Crossover Challenge: Long Standing Woman 2
“Its bound to happen.” Tina smirked as she looked Bette’s features over, noting the beauty inherent in the contours and strong lines. Bette’s was a face which inspired many a woman to weep in frustration and unspent desire. Tina herself felt the strong surge of her own sensuality, born through union with the woman before her, and nurtured ironically perhaps, through their parting. She knew, with certainty, that this power could not be forced underground in an effort to keep Bette secure, or to maintain the kind of habitual existence they had once fallen into. She also knew, with equal certainty, that this woman could and would keep her satisfied for all of her days. “Trust me—trust us.” She said simply.
Bette leaned forward then, capturing Tina’s lower lip between her own, kissing lightly and luxuriously, waiting for Tina to meet Bette in her own good time. And for Tina, the sum total of her actions would add up to a commitment to earn Bette’s trust, all over again.
Walking, later that afternoon, they were both content beyond measure, and ready to face the new day with the bundle of energy known as Angelica. The little girl wore a pair of jeans and a blue tshirt with a recycling symbol on it. A gift from Alice, the shirt had been offset by a pair of earings from Helena—the duo were now giving presents together, which caused no small number of questions.
The concrete of the New York sidewalks nearly baked through their shoes, and Bette had to lift Angelica more than once.
They stopped, for the second time in less than an hour, at an ice cream vendor—and for the second time in less than an hour, Angelica ceremoniously dumped her newly acquired ice cream cone over onto the sidewalk. The sight of the little girl crouched over the curiously fascinating pile of melting ice cream, was hilarious for some reason. Angelica looked up at Bette:
“Uh oh.” She said charmingly, smiling up at her.
“Uh oh.” Bette shrugged, mimicking the open and upturned hands which Angelica displayed. Tina laughed to see this side of Bette—so open, and willing to just let things be, to just let things happen.

I like that Tina thinks she can stand on her own two feet, but I think she’s trying to get Bette to do a whole co-dependency, without really being dependent thing (if that makes sense) which will be really hard for Bette because she’s so used to taking care of someone and not being taken care of..ya know? Whatev, I liked it. I’m happy as a hooker in dickland that you posted. PPS
Wonderful: if only the show were a fraction as charming and psychologically acute. Bette’s fears stem from her abandonment issues IMO. It’s a tough hurdle to overcome. IIRC I first encountered the Tracy/Hepburn gay thesis in a Vanity Fair article. Loved the way you worked it in here.
Aw shucks helebette, how winsome! Such sweetness eminating from the mistress of snark and gore. I guess that means you’re well rounded.
I hear Spencer Tracy was the kind who the MGM dicks had to search out periodically when he’d disappear, only to be found drunk and maudlin, seated in the bathtub of some cheap hotel, from which he would not have moved since he checked in with a suitcase of booze, besmirched by a myriad of his own bodily excretions. Is that better or worse than when he’d stick closer to home and punch ol’ Katie around from time to time?
lol…i think its better, funnyone. at least he hurt himself then, and not the lesbian he used as his beard. but…well…gross…that makes me like his acting even less now. and i never liked it in the first place, so…bah.
hb, I’m looking forward to this, but a pathology final tonight beckons me to study-I have to bone up on my tumors so to speak. Later.
I just can’t get enough of this journey they have begun. Hope it doesn’t take too long before you post again. Thanks for this fine writing.
superb!!!!
Excellent narrative. I did not know that about Tracy & Hepburn. The ideal is shattered. PPS.
Wow, I really like the idea of Tina writing a script. So when will her movie be released in Europe ? lol !! I’m sure it will be the cinema-vérité kind. By the way, can you imagine I had no idea that K. Hepburn was gay ? Anyway, I really enjoyed the chapter, Hb. You certainly have a way with words and I love the pretty “realistic” way in which you addressed this story. I really appreciate, that and all the more so as we all know this ship is not really your cup of… “coffee”. LOL ! Great job !
Hmn, I love the idea of Tina finding some peace in writing and getting to the point where she can be relaxed enough to not let Bette’s little nuances drag her down, now …. you know I love Tina (when she’s portrayed like a normal person and not a crazy beatch) so two thumbs up from me *grin* … and Angie is just cuteness
So, so good, hb. I like that Bette realises letting go isn’t the end of the world. Control isn’t everything. And I loved the last line of the story… Now then, I’m not sure, but did you ever clarify what that “one last thing” was (from the first part)? Maybe I need a re-read to see if you did. Anyway, I really, really liked that. And now I need to catch up Life Happens. Cheers, hb!
