    Author Notes:

    Alice’s POV on Helebette

    When my well of tears finally ran dry, our discussion fittingly turned to the Yoga Center and the numerous classes and healthful benefits it offered. Helena eagerly agreed she’d take my next yoga class with me. Then she became animated and excited as she described her newfound interest in meditation.

    “Alice,” Helena explained, “You must try it. The peace I feel when I finish a class is absolutely exhilarating. I suspend my mind for just a short period of time from the selfish desires, worries and mundane vexations of everyday life. And afterwards I feel liberated…enlightened.”

    Helena spoke with earnest, like a woman renewed. Then she conceded, “Oh, I still have my bad days, but things appear to be looking up.” Letting her guard down, almost as an afterthought, she added with a half-laugh, “When I moved to California I was a woman captured, enslaved. Now, I’m experiencing my emancipation.”

    I observed her sincerity and sat and stared, attentive to her every word. She appeared to be a woman undergoing a profound transformation. I reminded myself she had a story to tell, and pulled out my mental notebook with its growing list of questions.

    “Helena, what are you being freed from?” I inquired. She looked at me then glanced down. I couldn’t quite figure out why it was there, but I’m pretty certain I noticed a twinge of embarrassment cross her face. I hesitated, but continued carefully, “And back at the Yoga Center, when I mentioned Tina going back to Bette, what did you mean when you said, ‘It’s all so…’ So what?”

    She sat immersed in thought for several moments. I waited patiently, cautiously, so as not to disturb her thoughts or to jeopardize the opportunity that she may confide in me.

    Finally, she looked up and smiled. “Alice. While I’ve recently been encouraged that indeed confession is good for the soul, I’m not sure that I’m quite ready to expose all of my sordid transgressions to the scrutiny of you or others. But I do want to be honest with you. Perhaps you can be content with what I feel at ease offering. As my comfort level increases with you, I’ll likely bare more of myself.”

    Things were getting a little heavy now. I decided to opt for some levity. “Oh, yeah, sure. Bare yourself at your own pace. I don’t need to see you naked today. Next week will be soon enough,” I quipped.

    4. Yes! Finally, another Helebette story! God, these two are hot together, and I’m glad that this fandom pairing is picking up pace, because these two really should find each other on the show. Wonderfully written, post more soon!

    11. I have been waiting to see if you were going to update, but since you haven’t yet, I’ll comment. I really like the way this is beginning and would love to see you continue. It’s good to see a different side of Helena and actually have some detailed explanation for the change. It would also be great to have a chance to see how Bette recovers from the breakup with Tina and moves on with her life. Thanks! Please don’t keep us waiting too long.

    14. I have seen very few pull off Alice’s point of view, but you do it flawlessly…and your characterizations are lovely. I’m glad there’s more to read! Excellent work!
