“This is an adventure,” said Alice, swinging their joined hands and peering at the portraits on the wall. To then frown at some of them as they walked along. “How come your house is filled with so many paintings of naked people?”
“This isn’t my house,” corrected Helena with a fond chuckle, looking at one such painting while they continued on. “And I rather think my mother is fond of the naked people. She tends to keep them around in the droves.”
“My Mom would love to do the same,” remarked Alice impishly.
Peering over her shoulder at Alice who was falling slightly behind as she looked at the countless naked people paintings, Helena smiled and drawled teasingly, “Then we shall have to make sure our mothers never meet, won’t we, darling?”
“It would be Clash Of The Titans,” Alice snickered.
“Oh?” Helena lifted an eyebrow in droll humor. “Why not Whatever Happened to Baby Jane instead? Or does Joan not rock in that film?”
“Joan rocks always!” cried Alice with hearty protest. “But that movie freaks me out,” Alice shuddered on recollection. “Bette Davis with all the crazy make up.” She started to say something else but found herself running into the British woman when she stopped abruptly in her walk. Rubbing her nose and frowning, she looked at the brunette. “Helena?”
Meeting Alice’s gaze apologetically, Helena smiled and offered, “I believe we’ve managed to locate my room. Would you like to have a look?”
“Sure,” said Alice hesitating because of the air of sadness the heiress had about her. “I mean, if you want to,” she said quickly, suddenly not sure if this was a good thing to ask. Helena didn’t seem very happy and if there was one thing Alice knew something about, especially lately, it was not being happy. She considered herself a pro at spotting the signs. “We could always go explore some more. You know,” she grinned widely. “Find more of your Mom’s illustrious collection of naked people paintings.”
“Thank you but no,” said Helena with a chuckle, pushing the door to her room open and reaching for the light switch. “I had quite my fill of the naked people paintings during the brief periods in which I lived here and I have no desire to relive the experience.”

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.
