Well, I usually don't rec stories by the same author twice because I just pick the writer's best thing to rec and figure you can find everything else on your own, but Sheera has been doing so much more awesome work lately that she's given me no choice ( Read more... )

Ha, I think this makes a record for how shortly after a story has originally been posted that I've recommended it.

I think this writer did an amazing job on this one-shot considering she is not a big BBM fan and not even a member of any BBM communities (trascedenza convinced her to do it with a request when she did a prompt meme and them pimped it for her). ( Read more... )

A lot of my favorite BBM fics I read seem to be the really short drabbles (I swear that's not cause I'm too lazy/busy to get into reading the epic series that are still going on...ahem). This one is only about a hundred words but says so much about Jack and Ennis's relationship. A lot of their moments and conversations together were just "stuff and ( Read more... )

This 100-word drabble describing a moment of Jack and Ennis being reunited was written for one of a table of prompts for stories_100. I swear, I could never do anything like this. Not coming up with 100 drabbles or making something exactly 100 words long. It's pretty impressive that this story doesn't feel either constrained or unneededly ornamented to make ( Read more... )

"Jack laughs, back in the dirt, head propped up on his swag. The night is upside down and back to front; impossible and perfect like all the others. 'You reckon the harmonica’s bad? Friend, it sounds like you swallowed the damn thing and it’s fighting its way back up ( Read more... )

This is a great little vignette about a moment shared between Jack and Ennis one night during their first summer on Brokeback, after Jack wakes up from having a dream. I love stories that describe them just interacting casually during the time they were still kind of getting to know each other. Most of the fanfic out there just talks about them ( Read more... )

Bailey is one writer in the BBM fandom who has produced quite a large amount of quality fanfic that I've really enjoyed. Her writing has a unique kind of dark beauty in it. Her alternate-universe fic "Line Squall" was easily the most fucked-up BBM story I've read, about Ennis and Jack killing some guys in both self-defense and revenge and going on ( Read more... )

Like any of you guys that it would concern need me to give you a heads-up about this one, but in case you've been living under a rock, the sequel to Human Interest is here. Lori's two chapters into it and it's definitely quite promising so far. I'm excited.

Title: Two Crows Joy

"Watching Ennis del Mar walk through a crowd was like looking at a shard of glass among grains of sand. The fractured piece was not noticeable to the casual observer, hiding easily among the smooth, uniform grains, but if the light hit it just right, a sudden glint would reveal its position, and when touched, it cut deep ( Read more... )

Brokeback Mountain begins with the sound of wind as the opening title appears. Most of the film is generally quiet and peaceful-sounding; even when there is musical score, the music has a certain quality of silence in its pauses and hesitations. The sound of wind is constantly there in the background, though you may not notice it at all, creating a ( Read more... )
