After Dana’s memorial, when Lara had surprised her by kissing her passionately, Alice had taken to another habit in order to feel something – she and Lara had begun meeting each other almost every night. At first, their sex was characterised by a need borne not so much out of their desire for each other, but out of their shared grief over Dana. They had both felt an incredible amount of guilt over the circumstances around Dana’s passing; Lara for going to Paris when Dana was sick, and Alice for leaving Dana’s bedside just before she died. They had both understood each other’s pain like no one else could; so, they had taken comfort in each other in order to feel close to Dana.
But, their late night meetings rapidly began to take on another quality that neither woman expected. Rather than meeting for wordless, perfunctory sex, they began taking their time with each other. They even started to talk together. As they got to know each other as both friends and lovers, they had quickly realised that they cared about each other, not for their connection to Dana, but for their own unique qualities.
But, as Alice had felt herself getting more and more emotionally invested in her relationship with Lara, she had become frightened. Frightened of falling for someone else, of opening herself up to feelings that could ultimately hurt her. Having just lost someone so dear to her not once but twice, Alice didn’t think she could suffer through yet another loss. So, she had tried to distance herself from Lara. Yet, no matter how hard she tried to avoid Lara, she couldn’t seem to stop herself from falling for her.
That was why it had been so painful when Lara had told her she was moving to New York. It seemed to confirm all her worst fears about Lara’s lack of feelings for her – that Lara had only ever seen her as a temporary distraction from the pain of losing Dana, that Alice had been merely the quickest replacement for Dana’s memory.
Yet now, looking back on that time with the benefit of hindsight, Alice knew she had effectively sabotaged any possibility of a meaningful relationship that might have developed between her and Lara. She had continued to take Dana’s medication even when Lara had asked her to stop, and she had wallowed in her depression, making it nearly impossible for Lara to get close to her. When Lara had left, Alice had angrily accused her of abandoning her; now, she saw that she had unconsciously shown her the door.

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!
