    Author Notes:

    The story picks up toward the end of season 3.

     

    TINA-  “What the fuck does she think she’s doing?!!!”

     

    ALICE-  “I don’t know, I don’t knowbut the last thing she’d ever want to do is hurt Angelica.  Tina I know BetteI’ve known her for a long timethis is not like her, but if one thing is for sure, if Angelica is with her everything is going to be ok.  Even in the craziness, Bette will do the right thing.  I’m sure of it.”

     

    TINA-  “IF?  IF she’s with her?”

     

    KIT-  “She’s gotta be with her.  Nothing else makes sense.”

     

    TINA-  “Kidnapping my daughter makes SENSE?!!!!”

     

    KIT-  “Tina I’m sorry”

     

    ALICE-  (She puts both her hands on Tina’s arms.)  “Stop.  It’s going to be ok.  Where’s Shane?”

     

    TINA-  (She breaks from Alice‘s mild grasp and puts one hand on her forehead.)  “I don’t know.”

     

    KIT-  “I called her, I’m sure she’s on her way.”

     

    (Shane was looking out the window as Kit and Alice and Tina arrived and went into the house.  She’d be there too, except for the fact that she was on the phone)

     

    SHANE-  “Calm down.  Where are you?  Noyou have to relax   Just take a deep breath.  You have to calm down.  You have to come back and come back now.  If you’re too freaked to drive safely just stay where you are and I’ll come get you.  Noit’s going to be ok.  We all love you and somehow, someway I thinkno, I KNOW she does too.  Just don’t make things worse than they already are.  It’s going to be ok.  It’s okit’s ok.  Are you on the way?  Ok.  Now you better get here in once piece or I’ll hunt you down myself and kill you.  Yeah, you’re welcomeI love you too.”  (She hangs up but doesn’t let go of the receiver as she looks up out the window into the night and Bette’s house.  She’s relieved her friend called but she knew that this was going to be a long nighta night of the long knivesher friend was finally just falling apart and although she wasn’t lying when she told her that she knew Tina loved her, what had happened tonight would potentially threaten that like nothing before.  Shane was scared, for Bette and for Tina and for the circle of friends that they were taking with them into this painful journey.  She let go of the phone and walked over to the front door of Bette’s house and knocked.)

    2. This story was incredible (and that word doesn’t even suffice). It almost brought me to tears. If B&T’s actual journey even came close to the way this one is written, I would think IC was a genius.

    4. when i read the first half, my heart broke into a million little pieces and i couldn’t breath, i’m completely downtrodden now. and then i started reading the alice/shane/bette part and it was still heartbreaking, but also funny at times and it was kind of a tears and laughter moment for me. and then the tina/kit and bette/shane stuff, it’s so sad and yet it gives me hope… outstanding writing, thanks a lot! hope you can post more!

    7. This was just excellent! Bette’s desperation and Tina’s fury were completely believable. I can’t tell you how much I hate the ep12 spoilers, if only they would play out this way.

    8. mnj33pp here, my mouth is still open and the tears are still there. That was absolutly amazing no not amazing, i truly can’t find a word to discribe what i’m feeling right now. The way you guys write, the feelings the emotions OMG, i’m speechless. Thank you, Thank you

    12. TMerlin…You are truly are a magician as your namesake would imply. You have to send your incredible story to IC. The words, the dialogue, the emotions, everything about it was phenomenal. They could base all of S4 using this story as the first episode. You can tell how amazing it is b/c when I signed on there were about 850 viewings. I don’t know if you can continue but please try.

    14. this was awesome!! i love all of the ‘psychobabble’ because this is a very deep and complex love….i love how in your story their friends actually lend words of wisdom and tina and bette actually listen to them. hey there’s a concept…please send a copy to IC. show her what real processing is.

    18. Amazing, absolutely astounding. I am left here at work in awe of your writing. You are truly talented. I hope that you will continue this story, please we would like to see them patch things up. Tina and Bette are such great soul mates, I am just relieved that a REAL TALENTED WRITER could bring the truth out in these characters. Seriously, I hope IC reads this and see what a real writer can do. I am so speechless, I will be thinking about your story for days.(I will probably stop watching the show just to read your beautifully written stories.)You have so much passion and depth in your writing, you moved us all. LOVED IT!!

    19. Absolutely wonderful as usual. I sure hope there is another chapter on it’s way. I just have this need for closure with these two. One way or the other, since so far, the show hasn’t provided us anything in two years. Your depth is incredible with these two characters. Very nice job!

    20. wow i’m in awe of your work right now. i’m so glad your making such sense of tibette. can i just how much i love the framily’s involvement and wish so much it could be like this on the show. love it.

    26. GOD DAMN TMerlin this was fucking awesome!!! Do you have anymore pages up your sleeve at this point because I would gladly put the rest of my days activities on hold to read them. I luv how you had Shane talk to Bette because really at this point I think everyone wants to beat the shit out of Bette & Tina so they can wake up and see that they love each other.

    29. OMFG, OMFG…if I were a writer I would have all these amazing words to put down in this comment box so that you would know what power you stories have. All I have to see is TMerlin and I’m salivating…the best thing other than the content is the length, you never leave us hanging..you give us the full meal deal and that means a lot to a reader. I swear I was holding my breath thru the entire 10pgs and that’s about the right length before I pass out…see I told you I was no writer..but I hope you get my point….Don’t know why this came up an anonymous…it’s me Honda90

    32. Wow, that was so powerful TMerlin. What a perfect episode 1, season 4 that would make. It certainly would fill the drama quotient for a season. These two women are bound together by a strong love…now they just have to recognize it for themselves.

    36. Absolutely awesome! I feel absolutely wrung out. Don’t know whether you plan to continue with this story, but it would be incredible if you could take us further and in a hopeful direction. Terrific.
