Remember Who You Are 2
Tina bent down and sucked lovingly on Bette’s nipples, hard and then gentle, licking and moving back and forth between them. “Let it go, what Jodie said. I love you. You, Baby. Let the past go” and Bette grabbed her by the back of the head and pulled her up for a scorching, passionate kiss that left no doubt who Tina belonged to.
“I love you too, Tee” Bette breathed, “just try and fake this one…” and they moved to the bedroom, on the dresser and on the bed. And Tina could no more fake her orgasms then she could control her own body as Bette took her, twice.
Afterwards, they lay naked in bed falling asleep, Bette spooning Tina close to her from behind, each thinking about the other and the events of the past two days.
Tina thought about how all Bette really wanted was to be loved. To be touched, to be desired, to be seen. That Bette trusted her to show her the hidden parts of herself no one else saw. Knowing this about her wife, all Tina had to do to keep Bette grounded was display her love for her in tangible ways – telling her she loved her, touching her frequently and letting her know she was wanted.
Bette was a tactile person – she always felt the material on clothes or shoes or bags before she bought them, she would often lightly brush her fingertips over art to better get the feel of the piece, to understand its message. Tina didn’t even think Bette was aware that she did this.
Tina needed to remember that a mix of touching and a dash of sweet talk for Bette was the secret recipe for a happy marriage. That was Bette’s love language. Tell her I love her, say how much I want her, talk to her touch her reach for her. Tina snuggled closer to her wife, feeling the warm skin envelope her and calm her. She pulled Bette’s arm up, placing it in between her breasts and held it there as her eyes closed.
Bette felt Tina snuggle in and moved her arm to hug her closer. She felt her warmth, her delicious curves, and her soft hair as it brushed against her face. She felt Tina as she settled, sighing contently. It had been a wonderful day, weaved together with friendship and courtship to create a fabric of solidarity that Bette treasured and needed. Jodie’s outburst at the store notwithstanding, Bette marveled over the way Tina stuck with her today, tirelessly reminding her of her love and commitment.
In the past, Bette knew they would have distanced themselves from each other, not talking and making assumptions. But this new connection gave her the courage to speak what was on her mind and heart, albeit slowly at times. Bette knew the key to this relationship was to talk to her wife, not to hide. To give Tina the opportunity to share her hurt and help her release it. Talk to her, tell her, let her in. Open up, speak out, engage.
Most importantly, to trust.
Tina begin to breathe deeply, the wine having a sedative effect as she drifted off to a deeper sleep. Bette cupped Tina’s breast and felt herself relax, melting into her wife’s warm body, her other arm reaching to hug Tina closer. She breathed into her hair, smelling the lilac shampoo and the fresh scent of her wife and feeling the soft warmness of her body. She tucked her leg in between Tina’s and pulled the blanket further up around them as the breeze blew in from the open window. Her eyelids got heavy and she fell asleep, cocooned in the love they had made and the love they had given.
Coming up next: The plot thickens. And more Alice.

Hi BK,
Another fantastic chapter!!!
The way you tell this story is so good, the love, trust and passion between Bette & Tina simply blows my mind and heart.
Jodie is a total upper bitch, i never liked her in the show!
I am very happy that you are a big fan of Bette & Tina and write about them and again you portray them so well!
Looking forward to the next chapter!!!
Thank you so much. Glad you liked the portrayal and know you will enjoy the slow demise of Jodie to come.
Appreciate your kind words and that you took time to read
Test
Thank you for the chapter!
I came to conclusion how to deal with this promo for the new “show”. I just thinking about this “show” how about the another fanfic, where Bette and Tina didn’t end up together and which i never read.
About this part – i don’t understand a few things –
First – where is Angie?
Second – Dana and Carmen, how?
Good questions. Honestly, I forgot about Angie until after I posted the first chapter to the story. Children are hard to write, I feel like they either become cute interruptions to an otherwise good story or they come across too old or too young. So I think I have come to the conclusion that for the purposes of this story, Angie doesn’t exist. I thought about having her appear with Kit at a random moment but my brain can only handle so many characters and I haven’t even added in Kit.
Dana and Carmen? Not sure of your question, can you elaborate? If it appears they are together then there is a serious typo or I need to re-read what I wrote, lol. Please give me more to go on so I can answer. Thanks for reading, and commenting!
I uderstood about Angie.
About Dana and Carmen – i just though that you wrote post s5 story, after Bette humiliation with no difference with TLW story before that. But if the difference with original story was even before this part ( and if Angie doesn’t exist – so than it is), i understand how in your story Dana still alive and Carmen not leave after the wedding.
Your knowledge of the L word timeline surpasses mine! I simply did not pay attention to who was where in the story line – you are absolutely correct – Dana and Carmen were not a part of the show at this point. Oh well! Thanks for clarifying, onward and upward!

The trailer was upsetting because who wants to watch a 50+ Bette Porter hooking up with twinks when she could be happily married to Tina?
Thanks for keeping Tibette alive for us. In this site, Tibette is forever in love and together and Dana is alive..The way you describe their love, the realization of past mistakes and wanting to make amends is passionate and raw, yet tender.
Thanks! Amazing and looking forward to the ass whipping that awaits one Jodie! Excellent writer you are!
Thank God there are still Tibette stories ! Just what we needed at this point, thanks a bunch !
This chapter, was … I don’t know I’m speechless …. I mean it was so good, they were so sensitive around each other, their love was litteraly dripping from them and Jodie… hmph … don’t let me start on her, what a vulgar bitch !
By the way, I love Carmen, I’ve always thought that she was the only one for Shane.
I’m already waiting for your next chapter so post soon please.
“I need to go to art shows more often”, Bette teased, smiling at her lover. “Baby, you are an art show”, Tina answered” – that was just adorable… and true ;-)
You know, I really have to thank you for such wonderfully loving pages, an amazing mix of tenderness and passion, for it truly brang me a much needed comfort after this destabilizing teaser of the new L Word…
Oh my, I know I should be delighted for the new generation of viewers but I simply can’t be that wise and calm…
Because I’m an incurable Tibette from day one ? Yes, of course I am. But it’s so much more than that…
This tv show saved me, in 2004, when I was lost in a black tunnel of dispair. I remember discovering pictures of this show I had to wait to see in my tiny european country – and I was in such a need to see it that I bought dvds in US and, after that, season after season, I followed each episode thanks to people who posted them the day after…
Following my own bittersweet and cathartic journey, Bette and Tina’s story became much more than simply fictional characters, I’m afraid – and still are – and will always be. They were my first happy lesbian couple after Highsmith’s Price of Salt characters (so obvious with my pseudo – that was years before the movie, by the way) and I shared, fully, all their emotions, feelings and so complex and dramatic storyline…
Suffering during season 2, feeling totally in dispair during this nightmare of season 3 but nevertheless keeping hope for my beloved two ! And finally, when they found each other again for good, my faithful Tibette heart was full of happiness and relief !
So, as pathetic as it sounds – and I fully assume it – , I will NOT be able to watch this reboot because this teaser make me feel sick and depressed.
I so wanted to find my dearest Bette again, I have such a huge respect and admiration for Jennifer Beals and I think they were right trying to offer this amazing tv show to new young viewers through actual topics…
But I know myself, my hypersensitivity, my deep romantic soul : Bette without her Tina is simply unbearable for me, period !
If I was able to endure Candace, the first version of Helena (I loved her character after that), Henry and Jodie, it was ONLY because I was certain my beloved two would find each other again, beyond everything.
Now, without this hope, frankly, I can’t bear it…
Bette and Tina were my life preserver for years when I fought again depression and self-acceptance : I will keep faithful to them,
All my deepest gratitude to this site (the old one and this one – thank you SO much, Jacky !!) and these so generous and talented authors like you !!
Tibette lovers like me will need you more than ever…
A:
Wow Therese, it’s just how you describe Tibette – it’s just simply beautiful and magnificent!
Thank you for this words!
Thank you so much, Zhenya, for your kind words, it touched me a lot…
Well, for once I took the opportunity to let fully express my emotions in one of those river-messages typical of me,,,
Are you also suffering this new teaser ?
Call me crazy but if I had money enough, I’d be dying to go to Laurel painter studio and the most polately way I’d adk her why she wasn’t able to do some episodes to please this crowd of frustrated Tibette ! I know I would have try all my diplomatic way with this artist since I could never have charm eough -. my french accent appart…
And please feel free to laugh to my desperate crazy idea ; and if Tina would appear later to surprise the fans ? And if Laurel had to keep mute about it to preserve the “shock” of her return, even short ?
One can dream, hmmm ? Pathetic to see everyting I’m always able to deny to keep smile on my face !
It is wonderful to see that your love for Tibette has not diminished over time. Tibette’s trials and passion captured our hearts and you explained it so well why we love them so much.
Loving your story.
Oooft! Wow, BK. I think I might have started reading RWYA in the middle once, but I wanted to go back to the start and I’m very glad I did. I can’t believe how detailed these two chapters are. It’s so vivid and richly textured. And looking at when you wrote it – pre GenQ airing – is quite interesting, too, because you had a reunited Tibette in canon and there was so much reason to be hopeful….
Bette and Tina’s bond is so strong here. I love how much fun they are. Loved the little details like sharing the yogurt. I have a lot of favourite lines but this one — “Tina, who danced unashamedly, sang loudly and loved big, so sexy and beautiful and pure.” — is gorgeous. Bravo, my friend.
It will take me a while to catchup with this story, and I don’t know if you’ll even see this comment, but thank you for this wonderfully moving and intimate depiction of our favourite couple! x
Largo, thank you. It means a lot coming from you because I see your writing as being so layered and detailed as well. Glad you are able to take some time and read this and other fabulous stories on the site while you can. I hope your brain is thinking of your next story. Looking forward to seeing what you think about this story as you follow it along.
BK
