Love is Just Another Four Letter Word by Elizabeth
Fate and love are the twin sides to the coin that rules the events of
Roswell. Here, Elizabeth takes those two words and sees what
they mean to the lost one - Tess. Raised with her "destiny" drilled into
her, (find Max, be with him, help him to do whatever it is your people need
you to do,) Tess has discovered that, instead of a fairy dream, it's utter
reality, and a reality that doesn't fit with what it is she'd like to have:
Isabel. For Tess, fate and love are the words that torture her the most.

Particularly good bits of this are her looks at Alex and Liz, and the
insight that she has into what they are, how she *would* like to feel
about them if she could, and how she *must* feel about them because she can't
live a normal life and she isn't free to have her own ideas. Most of all
though, the loving and adoring view she has of Isabel is beautifully and
poetically written.
