STEMWINDER I

OhMyGosh - That was great! I always wondered what happened between these two episodes. Thanks!

needtoknow - Tiff, wow! That was the best one yet. I love it and look forward to the next one. Thanks!

GearJamGranny - Tiff, thanks for the hot tub warning! Not that I ever mind ending up in the hot tub! Fabulous job on this one!

Amandah Leigh - Oh my gosh! That's all I can think of to say. I'm sorry I didn't read this when you actually wrote it; I must've missed that day, but wow! It's great!

RFKing - I need a cold shower ... and I just took one! That last kiss where his hands were circling on her back to match his kiss ... wow ... I was breaking out into a sweat.

ScarecrowLover - Tiff, how do you do it? I'm almost in tears. Actually, I *am* in tears. Anyone got a tissue? That has to be my favorite of all your tagalogues that I've read.

Liz - And the award for best tagalogue ever (so far) goes to... (drum roll)...Tiff! Had to take a cooling off period at ...crashing together in an explosion of passion that poured into their kiss. WOW! Thanks again, Tiff!

SMK720 - Thanks, Tiff. We needed that! I found out that someone in my house, who has still not fessed up, taped over my Stemwinders. So, I'm out in the cold! At least your tag gave me a little of one of my all time SMK favs.

'Vette36 - Oh, man was this tagalogue good! It filled in the gap of the episode I missed. I missed the first 40 minutes because I *had* to go out shopping w/my mom and family. I look forward to today's part two with all the--never mind; personal thought: need to know basis only! LOL!

chplady - Awesome, Tiff! I think I'm going to go and watch the Stemwinder eps again. LOL! I think you pegged it when you said Amanda knew she was in love with Lee during Ship of Spies. In my mind, that was it too. Now, Lee. He is a little harder to figure out. But, isn't that one of the qualities that makes him sexy? That and his hair, dimples, smile, voice ... oops! Got carried away there!

HeartPendant - Oh Wow! This certainly is one of the best! Never, never doubted! I loved the last paragraph! especially the last two sentences ... Tomorrow, he would face reality. Tonight, he was going to savor these moments with her and enjoy the peace he felt in his heart. No matter what their circumstances were, as long as they had each other, there would be peace in their hearts ... (SIGH) Thank you, Tiff!

katie - Wow! Great tagalogue for this one. Their descriptions of when each fell in love with the other was very well written. You could feel the passion each was trying to explain, especially Amanda. I know it was well thought out and makes a lot of sense. Thanks for such an in depth analysis. Are you sure you're not a psychologist? (grins)

smkukfan - Tiff, you are truly the greatest. This was a wonderful tagalogue! Phew, the way Lee says "I love you," and then his feelings! WOW! Crikey! I can so see the little boy in him and the walls he has built, and I see it in Amanda seeing it in Lee. It is so true to the characters and so right to fit in here. I just love what you've done here. Thank you!

lena_hope - Wow Tiff! Great tagalogue! It has been a while since I have seen either one of these episodes, and today I was able to watch part I! In that instant, all of the memories came flooding back to me. Yet, there was always something missing, a big gap that needed filled. What did happen between the two episodes? Now I know, thanks to your wonderful writing! Thank you for those passionate kisses and warm, comforting embraces! Well done, Smooch Writer!

kolinsky - Boy this one's long! Tiff, I've only had a chance to skim this, but now I've got to print it out to read it more closely! I need to know what happens, but there's too many kids breathing down my neck waiting for computer time! Where is there a quiet place to read? I'll check back later and let you know what I think! I finally got to finish reading this yesterday afternoon at the playground. Luckily we were the only ones there, so I didn't have to have people wondering about the goofy smile on my face. Wow! This one is my favorite, no question. This could easily be a stand alone fanfic representing your take on when they fell in love. I've been thinking a lot about when I think they knew they were really in love, and I keep changing my mind, but you provide sound reasoning to support your conclusions. And enough mush to send us all to the hot tub! I've read the last few pages way too many times!

