Tumbling Down
At first, Helena wondered if it was a wise thing, to get involved with
such a person though it pained her to see anyone in that kind of
torment. The reason being her children and their welfare but with every
moment spent with Alice, she could see the pain slowly chipping and
falling away, until finally the writer released all of the anger in a
nonstop well of tears, clinging to Helena, her body shaking with sobs.
Crying and crying until finally it was gone, the black cloud hanging
over her soul, and she was tired and drained but at long last she was
free.
Which is when she saved Helena.
Saved her by seeing past that veneer of haughty self confidence and
suave charm to see the woman who was considered never good enough by
her mother. The woman who was told constantly by others who she was and
what she felt. The woman who had every instinctively kind gesture
picked apart and analyzed until it could be seen as something holding
an ulterior motive. The woman who watched others debate the validity
and truth of her love for her children simply because they didn’t share
the same blood. The woman who never once had a relationship where she
felt completely certain they were with her because she was Helena and
not Helena Peabody. She saw past all that and found the real Helena,
the one who had been hiding since childhood, buried underneath the
crippling weight of the opinions others held of her, and pulled her out
into the bright light of day.
Without a doubt, Alice knew the real Helena Peabody, and perhaps other
than her children she was really the only person who could claim such a
thing. The truth of this matter was a sad reality, this is true but not
as sad as the fact that they both had been searching for something so
impossibly simple all of their lives only to be denied again and again.
And that was the love of another person.
The simple kind of love, the kind that doesn’t go away, that doesn’t
waver or experience doubts, the kind that lasts a lifetime and beyond.
That was all either of them wanted but it was lost to them and with
each failed relationship they thought perhaps they might never find it.
But then Alice found Dana and Helena found Winnie and for a time, they
were happy and it seemed they had finally gotten their fondest desire
of the heart. And then it disintegrated. Dana having doubts about her
ability to commit to Alice for the rest of her life and Winnie with a
biting confession that she had never wanted to spend hers with Helena
in the first place.

wow…that was the craziest thing i have ever read…DAMN
Meant to add when I commented earlier that I like your definition of ‘sane’ in the author’s note: not planning a road trip to Canada = sane. I’m sane (well, for now at least)!
oh my! you are amazing – i’m still in denial about the spoilers – but if ic could get you on the writing team, i might be able to handle it! wow!
It’s Helena’s turn for happiness and understanding. Besides, she’s sooooo sexy
This is excellent Dreiser! I salute you!
I’ve never really liked Helena, but you gave her an actual personality and also made me completely fall for her. The choice Alice has to make seems to be impossible at this time.
Loved it, loved it, loved it.
DUDE. You totally know how much I love this story, because I told you as much, like, 50 million times while I tried to find out this story’s ETA.
Damn. Angst and sex, you know that’s my favourite fan fic combo. I think you nailed it, really. The love Alice and Dana have for one another, how similar Helena and Alice really are and how the bond would emerge from that. It’s all so fucking good.
If I weren’t already on board with Helacious, this would totally sway me over.
That brings a new meaning to angst! I love your rules of attraction fic but never post so thought id do so here. Loving the drama in that at the moment too but it has got me guiltily craving the fluff! I think after the fight in that they deserve some make-up worthy of chapter sixs extravaganza? Just a thought!
OK so you’ve left us with a cliffhanger in Laws this week, but all is forgiven. This was amazing. You made me love Helacious, or at least really feel for Helena. Funny, sad and hot.
this is great and I love it just like your another story is there anymore to this one though as to when and where alice makes her decision about the two women in her life if there is more please post soon
Tumbling down in deed…Wow, great one shot story. I admit that the way you wrote Helena made me almost want Alice to chose Helena. With that said, the danish shipper in me just wouldn’t allow that thought to linger for to long–though if all goes to hell in season 3 and the writers were able to write helena as human and as affectionate as you have, then i could be splitting some time between two ships…and because i am a perv loved the sex scene. helena, alice, dana, oh my…good stuff. And one last comment: FINALLY Alice is the one being fought over. Loved it.
someone finally wrote a threesome that was not trite and boring! good for you dreiser. Wow. But does my heart ache for Alice, Dana, and Helena. I wish one of them would declare, whomever you pick Alice, I still love you and you are guarenteed my friendship for life. At least if I were with her thats what I would say… because even if she didn’t have sex with me ever again it would be enough to be in her presense as her friend her colleague and her confidant. Colla cavod (congratulations in hebrew), Dreiser you make LOVEALICE think and write very lengthy comments with no particular point. Great story.
Peace and Love,
LOVEALICE
everything you write always turns out sooooooooo entertaining, gr8 story BUT will u still continue with a part 19 in L.O.A?? it’s killing me 2 see whats going 2 happen…??
Damn girl you are so good that almost I want helacious more than danish; I said “almost” :P. If IC can give us this Helena it’s gonna be very interesting her interaction with Alice :D
I can only come up with three words. Pure Romantic Torture.
Wicked! Give yourself an affectionate slap on the ass for this.
I absolutely love this fic. I have been searching for some good fic with the Dana/Alice/Helena triangle, and I found some amazing work here! It’s very easy to relate to all members of the trio, both Dana and Helena for being so devoted to Alice, and Alice for loving them in return but not knowing how to choose one over the other. Keep up the outstanding work and please post more fanfic asap!
