    Author Notes:

    After the season four finale.

    "Liar."

    Helena took Tina’s hand into her own, and smiled at her friend. "You need to figure out what you really want, Tina. Whether or not that’s with Bette should be a separate issue."

    Tina sighed. "I didn’t know that when I pushed her away she wouldn’t push back."

    Helena glanced at the newspaper. "Then you shouldn’t have done it in the first place."

    "Thanks for the memo." Tina said bitterly.

    Helena smiled at her. "Why did you help her get Jodi? You had your way back in, they were broken up, and you’re the one Bette ran to."

    "Because it would be irresponsible for me to reel Bette back in just because they were separated." Tina said softly. "Do you know how hard it’s been for me, to keep myself in check? To not do what was natural, to not do what I knew would help me get her back? If I didn’t know better she’d be with me right now. She wouldn’t have gone to New York, she wouldn’t have taken that sign, she wouldn’t have asked me for the words that would get Jodi back. She wouldn’t be anywhere else but with me right now."

    "But she is."

    "But she is." Tina agreed, nodding. "Because that’s where she should be. She should be with someone else right now, someone who won’t manipulate her feelings the way I do."

    "You’re kidding, right?" Helena asked skeptically.

    "What?"

    "Even apart, you’re still manipulating her feelings!"

    "I am not!" Tina protested indignantly.

    "You’ve told me about you and Bette. You’ve told me about her grand gestures, the way she swept you off your feet. Alice has told me how Bette Porter of the Bette Porter Phenomenon so easily sweeps women off their feet. She could have had Jodi back at any time." Helena pointed out. "She didn’t, until you pushed her into it."

    "She was hurt."

    "Tina, when you broke up no long-stemmed rose, no floral arrangement, was left undelivered to you at Alice’s doorstep. An hour did not pass that she did not try to call you and tell her apology." Helena reminded. "The Bette Porter I have heard so much about would not have given up so easily."

    "Have I not mentioned the 17 Reasons Why sign?" Tina asked dryly. "Has no one mentioned that to you, because that’s a pretty grand gesture for her to commit a felony."

    5. yes, that’s how it should have been…btw, i was reading another story of yours (stand off between bette and shannen) and suddenly it dissapeared right before my eyes? hmm, what happened? anyway, this was great, i love everything you write and can’t wait for another tibette story from you

    9. Great tale, Tiff–as usual, you have the characters pegged better (I dare say) than the writers of TLW themselves. I so hope you continue this, as my Tibetter heart needs some hope in order to stomach S5, if it doesn’t turn out with Bette and Tina together. Thanks for writing and sharing your words with us, your humble followers.

    13. Yeah, the final was not a pleasant one for our Tibette crew. I don’t trust ic with anything important so obviously I don’t trust her with B&T. I will put my trust in you though to make it all better for me.

    18. Three posts in a row! You spoilt us, Tiff :) I was re-reading Chandelier and found certain similarities between your stories and s4. I really don’t wanna wait 9 months to see what will happen in s5. Please write Tibette.

    22. Took my undercaffeinated brain a second to catch the switch from Helena to Bette…Bette’s place is a busy place in the early morning. Even so, it’s a nice start at getting the women who should be together back together.

    24. I’m going to echo all previous sentiments, thanks Tiff for the stories and, yes, you should write S5. I know it would be miles better than the disjunctive tale the writers will hand us. Looking forward to any new story ideas you have so please post soon!

    25. Wow Tiff…ya know first I have to say I love your Helena in your stories. Her and Tina have an amazing connection and I love that she just says what she wants to and they understand each other. Now, onto Bette and Tina. Simply excellent! I hope you continue this because we need all the “hopeful” stories of Bette and Tina we can get eh? Thanks again for spoiling us! Made my morning to wake up and read this instead of work!

    26. Ahhh….now that’s what I’m talking about! Have been reading your past stories again..you still write the best dialogues. I really like your Helena. Nice mentionn of uh huh her! Heh!Thanks TD, and PPS!

    30. Thank you, that was the perfect antidote to an infuriating finale. Why TV’s Tina thinks self-flagellation and TV’s Bette thinks self-denigration are less painful than the potential hurt they might cause each other, I cannot fathom.

    36. And it goes without saying that Bette’s made the right choice. (Of course, that’s the non-biased position…) Excellent, tiff. Thanks for the post.

    41. That was fantastic Tiff – i’ve not been online & had time to read for moths & when I do this is the first story I read – i’m blown away – that was just what i needed! You do B & T so well! I’d missed their snappy dialogue!
