    Author Notes:

    This is a stand alone Bette and Tina short story.

    “Feelings for men….feelings for men…..feelings for men.” The words continued to echo, bouncing off the empty walls inside Bette’s head. “Feelings for men…men…men.”

    With a start, Bette’s eyes popped open, and in a panic she whipped her head from side to side, trying to remember where she was. Letting out a sigh of relief, she settled back into her body, realizing she was still sitting lotus style in her meditation class. Closing her eyes again she prayed with all her might that she could, even if for a moment, forget those three devastating words…words that were eating her up inside.

    She struggled with trying to understand the origination of Tina’s shocking admission, racking her brain for any indication in the past of Tina expressing a desire to be with men again. Nothing…there was absolutely nothing in their eight years together that would have somehow prepared Bette for what she heard last night. In fact, she remembered a time about three or four years into their relationship, when she had asked Tina if she would like them to incorporate a strap-on into their lovemaking. Tina had responded with a resounding no. She had said she wanted no reminders of the mostly mediocre sex life she’d had with men, and that having Bette’s talented and knowing fingers inside of her provided more stimulation than she had ever received before.

    “Why now Tina?” Bette whispered to herself. What changed for her partner that she would now have these feelings? Is this why Tina had refused any kind of physical intimacy with Bette over the last six months? Is this why Tina has been so vocal about me getting a job, because she is determined that I be the main breadwinner once again, and we go back into more clearly defined roles? Does she not trust me to be the one at home taking care of Angelica?

    The questions were coming fast and furious, again echoing inside her head, creating a loud buzzing noise that caused her ears to ring. After several minutes of unsuccessfully trying to quiet her thoughts, and slow her heartbeat, Bette realized that she was not going to be able to find that deeper, peaceful level of consciousness that she craved tonight. Silently, she unfolded her body into a standing position, and as unobtrusively as possible, rolled up her mat and headed out to her car.

    4. This was beautiful. I know I am a little emotional right now, but I cried. Please say this was inspired by some spoiler and this is what is really gonna happen…~doing my Tibette dance, my dance for love! Thank you for sharing.

    9. I see my long ago interpretation of those lyrics was spot on. I can see your need to make this be one long chapter as we needed to experience it without interruption. At least Josh was understanding. I swear if we had this scene on the show, it would far surpass the pilot and OMFG combined. I would just hope they wouldn’t stop where you did. lol Thanks for this. :)

    12. Seahurst!!!!! :) Thanks for this story. I appreciate your detailed rendition of Tina’s emotional evolution out of the painful state of affairs that’s been plaguing them. It was nice to get lost and then find a some triumph in one all-encompassing chapter. I look forward to the next one from you. (TMerlin)

    15. Amazing..you captured everything that has been going thru my head with this show/season. Your description of tina is bang on with her behaviour and so true in life. Thankyou for not splitting that up, thankyou for giving this wonderful view of their life and how we all want it to be for the show and for us…Pls we need you to write more we need you to break open another of your wonderful stories, complete with love, drama, angst and committment pls think about it…thankyou for this!!!!!

    16. At times, some of an artist’s best work is extracted through torment or conquering personal demons. This is certainly one of your most outstanding stories, full of passion and anguish and ending in passion and hope. I truly hope that your have been able to work through these personal difficult times. I hope that this was cleansing for you. I hope….

    17. Thank you for this story Seahurst, it was absolutely wonderful! You are a very talented writer. Does anyone know what IC’s address is, because we need to send this to her!! This is exactly the way that it should be in the show!! Thanks again Sea!

    19. OMFG WOW really amazing i have to admit i have been very disheartened with this seasons turn of events to say the least the depth you have just gone to to try and relay what maybe happening with these to is excellent maybe someone will tae head of your happy ending (hopefully) or theres gonna be some damn pissed off tibette shippers out so watch out ic lol glad you came back with this thankyou uve made my evening

    21. That was a wonderful job of taking all the little bits the show has dropped in and then run away from, and making something coherent of them. It was so sad when Bette thought she was going to get the kiss-off. (No disrespect to Mr. Buble or the 34th St remake, but if you’re not familiar, try the Drifters’ version of the song and the Maureen O’Hara/Natalie Wood version of the movie. You won’t be disapointed.)

    24. Once again a wonderful story. If only we could see this on the show, but it will never be this way, not even the creator of these two characters write them with such caring.

