   Summary

   James Hetfield is quiet, closed-off, and about to be married. Lars Ulrich is a Danish drifter chasing cowboy dreams and quarter horses across the flatlands of America. The both take a summer job herding sheep on Brokeback Mountain, where it becomes much more than just the sheep. It's something that neither of them are ready for, yet neither of them can shake.

   A Brokeback Mountain-inspired one shot type AU about isolation, longing, and forbidden, unshakable love.
