Bitter Endings, Sweet Beginnings: Part One
“What happened?” asked Alice curiously, holding back another giggle on seeing Helena form a look of intense concentration as she tried to recall how to get to her own room.
“I was playing hide and seek with my cousins and I hid but they never quite managed to find me,” said Helena wryly. She sighed heavily and narrowed her eyes as she looked left again, entwining her fingers with Alice’s, she led the blonde down that hallway. “I think this is the way,” she murmured. “If not,” Helena drawled ominously and looked at Alice with a playful grin. “I shall blame you entirely for this debacle.”
“Who did find you?” asked Alice, somehow knowing there was more to the story but unsure if the other woman wanted to tell her. But she at least had to find out how she was finally located.
“The butler,” Helena stated in droll tones. “And no,” she chuckled, squeezing Alice’s hand lightly. “His name wasn’t Jeeves or anything of the such. It was Leonard.”
They paused once again to come at an intersection of sorts. The hallway split into a pass where you could choose to go left or right and staring at both ways for a long while, Helena frowned and said, “I despise this house. I really do.”
“It has a lot of hallways,” said Alice, peering down both ways which didn’t seem to have any visible endings. “No wonder you got lost as a kid. Even when my Mom was all about having bigger and better ***** to show off around Hollywood I never got lost in her place. But her place back then was maybe like, ten percent the size of this.” She looked at Helena who was gazing at her thoughtfully and grinned. “This mansion is in the monster big leagues.” Alice took in the look that the British woman wore then laughed and waved her hands in explanation. “My Mom’s an actress. She’s Lenore Stratten, mostly known for that soap opera Empire Falls.”
“My mother adored that program,” informed Helena, a smile spreading across her features. For all of her mother’s intent at being high class and cultured, she could be quite the hound for celebrities. Though the last thing she had in mind was to reveal just who Alice’s mother was. Such a thing would mean talking more to her mother and that was something Helena rather liked avoiding if she could. Which usually wasn’t the case. She peered down the hallway and said, “I think we go right this time.”

Yes! You finally posted this story. I’ve been looking forward to this for so long! Hooray! I’ve already told you what were my favourite parts, so I’ll skip that for now, except to say that Helacious is the bestest ship of all and that all your interactions between Helena and Alice are so natural.
leonore is right it’s a conspiracy of the best writers I’ve read in the fancfiction world. And yes, I’m loving helacious, despite the fact first at all I’m a danish fan. I’m really enjoying this. Thanks.
Awsome!!! continue
Excellent! Between your fics and Sulky’s fic, I’m glued to my laptop. I love how you portray Alice and Helena and even though I’m a Danish fan, I really love the Helacious too. You and Sulky write so well that you can’t help but love it. Great job.
I just knew that somewhere deep inside Helena, there is a lonely, love starved person, just waiting for the right person to find the goodness in her. I am so glad that Alice happens to be the one. I would love for Alice to be for Helena, what Tina is for Bette. Very good job. Post again soon. I can’t wait for them to get into the heat of passion.
It feels good to read a story where Helena is one of the good characters. Well done.
This story is amazing, I’ve really come to love the Helena/Alice fics, however few there may be. I especially love the fundraiser and Alice’s efforts to make it less painful. Please post more ASAP!!
Absolutely love it – more please. You write so well – wow you can even spell and know something aboutr grammar (LOL). Seriously, this is wonderful. I have never liked Alice, but always loved Helena – pretty weird huh. But this Helena/Alice thing, has made me start to look at Alice differently – I think Helena is more her than Dana is – can extend her more as a person.
WOW!!! Everything you write is amazing. I agree whole-heartedly with SusanH in regards to spelling and grammar. Your work IS AMAZING!!! I’ll read practically anything you post. Keep up the excellent work!!
horray for helacious!!! this is the begginning of great story drieser. while i am a big danish fan, it is refreshing to take a step away from it and indulge in this plot. i for one, would love to see some helacious in season 3… and until then, i will relish in your writing. i feel that helena is a very misunderstood character because of the whole betta and tina debacle… most bette and tina fans that i have encountered just hate her… but i find that its always the character that is introduced in a negative light whose history and development i enjoy most. so i guess i just want to say, good on you for starting this wonderful story, and i think that you write helena bueatifully… oh and i love what she brings out in alice. ok i am done now, lol. 10 stars babe!
oh my goodness dreiser – im not sure if i hate you or love you for making me love helacious this much! amazing – helena realizing that she was allowing alice to lead and had no problems giving control to this virtual stranger – phenominal. Alice in this – wonderfully sad – but sweet and kind – its not easy to be bitter, yet not negative! you walk the line well! loved it! im going closer and closer to the dark side!
It’s a Sulky and Dreiser conspiracy; and it’s too powerful to resist! I’m officially loving Helacious. I always love your writing, and this is no exception.
I really liked this one.. maybe Helacious isn’t that bad pairing after all. At least I like Helacious in fanfics, TLW is another thing. And this certainly makes it easier to accept what is coming in season 3.
i didn’t think that i could like helena…but after reading these stories i can see her point of view…glad to see that she isn’t the bitch we thought she was…as for Dana it sucks but Alice can do better…besides think of the sex scenes these two experienced lovers can come up with…looking forward to your next post.
Fuck! I put off reading this for almost a week because in my heart of hearts I’m a danish shipper. Which of course means, I don’t really want either of them with anyone else. But you are also one of my favorite writers on these boards and I knew, I just knew that I was going to love this story–And damn it I do.
Despite my love for the danish, I love this story. I love Alice/Helena and I can almost see how they are a better match for each other–almost. Anyway, great job. Loved the Mommie Dearest reference–My mom and I used to watch that together all the time and then my mom would always do the “no more wire hangers” scene imatation–so I got a good laugh out of that. I loved, loved the ending–it was sweet.
I will continue reading this story, it is to good not to.