MusicBox - Have I said before that I really love confident Amanda? And even more than that I love complete trust Lee! Really like the reference to the beginning of S2! I'm also enjoying the suspense. You don't get to do much of that with the tagalogues, this is really good. (sigh) Wuv, twoo wuv! LOL! ...he'd do what he always did ... push his fears aside and get the job done. This, too. SO Lee. Now that we've seen the *real* Lee, this fits right in to how I see him. He really is two different people. But Amanda brings out way more Lee. No complaints here, though! LOL! Good way to explain the change of clothes! LOL! Oh! I love this. I've said it before ... I love how you bring up things from past episodes. Just makes it all so much more believeable and pulls everything together. Did you hear that Season Four writers? Oh boy, there's the *ootzy* feeling again! While hitting the hot tub. Hmmm ... (sigh) I love it. The whole *coming clean* conversation. I love it. Very sweet, but also worthy of a trip to the hot tub! Awesome *filler* Tiff. You tied everything up perfectly ... as if I thought you wouldn't!

Jude4247 - I've always wondered what happened after Lee and Amanda fell from the trellis. I like how you have Amanda leading them through back yards getting them farther away from the other pursuing agents. Lee really does trust her! He's proving his "following her blind through a blizzard at midnight" remark! The way she is so sure he'll come up with something, that is SO Amanda! Then, he wants to be strong for her. (sigh) Lee could be strong and protect me anyday! LOL at Amanda keeping Lee from looking like the Unibomber by assuming the hooded sweatshirt was for her. I can just hear Amanda talking about knowing the risks. "No guts, no glory." Cracks me up that Amanda admits to him that she wouldn't wait for him, when she knows that's one of the things about her that drives him crazy. LOL! You know, every time I watch the episode and he finally says those three words, I just can't stop a huge grin from forming on my face! Same thing happens when I read it in your tagalogue. Oh, and I think I would momentarily forget the danger of the situation too, if I were in Lee's arms! I LOVE the insights you give into what Lee's thinking. Makes you want to say 'where's MY Lee'? (hehe) LOVE their banter. They are so cute together. One of my favorite passages is when he realizes "second-best just wouldn't do." Okay, now I'm serious, where is "MY Lee?" I'm so happy you have Lee and Amanda admitting when they "knew" it was love. It never ceases to amaze me again and again, how well you obviously know these characters. I found the part very touching where Amanda tells Lee what she saw in him, probably because I wholeheartedly agree that Amanda did see all of that in Lee. She felt it earlier than what she felt Lee was feeling, so she tried to hide it and bide her time. Now, the end. Whew! That's good! Oye, yoi, yoi! Howcha-magowcha! You go for it, Amanda! Great job as always, Tiff. Just the thought of them and the situation they are in ... the conversation they are having, the closeness of their sleeping arrangement ... it's ALL good!

STEMWINDER II

OhMyGosh - SIGH! Wow! That was fun! I think I'll go cry into my pillow. Thanks for sharing!

Scarecrow2001 - Tiff, you are so talented. I just love reading all your tagalogues, and you make them fit in the storyline so well.

needtoknow - Wow, Tiff! I don't know what else to say ... except you have things perfectly arranged for the next one and Lee's past. Thanks again.

Gail - Great story! I like the fillers. They're often the same kinds of scenes I imagine would happen had the writers put them in. You did a good job.

mkay - Wow, Tiff! That is good writing! I love the after writing and want to read more. Sure am glad I have come to this web page. Keep up the good work!

Spins2 - You did it again, Tiff. It was great! If there are no copyright infrigments, I'll pay whatever it costs to have copies of your tagalogues! Thanks, again!

Pat - Just joined in on all the fun. The tagalogues are wonderful. I look forward to reading the others on your site. Thanks for adding to those special moments.

ptamom - (Sigh) I loved it! It just doesn't get any better! Thanks, Tiff. Oh yes, did I mention that I love historical ficton? Can't wait until your book comes out!

Spyz'nTraining - Tiff, we enjoyed reading the Stemwinder I and II tagalogues. We raced to the computer both evenings to see who could get the best place near the computer to read them.

Chris - These were two great endings to one of my favorite episodes. I especially liked the new ending to Stemwinder II. It gave me better closure to this ep then the original, which as always was way too short.

MyAmanda - Absolutely speechless! That was wonderful. This is my first chance to read the tagalogues. Love them and want to read more. I look forward to reading your others on your site. Thanks for sharing.

kyj - I just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed your tagalogues. Once I discovered them a week or so ago after you posted Stemwinder 1 and 2, I had to read them all! Looking forward to you writing more stories.

liz15862004 - Tiff, I just loved it! I get butterflies in my stomach every time I think about that episode. Mom and I didn't get to see it all the way through because the station that broadcasts it had a weather thing going on. It was still great!

