**SPOILERS**This was a WONDERFUL chapter, Mandy
I loved it
I left the same kind of comment on your journal but thought I'd post it here too. Loved these parts:
Jack smiled at him then slipped down off the couch. After a moment’s hesitation, Ennis turned and watched him cross the room, watched the play of muscles beneath the pale skin, smiled when Jack scratched his ass lazily. He’d never done this before, never let himself watch another man. He’d known he wanted to, that wasn’t new information, but he’d always kept that instinct reigned close, afraid of what would happen if someone noticed, or, even worse, if it led to something more. Well now that something more had happened and he fought back the feelings in his stomach, those ones he couldn’t quite name that screamed that this thing he was doing was wrong, and he let his eyes rest on Jack, take him in inch by inch, holding that image in his mind so he could call it back later on some Jackless dayI think some Jackless day is just brilliant!
Jack laughed again, though it came out soft this time, and he ran a hand across Ennis’ cheek, pulling his eyes back to his own. “You are a shy one, aren’t you?” he whispered. He kissed him soft on the bridge of his nose, between his eyes and Ennis hitched a breath at the feel of his eyelashes’ flutter on Jack’s cheek. “Would you like that, Ennis? If we went further?” I loved the whole sweet, tender and hot loving part. You wrote that beautifully, with so much love
I love me a Loud!Jack during sex!
Heh and Blushing!Ennis is just the sweetest
I'm sad Ennis had to go and f*** up things the way he did though *sigh*
I know he doesn't mean to and that he's confused and scared but still....*sighs again* Somebody commented that it was like when Ennis punched Jack up on Brokeback and she is so right
I also really really loved your take on what happened to Ennis as a small child; that was brilliantly done.
As always the talk with the dead person was wonderful. I enjoy those parts of the chapters so much
Loved this little line:
