The L Wing chp 35
The L Wing – Chapter 35
Narration of President Bette Porter.
I wake up suddenly – I am still wearing my wristwatch and my hand is across my face so I can see the time. It is 2:37am.
It takes a few minutes for me to get my bearings and become aware of my missing girlfriend. I sit up and glance to the bathroom door – no light or sound to give me any clues that she is in there. I sit up and look around the room – she is sitting on the window seat staring out into the darkness. I get out of bed, put on my robe and move across the room.
She is oblivious to me – I look at her – her long blonde hair isn’t tied back. To me she is a vision of beauty – the most perfect vista for my heart. I reach out and place my hand on her hair – she smiles at me.
“Hey darling – I thought you were dead to the world – what are you doing awake ?”
“Looking for the beauty who I fell asleep beside, whose arms were around my body, whose lips kissed me to sleep and who I like to wake up looking at”
“I am sorry “
“Its okay “
Instead of asking her if she is okay – just get onto the window seat beside her and wrap my arms around her stomach. She moans softly as I touch her skin and pull her closer to me. After a few minutes silence she speaks.
“If I gave you one wish right now what would it be, anything you desire ?”
“That we could spend a week here in England – just staying in little hotels visiting places like York and walking in the Lake District. Seeing centuries of history in castles and cathedrals while holding hands with the woman I love. Just the two of us – no one knowing who we are. Having huge meals every night and then lying together in front of a real fire, staring into each others eyes and making long, slow and sweet love all night “
She sighs “That sounds really nice “
“Anything so I could be alone with you – no pressures of the job – just us “

Oh Ally this was so perfect. Yes Tina is finally opening up and it’s clear that Bette is learning all of Tina’s tricks. Isn’t beautiful when we love someone because of all the flaws. Thanks Girl I love this one.
Hey, where have you been…oh life I guess…Ok, so get me an email address or whatever and I will fire off a 100 or so to IC or the head of showtime and let’s get this campaign going…there is enough upset people, that hey we can make a difference…totally agree!!!
One moment at a time is how we get to know each other you portray that process perfectly; keep the journey going
ally i understand wot you wrote about ic dont know wher s3 going but she put b/t back together so glad your keeping them together thank you post soon
Thanks for another great post and especially thanks for the rant! If we could figure out some kind of organized protest, maybe Showtime would step in and fix this mess.
what’s up with Bette and her hesitation with having kids???? CHAPTER TOO SHORT!!!!!!!
Yes! finally Tina is opening up! this kind of talk will make them stronger. I understand you are upset and i can`t believe that IC did this.
Hey Ally, so good to read more from you, I kind of guessed you might be upset. I am devastated by Season 3, it just gets worse as the weeks go by… so please give us more of The L Wing! It rocks!
i agree with everything you said…but it is so much harder having to watch it!!!that is why us fans need you writers to take our minds of the reality of the show and bring us the stories we should be seeing…..keep up the great work we have missed you!!!!!!!
you are amazing!!!
tina is really insecure…sometimes i think that she’s trying to escape something by being with bette and when she finally will find peace in her mind will she still want to be with bette? like bette asked: is it idea of having a family or being with bette is more important? can’t wait for more
I think Tina loves Bette so much but is so scared of admitting it. I hope she admits in the coming chapter ahead, please continue, this is the best!
Nice to see Tina coming out of her shell abit. I don’t know why we take the shit we do from IC either. I think I just really like the actresses.
Ahhh Ally, Jwet put it sooooo well that there is little for me to say with the exception of thank you for sticking to your storyline. So many writers are justifibly being distracted from their storeline by the antics of IC and company in S3. Writers of this sight PLEASE don’t relent and fall pray to their EVIL spell. We need ypur positive B&T stories. It is the only way that we can cope with S3. Please continue Ally, we love this story :o)
That was so perfect,Bette is so smart in how she treats Tina. IHAVE READ FAN FICTION SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING, ALSO WATCH THE SHOW AND HAVE BOTH SEASONS. VERY UNHAPPY WITH S3 NOT THE ACTOR, JUST THE PRODUCDERS AND SHOWTIME. IF I CAN SEND A E=MAIL TO THEM LET ME KNOW Thanks.