AmaLeeLane - In my usual warped way, I put off reading this until this morning. I'm a creature of habit. Gotta have your tagalogue with my morning coffee. The only problem is, I just got out of the shower, and after that tagalogue I need another one-- a COLD one! Looking forward to the next one!

Julie - Wonderful! I've been wanting to write something about what happened between Stemwinder I and II, and you've just saved me a lot of work. I loved both of these stories, especially the first one. It's a good exploration of what happens after the big "I love you"s, something that was left out of the episodes.

graren - Sigh... You are such a talented writer, Tiff. I am so glad that you were moved to write these. I am also looking forward to reading other fanfic by you. I am so excited that your tagalogues are complete and you can move on to other things. BTW, when is your book due to come out and what is the genre?

kolinksy - An excellent companion to Stemwinder I! I like how you're dealing with the intensity of emotions for both of them. On to Unfinished Business ... one of my favorite episodes, but I can't watch it until tonight because I have to go to a meeting! The rest of the world really should know not to schedule anything for 4:00!

katie - Ok, I didn't think you could top any of the past, but you've certainly done it here. Those last three paragraphs after Amanda has stepped inside and is thinking about all her blessings is amazing. I especially liked the part where she finds him leaning against the lattice, blowing each other kisses and locking gazes. Wow! Incredible writing.

Amy - All I can say is WOW! I'm going to add it to my collection and pull it out any time I watch Stemwinder 1 & 2 and fill in the blanks. Because that's exactly what you did. It's so true, every time I watch the episode I always wonder just what exactly happened. I think you covered the basis perfectly. I enjoyed these two continuations immensely. Thanks for sharing and great job.

Liz - I had a huge smile on my face throughout the entire tagalogue. Tiff, you do such great work! I feel so fortunate to "know you when," since you'll be hugely famous one of these days. Please don't forget your little SMaKer friends! What a busy last couple of days Lee and Amanda have had! Partners in work, partners in friendship, and partners in love. What we've been waiting for! Also enjoyed Amanada's analysis of Lee at the end. Right on!

GearJamGranny - Tiff, this is one for the record books! I always loved the tag to S-II, but you've gone and made it better. I'm not one for envying others, but good golly, can I please be Amanda King in this tagalogue! WHEW! Sorry, no more comments. I'm jumping right into the Hot Tub; the ladder and even the slide would take too long! Maybe you should change your rating scale. Keep them all PG, but add HT to the ending of some ... this is definitely PG-HT! (grins) Thanks for sharing your talent!

arlington - Oh, Tiff, I don't say it often enough (like after each of these), but THANK YOU. As always, this was great. I was sighing and smiling all the way through! Lucky me, the up-side to working late today was that you posted the tagalogue early. Now I know what I'll be thinking about as I drive home. 88 Wow! When you wrote that, you were going to try to write one for each episode. I can't believe you'd take on such a challenge and wondered how you would blend the early seasons with the later ones. You did it seamlessly. Again, thanks!

MusicBox - While they found a place a little less conspicous, I got that ice water I put in the freezer this morning ... "But you can be cajoled with the right words," she whispered meaningfully. LOL! Amanda 1, Lee 0! Very cute. I like how Lee didn't want to share Amanda. How sweet. We just didn't get enough of that in the series. (sigh) I want so much for them to be able to just be normal! You did an awesome job once again capturing the whole feeling of the show itself. Everything flows so incredibly smooth. The whole reference to helping Lee with his past hurts is wonderful -- helps with the weird placement of the next episode! And of course looking forward to tomorrow. I KNOW you'll give us the romance that's lacking!

smkukfan - Tiff, you've excelled yourself on these. Loved them both. S-1 was a perfect link between the two. S-2 a really wonderful end to a really good two-part story. Really loved them both. Trying not to read the next tagalogues until I've seen the episodes again though (UB & NTFTM). These two tagalogues are just stunning! I just love: "Oh, he's big and a little clumsy, but is usually harmless and can be cajoled with the right words." You can just tell she's not JUST talking about the dog. This woman has changed so much, yet at the same time kept true to herself and the early years characterization. I love how these days she's able to keep Lee in his place (in the best possible way, of course!). We've watched him grow just as Amanda has and seen these same changes (and loved them). Love how she wants to protect and help him get over his painful history. "They were a very unlikely pair" ... maybe, but they are perfect together (in episodes and your tagalogues, Tiff). A firm foundation for their future? I'll say! Fifteen years without a new episode and we're still talking about it, and finding new things! Loved it, Tiff! When haven't I? Thanks for making a couple of excellent episodes even better.

