    Author Notes:

    The ‘Other’ End.

    Bette smiled as she looked at Tina, a real smile, the first real smile in days, and it felt kind of good, “how do you still know how to do that?”

    Tina instinctively knew what Bette referred to, her ability to read her after all this time, she returned the smile, “just because we’ve both changed doesn’t mean I don’t still know you…” the words hung in the air, the familiarity between them creating a comfortableness that sparked something different in them, final acceptance and a relaxed demeanour that meant that they could still share things without causing each other hurt and pain, they could share and enjoy one another again.

    “I don’t know if I can ask you this or not?” Bette said quietly, averting her eyes from Tina’s, in order that she not see how important this one thing would mean to her.

    Tina noticed the sudden sadness in Bette’s eyes before she looked away, and she instinctively knew what Bette was about to ask, and in her heart, she knew she wanted to do this one last thing for her, and for Shane, but she knew that Shane would understand that Tina’s allegiance was to be there to support Bette, to show her that she would never stop loving her, “what time shall I be there…?” Tina quietly replied.

    Bette suddenly looked up, her eyes alight as she heard the words, “you’ll come?”

    “Of course…”

    “Thank you, you have absolutely no idea how much…”

    Tina stepped forward, directly in front of Bette, interrupting her words, she smiled as she saw the sudden weight lifted from Bette’s shoulders at knowing she would have Tina by her side when they scattered Shane’s ashes, “I think I have a pretty good idea of how much it would mean to you… and I also think I owe it to Alice and Shane, and even Carmen, to be there too…”

    Bette’s shoulders suddenly dropped again as she heard the words of her friends included, she scolded herself at the childlike feeling she felt at having to share Tina, but she knew that Tina should be there for them all, not just her, she was being selfish and it was not a trait she liked in herself, the time apart from Tina had taught her to let that part of herself go, and she had, but when she was with Tina, she still just wanted her to herself, she didn’t want to share the woman she was still in love with, and the woman she would always be in love with.

    2. CityGirl thank you for this generous action. To let another author rewrite the ending of your amazingly well written story is beyond my ability to express. JoBadge was the perfect selection. This ending has soothed my broken TiBette heart. Jo, you did an outstanding job both in honoring the original story and by writing an alternative with sensitivity, care, and believability. I can tell that you crafted this ending with great diligence. Brava to the both of you.

    3. Citygirl, you wrote an awesome story but one that broke our Tibetters hearts. Thankyou for handing the baton to a writer who could mend those hearts & still make the ending fit. Jo, from a fellow Brit who rarely breaks cover – you rock!

    10. Jo this was amazing and totally believable. CityGirl’s story was brilliant and broke my heart too. But Iam glad you guys agreed on this; even till the very end of CG’s story i was hoping Ally would leave Tina. Thanks for making it happen!

    12. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! City Girl’s story was beautiful and so well written, but it left me feeling so bad. This has fixed everything up. Thanks again.

    13. Thank you Jobadge for “making it all better.” I am a Tibette fan and your ending made me cry happy tears. Citygirl’s story is much more realistic and probably how it would end up in everyday life. I am, however, a sucker for a “happily ever after” ending. Thank you both for your beautiful writing skills. It has been a joy to read both stories.

    14. whew! I’m a romantic softy, and while by the end of citygirls story, I had come to terms with the love between Ally and Tina…I have to be honest and say that I like this one, too. Thanks for writing this ending – really nice :)

    15. Thanks to Citygirl for a most wonderful and beautiful story Most of all thanking her for you part in healing our broken hearts. You two have put a lot of sweat time enery and love into this and it tune out so beautiful to both of you with tears I say Thanks to both, I could feel Shane smiling and saying that’s so fucking cute thanks

    16. I thought about this all day had to read again and think that I would like a follow up, of the reconnecting in the bedroon and also the talk Please please please please please please

    18. Have to say, this ending was much more to my liking. In the same breath, I wanted to also say that it wouldn’t have been half as healing without CG’s incredibly painful, heartwrenching and wonderful story. Good job, you two!

    19. Have to say, this ending was much more to my liking. In the same breath, I wanted to also say that it wouldn’t have been half as healing without CG’s incredibly painful, heartwrenching and wonderful story. Good job, you two!

    20. This was really beautiful. I loved Citygirl’s story, but I am a romantic at heart and a sucker for happy B&T endings. This warmed my bruised and battered TiBette heart. Thanks CG and Jobage.

    21. Just catching up with both Citygirl’s story, and your alternate ending. You two put a lot of thought and heart into your writing – thanks to you both for all your hard work.

    25. Wow…I am so glad Citygirl gave her blessing on this…I loved it. “Bette…make me yours again” I thought I was gonna die. Thank you for healing our broken hearts.

    28. Jobadge, we love you and this ending makes our TiBette hearts feel so much happiness. This is the ending we wanted to see. Thanks Citygirl for letting Jo write this alternate ending.This is as it should be. “Our girls” together. This one made me cry real tears. So emotional.

    29. I agree with Bailey! loved the story but with jo’s ending! It pains me to live in a fanfic universe where b/t end up apart from each other! Citygirl–very emotional story and very well done! Thank you for letting Jo write an alternative ending I think makes your story stronger (but only because I like the outcome better!!!)Jo–great alternative ending! you know how to make the B/T heart sing! always grateful for the b/t loving!

    31. Wow, what an amazing journey that we have experienced…I can’t lie and say that I don’t like this ending better, but my crazy tibette heart needs this ending, but it will be forever mixed with the original. Thinking about how stories like this are in fact real life for some….Love, it’s an amazing emotion….I LOVE this, Thankyou to you both.

    33. CityGirl & Jobadge: you really poured yourselves into this story. I’m a TiBetter at heart so this alternate ending made me feel much better. Will we see a sequel?

    35. you know this chapter was in a way heartbreaking too but i’m glad you were able to make all tibetters happy…i do read B&T stories where they don’t end up together and they make me profoundly upset because this couple began to mean so much to me since the first time i saw them together in s1…thank you both for this story…and of course i would be lying that i didn’t prefer this ending…it was different and it was happy for tibetters..but then again, it was probably sad for carmen fans and for Tinally fans…can’t please them all…so i’m happy that you chose to please tibetters and mend our broken hearts :)

    37. Wow! I mean WOW! Just awesome Jo. Thanks! Even though i loved citygirl’s story, needless to say that ending broke my heart. So thank you citygirl for letting Jo write this! :)

    38. Thanks to citygirl for allowing Jo to give us a different spin on the ending. Jo, you actually had me going a few times. I kept thinking, “WTF they’re still not gonna end up together?!” If this was meant to be more than just 1 chapter, I’m sure Alice’s POV would be written, and I’m sure she’d shit herself over B&T getting back together. lol Excellent job, citygirl and Jo, for this story.

    39. Citygirl, you’re nearly as selfless as Ally in letting your baby go to be in someone else’s hands. That was the sweeter ending Jo, but I can’t help but observe that it was only through Ally’s action that B&T got back together. Good luck to B&T and all the TiBetters out there.

    40. This was written beautifully, Citygirl story I loved, and I love how you gave us an alternative ending for all us Tibetters..Jobadge, blown away by this chapter. Thank you.

    41. Why should I keep watching L Word? Here we have better stories, with drama,for sure, but also, with real people. They talk, cry, get laid, discuss, fight, but they are also happy. Things that can´t mix (according to the LW writers) in real world. They are wrong! I love the way you write…Thanks!

    44. i have to say that was a much better ending than the original, i actually had stomach pains after the first one, and a warm happy feeling with this ending, thanks for the re-write!!!!!!!!!
