Summary
"You can call me Nina."
On Thursdays nights, The Second Bottle is supposed to be about honesty and untold feelings. But when a caller with a familiar tremor in her voice phones in to confess a decades-old cowardice, the stillness of the studio becomes unbreathable. Alice is doing her best to play the professional host. Bette is just trying to remember how to breathe.
A story about the things we stay for, the things we run from, and the twenty years it takes to finally tell the truth out loud.

Summary
This was not the first time they had been there, almost crossing the line, but not quite. She knew it was new for Tina and she didn't want to rush her. Like only a handful of times before –"never like this," her mind whispered – she wanted to take her time. To savor every moment with Tina before jumping into bed with her, to extend their pleasure for as long as possible, beyond the walls of her bedroom, beyond every inch of Bette's heart.

Summary
She sighed and was about to ask for the check when an intoxicating smell penetrated her senses. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a hand appear behind her, clutching a piece of paper between long, soft-looking fingers. She turned slightly, almost swallowing her tongue as she saw that the woman she had been lusting after was an inch away from her, looking even more breathtaking up close.
Dark eyes glittered devilishly. "Ten dollars," the woman said, leaving Tina confused and a little aroused at the same time. Her voice was... beautiful.
Beneath the delicate fingers was an exquisite drawing, "in carbon, perhaps?" She thought to herself. It was a drawing of her. Of Tina. And God, she had always thought of herself as pretty, but in this paper... she looked otherworldly. It was overwhelming.
She reached for her purse. "Only if you stay for a drink," she said as confidently as she could, and the blinding smile she received in response took her breath away.

Summary
She could see the point Eric was trying to make; intellectually, she understood. She wanted her to come up with a very public relationship for the actress, along with a schedule of public appearances, quotes, etcetera, etcetera. And it was her job as Tina’s publicist to do that. She knew that; she saw the value in the idea. But emotionally, God, emotionally, she was almost ready to break the man's little neck. She had no right to do that, of course, but she couldn't help herself.

Summary
Another take on 3x01.
It was a nightmare, really. Being around Bette on a regular day was hard; she was her ex-wife, after all. But being around Bette while constantly imagining the taste of her mouth and losing her breath over the way her hips swayed when she walked was unbearable. And Bette wasn't making it any easier by being all sweet and understanding and so fucking touchy.**
Or, Tina wants Bette, and Bette delivers.