Jude4247 - Basking in the hot tub right now! If I were Amanda, I would always find excuses to run my hands in his hair. It looks so shiny and soft. Mmmm! The kiss you described ... oh ... WOW! That gave me chills! LOVED the exchange between them about the dog. Adorable! Their flirtatious teasing. Cute, very cute! Then, Amanda's boldness and Lee's appreciation of it. Can't stop smiling! LOL at the chocolates. 'Once on the lips, forever on the hips!' Big grin at the way Lee didn't want to share her with her family. And the way you described the rollercoaster is a good way to describe how I feel when reading these tagalogues. My stomach gets that feeling almost exactly like you feel one one. You feel as if you just left your stomach at the top of the hill, while the rest of your body has already whizzed down the track. To get to read the depths of feelings Lee and Amanda are finally admitting and demonstrating to each othe r... what a ride. Whee! They both are going to be so worth the wait! I guess I need to go check out the tagalogue to Do You Take This Spy? LOL! Ok, I'm a sap and I had to point out Lee's "I love you" again. (sigh) I love the comment about Lee helping Amanda become more sure of herself and helping her love again. Very nice. I really like how you convey Amanda's thoughts in the ending, and the connection you have between Lee and Amanda ... I just love ... well, that 'soul mate' kind of love. I'd say that was a perfect ending. Great job on the Stemwinders ... you made really great episodes even better. Didn't think it was possible, but sure enough...

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Karthy - Tiff, another great tagalogue. Loved how you did Jennifer's diary.

'Vette36 - Waaa! Very good! Very sad! I need a tissue...make that tissues!

MyAmanda - Thanks Tiff. I really needed a good reason to cry this afternoon. Super job!

Gail - What a beautiful story! I liked it and you weaved his past in seamlessly. Thank you.

Nightcrawler - Wow. That was so good, Tiff! I almost cried with them! That was the best!

ptamom - Wonderful...I am going for the tissue box now! See why I chose this episode, Tiff?

ele - You're doing a great job with these extensions of the show. Exactly what we need to see.

LWolf - As usual, your tagalogue is great and fills in their lives so much better than the script. Thanks!

abigfan - Really, really wonderful, Tiff. I always think the book is better than the movie, and you are proving this true for me again with your tagalogues.

needtoknow - Tiff, once again you have out done yourself. This was great. I really like that you see Lee having enough self control as to not "cheapen" things. Thanks.

mkay - Goodnesss, Tiff! You are an awesome writer! I have always loved Lee and Amanda, but you make it even better! You should write love stories. You would be great at it!

HeartPendant - Oh Tiff! This is great! I really loved reading more from Jennifer Stetson's diary...and how it was like "The First Time" for Lee and Amanda! Also loved the part about why Lee chose Amanda at the Train Station!

Becky - I've been reading your tagalogues and enjoying them, but I think this was one of my favorites. I think you presented the emotions, passions, and physical desires they have for each other and in this new dimension of their relationship in a wonderful package of respect and sensitivity that is very them.

Amy - I'm really enjoying your tagalogues. You're doing a great job of continuing the stories where the episodes left off and giving us more of a sense of closure. I also think you're doing a wonderful job of keeping the characters in canon and capturing what might really have taken place had the series writers continued the story instead of being restrained to an hour long program. I look forward to the next one.

Amandah Leigh - OHH! You are so talented! That was awesome! It was so pretty, and sad, and happy, and nice, and wonderful! I have to print it out so my "mum" can read it! Oh, and I especially liked "placed a kiss on her nose," that's adorable. You are so talented! (Sigh) I have to admit, it was hard not to cry, but I didn't. (my classmates would never let me forget it!) I wish they had an icon for "impressed"!

katie - All right! Now you've done it! This one made me cry. What got me was after her reading the continuation of Jennifer's letter, which was well done, when he asks for the date. As soon as they
both realized, I realized and along with Amanda's realization of her words being identical, I did so too. For me to cry it has to be well written and true in emotion, and dang if you didn't do just that (I sound like I'm from the south). Wow girl! Thanks again for a truly amazing tagalogue!

