    Author Notes:

    Chapter 1

     

    “Thank you for staying last night. I couldn’t… Nights are the hardest, you know?”

     

    “I wanted to,” Shane said, draping her arm around Tina’s shoulders. “I wanted to stay.”

     

    “I’m sorry I’m such a mess. I feel like a train wreck. As much as I want her back, I never want to see her again,” Tina’s voice was barely audible.

     

    “You’re not a mess. This is just where you are right now. It’s normal.”

     

    “I go from loving her to hating her in…a heartbeat.”

     

    “The opposite of love isn’t hate. It’s indifference. And you are definitely not indifferent.”

     

    Tina leaned back to look at Shane’s face, smiling in spite of herself.

     

    “You really are Yoda, aren’t you?” she asked. In this case, Yoda in a very wrinkled shirt and jeans.

     

    “Come on,” Shane said, rolling her eyes. She stood up and reached out a hand for Tina.

     

    “Where are we going?”

     

    “I’m buying you breakfast.” Shane pulled Tina to her feet, catching

    her in an awkward embrace when she got up too fast.

     

    “You don’t have to buy me breakfast,” Tina said, her face inches from Shane’s.

     

    “We slept together for the first time last night, it’s the least I could do.” Shane winked, not letting go or making a move to untangle herself from Tina.

     

    “So how was I?” Tina asked, raising her eyebrows suggestively. How long had it been since she joked around or teased with her friends? After weeks of crisis and turmoil and tears, this banter felt like she was stretching out stiff muscles.

     

    “Even better than I imagined, and I have an amazing imagination.”

     

    Shane grinned at her and their eyes met in such a way that made Tina feel both vulnerable and secure. For an instant, Tina thought about what it might be like to fall further into the arms that were wrapped around her, to find some uncomplicated comfort within the safety of Shane’s care. Wasn’t it Alice who said that lesbians were always sleeping with their friends? But it wouldn’t have been uncomplicated. Tina was still so in love with Bette, bone deep in love, whether she wanted to be or not. Then there was Helena and whatever uneasy alliance they were in the midst of. And Shane? Tina knew from the way Shane looked at her–had always looked at her–that there was a fine line between them that was better left uncrossed.

     

    Tina leaned in and kissed Shane on the cheek, her lips lingering on the warm, smooth skin.

     

    “You are so sweet, Shane,” Tina said softly, stepping back. “I’ll grab my shoes and brush my teeth, and I’m ready to go.”

     

    Then Tina turned and left.

     

    “Great, I’m right behind you.” Shane watched Tina leave and then took one last look at the rumpled sheets and comforter splayed across the bed.

     

    “Better Porter is a ***** idiot,” Shane sighed, picking up her boots and walking out.

    2. Thanks for posting this again! I’m late to fanfic and didn’t get to read it on its first go ’round…I’ll look forward to your posts. I very much enjoy your style of writing.

    6. just as great as i heard it would be. im gonna get someone whos not a computer idiot like myself to show me how to save these stories. ITA with seahurst. thanks ffc. this beginning was awesome.

    9. Comfort Enough was the first fic I ever read. It’s the reason I kept coming back to this site, and it motivated me to start writing fanfic. Thanks for bringing it back to the site. This is one of the best stories on the site. By the way… I love this story!

    19. FFC thank you for sharing this with us again. You should have seen the big smile on my face when I read “Comfort Enough”.

      I would often go back to this jewel and re-read it. I’m elated you are giving it back to us.

      It’s like watching “Cassablanca” or “Desert Hearts” for the tenth or eleventh time…and enjoying it just as much as the first time you discovered it.

    20. As one of the folks that really enjoyed this story and I happy for those that didn’t get a chance to read it the first time. I get to enjoy it anytime I like since it is one of the stories that I copied/pasted into a word document so that I could refer back to it anytime that I liked.

    21. Ummm….Shane & Tina (gag me) I am so NOT liking the sound of that!

      That’s what’s so nice about this site… you have lots of fic to choose from if something doesn’t suit your tastes. I, for one, am quite happy that she decided to repost it, since I never got to see it the first time around… nice to see someone who isn’t afraid of experimenting with unconventional pairings.

    27. lol i always thought at season 1 how would be Tina and Shane toguether. I dont know if that will be the case here but anyway it would be interesting.

      Thanks for reposting!.

    28. I can’t tell you how happy I was to see you reposting this story…as you already know, I have the complete story on my computer (thanks for e-mailing it to me), so I can go back to it whenever the need arises. This story, along with The Chase by Shakennotstirred, are my two all time favorite stories on this site. Now, don’t get me wrong, there are about ten other stories that are right up there…but in the end, if I had to choose…I would choose Comfort Enough and The Chase. Thanks for bringing it back, so all the new readers can experience your spot on characterizations, and your uncanny dialogue. When I read your writing…no matter what story…I can actually visualize your words, coming out of JB and LH’s mouths. Same with Shakennotstirred. It is natural to want to share your favorite writers with others, and you two are who I always refer people to. Thanks again!!!
