Previously…
Tasha set her glass down on the counter and moved towards the writer. She gently placed her fingers under her chin and lifted her head so their eyes met. “I’m ready to talk about it whenever you are”
“I’m scared” admitted Alice
“Why?”
“I lied to you”
“Oh”
“Well not a lie exactly, more like a sin of omission. That night when we found Phyllis on my doorstep, you told me you don’t do drama. I let you believe she was the drama in my life. If only it was that simple” Alice tapered off.
“Alice I’m not foolish enough to believe that you don’t have baggage, that you don’t have a history. What I said that night, I was referring to public drama, about not wanting to get caught up in some ongoing saga that was being played out. Your story though, what you’ve been through, what’s made you who you are today, that’s different, that I can do” assured Tasha.
“Now let’s order some food, then we can talk.”
If submitted to a lie-detector test, neither woman would stand much of a chance of convincing anyone that the silence in which they found themselves was comfortable. They sat at the table, the pizza box between them now empty each finishing off their last piece. There was an air of expectation in the room. Conversation had been stilted while they ate. Tasha had spoken more about the accident and Alice had filled her in on some of the news stories she had missed while she was away.
Finally the soldier could take it no more. Even though she realised that the potential existed for this to end badly for her she wanted to try. If there was a chance at pursuing a further relationship with the writer she wanted it. She awkwardly cleaned the fingers of the single hand she’d been using to eat on her napkin and remarked in a tone which she hoped mirrored the sincere intention behind it;
“You two were clearly very much in love.”
Startled out of the silence, Alice abruptly stopped picking at her pizza crust and looked up. She followed the direction of the soldier’s gaze to the photo of herself and Dana which still stood proudly in its place. She hesitated unsure as to how to respond, she looked to the soldier’s face for a signal and found only patient acceptance there. She was being provided with an opening, this was her opportunity if she had the desire and more importantly the courage, to talk.

that was great and I can’t wait to see what tasha has to say but whatever she has to say will be good great update pps
Why is it that when I search stories about Dana & Alice, I see this one? This obviously is not a Danish story, you’ve pretty much made it clear where you wanna take your story and I think you’re just using D&A’s relationship for that. Can’t belive that after killing Dana and now trying to convince us why A&T are good for eachother, some people still think that you’re a Danish writer…bah…whatever. You and IC would make a great team, the only difference between the two of you is that your writing is more beautiful. So, what I’m saying is that I would really apreciate it if you just don’t select the pairing of D&A next time you post. Thanks and please excuse my English.
Hello wonderingaloud, First I must say Brilliant job… this story is just so full of vibrant emotions… I can’t see why this story shouldn’t be classified as a Danish story as their relationship is the fundamental draw for this story. Yes it deals with it by referencing the past… but that is where their relationship is… in the past.. and this is Alice and everyone else finding their way to finally say goodbye… to realize the love they shared for their friend and move on… for me this is definitely a Danish story… one that slowly will transform itself into a story that will not exclude Dana from the family but include Tasha… for Alice’s love for Tasha is just as real as her love for Dana just different. You are doing a brilliant job and I cannot wait to see where you take this… One more package to open if I recall… Sincerely, JC
Great job. Poor Alice. I don’t know how she could have to strength to tell all of that to Tasha. Danishalltheway. You said you searched the stories. I am assuming you started from the top and this one was recent. I am also assuming you didn’t read from the beginning. I am glad you expressed your opionion but if you read from the beginning you will see why it is Danish and an amazing one at that.KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
Great Up WA…welcome back. The similarities between Tasha and Dana are becoming more evident in terms of their sexuality and the impact on their careers and their love for Alice with all her quirks (and she has a few). Alice’s attraction to Tasha is questioned by many, but Tasha is strong in her opinions and holds herself and everyone else to a higher standard, but she also believes in live and let live in a very non-judgmental way. She tries to hold Alice back from the extremes in a way that Dana did too. Thanks for writing. Love this story. PPS.
Welcome back i have waiting for the rest of this story and how muhc dana’s letter effected everyone, just love reading the rippling effect of her letters!!! she has gotten everyone talking finally!! :) great update!
aw, you know I’m a one of the Danish forevahs but tat doesn’t stop me for liking Tasha, I must say, I like this Tasha even more though. Nicely done
Just excellent, wondering. Although we know the story, it is interesting to hear it from Alice’s perspective — especially when that perspective is talking to a new girlfriend. One of the many things that bothered me about Dana’s death on the show is that the characters seemed to have forgotten her. I love how you have her still be in the their thoughts and that they actually talk about her. Great work. Thanks so much!
I love this story so much, great to see you continuing! And don’t worry, this is so obviously as Danish story…how could it not be, with all the Danish you have in it? She can’t be alive in every single fanfic, and I’d say the multiple chapters of memories more than qualify. I’m generally not a big Tasha fan, but I like her in this. I’m glad she’s being there for Alice and letting her unload some memories of Dana. I think that might be why I dislike Alice’s character this season, she seems so lost and I think it has to do with unresolved grief. Anyway, love this, and I’m working on a reply to your email. Whether I ever finish it is another matter, I’ve been incredibly lazy recently.
Dana’s passing is still a hard thing for me to accept, but this is such a great story. You continue to do an awesome job with this and the growing relationship between Al and Tasha. Thanks for the post.
Great seeing Al’s version of what happened…hadn’t realized the similarities between Dana and Tasha before, guess to busy waiting for Shane’s scenes :) can’t wait for the rest of the conversation
