Work to Do Chapter 10
Later that morning as Dana approached the caf, she found she had
butterflies in her stomach at the prospect of seeing Alice. She shook
her head amazed and wondered if Al was nervous too.
Dana had been surprised and more than a little disappointed to
find no one from the group at brunch. “What gives” she’d wondered.
Marina told her that none of the crew had been in all
morning.
At first, Dana told herself Alice was just exhausted and probably
catching up on all the sleep she’d missed the night before. But after
several days of not hearing from her and missing her at the Planet,
Dana concluded that Alice was avoiding her.
As more time passed Dana became less confident about what Alice
was feeling and more bashful about her own emotions. When she did
finally see her, it was with the gang and Alice made no move to talk to
her alone. She treated Dana as she always had, though perhaps she was a
bit more remote.
After a while Dana concluded that Alice wanted to pretend the
whole thing never happened. After years of taking her cues from Alice,
Dana deferred talking about it. She continued on with Tonya and tried
to forget her feelings for Alice.
ALICE’S APARTMENT-Present Day
Still on the couch
Dana had many treasured memories of getting together with
Alice. They used to joke that their ‘courtship’ took place in the
bathrooms of West Hollywood.
But she tended to forget about the time between Provocations and
getting together. Their undeniable attraction for each other had
covered up a lot of issues that they never really went back and
addressed.
”I should have known then, when she kissed me and ran,”
Dana mused.
A few hours later the sun woke her. She cleaned up after herself and left before Alice was awake.
THE PLANET -later that morning
After Dana’s workout she went back to her condo and showered.
Feeling restless she decided to try the Planet for
company. Alice would be at the radio station at this hour, which was
probably just as well.
Dana arrived to find Bette and Tina packing up Angelica and the huge assortment of things they now needed to go anywhere.
Tina was taking Angelica with her to run errands. She had taken
the day off from her production job with Helena’s studio for some much
needed catching up.

“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.
