    ****

    Short yet surprisingly evocative. Descriptive without being overblown, and a succinct summary of their relationship which makes clear the depth of their feelings for each other, along with the differences in their thoughts about the future. Brokeback in a nutshell :)

    *****

    A short but very powerful piece written from Jack's PoV. A bittersweet encapsulation of his feelings, and how he wished things might be for himself and Ennis.

    Summary

    It was as though Ennis had been a framed picture hanging at a tilt his whole life, and Jack had walked by, tilted his head, and with a single nudge, set him straight. Jack had shown him an entirely different image, one that challenged everything Ennis thought he knew about himself and the world he lived in.

    Suddenly, life as Ennis had pictured it, Alma at the end of the aisle in her white veil, eyes soft and hands folded, everything neat and proper and expected, seemed like it belonged to another man’s story. It wasn’t the life he was meant to lead. It wasn’t what he was meant to see when he closed his eyes at night and dreamed of the future.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    *****

    An in-depth look at Ennis' inner demons and how they refuse to be placated. His fears for himself and Jack due to the 'sinful' desire they have for each other is heartbreaking. And the way this turns outward into anger with Jack matches well with the older Ennis we see in the film.

    Well-written, wonderfully descriptive, with a glimmer of hope at the end.

    Summary

    As the days marched on from the wedding, things were always predictable. Alma could live with predictability; she would gladly trade chaos for boredom. It only wore on her some of the time. Still, she stuck it out because that was what marriage was all about.

    When Ennis was gone the summer before they got married, Alma had been foolish enough to be hopeful. She thought that, maybe, since they would be separated for so long, he might be more excited to see her when he got back. Maybe absence really would make his heart grow fonder. Something had to eventually.
    -
    Scenes from Alma's life before, during, and after the events of Brokeback Mountain. She learns to understand her past as she rebuilds her life post-divorce.

    *****

    Alma's perspective on her life from teenager, to older woman on her second marriage. An excellent character study depicting how her hopes for her life are eroded by an unhappy marriage to Ennis, leading on to better times as she gets older.
    This feels very true to her character and to the time and setting. A well-written fic.
