You (Part the Twenty-Sixth)
Dana wound up sleeping for more than fourteen hours, curled into Alice and blissfully unaware of the passage of time. Alice wasn’t quite as comfortable, and got up a few times to use the bathroom and get a drink. She contemplated waking Dana up so she could take her pills on time in the morning, but something about the way Dana was breathing seemed so peaceful she just didn’t have the heart. She couldn’t sleep anymore, but the idea of getting up to do anything productive really didn’t appeal to her at all, so she just kept crawling back into bed and wrapping Dana in her arms, letting herself get lost in the feel of the heartbeat so close to her own.
Hours went by this way, and Alice didn’t really feel the time passing. For once in her life, she felt completely secure. It was admittedly a little weird, she supposed, since Dana’s health was still a looming question mark in the distance. Still, the previous night had proven to her just how much she was loved, and while she knew it didn’t even come close to solving all their problems, it was a damn good start. She found herself looking forward to Dana’s appointment the following week. Without really knowing why, she found herself mirroring the instinctual feeling of hope that Dana had confessed to her before the last one. Somehow, she knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that this time, things were going to work out.
Alice had been hurt by Dana’s attitude over the past few days, but as she lay there beside her, she found herself understanding it. She couldn’t imagine something foreign invading her body and changing the very essence of what she’d been using to identify herself to the world. Belatedly, she realized that Dana wasn’t so much depressed over losing her ability to play tennis as she was terrified that anything else she used to make herself feel whole wasn’t going to be enough for people. It didn’t really have anything to do with Dana’s perception of herself; more with what people thought of her, even her parents and friends. Alice knew she hated being treated with kid gloves, but at the same time, she was lost as to how to go about relating to people.

Yay I’m the first one! I’m actually only on page 2 but I just wanted to stop mid way and tell you how fuckin amazing you are at writing these characters. Seriously, so good. Okay, now back to reading…
YAY! Did I mention that yet? Wow, this was so good. I’m once again in awe. And the “dip your bald head in oil and rub it all over her body” quote was wonderful. Oh and you went all Quagmire on me in the comment section–I was way impressed. So I’ll stop rambling and just say Giggity Goo to Danish moving in together. Wait one more thing: “Salad’s got nothin on this mutton”
Good news! YES! Now they can start to live their lives. So much love is in the air.
LOL you bunch of Seinfeld geeks! hehe ok I so dont wanna post after this cause its fucking brilliant, actually i had it all set, shout outs and all and then the PC crashed again I swear its a message. Anywho I heart ya too hun :D and yay for calling me Al! Man I love this story, I want more more more! xxxx
Beautiful absolutely freaking beautiful. You are a wonderful writer.PPS.
Thank You For Another Awesome Chapter…Love this line “See? I knew you wanted it. I’m awesome.” Love them, Love this and on some level Love you…Wish I could post more…off to yet another meeting…Have a great weekend! PPS
oh man, they’re going to the waterfall for a whole another reason… what an amazing twist you have there. By the time Dana said that she wanted to go there i had tears streaming down my eyes… a huge THANKS for that one. can you teach IC how to make things like that work? maybe if you gave her a few lessons she could learn how to write… “the story wrote itself…” blah blah blah, bullshit. how f’n great is that Leisha will be in L3 along with Erin herself? YAY for them and YAY for you… keep the good work up babe..
shit! just realised they have changed the banner for this site too… what a good way to throw the lack of Dana at our faces..
I agree with Danish_foreverr. I was kind of pissed off when I opened this site…even though I kmew they would eventually replace the picture with one fo the new cast. Thanks for the candles in the glass jar-comment. ;) And yes, I have faith in you for getting them through the rough times… True love will conquer everything (at least in fanfic :D)! I like their ‘sucky’ conversations, they’re always funny! :D And a big yay for Dana moving in with Alice! And is it weird that ‘bald head’ comment actually put some visuals of Danish sex in my head? :S
MT you certainly delivered in this one! The whole “yeah Dana you’re the perfect girlfriend” rant was very cute. It seems the dialogue between these two is very true to form and just melds everything together. Again, you have made me one happy camper with this chapter. Hell my headache even went away while I was reading, so this was apparently the best medicine. See, I can make it through at least one sexless chapter! lmao
Fucking A!!! Even though there was no smut in this chapter it was one of the most touching chapters yet…..oh I really don’t know how to explain it!! I almost cried when Dana got the good news, I am totally addicted to this story….keep up the great work and PPS!!
seriously muted, this story is AWESOME! you should totally submit it to the next official Showtime fanfic competition thingy…its so much better than what we saw on screen, not jus cos of the obvious fact Dana is still here :) but the detail you give to the characters….this is like the o.c. that Leisha talked about at L2 (anyone who doesnt know what that is – Leisha has a theory that there are many scenes that are ‘off camera’ o.c. and the fans and actors have to imagine what they are to understand the stories)….hope this story continues for a long long time!
Yes, Dana is doing good. Very happy to hear that. And moving in with Alice, great as well. Lovely update!
Awesome awesome AWESOME! Im soo happy Dana is in remission…now why couldnt they do that on the show?!
Wooy! I’m all for sugary sweetness plus Alice’s glasses made a cameo – which makes this chapter perfection and still kicking massive pancake ass!
