    Author Notes:

    It’s Sunday at Gay Pride for Alice and Dana. Which means hurt feelings, painful denials, heartfelt confessions, and one hell of a make up.

    Love
    wasn’t something that Dana Fairbanks thought she was good at. Then
    again, there wasn’t much Dana thought she was good at in this life
    really. The only thing she had a talent for, in her humble opinion, was
    playing tennis.

    Just playing tennis.

    And
    wasn’t that a ***** sad thing to be good at? It wasn’t like being
    good at something useful, you know. Like being good at helping people,
    like being a teacher, or good at healing people, like being a doctor,
    or even good at entertaining people like Alice did in being a writer.

    She
    was good at swinging a racket and running across a court and hitting a
    ball back at another person at incredibly fast speeds. It wasn’t
    something to be impressed with, not when you stopped and considered it.
    Her career was probably one of the most pointless things on the Earth
    if you thought about it for more than a few seconds.

    But
    for some reason it had gained her fame and somewhat of a fortune as
    well as some celebrity notoriety. Leading her to have sponsors and
    promotions and obligations which then led to her doing things she
    probably shouldn’t. Things she knew weren’t wise when it came to love
    and her relationship with Alice and she still did it anyway because it
    was all she had. Playing the game of tennis, that is.

    She
    wasn’t good at anything else and when her career ended, most likely in
    a few short years, Dana had no idea what she would do with herself.
    Perhaps teach tennis because it was all she knew and all she thought
    she was good at.

    Dana
    loved Alice desperately, she had loved her that way for years now and
    all she wanted in that time was to be with her in the way she was now.
    Even though it was all she wanted, at the same time it was all she
    feared because Dana knew who she was. She wasn’t someone who lived in a
    state of denial about her own faults as a person. Not at all.

    Instead
    she embraced her faults and used them as a handy excuse to keep her
    from doing things that frightened her. That was how she kept her
    feelings for Alice to herself for years. By saying over and over in her
    head and in her heart all she was good at was playing tennis.

    7. Wow! That opening scene was so amazing, and heart wrenching. I’m not sure there is anything worse then lying next to someone you love and feeling so utterly and completly disconnected from them. You captured both women’s emotions in that scene so well.

      I don’t know how you do it–your transitions are seamless; one moment Dana and Alice are engulfed in a distance neither one of them knows how to get out of, and then you bring them back together, just as they should be, writing scenes that capture the love they have for one another. You have truly captured the essence of this pairing. I’m hooked.

      I was struck by the following: “and she knew she was drowning. She had sunk down into the depths of their love and she couldn’t escape it, not now and not ever, it had swallowed her whole…” So simplistic in meaning, but yet so powerful. Beautiful. Thank you for this.

      And Gabby–I sense that even though she was thwarted this time, we haven’t seen the last of her yet or her scheming ways. I was laughing when you whipped out the six steps of her plans to win Alice back and also equally delighted that she was the one who brought Danish back together. If Gabby only knew…

      My last comment pretains to Howie–I love how you have written him–now anytime I see him on the L word I will have the Howie you’ve written etched into my mind (which might be a good thing) Also your portrayl of his relationship with Dana is spot on–again you’ve easily captured the essence of another relationship, chalking it full of love, humor, playfulness….

      I know I said one last comment, but this is my last comment: Love your choice of songs for this chapter and now that you have given the seal of approval on the The Bravery–I was hedging, not sure if I should buy the album, but I think I will now.

    8. Damn Dreiser I knew why I was missing you. Word for sinnet23 said about your capacity for truly capture the essence of danish. You’re a wonderful writer and I only hope when in the show they return (because they have :P)was at least near to this emotional scene. The last thing is I’m really learning about music with you, sulky (another great writer) and other danish writers, this for somebody who doesn’t live in USA or has english as not first language is very good. Thanks!

    9. sorry one last time, it’s really amazing that you’re using Gabby to cure Alice about all her insecurities, good ’cause she is part of them, that give the characters deep dimensions. Damn did I say you are a good writer, lol :P

    10. Another great chapter. Every update has just the right combination of funny, clueless, sad, sweet, romantic and hot that is just so Danish. I loved it when Alice finally snapped at Dana, and, of course, when they made up. And, again, I love the way you write Tonya so she’s so much more than a scary robot.

    11. damn-cries- that was emotional, oh i love it, what is up with Gabby though, kick her ass out of the picture, she’s getting on my nerves already, dirty brad, but i love howie and geno awww, cute couple

    12. i loved it! i like the way you wrote the feeling of detachment alice was feeling. gabby is very good at what she is doing, but i am glad her plan backfired this time. the reconciliation that followed was bueatifully written. thank you for such a wonderful story drieser, i can’t tell you how much i am enjoying it.

    13. i’ve been reading your story from day one and i have never been let down. I love how you portray dana and alice..it’s just soo perfect. it’s so exciting when i get to see that you have written a new chapter..thanks for keeping it going!