Liz - What luck to find this tonight! Of course I'll have to read it again tomorrow too, since I've gotten used to starting my day off with your tagalogues, Tiff. You did an incredible job of going deep. Wow. Always wanted to hear the rest of the letter from his mom. Great job. Love how close they are - physically and emotionally. And I noticed that Lee started his "mega watt smile" early on..."my smile must have lit up the room..." Am sure it did, even as a little boy. Thanks, thanks, thanks.

Chris - Wow Tiff...absolutely fabulous! I really enjoyed the little extra you've got here. I'd have loved to have seen this played out. You've got Lee & Amanda down pat here. I could see this in my head as I read it. Both of their actions were very sweet, tender and loving. You expressed it well. Thank you for the nice ending. This was so sweet. I got a warm fuzzy feeling while reading it. You hit the mood of the episode dead on. The scene in his apartment was just great. Him lying on her lap with the pillow. I could really picture this.

smkukfan - Love this too, Tiff. This was the first 'new' episode I saw upon arrival in the US last year, after a many year gap, so it already had a special meaning. Seeing it again, along with your tagalogue to finish it off increases it's special-ness (ok, I know I've just made that word up, get over it!). Her hand came back to absentmindedly stroke his hair at his forehead once more, and a small smile formed on his lips. I'm not sure what it is but I always love it when she's stroking his forehead/hair. Really gets to me! Glad we got to hear more of Lee's mum's letter - it really feels like it is! Might have known you'd try to get another meal in here Tiff. I always get hungry too, reading your tagalogues. I mean that as a compliment, btw! Thanks again!

Jude4247 - You really weren't lying about the tissue alert were you? So sweet how Lee told Amanda she was like his mom. Then, like father, like son, with Lee selecting Amanda at the train station and picking her to help him. I always liked when Amanda read out of the diary, Lee's mother's letter to him and how much his parents meeting was just like his and Amanda's. I love how Lee is reminiscing about his childhood memories. Talking about when he was able to ride his bike "without the little wheels on the back." I remember when I learned too, such fun memories. "Yeah, when I saw that reflector, man, my smile must have lit up the room," Yeah, he was perfecting that adorable smile at a young age, I'm sure. Love this next passage! Got me teared up! I'm so glad he finally got to the place where he could open up to Amanda about all the pain he went through losing his parents. I love the mental picture I'm getting of Lee laying in Amanda's lap. Her "pampering" him and reading more of his mother's letter. It just "fits." I love how Lee is really letting down his defenses with Amanda and "letting her in." FINALLY! Thanks for writing the rest of the letter and what we didn't get to hear in the episode. This one brought a few tears to the surface, and Lee being teared up is ripping my heart out! LOL! I bet you though if Amanda would have seen the tears falling, she would have kissed them away! You convey how their story and his parents' story are almost mirror images so well throughout this story. Now Lee is kissing Amanda's tears away. So sweet! Love how considerate Lee is to Amanda's feelings. Although I believe it's something they both want, he doesn't want to diminish all that they have by reducing it to just the physical feelings they are having. He knows this relationship is so much more. And that the physical aspect is the "icing on the cake" as it were. I'm so glad he finally found "the one" to open up to. "His" Amanda! "Somehow, he just knew his parents were looking down on them both and smiling." Big sigh and even bigger grin. This was so good. Thanks!

MusicBox - Oh, this one is so very sweet. I love the ones involving either of them sharing things from their past and thier feelings with each other. Absolutely love it. (sniff) I can only hope my boys feel about me the way Lee feels about his mom. He's right, though, Amanda is like his mother -- but he also has a lot of Jennifer in him. LOL at the bike. This is too funny. My parents gave me a bike for my eighth birthday this way. Well, almost. I got a bike basket! LOL! The section where you talk about Lee wondering how he ever made it so many years on his own is very sweet. I feel it's so right on about what Lee *really* wanted in life. Far beyond filling his life with things and people he really didn't need to care about. Living in that loving environment, no matter how short a time he was in it, really left an impression on him. And even though he craved the excitement and challenge of the job his parents did, he also craved the relationship they had. (sigh) I loved him wondering why he waited so long. Yes, Lee, how could you? LOL! We've been wanting to know that for what? Three years now? Can you just imagine having Lee look at you like he did Amanda? Yup! Me too! The way you describe them kissing, oh, how I want to see this as part of the show! This has to be my favorite part of the whole thing. I love that the history is the same from his parents to them. (Thank you SMK writers!) But how you extended it and made it ... more ... better ... know what I mean? love it. (sigh) I know I'm being redundant but this whole thing is so sweet. The feelings they're sharing are making their relationship so much stronger. (sigh) (sniff) This one is awesome, Tiff! These are a permanent fixture in my collection now, and I read them after watching the episodes on tape! Thank you!

