Community

Because this summer hiatus feels more unbearable than usual (need I explain why?), I've decided to start a Tom/Lynette community to help all the fans of this pairing to get through the summer.  Featuring contests, fanfic, videos, pictures and more, I would love for you to check it out and (hopefully) submit something!  I'm really looking for this to be a group effort, so sharing is strongly encouraged!

Community found here. 

(I've never used tumblr before, so bear with me while I get used to the site!)

Hope to see you there!

Days 4 and 5

I couldn't sign on to the site last night, so I'm just going to double the fun today.

First up, this lovely scene from "In a World Where the King's Are Employers."

What don't I love about this scene?  It's just really sweet and lovely, and I almost want to cry every time I see it.  I think I'll leave it at that.

Next up from "Love is in the Air":

I love the rhythm of their conversation here: Tom playing calm to her irrational behavior.  It suits them.  Part of the reason I like the early episodes so much is because they really wrote this couple as a partnership.  It's nice to see them balanced here.  And the sweet moment at the end doesn't hurt either.

Day Three

I wrote a steamier fic tonight, so I decided to pick a moment to go along with that: the infamous elevator scene from "There Is No Other Way."  Not only do I think this is the sexiest scene between these characters, but I also love how they resolve their conflict in this episode.  It's nice to see them actually speak to each other like adults as opposed their fight just dissolving into a screaming match.  I also think it's an interesting comparison to look at how the show dealt with these issues in season two compared to the way they're dealing with them now.

This is one I could watch again and again (and have).  And if you're interested, I also wrote a follow-up fic to this scene that can be found here.

Enjoy!

Day Two

Today I decided to upload one of my favorite "speeches" that Tom makes throughout the entirety of the series.  Of all the ways they've supported one another over the years and stuck by each other through thick and thin, I think that what Tom says here sums it up perfectly. 

This is from the season four episode "Free." 

I think that my favorite moment might be the looks they give one another at the end.  The silent communication between these two characters is so poignant (in any situation), and this is such a beautiful example of that.  If nothing else, I always smile when I see this scene.

Celebration Week

So as most of you probably know (or have guessed), the angst and drama between Tom and Lynette is really starting to get me down.  And since I'm probably going to have to spend the entire summer dealing with that, I decided to spend this last week before the finale celebrating every reason that I love this couple.

I'm posting a new fic on my fanfiction.net account called "All the Pretty Little Moments."  My goal is to do a chapter a day--all fluff; angst-free.  And to go along with that, on this blog I'm going to celebrate one of my favorite scenes between them each day.  Please feel free to comment, reminisce, etc.  All I ask is that you leave the angst (and flames) out of it.

Enjoy!

Day One

One of my absolute favorite scenes between this couple is this one from "One More Kiss."  It also happens to be one of my favorite episodes.  Completely celebrating the fact that Tom is kind of the sweetest dork ever, these characters are great when they laugh (at themselves and at each other), and that I love seeing Tom a little scruffy.
