    Author Notes:

    Early on Sunday morning, the great room of House 2 belonged entirely to Angie. The long kitchen island, so often a hive of activity, stretched out like a dark, calm lake. Silence hung in every corner, punctured periodically by the distant startup of the tank chillers. The air was thick and still, the world suspended.

    Early on Sunday morning, the great room of House 2 belonged entirely to Angie. The long kitchen island, so often a hive of activity, stretched out like a dark, calm lake. Silence hung in every corner, punctured periodically by the distant startup of the tank chillers. The air was thick and still, the world suspended.

    She sat in a corner of the couch, her knees drawn up, drinking tea and looking at the kachelofen. It was Mama B’s pride and joy in this room: Tee got her claro-walnut island and Bee got her kachelofen. Angie, visiting from Princeton the Christmas before last, had walked in to find Bee tip-toeing around a layout of dozens of bottle-green kacheln, the special ceramic blocks that make up the tiled facia. She was experimenting endlessly with patterns and immediately got Angie to help. It’d been fun . . .

    A thought – very small and alien – unfurled. 

    She couldn’t remember ever having thought it before.

    Unnerved, she got up and went to the kitchen. Almost put the kettle on, but didn’t, and stood staring out the bifold windows. 

    Lights were on at the stables. Bella’s default was that the horses were always tacked-up by seven, so anyone who wanted to go out just had to send a ticket to claim a ride. Angie wasn’t on the system, but it’d be nice to walk out to the stables anyway. She went upstairs to dress (telling herself she just imagined the ‘sounds’ from her mothers’ room) and then to the boot room for Bee’s sheepskin coat and shitkickers. 

    And what a morning it was. The Temecula Valley was a painting in motion. The cool, fifty-degree stillness bit pleasantly at her cheeks as she passed October vines rising up like low walls of stained glass, their autumn colours – vibrant ambers, rustic crimsons and fading greens – blazing in the slanting sun. As she walked, the soft thud of her feet against the dirt felt like an anchor of the best kind: steady, rooted. 

    ‘Hey!’ 

    Bella waved as Angie approached. She was a beautiful young woman, not long turned seventeen, with short black hair and large, sloping brown eyes like her brother’s.

    ‘Hi,’ said Angie. ‘I, uh . . . Is anyone on Penny today?’

    1. Hey pal

      I was so surprised when I received the notification that you had posted an update & then received several more as the next chapters were posted on the site. Welcome back & thanks so much for the updates on our fav couple & framily!

      Seems like forever since Tibette was on & still miss them a ton.

      Glad to see you haven’t forgotten about them either.

      So, I decided to read through all the chapters you recently posted before I commented.

      Was shocked about Dani & her baby!! Where, oh where did that come from??? Is there another mama in the picture???

      Angie was a bit of a surprise too – didn’t expect her to be floundering in grad school. But I can understand the reaction to her proposal being denied. Find another way which she seems to have discovered at the end of chpt 5.

      Seems that Shane & Alice are still very much the same – unsettled & unhinged to a degree. Can’t see things working out in BC for Shane & you know my thoughts & feelings about anything Alice.

      Peggy as always was full of surprises , just a tad sad that like us, she’s getting older too & accessing what’s left of her life & legacy.

      I don’t like the chef either & if she wasn’t soooo critical to Tibette’s business success, I would have given her the boot like TK did. What a bitch!! She needs to go though in the future – like near future! Ha, ha!

      I thought it strange that the chef had to rely on Tibette for supplies, etc – yet I get that funds/finances are stretched as it is. They really do need to hire that souz chef & get Tibette some breathing room.

      Lastly Tibette themselves. Very familiar actions, reactions as they first seemed to have fallen back into old habits & avoidance.. Thought the check in with Wendy was helpful if not acknowledged at first, but then the light bulbs seemed to go on for Bette finally.

      Supre happy they were able to work through the tension & realize that they indeed are the most important to one another & to make the time for each other. By the end they seemed to be back on track & supporting one another.

      So so happy that you posted. It’s been some time since I read a Tibette story.

      Now, you must have to update the Real Tibette novel as well!!

      Take care of yourself & remain safe over your way. Hopefully, this crazy country of mine will make some progress in the near future for the better.

      All the best for the upcoming holiday season.

      • Hiya mate *waves*

        Great to see you again and thank you for reading this story!

        I’m doing fine and hope you are too? I moved house about a year ago, about five minutes up the road from where I was before but a better setup for various reasons. Really happy here, although it took many months to get settled as it was a downsize too and had to dispose of a lot of furniture and ‘stuff’. My band has also taken a lot of time this year, but a few months ago I just got this fanfic itch…

        I must’ve started writing an Another Left Turn update about four times before settling on this one. It’s hard (for me) to find Tibette vs The World plots but I also had to go back and read ALT to get back into that storyworld and not confuse it with Real Tibette.