Go to Unfinished Business - Tagalogue

 

NO THANKS FOR THE MEMORY

daizy - I definitely lost it at the feeding each other part. Tiff, I hold you responsible for my fainting spells. LOL!

Karthy - Tiff, you do a great job on ALL of your tagalogues.You capture all their emotions like you are a fly on their wall.

ptamom - I waited for "quiet" time at my house to read this one and I am glad I did. I think I need to take a long walk now.

Liz - Whoo-hoo! Gotta love that chocolate. A favorite line: "You're incorrigible, you know that?" "No, just incurable." So sweet!

MyAmanda - I cried yesterday, and today, I think I slipped into the hot tub also. Feeding each other was too much for me! Absolutely scrumptious!

arlington - Oh, Tiff, this is great. Glad I wore something sleeveless today. I can't even imagine how warm I'd be if it was winter and I was wearing wool when I read these! LOL! Woohoo!

AmaLeeLane - Had to turn my fan up a notch while reading that one! Very, um... nice from beginning to end! I definitely needed that 'hot tub alert,' and am in the intense throes of Swooning Syndrome!

GearJamGranny - Tiff, how I do love your hot tub warnings! I turned on the hose and opened the window before I even got started. Amanda was not the only one with shivers on this one! A big hello to all the hot tub pals!

Laura_Holt - Tiff, you are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Every time I head to the computer to log on, I grab my raincoat on the way. I'm getting used to the hot tub! You are so good in creating that chemistry between them! It's like you're on the inside! Anyway, THANKS FOR WRITING THESE TAGALOGUES! Gives me something to look forward to each weekday!

kolinsky - Wow, Tiff, I finally got to catch up on these last two this morning and am now adding them to the pile that have sections that must be read over and over. My husband has been out of town all week, and thanks to you, I think I have managed to spend all of that time in splashing! At least that's one place that there always seems to be plenty of company! Food? What food? Oh, yeah, she's there for dinner ... I love how he's such a gentleman with her, and a romantic. (sigh) I got the ootz, too! LOL! Love the similarity to Magic Bus. Too cute. I can also see Lee doing just what you write. Love your details, Tiff!

smkukfan - Better late than never, Tiff. Anyway, "Mmm," she finally said, after she swallowed and took a sip of champagne. "Not bad." Cute, we're back on the I think your "x" is "okay", I think your "y" is "not bad" (was it Magic Bus when they started this stuff? It STILL works). Way to go, Tiff! Oooh, the feeding each other the torte! It appears that all the water from the HOT TUB has evaporated! Admittedly, I am about a week late getting here so it's my own fault, but.....does anyone know where I can find a fire hydrant? Phew! Lee thinks he's got problems.... what about the rest of us? Really am speechless this time, so with this, I'll shut up!

MusicBox - LOVED it Tiff! I'm definitely in residence in the hot tub tonight! He remembered their Salzburg trip! I love it. I was going to highlight part of the feeding scene but just couldn't find a small enough part to highlight! So consider this my review of the whole scene ... (sigh) Never before would he have thought he could be this involved and not have the strong desire to back away. With Amanda in his arms, he knew that life could only get better. Another (sigh), unfortunately, knowing that it gets worse before it gets better doesn't make me happy! Once again, you've done a wonderful job of prolonging our *ootzey* feelings! LOL! If only we could SEE it ...

lena_hope - With Amanda in his arms, he knew life could only get better. And better, and better, and better! (grins) Wonderful as always, Tiff! My hats off to you, our resident Smooch Writer! I really loved their playfulness in the tag of this episode and you continued it beautifully! Really, not bad. LOL! Life getting better from here, are you kidding? It will be down right wonderful, heaven on earth, well if you're Amanda, but I suppose it won't be that bad for us SMK fans either. Thanks for another great job! These tagalogues really make the episode all that more wonderful and I am certain to have those wonderful dreams tonight! Like Amanda, I may be sleepy but I'm not dead! LOL! Looking forward to more, and I will make sure to check it out on your web site. Thanks!

