We’ve got tonight…
I sit beside the pool, the pool of the home we used to share, I’m here to help…, offering my assistance to help her get the woman that has run from her…, the woman who has put that twinkle back in the Porter eye…
But I’m finding that a difficult situation to deal with, that someone else is making her eyes sparkle, when all I want is to be ‘the one…’, the one who can look into her eyes and see into her soul…, what was it we had once said…, ‘to look into her eyes is to see into the window of the soul…’
I know I fucked that conception up with honours; I had been the one…, once…
Once, for over eight years…, for a further spell after that…, and more recently…, I knew that the spark was still there…, it never went away…, it would never go away…, but I wasn’t ‘the one’ anymore…
I sigh and look to the sky, it was now darkening from the warm blue that had been above us during the day…, the air was still warm…
The timer hidden within the dark green border clicked and the garden suddenly became illuminated… The pool lights allowed the water to create a shimmer over the sparkling chlorine surface. The string of Chinese lanterns across the pergola gently swayed…, the small lights we had diligently placed around the borders speckled the landscape in front of me…
I wonder if she realised how hard this was for me…, to see her with someone else…, was this how it felt for her when I was with Helena…, I pursed my lips together and shook my head…, no this was slightly different…, actually it was very different…
She hadn’t paraded Jodi in front of me as I had done with Helena…, and she wasn’t with Jodi just to hurt me…, as I had been with Helena…, yeah I came to care about her, but the initial thoughts were that Helena was the ideal person to hurt Bette, and she was so obsessed with Bette that she didn’t even realise she was being played…
I had a mixture of emotions when Bette rang this morning; she wanted my help…, my advice…

Wow… you know, pretty much what ally said… But Pot, damn you if you didn’t trump my post! ;) So sad and bittersweet… that one last time. Oddly, though, I feel like if there was a ‘last time,’ they’d keep finding reasons for one more… reasons like they belong together. Anyway, I hope you follow this up with a Bette POV, like the others said. Amazing as always, my friend.
Hey Jo, If only that had been inckluded in the episode. I am clinging to the hope that Bette and Tina can find each other again. Jodi is too much her own woman and although she may want to change for Bette I am sure that first scent of a fine thang will have her running towards it and away from Bette. This subservant side of Bette is interesting to see but she needs to walk to her own drum and not just follow Jodi’s. Think that where their issues come from. Happy to live in this deluded dimension. Wonderfully written and crafted. Thank you so much for stoking the embers of Bette and Tina’s Romance. Your grateful and Loyal Fan.
Lament, the Kenny Rogers/Sheena Easton version was the only version I knew of as well. Bob Seger… I always associate with my father’s old cassettes, and Tom Cruise in his underwear and socks lip-syncing to “Old Time Rock and Roll”. Anyway, I read this a few hours ago at work (Skiving, thy name is jp.)… and while at first I was at turns flustered and devastated, it actually left me a bit hopeful. I know for a fact that if Tina takes Bette to bed, even under the pretext of it being for just the one night, Jodi will become a footnote in Bette’s history, to be barely glanced at and never further examined. (How I *loathe* Jodi right now.) I’m gonna need fanfics like this to keep me sane the next 8 months. So thanks for the post, Jo. Post as much hope-inspiring stuff as you can to keep me from becoming a TiBitter. (yeah, that made me roll my eyes too, but I’ve been an insufferable cow since the Tractor Incident.) Anyway… cheers
So happy. I don’t have words for this. Thanks.
See? Now you went and made it all better, Jo. Thank god, we can count on you to do that. I remain hopeful… season 5 will bring Bette and Tina back together. And if not… we still have fanfics. As long as you share your writing we’ll be okay. Thanks, Jo!
Just wish this had happen,who know if the want a 6season it will happen. They teased us a little in 4 so I really believe they will come full circle next time around. thanks
Wonderful Jo. Absolutely wonderful. Hey Showtime!!!—Fire IC and hire Jobadge to write The L Word!!! Thank you so much for writing and sharing. You are soooo talented and I enjoy reading your stories so much! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!