        As to your comments, yes, they’re a bit stuck with Karolina, I think – but there’s maybe some comedy value in her? The dining side of Amistad is trying to be field-to-table, plant-based food, which is why they use produce from the hydroponicum. They don’t have to, but it promotes interest in sustainable food production, which my Bette is passionate about – and of course Tina has been a gardener since the L Word pilot episode!

        Dani’s baby was one of those things that you just start typing, not knowing where it came from, and then I really liked it. Tibette get to have a little grandma energy, haha. As you say about Peggy, they’re all getting older.

        Thank you, as ever, for the encouragement and the welcome back. I hope you are still writing or might do a little in future?

        I hope also that your midterms do what is needed, for all our sakes.

        Stay well,
        Largo

    2. I was beyond thrilled to find this story updated. I have read everything you’ve written. Huge fan of the real Tibette stuff of course but of this story as well. I am going to have to reread this one as it is so dense. So well researched. You paint such a detailed picture It almost feels like I am living in that house right along with them. Can’t wait for more.

      • Hello again! *waves* How great to see you and thank you for reading this and taking the time to comment. Thank you too for reading all my writing – that is so appreciated and means a lot to me. :-)

        I did do a lot of research, so thank you for noticing, haha. It’s quite fascinating to learn what goes into a glass of delicious California wine (not that i drink much, but i like a nice glass now and then). I was actually quite hard on myself in the editing, cutting a lot of detail about the house that only really I needed to know.

        I’ll post again before Christmas and as soon as I can. Thank you for reading and have a good autumn!

        Largo

        • More stories yay! I adore your take on them. All your iterations of them feel like the couple they should have become. I’ve read too many fics where I can barely recognize either one of them. So know that I appreciate you and your dedication to Tibette. Good writing takes time and effort. So thanks a million

          • aw, thank you, my friend, that means a lot to me that you get my version of B&T. When I’m writing them I often stop and imagine JB and LuH delivering a line or making a gesture and if it doesn’t feel right, I change it till it does.

            with many thanks,
            L

    3. It’s great to find you’ve been writing Tibette again. Great idea to go back to “Another left turn”. I’d love to read how thier business will take off and do just fine. And without an arrogant-full-of.herself chef like Karonlina. Someone who fits in better to the business, the group, to the family. Hopefully you’ll write some more chapter to the story, even if it could perfectly be left like this. Mayby a little more Helena interaction with Tina & Bette, Angie of course. What’s with Peggy’s plan to sell up her business – or her art at least? I couldn’t quite get what Alice’s probs were but I really don’t care for her storyline anyhow.
      Thanks for sharing this with us!

      • Hello to you! *waves* Hope you’re well? Thank you so much for reading this story and taking the time to drop a comment. It is so appreciated.

        I’m picking up that you’re not a fan of Karolina?? lol Yeah, she’s a lot, isn’t she? But Tina was a tad brattish also, I think. I liked writing Tibette’s argument, heehee. And Bette falling into her old ‘doctor work’ ways.

        I also wanted more Helena but the story was taking ages to get finished so I’ll pick her up next time. The Peggy storyline has potential to be very interesting, so I think that’s where we’ll be heading. Sorry you don’t care for Alice. Ah, well.

        But thank you!! It’s lovely to see you here and readers like you guys are what give us writers wings. Hope you have a lovely autumn

        Largo

        • Thanks, Largo, I’m doing okay. We’ve all been around this space for quite some time, haven’t we? 8-) It’s so nice to see that some of us “goldies” – readers and writers – still come back here. Add to that some newer fans of the show and of ff. :) I still discover stories which I didn’t read before. That reminds me that I wanted to post a link to your new story as well as to the first part of Another left turn on the (formerly) chirping bird. Hope that’s okay with you. ReadBestsellers

          Dang! You noticed that I’m not very fond of Karolina? What gave me away?! LOL! ;)

          But I understand that she’s the means for you to show Bette falling back into her old, habbits, her single focus on her goal, on the success of the business. And everyone has to fall in line. Tina’s reaction and harsh words for me feels like the entirety of all the things Bette should have told K before. Anyway the situation created tension between T&B and I love when a story has its ups and downs! Way more interesting to read – if there is a happy end :-)
          Looking forward to read what you have in store for our favourite couple.

          Yes, let’s hope we can enjoy many golden autumn days before we have to retreat to our caves for wintertime and wait for the days to get longer again. Enjoy the last weeks of the year and stay safe.

          • hiya pal – yes, it’s fine to link to any of my writing anywhere, and thank you for doing so :-)

            You’re dead right about Karolina being the person who acts as a repository for some of Tibette’s hardwired tendencies – Bette’s workaholism, tunnel vision and bulldozing; Tina’s passive aggression and not saying what she wants. I like that they are still waylaid by these flaws, it makes them more 3D? Ups and downs…. no story without a few of them, haha

            Thanks, as ever, for reading and commenting. I quite like the cave months – they’re good for writing.

            Stay well
