Something that didn’t escape Jenny’s attentive notice.
—
The time was a little past two a.m. when Alice put her car into park on the street in front of Helena’s house. They faced each other with matching grins and the brunette reached out to push a lock of hair from Alice’s eyes and murmured, “Thank you so much for inviting me out tonight. I had a lovely time.”
“Me too,” said Alice, grabbing the hand and squeezing it gently. Her eyes twinkled and she said in a bad cockney accent, “Lovely, wot!”
“That was horrid,” said Helena, scrunching up her nose in distaste and grabbing Alice’s nose playfully to shake her head side to side. “If you must do a British accent, at least do it properly.”
“Is this the treatment that the woman who hooked you up with the woman who is roommates with a woman who worked for a woman who could possibly run your studio deserves?” asked Alice in nasally tones of offense and mock glaring at Helena.
“Darling,” Helena the word gravely, releasing Alice’s nose and putting them a breath apart as she cupped the writer’s face in a tender hold. “Whatever it is you think you said makes not the least bit of sense to me.”
“That’s because you squeezed my nose too hard and cut off the oxygen to my brain,” accused Alice playfully. “You’re responsible for killing even more of my brain cells. I bet that pretty soon I won’t even know the square root of a hundred.”
“You actually know such things?” asked Helena with grand skepticism.
Narrowing her eyes, Alice reached down to poke the British woman in the sides in the start of light tickling, making her companion squeal and twist away from her touch. “Don’t you insult my math skills,” she declared in haughty tones. “I’m all about hypotenuses!”
“That’s geometry, not algebra,” Helena wheezed through her laughter, trying her level best to escape the tickling but finding it difficult as the size of the mini did truly live up to its name.
“It is?” asked Alice, frowning and stopping her tickling attack. She grinned and ducked her head down to look at Helena who was panting slightly from all the tickling. “You’re cute,” she drawled fondly, laughing and hugging the British woman who froze at this. “Are you going to call Veronica Bloom? I don’t know much about her but I hear she’s good at her job.”

so ok – you were totally right – i loved dana’s pov and it totally makes sense and you just rock for the way you make me still love her even though she broke Alice’s heart.
And again, you were right, Jenny is the perfect friend for Alice and Helena and her ‘weirdness’ fits perfectly and is something endearing in this, not off putting as it is on the show.
And finally – the comfort that alice and helena find in their shared experiences, insecurities and needs was just perfect! Loved it – but then again, knew I would! Great job!!!
Bagpuss Rocks I and my friends were bought up on him. Best British kids tv show ever!! Bring bagpuss to the world!
Hey now… lol. I’ve got nothing against Bagpuss! The show was cool but I’m mildly freaked out by it. Then again, I’m mildly freaked out by lawn gnomes too. Brrr. Lawn gnomes. Anyway, Helena and Jenny like Bagpuss. They just find it somewhat disturbing, much like me. =P
You’re good.. you’re good. You actually MAKE me like Helena… ;)
Positively loving this, anyone who takes the time to properly write Helena *and* who writes her so damn well gets heaps of gold stars in my book. =) And I’m even picking up on the joys of Helacious =D Squeee
This is great! It’s nice seeing Helena portrayed as someone who does actually have a good side! I’m enjoying it very muchly
Thank You! For reasons in no particular order:
1. For writing Jenny in a way that isn’t about her “bad” weirdss. For actually writing her as someone who underneath all the complexities i still someone who can be kind, and defintely someone can see Alice having a friendsip with.
2. For Dana’s pov–I danish shipper at heart and will be, damn all season 3 spoilers and what not, and even though this is helacious story at heart, there are still those undercurrents of Danish, which will always be true for me, no matter what happens with them.
3. For writing helacious in such a way that even I, as a self proclaimed Danisher, can enjoy and even root for. I can only hope (perhaps foolishly)that the writers of TLW will do as much justice.
You are by far my favorite Fan Fic writer on this board–effortlessly weaving stories together that explore connection, love and all the good stuff in between.
I loved this and I’m a little upset that you got four stars considering some of the crap on this board that gets five stars. Dumb fuckers.
Anyway. I already told you what I liked, but I think my favourite parts were getting into Helena’s background and in her head, particularly with her father and the issues she has with her mother and the thing about her running. Ha! I always got lost running cross-country and as I told you, getting lost 13 times is nothing to me because I got lost a lot more times than that. People totally do get lost! And how cute was it that Helena was all fixated and upset that she placed fourth after going a mile and half out of her way? Priceless and so her because she would totally demand so much of herself even at age 15.
And ohh, that last part with the phone call and the dinner arrangements and everything? God.
You’re killing me with Helacious cuteness!
great as always
Not content with making us love Helacious, now you’re going to make me like Jenny! This is a great chapter. The insight into Dana: the scene where she watched Alice in the Planet was just painful. I loved the scene at the end when Alice called Helena. Great mix of tension and humour. And, finally, speaking as someone from the UK: don’t knock Bagpuss! (OK, it was weird, what can I say).
