    Author Notes:

    (A missing scene from Ep 12) Tina Kennard: Only when you drink from the river shall you sing…, and I had drunk from the river and she had allowed me to sing…, she made my heart sing…, I wanted to sing again…

     

    And it did…, my life depended on her, she was my life, it was a silent knowledge that I had learned…, I learned the hard way by walking away from her and knowing at that time that no one would ever come close, I was incomplete without her…

     

    My heart, mind and body did not function without her being a part of it, she completed me before, she allowed me to be a complete person by being a part of my life, and now that piece was missing once again…, she was missing from my life again…

     

    Only when you drink from the river shall you sing…, and I had drunk from the river and she had allowed me to sing…, she made my heart sing…, I wanted to sing again…

     

    I wanted to see her body arch…, I wanted to feel her body wrap itself around my fingers…, I wanted to see into her soul as she let go and allowed me to be the one who took her to those higher planes, the one who felt that soaring being, the one who soared with her…, right beside her as she too slipped inside me…, as I grasped her to me while we were swathed in that sweetest of oblivion…

     

    I wanted that…

     

    I opened my eyes to the deep, dark sky…, I saw the odd sparkle in the expanse of the sky…, the odd twinkle teasing me as it seemed to fade and appear somewhere different…

     

    I heard her movement in the house behind me…, I turned and walked up the wooden steps to the house, my feet felt heavy, my heart felt heavy, but I wanted lightness…

     

    I walked to the stereo and pressed the button, the cd tray slid out, beckoning for my choice…, wanting to bathe the air with the dulcet tones of the words that occupied my mind…

     

    I knew the song was here, we had listened to it in the past…, I placed the round disc in the tray and watched it disappear…, my heart suddenly began to beat furiously in my chest as the I felt the impending anticipation…, waiting for those words to float around me…, knowing how those words would mean more now than they ever had before…

     

     

    I know it’s late, I know you’re weary
    I know your plans don’t include me

     

    I looked down at my hands, they were ringing together, my chest was rising and falling as I heard footsteps behind me, I took a deep breath and looked up…, looked up into her eyes…, I knew she had heard the words…

     

    Still here we are, both of us lonely
    Longing for shelter from all that we see

     

    I swallowed the lump in my throat as I turned to stand directly in front of her, her hands were by her sides, I reached for one…, I laced my fingers with hers and looked back into her eyes, it was there again, that silent knowledge…

     

    I turned as the music continued to float around us…, I turned and led her…, I led her into the bedroom…, because it’s what he was telling us…, he had told us before…

     

    ‘We’ve got tonight…’

     

    I know it’s late, I know you’re weary
    I know your plans don’t include me
    Still here we are, both of us lonely
    Longing for shelter from all that we see
    Why should we worry, no one will care girl
    Look at the stars so far away
    We’ve got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
    We’ve got tonight babe
    Why don’t we stay?

    Deep in my soul, I’ve been so lonely
    All of my hopes, fading away
    I’ve longed for love, like everyone else does
    I know I’ll keep searching, after today
    So there it is girl, I’ve got it all now
    And here we are babe, what do you say?
    We’ve got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
    We’ve got tonight babe
    Why don’t we stay?

    I know it’s late, I know you’re weary
    I know your plans don’t include me
    Still here we are, both of us lonely
    Both of us lonely

    We’ve got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
    Let’s make it last, let’s find a way
    Turn off the light, come take my hand now
    We’ve got tonight babe
    Why don’t we stay?
    We’ve got tonight babe
    Why don’t we stay?

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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

    5. 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!

    6. 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

    7. 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!!!

    8. 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.

    9. 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.

    12. 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!!

    17. 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!!

    18. 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!

    21. 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?

    23. 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!

    26. 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.

    28. 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.
