drowning but breathing

by elomelo

A collection of drabbles, long and short, about Ennis, Jack and all those caught in the web of their untimely romance. They were drowning, slowly but surely, but breathing all the same.

This is a collection of different pieces written mostly for the Bettermost Drabblefest as well as other threads. Some are canon, some are what-if's while some are slightly long and others are a few sentences. I'd like to share them with you and hope you share with me what you think of them.

Cheers,

He knew what his Daddy would say if he knew what had been happening those nights and days with only Brokeback watching over them, its shadows hiding them from the rest of the world. If only for a month or so, with summer coming-and-going, that's all he needed - to be invisible. But Jack saw him, those blue eyes boring into his, unraveling the intricate web of thought that was Ennis, smiling the gentle reassurance. "It's alright. It's alright." Except Ennis wasn't so sure it was, if it'd ever be. So he closes his eyes when he kisses Alma, replacing the red hair with black and the petite frame with muscle. Because then, if only for that moment, it's alright.
