Helena, through Peggy, funded the great majority of our trips, and all the other things we all tried to do for Dana. We watched as Helena got cut off from the family fortune at Peggy’s insistence, and Dana said later that it was the best thing that could have ever happened to the girl. She used her head for business and started an after school/foster care facility for the poor and abandoned kids of LA, and she was fucking great at it. She and Peggy got really close, and since Peggy always had a fondness for me and for Dana by association, she was more than happy to pay for everything. Dana protested at first, since she had more than enough money to take a few trips, but Peggy was a little too much for Dana to handle in that kind of confrontation. I had to laugh when she came home and said dejectedly, "Looks like I won’t be paying for our vacations."
Dana and I started sleeping together again on a semi-regular basis not long after. A lot of the time, I’m not sure what we did would even qualify as sex, but for me it was so much better and more intimate than what we’d done before. We’d usually just take off our clothes and hold each other. It sounds so simple, but it’s not. I can’t even really describe it, but it makes me feel so connected to her. I know Dana worries sometimes. I guess she thinks I might not enjoy it as much…I wish I knew how to tell her that it’s better, but it seems to be a topic we’re both afraid to bring up. Pretty soon, I started to miss holding her like that on the rare nights I didn’t get to.
It was probably the best year I’ve ever had. Dana was happy, even though she was more quiet since the cancer. She was a lot less concerned with her appearance, and even when her hair started to grow back in an sort of afro, she didn’t care. Shane had so much fun braiding both Dana and Angelica’s hair that it became a regular thing. Bette wanted to kill all three of us, but Tina loved it. Angie just loved Dana, and started to toddle after her like a puppy every time she came anywhere near her. Shane and I came to the conclusion that they were bonding over their common hairstyle. It made everybody else laugh, but Bette just scowled and started ranting about race and people’s perceptions. It didn’t matter; everybody ignored her.

I hate to just repeat what everyone else said…but yeah, wow. I don’t think I’ve ever cried from fan fic before, but tears actually welled up in my eyes by the 3rd page of this. I almost didn’t read it because I want to live in a delusional fan fic universe where Dana dying of cancer is never part of the equation, but I love your writing so much I couldn’t resist. I’m bracing myself for the outcome, but I know it’ll be worth it if the next 2 chapters are anything like this one (and I’m sure they will be).
Awesome!! That’s all I can say with a lump in my throat.
Perfect.
You.Slayed.Me. That was pretty fucking great.
Wow. I Don’t even know what to say it’s just amazing
Wow…that’s pretty much all there is to say. I’m supposed to be writing a paper, but i stopped to see if anything new was posted and i’m glad i did! This is such an awesome story, its so real. Please continue and SOON!
Dana’s death really was handled poorly on the show, both last season and this one (so far), so I’m interested to see your interpretation. This was an excellent first chapter, though I know the heartbreak is coming. Thanks
you got me all so teary eyes :'( liking the closure that we certainly didn’t get on the show. also the first person-thing. it’s done perfect :)
I lost my longest friend recently to cancer so this opened those wounds. It is a poingnant story and well constructed and written so the reader is a participant. Please continueJackie E
Ok, I just have to say that I pretty much started crying on the second page, and now that I’m finished I still can’t stop crying. That was…my God. There are no words for all the love and emotion you just created between the two. 5 pages of your story proved their love more than storyline IC could have written. Please post the rest of this story soon, although I’ll have to remember to grab an entire box of tissues next installment. Great job.
Amazing! I love how you are writing this…I like the 1st person angle, it works! I am almost crying, but I am at work and that makes me want to cry on its own…no seriously you have a gift! Looking fwd to all your posts for all your stories (YOU, Weather the Storm and now Valediction)
really good and so sad.
