Brokeback Mountain Recs
Ugh, I keep forgetting I'm supposed to be posting at DW -- I open LJ and type a bunch of stuff and then remember. I'll get there.
Anyway, for some reason I started reading Brokeback Mountain fic today and found some pretty good stories. Here they are, for posterity and anyone else who's interested.
A Various Language by Destina (Ennis/Jack, R)
The summary says it all: This is the happy ending they deserved. If you want a well-written fix-it fic, try this one. :)
Her Daddy Was by
moony (Junior, Ennis, past Ennis/Jack, PG, character death)
This is a future fic in which Junior tries to learn a little more about her dad. The ending made me sniffle.
Five Things They Never Talk About, Plus One More Thing by cathalin (Ennis/Jack, NC-17, rimming)
This one is short and painful and beautifully written.
Something Precious by Lintelomiel (Ennis/Jack, NC-17)
This one is in my favorite category, porn with feelings (\o/), a gapfiller for Ennis and Jack's second night in the tent. ♥
A Casual Match by
frayach (Ennis/Jack, NC-17)
This fic, set near the end of their time together from Jack's POV, pretty much sliced me to ribbons. Perfectly captures the ache of canon.
In Country by cathalin (Ennis/Jack, NC-17, Vietnam War AU, racist language, minor character death)
This fic imagines Ennis and Jack meeting as soldiers in the Vietnam War. The author changes their power dynamic a little from canon (Jack is Ennis's commanding officer), and the wartime backdrop adds a different sort of urgency to their relationship.
Recompense by Rave (Ennis/Jack, R/NC-17)
Finally, I'm reccing this one for the gorgeous, visceral prose that captures Jack's increasing desperation.
If you see something you like, throw a comment the author's way. :)
