48 Days by testa_dura - Now Completed! 11/6
« on: September 08, 2006, 10:07:39 am »
Here is a relatively new fanfic, which I'm following from the first chapter on. It started Aug, 9th and has 11 chapters until now.

48 Days by testa_dura

It is AU (I'm a sucker for AU). Jack makes some drastic changes in his life and in his relationship to Ennis.
Starts with Jack watching Ennis drive away after their lake side argument.
'Nuff said  :)

Link to the first chapter:

The following chapters can be found in the author's LJ, just by skimming to the next page.

You're welcome; glad you like it. One more good thing about 48Days is that it's updated pretty frequently.
I hate waiting a month or so for a new chapter. Although I know there is a RL outside BM and fanfic  :)

So glad I found this, it is right up there with the best of the best!  The writing is really good and it is an all-around AAA+++ story.   I hope testa_dura finds her/his way over to BetterMost,

Thanks for recommending it Penthesilea, I don't know as I would ever have found it otherwise!    :-* :-*

Heya!

Another update!  It is nice that this one moves along quickly in terms of updates.  It took me a while to really get into this one, but the more it progresses the more interesting it becomes I think.

Glad you like it. It's the authors first BBM fanfiction. Hope that this story will be a loooooong one and there will be more BBM fanfics by testa_dura.

You beat me with the news  :)
I was hooked with this one pretty much from the get-go.
I like the premise of Jack moving closer to Ennis. Babysteps for Ennis, not the huge leap all at once. I always thought this would have been the right way.

Just wanted to pipe up and say that I'm really enjoying this fic too. Baby steps indeed for Ennis, but he's getting there.

You all must go read the excellent new update PRONTO!  This story just keeps getting better and I think the writing in this update is particularly strong.

This author should be given an award for updating so often!  Yet another new chapter has been posted (a little shorter than some previous chapters... but still well written).

 :D
