    Calming the Storm Within

    “No…you don’t need to take it off. You look quite dashing.”

    “I won’t be able to scare everyone with my reputation at port if I don’t have my famous sword, I need to look the part. I always arrive with a certain… flourish, you see…” She grinned rakishly, her teeth white against her skin and Tina couldn’t help the way her own smile spread across her face, an answering ripple of shared happiness.

    “Yes, by all means. Show Edge City what a real pirate looks like…”

    “I love you, Tee.”

    “I love you more.”

    The grin turned cocky, arrogant, as Bette turned, yelling for the crew to hustle, prepare for docking, that security was to be airtight, there was precious cargo on board. She said it loudly for all to hear, colored with some clever cuss words to make her crew laugh, Tina shaking her head, breathless, her heart about to burst from all the love Bette was pouring into it.

    The crew responded with a collective “aye aye Capt’n…” stomping their feet as one to each order given, Bette heading quickly up the stairs to the top deck, taking the steps two at a time, her energy boundless. Tina watched her go with a sigh, the fiddler now joined by a harmonica, the festivity of the moment belying the battle ahead.

    When they entered the harbor it was Bette at the helm, her signature hat and flowing hair drawing the attention of the crowd below, some pointing and others rushing to crowd the deck. She stood tall and imposing at the wheel, her sword on her side, her eyes like steel.

    Edge City did not get many visitors, but even at the edge of the world, stories and tall tales of Captain Porter prevailed, captivating everyone from the smallest orphan to the largest seaman, making her arrival a huge sensation. Even her crew looked ferocious, the fiddle replaced with a curved dagger, the harmonica a long bow. The ship broke into the waves like a knife through butter, taking its rightful place in the center of all the action.

    Ignoring all the noise, the pointing, the calls to get her attention, Bette focused only on her crew, barking orders to ensure no one came onboard or approached the ship without her consent. Five of the largest, scariest looking goons got off the ship to tie it to port, clearing space so no one could get too close.

    1. Ahhh oh my gosh an update I’m so happy you’re honestly one of my favourite authors and I’ve read so many of your fics over and over always meaning to start the new ones but then get lost in rereading honestly you’re incredible and I know you’ve made an ao3 which we are all grateful for but I truly love your writing I can’t wait for more you truly get us through the hiatus

        • You’re welcome and it’s always so fun rereading even when you know the outcome. I keep reading remember who you are and the beginning. I was reading remember who you are until 3am and woke up from a dream that it had a sequel of their life with their girls. I truly hope you never lose the inspiration to write for them because you’re amazing.

            • Oh my gosh more coming on RWYA oh you’ve made my day ahh I wish I saw this sooner but I’ve been so busy finally catching up. And I cannot wait for the next chapter of black beauty your writing truly is one of the greatest you’re one of the greatest writers to exist

    2. Well, this was a chapter full of suspense…. where is the the King and the King’s ships and guards. Is it possible that he is lost or the victim of inept ship’s captains? Or maybe he has been captured by Gigi and her ships? Might be a good move for Gigi… get rid of the King and take over his kingdom… Since the King has betrayed Bette and Tina in going after Bette’s mom, Bette should have no qualms in deciding not to fight Gigi but allow her to defeat the King and go about their buisness. After all, its a big world. This is the King’s fight… not Bette’s. This would be such sweet revenge for Bette and Tina… and Gigi would achieve the glory she seeks…

      So, let’s hope that this is where Bette’s mom is and that she is ready and willing to reunite with Bette. It would be terrible to come this far and for Maxine not want to have this to happen at all. I look forward to the seeing what happens next. I am nervous with the separation from the children and I am nervous with not knowing where the King is nor what is going on with Gigi.

      Thank you for this chapter. Love how much Bette and Tina care for each other and for their children. They are amazing parents. Write and publish as soon as you can….

      • Thank you Martha. I love reading your thoughts after each post! Seperating them from the children makes me nervous too, I can’t even watch my children drive away without tracking them!! HAHA
        Stay tuned for more…
        BK

    3. I literally shouted when I saw you updated!! You are my favorite writer on here! Love this story. And all of your stories really.
      I’m currently re reading “Remember who you are”.
      Totally agree with you about genq. Tibette fans deserved better.

      • Thank you Brittany! I actually did a re-read of RWYA over the holidays as well. That was my first story and holds a special place in my heart. Don’t tell anyone but there may be a follow up chapter to that story in the works LOL
        And YES we deserved better. At least we have fanfic!
        BK

    4. Well this has really made my day. I am so excited. It’s been so long since I have been here. Let me settle in and read and enjoy. Then I will post. Of course you must know I read the last page: “It was a black night, an ominous night, a night that offered only a sliver of the moon to see by. Black as midnight, black as a shadow in the night, a thief, an intruder.” You are sooooooooo talented. I cannot wait.

    5. BK!
      Adrenaline shot thru the sys upon discovering your BB update!!
      so now we sail again w/MomaBearsPirates, CubsPirates and restless,faihful crew!

      Let the gladiator-chariot games begin!!!!

    6. BK,

      What a writer you are! I read this chapter twice already, and was just as thrilled and full of anticipation reading it the second time as the first. I loved the suspense, and the “beautiful intimacy” of Bette & Tina. and how all your characters are much more than one-dimensional. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

      Peter continues to be irresistible to me, and Gracie “with all the superiority that a small girl possesses” – how adorable.

      My favorite lines, that are so perfectly Bette & Tina –

      “She looked beautiful. Tortured and complicated but so lovely it took Tina’s breath away”

      “Because very soon you are going to find out what happened to your mother. And if you think for one fucking second that I would be anywhere else but at your side, then you don’t know me very well.”
      “I know you. I. Know. You.” Bette smiled, feisty Tina her favorite.”

      I love this story, it’s an all-time favorite like all of yours are.

    7. Hey BK, so good to see an update. I really need enough time to give my full attention and i hope to have that Sunday. My life is a rollercoaster since my father passed away 5 weeks ago and with a dear friend in the hospital since four weeks. Between work and visiting him and my sister and stepmother, my free time is very little.

    8. A chapter well worth the wait BK, the rogue got less than he deserved. I have a feeling that the boy king will soon regret his treachery. He owes his very life to Bette and the healer Lady Christina. He will never get the loyalty he craves from our beloved captain by kidnapping and holding hostage those she loves dearly. Now the children are safely away, Bette will do all in her power including lay down her life to get Tina back to them. Let’s just hope it doesn’t come to that. I can’t wait for the epic battle to come.

    9. So glad to see an update. I’ve missed your stories.

      I think this one is my favorite ! Don’t get me wrong, ALL your stories are terrific but this one has an atmosphere I love, I love how you describe the duality of the characters , both hard, strong and the softness and tenderness.

      Can’t wait for more.

    10. Oh how I love your writing BK. Your writing is so beautiful. The emotions you are able to capture in these two characters always brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful and exciting story and I will be patiently waiting for the next chapter. Now I must read your new sequel Returning to the River.
