You (Part the Second)
Dana didn’t answer for a second, just pulled her in closer. As frustrated as she was with Al’s recent behavior, this was a really good sign. Alice was protecting herself, but in an effort to get herself together a little. “Yeah, I think that might be a good idea. But will you do something for me, Al?” She felt Alice nod on her shoulder. “Okay. I think talking this out has done us both a lot of good, so maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea for you to, I don’t know, maybe consider some professional help? Not that I think you can’t work through this on your own or anything.” She was stopped in the middle of her monologue by Alice’s laughter.
“It’s okay, Dane. Really. And yeah, I’ve already signed up for some group therapy at the Gay and Lesbian Center, sort of a talk-it-out kinda thing. Well, actually it was Helena that signed me up for it. But I’m going. She’s taking me this afternoon.”
“Good,” Dana sighed. “So Helena’s…helping you?”
Alice smiled at the confusion she heard. And even she had to admit that it was a little weird, since Helena had been such a bitch before. But that was probably because none of her other friends knew that it was just Helena’s main defense mechanism. Once you broke her out her rich-girl shell, she was a damn good friend, which was something Alice had really needed since the rest of the family had sort of turned their backs on her. Which was totally understandable, given that they probably came to the same conclusion as Dana had about the radio attacks.
“Yeah, she is,” she whispered. Dana just nodded, not altogether surprised. Alice had always had a way of bringing out the best in people, and she’d been pretty much abandoned by everyone else. Dana still felt horrible about that, and decided to try and fix it.
“Um, do you think we could all hang out again? I mean, not on a one-on-one basis until you’re comfortable with that…I just miss the whole family. Al, I’m really…I don’t know…I think it’s shitty that we don’t all hang out anymore.” She was a little surprised when Alice met her eyes and smiled, looking more like her old self than she had in months.

This is so much more real than what IC told us I hope she is reading as well. You lived up to your talent without a doubt. I love what you are doing with this story and will continue. Maybe even keep Dana alive because that’s what all us Danish readers want. Anyway please keep writing! You made my day a little better.
Great job! I really enjoyed it. This is a much more believable direction that Danish is taking. It’s good to see them talking it out. In my opinion, they need each other. Keep up the great writing. I can’t wait to read more.
I love the direction your heading with this story,excellent update!! Your doing one hell of a job muted,PPS
Ok, totally love this story. If only IC could have written something so great… and Danishy believable. This is so much easier to grasp than the shit IC put our girls through. Please update again soon, because I am really enjoying this story, even though this was only the second chapter! :-)
Even thought it’s breaking my heart that they did break up and Dana did go back with Lara — an Alice turned to the pills, so far you’re doing it in a way that at least has a direct relationship to the characters as we know and love them. Although I gotta say the above things were also three of the top four reasons (and that’s jus the Danish!) S3 is just to painful to think about, so I hope you’re gonna fix it, otherwise I just might need Alice’s meds all over again. Really looking forward to your next update.
Just got caught up with this fic, excellent job, Muted, it’s like the lost scenes we’ve needed. Yay! Danish friendship is not dead, and having this on the real show would have answered so many “WTF?”-type questions of how things played out on-screen. Is Dana going to let Lara know about her reconciliation of sorts with Alice? I like that you don’t have D and A just jumping to getting back together, but rather, talking about misunderstandings and…moving on (in whatever way/s you’re taking them…?). Can’t wait to keep reading the next updates, please post soon!
I like that you are allowing them to slowly heal. Dana’s illness will probably crop up soon, but I hope you give Alice some time to get stronger. In an out of character move for myself, I hope they don’t get together any time soon. I really like your story.
Why oh why couldn’t it have happened like this? Great post, pps :)
