown worrying about my father and how much longer I'll have him. The movie gave me something beautiful to focus on but also the sadness gave me an outlet for feelings so intense I worry what would have happened to me had I not been able to express them.  The theater experience was a "get away" that the DVD can't replace and now that is gone. When we started to lose Chez Tremblay-a haven I had just discovered-I was disconsolate. The family and shared experience just gave me one more life preserver in a time when I needed all help I could get. Then joy of joys Phillip took us in and my joy was restored. BUT, the move kinda changed the tone of the board-everyone was relieved and excited but connection to the movie sorted dissipated. I know that was bound to happen but I just felt like I was losing everything and everyone that had meant so much over the past few months.

Then, here you come with these stories and once again I am back on Brokeback, able to escape my worries for just another few moments.

Thank you so much-I just can't tell you... :-*

RouxB,
I know what you mean about "feeling lonesome for Brokeback Mountain...what it has been for me these past few months."  I wrote these stories in part to hold on to that world for a while longer, and am moved beyond the expressing of it that they have in any way been a momentary distraction from the burdens you're carrying. Thank you so very much for what you wrote.

Fernly,

"Dead Horse Road" is powerful. And, sadly, all too plausible, knowing what we know of Ennis's father.

Great piece of story-telling. Thanks for pointing it out/posting the link!

Jeff