Jude4247 - We are to make ourselves comfy in the hot tub, huh? I feel an ootz in my stomach coming on. And I haven't even started reading yet. Loved the part where Lee pulls away and Amanda gives him an impish grin. Too funny. Loved their toast, too! Too true, too true! I was even reminded of The Sound of Music in this one. (grins) "Yeah, not bad." She shrugged. "I have to admit the flavor is interesting, but overall, it's not bad." Love this....reminds me of their relationship in first season. They've come so far, yet they still have that teasing banter I love in first season. So sweet how Lee got the sweets all the way from Salzburg. I was thinking they would need something like that after Lee saying in the episode about putting garlic in the frittatta. Good thing they both had garlic. It cancels each other out. OH MY GOSH, them feeding each other the torte, whew, it just got about 50 degrees hotter in my room. Good thing I have my fan out. YOWZA! Ootz alert, ootz alert! "Mmm, if I had known that was dessert, I would have skipped supper altogether." LOL, my instinct was telling me that dessert was going to be interesting and wow, that's an understatement. The butterflies in my stomach are going crazy after reading that. Oh, this was great. Love how it ends with them dancing.

Go to No Thanks for the Memory - Tagalogue

 

IT'S ALL IN THE WATER

Laura_Holt - Wow! That SO made up for this episode's lack of ... contact! Another excellent tagalogue! Thanks, Tiff!

RadJeanie - Wonderful. You know how to keep the characters true while still giving us the "rest of the story." Keep up the great work!

Whaki4SMaKi - Great story, Tiff. Gives me something good to think about while I'm at work today. Did a great job salvaging this episode.

Amandah Leigh - Tiff, you're awesome. I've said that before (and I'm sure I'll say it again) but you really truly are! I love your tagalogues!

SMK720 - I just have to face it! All I will have to say for these season 4 tags is ... *SIGH* Anybody just love how Amanda's desk just appears? So cozy!

smk_agentaddict - The episode was boring, except for the tag where Lee hinted at what he does in Nightcrawler. Thanks for the tagalogue! *sigh* It was great!

mkay - I love the story, Tiff. It gets better every time. I went to your web page and read the others. I love them all. Keep up the great work. You're a great writer.

ptamom - Tiff, that was just what the doctor ordered! I needed a little Lee and Amanda after my meeting this evening. Now, I can slumber with happy thoughts.

needtoknow - Tiff, I wondered where you were going to take this, (seeing how it sort of ended this time in the tag) but once again you have done an excellent job. Thanks.

arlington - Loved it! (of course). Just thinking about the tagalogue for Nightcrawler has me resolving to wear my bathing suit to work tomorrow -- it will just save time. SPLASH!

Lanie - *sigh*I needed that. I've been going into withdrawal not being able to read your tagalogues every day, Tiff... and this was an especially good one. Here I go to read it again...

abominable snowman - Great job, Tiff! I guess Lee isn't the only one with magic fingers. Thank you for salvaging this episode. Nice descriptive when Lee comes back into the Q-Bureau. I swoon!

HeartPendant - Aww, Tiff. That was just so great! So much better than the storyline...the tag was the best part of that episode (IMHO) and this made up for the little romance in the episode! I loved it!

smkgeek - WOW! Once again, Tiff, you have captured the essense of the Amanda and Lee perfectly. Your dialogue is so true to the characters. You must study every move and every scene. You are very talented!

chplady - Well, this was a pretty boring episode, except the tag was ok. Your tagalogue was *much* better, Tiff. The handsome spy, the hazel eyes, the wink, the smile, the voice....ok I am off to dreamland now. LOL! Great as usual!

AmaLeeLane - While the episode leaves something to be desired, I've always loved the tag. It reveals so much about where the relationship is headed. Your tagalogue has built upon that very nicely, setting us up perfectly for Nightcrawler. Can't wait for that one!