Just great mate, good to see Tina realising that she can open up and trust Bette, and good to see Bette, taking her time to understand. I am hoping Bette’s thoughts at the end of the chapter are nothing to worry about. Is Tina focusing on a family with Bette too much, that has to be something they both want. Good one mate! x
Ally, this chapter is so heart warming. There is one line that I especially like—“Real love does not come by finding the perfect person but by learning to love an imperfect person perfectly.” So true and so beautiful. I am glad that you have continued with this story because we really need to read about Bette and Tina loving each other.
The last sentence of this story sums up my thoughts on Tina. Still loving this story Ally…it can’t be easy to stay inspired with the monsoon that is S3, so I apprectiate fan fiction and it’s writers all the more.
first..thank you so much for the post. I was having withdrawals and you just gave me my fix. Others have said it but I am grateful you are keeping the girls happy. I know it is hard but that is what we all want. Ally….love ya!!!
Yes, Ally, ignore the geek show that IC is putting on. She may have Alice biting the heads off chickens next. We all like it your way better.
Tina had to kill someone, didn’t she?
It’s so great to come here and find B&T stories that don’t have tons of angst like S3 has. They aren’t always happy and fluffy bunny, but we aren’t left feeling like a big chunk of time was skipped. I’m really glad to see Tina opening up. I’m just now realizing it, but it seems like your Tina is very similar to the pre-Tina Bette I see in several fanfics. Sex is there, it feels good, but means nothing. Still not sure why Bette is hesitant to have kids one day though.
sweetttttttttttttttttt
Ally, thank you for the rant, you’re just expressing what a lot of us are thinking about S3 and IC. Personally, I’m done watching S3. I figured it would be my way of expressing my disapproval, the fact that I now longer like this story. I’m hoping that if the ratings are getting low, Showtime will realise they have to do something to keep their viewers happy and watching. But I do love your story Ally and I will keep reading it.
Great post am toyally enjoying the L-wing especially the way the story swings & sways as we might say at home “An Sceal Deas”. (A beautiful story in Irish).
Nice revelations in this chapter. So know we know why Tina freaked at seeing her ex and why she needs to know that her relatinship w. Bette is based on more than a physical attraction and sexual compatibilty. Post soon.
Yes this is good and glad to see Tina open up to Bette a little!
sigh. i’m torn about the direction of the show. on the one hand, the quality of the show is completely superior to both seasons, i think. the dialogue is sharp, the acting is fabulous, and the look of the show is beautiful and not quite as claustrophobic in terms of camera work. but dana dying? b&t busting up because tina’s randomly having feelings for men again? that stuff bugs me. see? torn. excellent chapter though, ally, denialville needs the fix.
Aley,Another wonderful insight into the heart and minds of Bette and Tina. It is great to hear them opeing up and share some of their deepest thoughts. This si a good sign for the survival of their relationship particularly given all of the external forces that could potentially destroy this remarkable relationship/ You do this all with such tender and gentle scenes. I do genuinely feel the love they share. Thank you for this fabulous gift. A Fan.
Poor ally, I’m still living in a happy little s2 bubble which is rather nice really, I think I’ll stay here
“…okay — sorry for the lecture but i feel really strongly about this.” No apology necessary, Ally. You’ve got ‘such strong convictions’ and they ‘make you who your are’ and ‘we love you for that’. ;-)
this is such a great story. this bette is so thoughtful, aptly sensitive to tina’s soulful personality…if only i can meet someone like her! i do wish to see a bit more of the green-eyed monster in her though…i think that would be fun. i haven’t watched s3 yet coz i’m from the far end of the world that is deprived of good honest programming, but whatever i have read off the net on s3’s bette and tina is already distressing me. at least reading this story helps me feel much better. thanks!
:) claire-bear, your comment “i think i’ll stay here” put a smile to my face. i visit a similar s2 bubble quite often…
“learning to love an imperfect person perfectly”… wow…We’d need more of that in our world. S3 is more than imperfect, it’s making no sense. Ok, let’s protest.
Great – thank you
