Alice lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. That could do with a paint, she thought to herself, as she noted the peeling edges and tiny cracks running throughout the surface. There were even a few spots that had been darkened by previous tenants who had probably smoked far too many cigarettes in this room.
That is another pro for Tasha, Alice thought, as her mind returned to its original stream of thought – she doesn’t smoke. Alice made another check for Tasha in the “plus” column of her mental list.
Neither does Lara, the voice of her inner devil’s advocate chimed in with its characteristically annoying persistence.
Damn. Still even.
Alice sighed and turned her head to look at Tasha, who was sleeping quietly in bed beside her. Although Tasha had come home with Alice after the welcome home party thrown in Lara’s honour at Shane and Jenny’s that evening, she had only really done so as a matter of habit. After her near-kiss with Lara, Alice had spent the rest of the party being unusually quiet; eventually she had feigned having a headache in order to go home early. Although Alice was sure that Tasha was suspicious about her behaviour, she hadn’t said anything about it, which was a welcome relief for Alice. She had no idea what she would have said if Tasha had asked her about her feelings for Lara; she could barely explain it to herself at the moment.
After they went to bed, Alice had pretended to be asleep until she heard Tasha’s breathing becoming slow and even. Since then, she had lain wide awake, staring at her ceiling, trying to figure out what she was supposed to do about Lara. That was when the pro/con list had occurred to her. Although Alice knew that compiling a secret list of Tasha and Lara’s positive and negative attributes was a horrible and judgemental thing to do, it was the only way she could deal with her confusion over what had happened tonight.
So far, her list looked something like this:
Tasha –
Pros: stable, sensitive, thoughtful, attractive, non-smoker.
Cons: still mostly closeted to her friends and family. Also, she seems quite jealous about Lara; but, I can hardly blame her for that now, Alice thought guiltily.

great update, im sure tasha is a nice person but seems like alice n lara really should be 2gether.
wow blue you keep out doing yourself which is just great! I agree with laura1888 Tasha seems nice and like alice said shes the “safe one” and safe is boring… lol so hooray for the laceness btw that last part was hot hot hot keep it coming! plz post soon :)
Yay, swipe away with any lines, it makes me feel part of the process, thanks;) And don’t think for one minute that your updates are in any way ‘boring’;) This was a H.O.T. one, you must be given a prize for One Who Knows How To Leave Us Hanging. Yay for the idea of exploring some potential reasons why Lara might be doing the bolting thing, you are so good at giving us really believable character insights and development. And hellooo, our two heroes are so obviously smitten–gah! and they don’t know what to do with it, double gah!! Love it. As others have commented, Tasha seems great but…hopefully she’s also smart enough to realize that Alice’s mental checkist? Very telling…! Good luck with work stuff and post as soon as you can.
Ahh! You’re back and I couldn’t be happier. Great work as usual. Can’t wait for the next installment.
This is amazing. Just three(!) chapters in and I’m completely enthralled, involved, and… wow. This is great. Keep up the consistent postings– er, good work. And please let Lara stick around long enough to shake off the “runner” label. Cheers.
Oh man..why does a nice/safe person always get left out in the cold..lol. Its unfair for an innocent party to get hurt but i guess a story needs some drama..*sigh* Be gentle on Tasha so Lace can be merry on their way :)Thanks!
AHHH!! What was Alice thinking!? This situation totally sucks…no one can ever get anywhere because they’re both thinking too much into things. I mean, Alice needs to just drop Tasha because she obviously wants and loves Lara. Lara…she’s so sweet and I feel for her soo much and I wish they could get it together. Sigh..but love is never ever that simple. I can’t wait to see what happens between them in S4 IM PUMPED! Anyways, i can’t wait to see what happens next between these two. You’re fabulous and I love this fic! Update soon love! :)
Fuck a Duck! What a chapter! Thank you so much! I’d love to read more about lara’s background!
One step closer, I hope. Lara is better for Alice then Tasha. Im curious to see what happens next.
god I love this when will they just sit down and talk about how they feel and I feel that there is still so much to come from this story please post soon great update I love it
man…they were so close…dang!! lol i loved the beginning. talking about the smokers and then “Damn, stil even” had me laughing for a while there! great job as always, post more soon!
Alice has already made up her mind which girl to choose. I mean, to only look at the pros and cons of Tasha vs. Lara says enough. ;) I didn’t see that kiss coming. But yeah, attraction like that can’t be denied. You can try to hide it, but it’s pretty difficult. Especially when the other person is feeling the same way. I don’t think Alice wants to be deliberately unfaithful to Tasha. She’ll proabbly be torn between these two women for a while. I wonder what she will do next…more precise, how and when will she dump Tasha? ;)
i’ve only Just discovered your story a few days ago!in the moment alice & lara are advancing to my favourite couple.the two of them simply belong together.i hope that in the series it will actually come to that.i enjoy your story & hope to read more soon.my friends at work wonder why i’m lounging in front of my screen on my brake reading on this site. lol.
Now it’s through the haze of jet lag that I’ll comment….as you can see, I am TOTALLY addicted, as I feel it compulsory to log on and check to see if you’ve updated! (besides, there’s only SO much fun you can have at Oktoberfest, before you run the risk of spending a night in jail…..we stopped full shy of that!)….enough about that….GREAT update! I have to say, I do love the way you write the characters. Lara is so quick to avoid confrontations, and Alice is so analytical about everything (LOL at her final “check for Lara”). Really true to what we’d expect based on the character development from TLW. Your insight and spin on the relationship is really a delight (read here “IC, it’s not too late to change your mind and bring Lara back late season!!!”). And finally….Alice in the parking lot with the mini on the lawn….sounds like something you’ve either done or experienced! LOL….we have a restaurant nearby that has a perfect lawn for a mini….and one always seems to find it on Saturday night! Yet another benefit to the teensy things. Thanks for the post….good luck with work and looking forward to reading more!
Hey mini, how are ya?Great update, simply fantastic and I’m running up the walls for more at the moment. I’m hooked. Lace ship really is the place to be. Post soon!