    25. Seahurst, hats off to you!!! This has to be one of the most sensual, sexual stories that I’ve read in a long time…I only wish that it was going to continue. Thank you for sharing this with us.

    26. No one writes Bette and Tina with as much passion and perfection as you do, Seahurst. You chose well in posting it as a single story so we could feel the totality of its flow and power.

    28. This story is excellent and beautiful. You make me cry and happy at the same time Sea and this is lovely and hope in the show will end happy like this. Ok thanks for this story, love it!

    29. As always Seahurst, you take a seed of hope and plant it and nurture it such that it blossoms into the strongest oak tree. I’m glad you posted this as a single chapter – a touch stone for the forlorn – and many tibetters are indeed suffering right now. Thanks for taking the time to write this amazing short story featuring our favourite couple!

    33. Awww… that was ….it was just….. damn! That was sweet, amazing, great, and very touching! I am a relativiely new mom; so, I empathizes with Tina about the issues she’s having with her body. This story was very well written. I love the sensitivity that Bette has toward Tina and her body. (happy sigh) This is so refreshing. I think I’ll go and read it again. Thanks for writing it.

    34. Its THEULTIMATE Bette and Tina story. No matter what happens…I will believe!Do you need any stamps? How about an envelope? IC “You’ve got mail!” More please…

    35. i agree with everyone, so beautiful, the show really needs this scene and i wish we would have it…thank you for giving us hope….i believe as well

    37. Oh, Seahurst you are the best….nobody knows Bette and Tina the way you do!This would be a perfect way for this to play out. They can still struggle, fight and raise Angelica together. Send this in to the competition please. I have been hoping that you would write something soon….THANK YOU!

    42. Good God, that was truly amazing Sea. Oh how I wish your version is the version we will see this season. A girl can dream right? And damn that ending was hot!

    43. Seahurst…you never cease to amaze me with your beautiful and talented writing abilities. Once again, you’ve taken several moments of heartbreak and confusion and instilled insight, passion, truth, and love. I can only hope that writing this particular chapter was as cathartic for you as it was for Bette and Tina. Pain, mistrust..all insecurities must consume themselves by a fire of truth before rising anew from the ashes as a great love. A love for another…a love for life…a love that is unconditional…a love that is like no other. Thank you Seahurst for this beautiful insight to healing and finding lost love.

    44. Nice..you have managed to make me like S3 Tina for the moment. Your ending was sexy and loving. If you feel so inclined to write a sequel, by all means do so. Also looking forward to “”ut it up to your ear…”

    45. ok….I’m sitting here with tears in my eyes. Just when I had resigned myself into thinking that maybe it is time for both of them to move on, you gave me something to hope for. Wow….dare we hope?

    49. I’m speechless.. This is THE BEST Tibette S3 story I’ve ever read on this site.. Just amazing, esp how you were able to capture Tina’s emotions and feelings.. Becuz that is exactly how I see her this season, as I do believe that Tina has so much work to do on herself, Damn woman, you got it all here.. Thank you for such a wonderful read..

    55. This IS perfect. You really described the feeling and mental problems both Tina and Bette are having, the dilemma’s through their minds. I feel Tina in this story and I agree with what she did, her emotions are still raw. I just wished that IC could have portrayed this love like you.

    56. Sea, this was so beautiful! Thank you for this. I think we all needed this. You’ve literally brought tears to my eyes, felt the pain Bette was feeling, the dawn of understanding, for Tina, and felt the hope and joy both were feeling. Thank you for going through the thought process of both Tina and Bette. And I’m really glad that you’ve kept this as one chapter and not split it up into two, although I would’ve gladly waited for the 2nd chapter if you’d done that. I am still trying to be optimistic that IC would give our girls a break and have them back together.

    57. OMG…you had me captivated thru the whole story. This was amazing. I wish it would go this way on the show. And I still have hope for them. I’m not giving up. Thank you for sharing this.

    61. I’m reading this before the show comes on tonight – it will keep me from depressed.Tender, sincere, hopeful – thank you for this wonderful short story. And I hear they do have great clams in Santa Barbara ;).

    63. Seahurst, this post was absolutely beautiful, touching, wonderful and any all superlatives that I can not think of at the moment. If you have not counted them, you have received 81 comments already and mine makes 82. That is the first time that I have seen that many comments on one story. Amazing and incredible. That is probably a record number of comments, which speaks to your amazingly incredible talent for writing. Thanks so much for sharing this story with us. It is something that we all want to see on the show and we know we never will and that makes your story so much more poignant for us. thank you. Thanks for this post. It really does call for another installment, Part two. Just wonderful.

