“Why must my poison darts be miniature?” Helena wondered, making Alice laugh and the car repairman entirely curious about the two women approaching him in the process.
Not that either of them particularly cared about that.
—
Random acts of kindness were not something Helena was used to. Firstly because things in her life were always planned and secondly because kindness always had a reason behind it in her world. Thanks to her last name that Alice Pieszecki appeared to be so fond of saying, people had always wanted something. Being a Peabody granted her great wealth and great advantage but it did as much harm as good in the realm of relationships. Mainly because it caused Helena not to trust them. In some way or another everyone she became involved with was effected by the Peabody name.
Usually they wanted to know her because of it. That was her appeal, she knew quite well. Her family with their fortune and seemingly glamorous lifestyle, they were what people dreamed of having in this world and she had grown up with it. So she was constantly envied for it, for the money and the power and the family.
The family was the only thing that mattered to Helena though.
And strangely enough, the family was the one thing that she never really got in her life. Not even with her marriage to Winnie and the entrance of her children into her life. Because the marriage ended abruptly and without reason and her children, whom she loved above all others, soon might be taken from her. Then there was matter of her love life, it had been in a state of consistent shambles since Winnie left. And she wasn’t used to that… all of her life the only thing Helena really wanted was love. To love and to be loved. And right now the only love she had was that of her children and though it ripped at her heart and soul to admit it, she longed for more than that. She wanted what she thought she had with Winnie.
Someone who loved her for being Helena and not for being Helena Peabody. Someone who loved her for who she really was and not what they had made her into. Someone who knew who she was, completely, and accepted her despite it. Someone who loved her even with all of her faults and Helena was well aware, thanks to her mother, how many she truly did have.

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.
