As you might have noticed, I quite like Brokeback Mountain. As you also may have noticed, I really quite liked the part when Ennis and Jack re-united after four years, and it all came out in that beautiful, sexy, wonderful kiss. It was probably my first viewing of Brokeback Mountain, on January 7th 2006, when I should have been attending orchestra practice in Bromley, but I was really in a cinema, avidly watching the kiss, that piqued my weird (but not uncommon amongst teenage girls) love for manlove. So, I present thee, my three favourite male OTPs.
Jack Twist and Ennis & Mar
Well, naturally. Nothing more about their beauty can be said that hasn’t been said a million times already on this blog, so before I piss anyone off by repeating myself further, just bathe in these gorgeous images from my 6th favourite film of all time:
John-Paul McQueen & Kieron
Aka the hot resident from Hollyoaks and the priest-become-devoted boyfriend. Pretty much the sole reason I watch Hollyoaks (aside from the much-loved schadenfreude factor), and I just love the idea that a man would change his beliefs entirely to be with the person he loves. There’s something of the Romeo Montague about it.
Robbie Keane & Gareth Bale (DISCLAIMER: UNTRUE!!!)
I’m particularly fond of this pairing as I invented it all myself, begi
nning with cute young Gareth getting an innocent crush on his Tottenham teammate in part 1 to the two men finally bunging in part 7. Along the way, I do more than my share of Atonement-references, especially in part 5, Robbie's Note, which borrows a plot device from McEwan’s novel (sorry!). Until a few weeks ago Gareth was the same age as me, and as such, I poured a lot of myself into him, something which my friends who’ve read the slash will vouch for. It’s not ever going to be a literary piece of gold (especially as I repeat the fact that Robbie has blue eyes, Gareth has blue eyes, Robbie is Irish and Gareth is Welsh about a million times), not to mention the liberal borrowing from Nina Simone and Feist song lyrics, but I do think it’s good for a laugh in a High School Musical kind of way. Especially when I make Robbie say “Bung it in”, which becomes somewhat of a euphemism by the end.

I'd like to see you try writing about Keane and Bale now! :P
Lol, yeah, bung. Can't believe Keane went to Scouserland!
i'm only ever going to say this once...

*runs away*
*laughs at tottenham*
Yeah, Gareth is an absolute sweetie. I knew my slash was so good it would change your mind!
/arrogance
And, as a Chelsea fan, beefing on Tottenham is one of the few things I share with a Gooner. They're so shit! Top 5? LOLOLOL.
typical spuds fan, living in the past...
what does the tag "bung 'em in" mean?
I don't mind the usage of My Moon My Man as a title for one of the chapters here - it fitted, but using Brandy Alexander as a title for that Crouch/Torres one was stupid!
And stop. saying. bung.
Also about the Crouch/Torres one, you stole a few lines from Lolita didn't you? [backs away]
You lot should have tried being in Emma's Maths class whenever Mr Patrick said "bung 'em in", everyone snickered and Emma smirked... it was the weirdest thing ever.
I thought "Brandy Alexander" for my wonderful Crouchie/Torres slash was the most apt title ever... way better than something like "A Lahm to the Slaughter" for Lahm/Ballack, bung!
I cried when Kieron died. ;(
