Tom/Grace Appreciation Thread #6: The course of true love never did run smooth.


Banner by the incredibly talented Esther!


Banner thanks to the fabulous ViviLit!

Welcome to the appreciation thread for the coupling of Grace McCallister and Tom Wexler Graham. Tom entered the scene as Grace's new teaching assistant, and what started out as an appreciation for their fast friendship has grown into an obsession, er, admiration for their blossoming romance. These two share a chemistry that cannot be denied, and they are just getting started.

Subject

Tom and Grace are about to shake things up in a big way, and have already made some enemies. Enemies that have become ours as well. These people threaten the awesomeness that is T/G and will suffer as a result. Now we're not violent people, but we will throw the following people off a bridge, if they mess with us again:
The Hit List
Natalie Schultz
Merle Horstadt
Roger Hennessy

Our Reasons
* Because the chemistry has been there since day one.
* Because they epitomize sexy and sophisticated.
* Because they are both perfectionists.
* Because he told her that she was beautiful, and it unraveled her.
* Because he's off-balance when he's around her.
* Because on election night, they were engaged in illicit behavior in his car.
* Because he dumped Leslie for her.
* Because he's not even close to done with her yet.
* Because he's the only person who can shut her up.
* Because she can always go to him.
* Because it's hard to hold back, even when you know better.
* Because Grace McCallister-Graham has a nice ring to it.
* Because they're happy!
* Because she doesn't despise sexy, funny guys.
* Because, um, have you seen them together?!
* Because Grace finally softened up.

* Because they're passionately in love with each other.
* Because she exceeds his imagination in every way.
* Because he sees her as more than a teacher.
* Because she has complete confidence in him.
* Because she makes up for her lack of irresponsibilty in other areas.
* Because he encouraged her not to be intimidated by Natalie.
* Because doing what is right, instead of what is practical is one thing that he loves about her.
* Because it's official: she's his girlfriend.
* Because she likes him.
* Because she's going to keep on seeing him.
* Because he wants to have dinner with her at a real restaurant and walk down the street hand-in-hand.
* Because forgiveness comes naturally to them.

Tom/Grace Quotes:
Running Scared:
Grace: It's one grade, on one exam, Tom. I don't think it's gonna change the course of the world. You know, it's really easy for you to take the high road on this, isn't it? You don't have a career, and a reputation, and kids to support, that's all. Right?
Tom: You're right. But your idealism is ... just the fact that you care about what's right instead of what's practical is one of the things I love about you, that's all.

A New Frontier:
Grace: So, what do ya feel like for dinner?
Bobby: I don't care.
Grace: OK, you can stop torturing me. I get the picture.
Bobby: I'm torturing you?
Grace: OK, listen. I want to tell you the truth, about Tom. Right. Um, the thing is, is that we are. We're sort of, a thing.
Bobby: Like a couple?
Grace: Well, no, I mean we're seeing each other. God, why's this so hard? Um, OK. Well, we have been seeing each other for a while now. And it's uh, pretty great, and it's pretty scary, and I sort of can't believe it's happening. I mean, I really kind of thought this was not ever gonna happen to me, again. And, uh, well it's like this really big secret at work, and nobody can find out about it, and uh, I guess, you know for whatever reason, I felt that I should keep it from you too. And um, maybe because, you've never really seen me date, ever. Or maybe because, um, I was so sure that whatever it was, was gonna last for about you know, a nanosecond, or maybe because I felt like, uh, I don't know, like you couldn't handle it. I guess it's really because I couldn't handle it.
Bobby: You brought him on our weekend and you lied to me the whole entire time.
Grace: I know, I know.
Bobby: You didn't even want me there at all.
Grace: I did, yes I, of course I did. If I did something to make you feel that way, I am so sorry, Bobby. Believe me, you have to know that you and Jack are the most important part of my life, and you will be for the rest of my life. Nothing comes before that, OK? Nothing. But, um, you should know that um, I'm gonna keep seeing Tom. Because um, because.. I like him. Even though he does say "Let's hit it" way too much. Way too much.
Bobby: He's not that bad, I guess.
Grace: He's really kinda cool right?
Bobby: Don't push it-
Grace: OK.
Bobby: Don't push it.
Grace: You're right, OK.

In light of the latest episode, I find Mary Chapin Carpenter's stunning song, "Slave to the Beauty" to be very fitting. Lyrics:

Don't want to need the way I need you
Don't want to feel like this
Holding back all the words but not the kiss
For the moment my heart begins to murmur
The moment of truth arrives
And I know you'll shake your head and say goodbye

I know the price of this to me
I'll light the candle that shines on you
I'll be a slave to the beauty but not the truth

Don't want to fear the way I fear you'll
Hurt me because you can
I never believed I'd crave that kind of man
I've seen the trail of hearts you've broken
I've seen the traps you lay
And if I had the strengh I'd run without delay

I know the price of this to me
I'll light the candle that shines on you
I'll be a slave to the beauty but not the truth

It's dark and getting colder and I'm the beholder
And you're all I long to see

Don't want to love the way I love you...

I know the price of this to me
I'll light the candle that shines on you
I'll be a slave to the beauty but not the truth

I think if a revised version of the promo comes out, we'll be posting alot more. Like last week, the first promo featured Courtney and Nate, and then once it hit the Internet, it featured Bobby/Peter and Grace/Tom...We'll be rolling by Wednesday, that's for sure.

Most defintaly.

Although, I wish they'd put some T/G in the new promo. Instead, they put G/P.

Also, have you noticed, no one bumped the G/P thread. Is there anyone who really wants them together?

Yeah, the little bit of T/G in the last promo was what we rambled on about for a few pages. I guess we couldn't catch a break two weeks in a row...I did see a quick flash of Tom in a brown sweater thing though...

The G/P thread fell out of commission after they stopped talking. I didn't want to be traitorous and got post there but I did enjoy their exchange in his office in ITW. I think there are people who still want them together though. *shrugs*

Some people loved G/P from the begining, so I choose to leave them alone. Some people, though, only like G/P because they don't like T/G. Those people.......

There's Tom in the new promo?!?! Where?!?!

The spanking smilie!

OK, right before the promo flashed to Bobby with his flashlight, I saw Tom standing with whoever those other people were, with a light focused on him. It was really quick and for a split second, then it transitioned to Bobby. The main focus of the promo was really the Dare stuff...
