BBM FIC: The Far Side of the Mountain, Part 1

Feb 10, 2007 13:41

Okay. This is the Brokeback Mountain/Narnia fanfic I started to write a while back for my dear friend Jessica. If you do not care for BBM, or think a crossover with The Chronicles of Narnia (the books) is some sort of blasphemy, then feel free to skip along to the next entry on your Friends page. I will say that only ONE Narnia indivudual turns up ( Read more... )

brokeback, narnia

I like. It's sad and soft and calming all at once. I like how the end becomes a beginning.

Also, wah. *cries*

Thank you, kat! Although "The Last Battle' is NOT my favorite of the books, it carries some very powerful imagery, including the idea that the world we know is a reflection of the True Reality... that once they have passed though the Doorway, 'the term is over and the holidays have begun'...

Jack still has some healing to do; he and Aslan are going to have their hands full with Ennir later on.... fortunely, Aslan has experience dealing with hardheaded 'fishermen'...

oh dear, didn't you know?....about Jack, I mean... oops.

I knew about Jack. :) I've read and watched BBM. I meant the story was sad.

I really need to re-read Chronicles of Narnia. I haven't read them all straight through since I was little, and that was when I hadn't yet figured out that "The Last Battle" was about death.

Oh, this is wonderful! I'm not familiar with BBM but love the idea that Jack is familiar with Narnia and you've definitely got Aslan's presence down perfectly. Looking forward to more!

Thank you so much! I honestly didn't think anyone other than my Brokeback friends would read it; last March I thought it ironic that two very different movies, one reviled by homophobic fundamentalists and the other slammed by equally rabid liberals for it's 'blatant Christian imagery', both of which moved me deeply would be released on DvD on the same day. And I was shocked that people on several of the forums I lurked considered it some sort of insult and/or competition: "Oh noes! Narnia/Brokeback is outselling Brokeback/Narnia! Oh tempora, oh mores!" Oh Brother ( ... )

First good fanfic I've seen in ... ages. Very effective.

Could end right where it is, if it had to.

Thank you, mine own Moffett....your good opinion means a lot to me!