TheRev - *sigh* I don't get to watch daily, so I get my fix this way. So much romance, so little in my real life. If there are any handsome, hazel-eyed spies out there looking for the stability of a well-respected community and church leader, I'm here! And just like Amanda, I only look boring on the outside...

katie - Oh, another great one, as always. It had such a sense of foreboding. If I didn't know the next story in their lives, I think I'd be able to tell something big was about to happen, both to her and to them. Your writing is so well planned out, within the story itself and within the long term story arc. I'm very jealous of your writing ability. Thanks again. Looking forward to Nightcrawler.

matahari2 - Beautifully done, Tiff! I love the way you take us to the brink (relationship-wise) but never beyond the reality of these wonderful characters' true natures. I'm really looking forward to your Nightcrawler tagalogue ... it's bound to be fantastic! (the ep's already terrific, so you should feel no pressure at all! LOL!) Again, great job! Thanks for all your wonderful additions to these SMK tags!

BBisBest - Tiff, you are just WONDERFUL. What a beautifully written tagalogue ... as others have said, your tagalogue sure is a LOT better than the whole ep. As I watched the ep, I kept thinking that Nightcrawler would be showing soon ... one of the absolute BEST eps of the whole series. Keep up your wonderful writing, I so look forward to it, especially when I contemplate ... no more PAX when PAX pulls out of DirecTV. But I can still visit here and enjoy your tagalogues. Dream on!

lena_hope - I know of one spy who will definitely be in my dreams tonight! *sigh* What wasn't there to love about this tagalogue? Everything was great from Lee reappearing at the Q-bureau to Lee appearing at Amanda's! Always and forever! Love it, and wowsa! Those kisses! Smooch Writer, you have done it again! I just had to turn my fan up to high! And oh, those "I love you" and "I love you too" lines were great especially without the Stemwinder eps! Not to mention that, "Did you miss me?" "A little," stuff! They reminded me of two teenagers! Thanks, Tiff!

MusicBox - (sigh) How big is that hot tub? This is so Lee. I love it. The inclusion of the dishwasher made me giggle! Too funny. I also like the picture of Amanda finishing up in the kitchen. Draws the whole thing right into the episode! (I know, that was your intent! LOL!) As soon as she did, she was grabbed from behind and swung into a pair of very familiar arms. (sigh) I'd like to have this happen just once! LOL! Everytime I take the dog out I think ... just for a moment ... but no! LOL! One thing I'd like to know is: What are we reading, Amanda? Hmmm? "Which they won't," he interrupted. Love this! That conversation was one of my favs! Made it so easy to hear him saying it here. I also love how you include her feelings of apprehension and that something is about to happen. She has such great insight, I'm sure she would have felt *something* was going to happen, whether the good or the bad. This one was great as well! Thanks for the much-needed romance!

smkukfan - I'm not even going to bother to lie to you anymore - this'll probably be long, get over it! Wow! Could stop there, I suppose? Nah! I can so see Lee doing that - with the roguish grin and the gleam. Getting warm already! Unable to think clearly with the way he slowly advanced towards her, Amanda barely managed to rasp out, "What did you forget?" Definitely warm - oh drat, I'm at work, I can't be caught getting all hot and bothered at my desk! At least Amanda's got time to plan for his arrival at her house this time! "I thought you took sugar in your coffee," Dotty's voice spoke again. When I ran this I found myself 'doing the grinning thing' , right here, at my desk. Had to pull myself up short. How come Dotty can be so observant and so dim at the same time? Also nearly introduced the others to my coffee - as I nearly spat it out all over my desk, trying not to. LOL! I'm just going to have to stop reading these at work! It's taking far too much self-control. And reading it on the train home tonight probably won't be much better! My head just exploded! No, no, it's all right, it's just steam, coming out of my ears - I'll just go for a little walk. Pity there are no showers in this building Perhaps I could just rest my head in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator? Think anyone would notice? As it's me, they'd probably notice, but not think it was strange. Overwhelmed with a myriad of emotions coursing through her, Amanda felt herself getting lost in his touch. Hot tub time! I'm speechless! Hooray! I hear you cry, but I was only joking. Not sure that Lee would quit before letting them assign him and Amanda to different partners, or that she'd let him, but I think he thinks that he would and who can beat that? Amanda is one lucky lady! But then we knew that, didn't we? Now this bit had me worried Tiff - if this is her cover story, isn't it a bit dangerous for her to have left her book on the table? If Dotty had looked out and seen the book there, how would Amanda explain her reading in the garden? She should have taken it around the corner with her - bad girl - you'd think she had other things on her mind? See above! LOL! (Sigh) Phew! Wow! Incredible! What'll happen tonight/tomorrow? Can't wait... Thanks Tiff!
