“Jenny,” began Alice hesitantly, not really sure what to say but wanting to say something. Because to be honest, while others found the petite brunette strange, she always had a certain unexplainable affection for her strange behavior or not. And she knew all too well what it felt like to be in love someone who didn’t love you. Those blue eyes, deep and endless and filled with so many emotions focused on her and Alice found herself at a loss. “I’m sorry,” she finally offered lamely, feeling frustrated at herself for her lacking the words.
“I didn’t come here to throw a pity party,” Jenny said quietly, offering a sweet smile. “I just wanted you to know that I might understand a little of what you’re going through. And also,” she leaned forward and said this in a playful hush. “I think it would do both of us good to be around someone who isn’t in the middle of a happy shiny new relationship.”
“Solidarity amongst the single people?” asked Alice wryly, taking a drink of the wine and grinning at Jenny. When the petite brunette gave a tiny and almost shy nod, she chuckled and clinked their Muppet glasses together in a toast. “I’m all for that.”
“I’m glad,” said Jenny happily. Tilting her head to one side, she gazed at Alice for a long moment and grinned when the blonde returned the gaze rather blankly. “What are you doing Friday night?” she asked suddenly, her grin getting wider.
And so began the friendship of Alice Pieszecki and Jenny Schecter.

“There,” Helena said in Alice’s ear, her hands placed gently on the blonde’s arms to move them closer to her body and raising them up. “Isn’t that better?”
Looking over her shoulder at Helena as they continued their jog along the beach, Alice lifted an eyebrow and said in between breaths, “Not really. I’m still running.”
“Clever, darling,” drawled Helena fondly, moving to run at Alice’s side. “You are ever so clever.”
“When you say it, somehow it no longer seems like a compliment,” said Alice in wry observation. Reaching over to lightly tug on Helena’s curly hair that was pulled back in a ponytail. “I think it’s that fancy accent of yours that does it, Ms. Peabody.”

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).