    64. Ok I think I cried, no I know I cried. Fuck Seahurst, ok someone write a story with them breaking up cause this story has sparkled hope in me that I no longer believe I should have. God damn it, I just wish I would get over this couple already. I guess reading stories like this won’t help me achieve this. Wonderfully painful Seahurst.

    69. WOW! this was absolutely wonderful – thank you for taking this where the writers on the show won’t – the romance and love I long for is in your wonderful wonderful story. It affirms my life and love and I truly am grateful for this gift.

    71. **** First – Your writing is always a pleasure to read and reread – amazing time and time again. **** Second – I love the song ‘Save The Last Dance For Me’ – the lyrics fit so well into your story. **** Third – I do BELIEVE … even though my S3 TiBette heart is broken. Thank you so much for writing and sharing. *millions of smiles to you!*

    73. Thanks for your insights. You are so dead on, it’s scary. I still have faith they will bring our girls together, but not as beautifully as you did. THEY NEED TO HIRE YOU!!!!!

    75. All caught up now. Your ability to connect and convince is unbelievable. This story was a breath of fresh air and an inferno of passion. Damn, you’re good.

    76. Admittedly, I am pretty much speechless. Your standalone left me feeling and wanting every word, every action, to be true of Bette and Tina. It is my fondest wish that S4 will have the same touch of magic that your stories provide. Thank you for such incredible writing.

    77. OMG! This story was amazing and literally moved me to tears. Thank you so much for helping restore my faith in Tina/Bette. I loved how you put into perspective everything that has made Tina act like such a bitch lately. The story was great, now lets just hope Tina and Bette can make it work on the show (crosses fingers). Amazing, I am in awe!

    79. Beautifully written. Hey you should have penned this for IC. If T & B don’t get together this season, perhaps you should submit it for S4. I like this realization that Tina had. Fantastic work, keep it up.

    81. FUGGIN AMAZING!I really loved the end bit, where bette took her to the mirror, and told her how much she loved her body, if only Ilene and co. had you lot as writers, it would an even better show!thanks for this

    83. Awesome as always. Great to see you coming back. And, yes, you really should send this to IC. Heck, while you’re at it send it to Jennifer Beals, as well. You know how she believes in Bette and Tina. I think she has some pull with IC. Wonderful job, Sea!

    84. I am in awe of what ive just read,to be honest ive read it twice,the first time it got to me so much i litterally couldnt comment but knowing id be back i still dont know what to say except a big thankyou for putting into words what we all want to see happen….it was truly beautiful,just look at all the wonderful comments i hope you youve got a huge smile on your face after reading them because every one of them is so deserved again Thankyou for shareing you amazeing talent

    89. Sea, what can I say that has not already been said. You are incrediable and amazing writer. You know how much I care and love your writing. You truly have captured the true meaning of romance and love. Please keep it up girl and find that warm space in your heart again. Love ya always, T. (sweettiger07)

    90. Seahurst..you are fucking amazing! I have felt bad for Tina in S3..she is being a bitch..but I think you hit the nail on the head. These are the thing that are going through her mind and she needs to find true forgiveness and trust. Now if you can only get IC to write this…I will take if for the last episode of S3. thank you and please write more for us.

    97. this, as well as your last post, is your best work ever, from what i’ve read at least. thanks for this Sea. it is clear how much work went into it and it’s a shame that we will not see anything as close to how beautiful this is on the show.

    98. My friend Bette once said “I am not giving up. I’m not gonna end up sad and alone and full of regret” and this is exactly what´I´m doing about B&T, I´m not giving up on those two. THANK YOU for this wonderfull chapter full of hope. Clapping my hands. You made my day with this.

    99. So…as many people hav said before that was amazing. You are amazing. Yes, I too have lost faith in the show. I no longer care what happens to any of the characters but you make we long to care. I wish with all my heart that the power that be in the L word universe have read this. Maybe we can have something like this at the end of season three. Would it be too much to ask that it happen next week?

    101. This was beautifully, well written, and I must say it touched my heart. I wish Tina wouldve came to her senses early like in this story than she did on the show..too much hurt on Bette for a one time mistake smh so sad
