I love that you have re-illustrated everything that has been built for us - true to Jack and Ennis and true to their love - but also uncovered subtleties and metaphors that I hadn't stopped to think about before.
I'm not entirely sure why but I think I loved this - And to add insult to injury, Ennis can’t find his shirt. - so, so much because it as if it is a fleeting thing [especially when you have written it there with great nochalance], you know. Something that you don't stop to think about and then you remember oh god the shirts, and then you start to think about that and what that means.
It put me into Ennis' head, all the shock that must have shot through him at seeing that shirt, all the memories that would have returned to him. I just really, really enjoyed this for it's endless depth but also it's simplicity because they were such simple men who only wanted the simple things in life but this great love made everything so profound so, impossible.