I am trying to remain positive and there are some possiblities that can happen next season. You and the other authors will make that pain less stressful but it will still be there. Some one needs to knock some sense into ic’s head. Beautifully written but very heartbreaking knowing that it is for only one night.
Jo,Jo,Jo. Like I wasn’t already so f–king sad and depressed because of the final episode. Then here comes Jo making us all weepy and senitmental. I’m with justloveB+T, “If Only”. From the words of the writers of fanfic to IC ears. Though I’m not sure it would do any good, since she doesn’t seem to listen to the fans. You must go farther with this, please, cos I so wanted Bette to not go to N.Y. and walk back through the door while Tina was still there.
yes, bette’s thought would be nice :)
WOW!!!!JO, Please keep this going. It was a wonderful Start. Thanks PPS
Amazing – imagine if this had been the scene we were given on the screen – You are an awesome writer and a wonderfully romantic writer and I thank you for sharing your gift with us. B & T FOREVER!!
Great song. Great post.
Good chapter and that was hot and hope Bette will stay with Tina not go to NY. Thanks Jo!!!!!!
oh god, i;m longing for the next chapter, please, please! …………………………………………x
Jo…as always…excellent!
Wow I actually love that Bob Segar song. and it made me sad cuz it kinda implies that…Tina and Bette would only be with one another tonight…UNLESS you do a companion piece with Bette’s thoughts and a different song?? No pressure really!! Great job thanks!!
Wow… Wow… You never cease to amaze me, Jo, never… With your wonderfull words you reach over oceans and touch hearts, well at least touched mine, in an incredible way… If only… If only… And keep that faith! The TiBette-ship will never sink!
1st?
hottttttttttttttttttt longer
The server ate my comment! Your way is infinitely more satisfy than IC’s. Good things can happen if you can be honest with yourself and others. Tina’s advice to Bette on the show to chase after Jodi, who’s been a complete shit, strikes me as a more subtle form of revenge than what she offered in S3. Why should Bette crawl after her and how does this represent growth in regards to her control issues? Tina keeps saying Bette is running away, but it is in fact Jodi. And if what Jodi offers Bette is love, who needs it?
I´m with Pandamel – you gotta follow up on this one.
I wasn’t even thinking of Bob Seger. I was actually thinking of Kenny Rogers and Sheena (Sheener lol) Easton then realized probably no one knows that version. I’m with pands, this is sad UNLESS you do a follow-up. And DAMN if it ain’t sadder due to the fact it’s 9:12 AM and I STILL haven’t been to bed yet. I’m going now. That 2 hours of sleep I had yesterday has long since run its course. Hell I might have to read this again later because I’m not even sure if I comprehended it due to feeling like a zombie right now. lol PPS!
God you can just tear out my heart…it’s early morning and now I’m near tears…but thanks
Great but heartbreaking post *wiping eyes*. I’m with pandamel and mette hartmann…please follow up with Bette’s thoughts. Thank you.
Hey there. I just caught up on your posts, you see I was off the site for awhile. I chuckled everytime bette or tina would say something British. I do think your way was better. Who could resist Bette. I still don’t know if I like Tina again. Hey, you know what you should do get Bette and Helen Stewart together just for fun. Maybe they could go on a date and Nikki and Tina could spy on them. How fun would that be? I think very.
Love it, beautiful
i got in from work and read your story — as usual i adore your writing – my next thought was ” don’t watch the episode ” but i did and fuck i wish i hadn’t — my B/T heart is pretty shattered. IC keeps the most romantic scene to the end – god ilene – why create two fucking awesome characters with a chemistry that NO OTHER TWO ACTRESSES HAVE EVER HAD and play these fucking power games with them ? Jo == you give these two wonderful women a spirit and a heart and a soul. A heart and a soul that IC has ripped from Tina by making her a walk on role, giving Helena her third personality transplant of her 3 seasons and insulting every gay woman’s interigity by suggesting that Jenny is some embodiment of any lesbian that ever walked this planet. i am going outside – i may be sometime.
Wowee wow!
wow…I wish!!!!!!
