Real Tibette – Thanksgiving 2023
Angie stopped, and laughed at something.
‘What?’ asked Tina.
‘It’s just . . . Why does everyone always say “more”? “More than friends.” Like, why isn’t that the highest thing already?’
Angie stared at Tina, searchingly, then looked away again.
‘I don’t know if you can understand,’ she said, not harshly. ‘I mean, you and Mom just fell in love and that was that, right?’
Tina had no idea what to say to that. But she was glad she was leaning against something when Angie said it.

At the cabin – the real one, as Bette now thought of it – Ben got out of the Lexus and didn’t wait for his mother before skipping up the steps to the pitch-dark veranda.
‘Did you forget your phone?’ Bette called.
‘No?’
‘Well, then put it on!’
Bette got hers out of her pocket and flipped on the flashlight, now that she had the hang of it. Glancing up, she saw Ben’s was now on too.
She took a deep breath. In all the years they’d been coming here, this was the first time she’d ever felt weirded out. There might be wild animals in the basement, she reminded herself. But that wasn’t it. It was more personal. Something to do with what this place meant.
‘It’s probably in her bed,’ Ben said, leaning against the door jamb with his light pointing up at his face. His long, thick eyelashes like huge, fluttery spiders.
‘Don’t point that at yourself,’ Bette muttered.
Ben pulled a silly face. Bette laughed. And then they were in.

‘Nik’s much better at explaining it,’ Angie said, ‘but basically we think we gave in to amatonormativity, when really we have more of an alterous thing. I mean, we could say we’re poly, and I’m definitely pan, and we still sleep together sometimes, but I think all that other stuff’s gone. So it’s simpler now.’
Tina listened, watching Solly scampering around, chasing Ringo’s butt.
‘So, you aren’t attracted to Nik?’ she asked.
Angie stared at her. ‘You mean sexually, don’t you?’
Tina blinked. ‘What other way is there?’
A slow smile broke out on Angie’s face. Then she started to laugh. Tina smiled too, but it was out of confusion, because Angie was genuinely cracked up now.

Totally AGREE w/these comments. NOT surprised that the REAL Tibette fam is adorably caotic as evah!!!
After u’ve calmed down from from the Holloman exhibit maybe there’s a chapter wth yall meeting up wth the Kennard-Porters . . .
Hi Dumplin!
Yes, I’m enjoying the family growing up – working out what the kids are into and how having Alice in NY affects things. There’s a lot of moving parts. Thanks for taking the time to read it and comment. Means a lot.
Take care
Largo
Largo,
I correct the previous comment . . . DISagree that U have been “arrogant” by calling this masterpiece as “REAL”. Pfff! It certainly I S that!!!
Authors on this site have enraptured us with exquisite insight in filling gaps that were not revealed in TLW nor GenQ.
BaddAss Writers U r!!!!
hahaha, you are the best, Dumplin :-)
The gaps…. the gaps, oh the gaps!
I’m so pleased you enjoy what i enjoy writing. It makes it all worthwhile.

This was so needed, missed & delicious to deavour.
Excellent writing as per your usual postings.
Tibette has so perfectly fit themselves into each other & draw such strength from one another.
And Angie, trying her hardest to find the right fit & balance in her life & love. Hopefully we’ll get to read in the not to distant future who she meets & really falls in love with.
Overall, a gem & this will join all your other endeavours as my all,time favorites.
Thanks for making our holidays a bit more grateful & joyful.
All my best.
Coll,
Aren’t we the blessed ones who get the healing nectar that comes from creative, humorous, nsightful literature??
Glad U spoke of he “joyfulness” that springs forth
Hey D,
Yes, we are very blessed. I deeply appreciate the efforts of all the writers on this site for giving of their time & creativity in imagining these wonderful stories.
We all need joy in our lives in any form.
Take care my friend.
Thank you for your lovely comments. It means so much to me that you enjoy this Tibette world. I like writing them as a solid team in, as you say, a big messy family, just filled with love and support. Everything we never, ever, saw on the show.
Thanks, friends
Largo
the Writers on this ABSOLUTELY prove that lesbian couples can have stable ‘ships and “double-you-over laughter in all the caotic happening that “framily members” bring
Hey Largo, just got round to reading your beautiful story, you know me always late to the party!!
