This is possibly as close to Jack's thoughts at this time as I've ever read, IMHO. Sad though it is, I'm sure Jack would've talked himself back up to Ennis - for sure. Not that I agree with that and I'm a sucker for those stories where Jack finally persuades Ennis, but still, realistically...(!)
I'd love it if you continued this storyline with another - maybe an angsty meet-up-again AU tale.
Thank you for writing this for our reading pleasure!

Wow, thank you so much! :D
I agree...I think no matter what, Jack would've ended up going back to meet Ennis if he could, even knowing things would probably never change, :/
I love those AU's where Jack finally persuades him too, and I've wanted to write one for years, so I do kind of like the idea of continuing this all angsty with an eventually happy ending...cause 99% of the time I can't do angsty without a happy ending, lol
So yeah, eventually, I'd like to do that but it'll definitely be awhile from now because I've got some other WIP's I'd like to wrap up before I tackle any new ones, but after that I could tackle this, ^^
Great job! I love how powerfully the two simple lines of implied dialogue carry this piece. Welcome to Brokeback Mountain slash. Pull up a log and stay awhile!
I definitely hope to be writing some more for these two, maybe a couple more oneshots sometime soon and then something longer when I have my other stuff in more manageable control, lol
I love how you jumped into Jack's mind and I can imagine him sitting outside his house sipping a drink thinking on all of this. If only Ennis was willing to meet him half way a little more. Joe

Thanks so much!
Yeah...things definitely would've gone much better for the two of them if only Ennis was a little better at compromise and putting just a little more into making things work.

Hopefully, there will be more for this that I can take AU at some point in the future, though it'll be awhile, lol
