Work to Do Chapter 10
Whimpering, Alice slid down the wall and out of Dana’s
embrace. “I’m sorry,” she gasped haltingly. “Dana. Sweetie. You’re
killing me here. We either need to change the plan or I need a cold
shower.” Alice bit her lip and gave Dana a “what’s it going to be?”
look.
Dana laughed shakily. “I could probably use that shower too
Al, but I guess taking it with you would defeat the purpose.” Giving
Alice a quick peck on the cheek, Dana escaped to the living room.
With considerable regret, she made up the couch and flopped onto
it with a scowl. She hadn’t been this confused about her relationship
with Alice and where it should go since the night of ‘Provocations.’
The night Alice had kissed her and changed everything. More
accurately, the night Alice’s kiss had exposed everything, forcing them
to examine their relationship.
‘Provocations’, Dana snorted. “How the ***** did we end up
back here?” Half asleep, she recalled the night that seemed to ***** up
half of West Hollywood.
The California Arts Center-
“PROVOCATIONS”
The opening had been stressful pretty much from the moment Dana had
entered the CAC. It seemed everyone she knew was either cranky or upset
about something.
Bette was tighter than a drum. Jenny had been blindsided by
Marina. Shane looked lost. Alice, when she wasn’t mocking Dana and
Tonya’s outfits, had been distant. And Tina had left the opening
looking really shaken. Only Kit seemed to be having a good time.
Through out the evening Dana had noticed her friends were either preoccupied or outright avoiding her and Tonya.
Tonya had complained to her in the past that Dana’s friends
ignored her, and Dana was beginning to have to agree. She was
disappointed that they didn’t make more of an effort, especially Alice,
and Alice was the worst offender.
’What was wrong with Tonya?’ Dana questioned. From the beginning
Alice had seemed to dismiss their relationship. At first she seemed to
find Tonya simply annoying, but then over time she appeared almost
angry with Dana herself. Dana was frustrated.
She hated that Alice was making her doubt herself. Doubt Tonya.
Okay. Tonya was ambitious. Dana saw that. But it was hard not to be
flattered to be the focus of that attention. It had been exciting to
have this talented and very enthusiastic event planner introducing Dana
to sponsors and industry people who all seemed to share Tonya’s bright
vision of Dana’s future.

“I’m no Lady-Gray.” Lady-Gray/layla-gray, are we sure we’re not the same person. We have asked this before you know.If you do start posting under a different name, please, I’m begging please let me know, so I don’t miss any of you wonderful stories. That’s with or with out steamy sex.By the way I did the same thing with my name and email. So when I googled my own name sure enough there were my stories. Whats even funnier is my name is Deb, so I guess if anyone googles my email the cat is out of the bag. LOL
Very good. I loved the Dana/Bette scene.
Oh how I look forward to your updates. I love this story. And so that my family and friends don’t find out about my “dirty” secret of reading L Word fanfics and commenting on them, I changed my user name to something totally unidentifiable to me. LOL!
I also loved how you filled in the gap left by the show. I was also happy to see Bette having meaningful interaction with Dana. Sometimes Bette seems so removed from the other characters.
I’m getting ready to read the story, but I had to comment now because I loved your Author’s Notes. Don’t worry – you are not the only one who spends WAY too much time reading and writing TLW fanfiction. I’m not very keen on most of my friends knowing about my most recent obsession either. ;-)
Fist off I just wanted to say that this was the best Damn Author’s Note I’ve ever read! Secondly I just wanted to alert you that putting you new alias in the Author’s note might still make it accessible to those you don’t want to see it so you may want to change it. Third if you do change it let me know because I’m looking forward to reading that filthy story.But seriously I loved this chapter you write the all of the character so well. I also really liked the flash back because it gave a lot of in site into what happened. Thanks!
I was laughing already at the author’s note. Let’s hope your mother’s more Lenore than Sharon, then . . . (though, on the other hand, no ‘excessive use of the verb “thrust” . . ‘ – I’m thankful for that at least!) I’m off to google ‘Capesquad’ now too. The flashbacks and Dana/Bette were great. Love the way you write.
I love it and I think what bette said to dana is mostly right about alice but can’t wait to see what happens next please post soon
Ask anyone – I am officially the hater of season 2, I think it’s pretty weak after season 1. Very badly written and awkwardly rushed. You really know where you’re going and you’re doing great. You don’t have to promise me anything accessories and / or food. I’m with you reading this all the way :)
1. Love the Bette and Dana’s scene, I like this side of Bette and Dana feeling a little out of place after the breakup was so in character.2. Dana continuing with Tonya after the 4am kiss was well explained, thanks for fill in the gap left by the show.3. I’ll be waiting for that flithy fic under “the artist formerly known as capesquad” with unrestrain glee.
hey capesquad – great job. I love this line – “Where Alice’s kiss had been an admission, Dana’s response was a declaration”. Its so true. Great update. Post soon.
