Alicia refuses to believe that she’s a gay icon, just doesn’t think it’s true, and it’s endearing and funny and awful at the same time - a woman this beautiful, this bruised. So Kalinda asks her out for drinks one night (they’re doing that again, and it’s different now, yes, but the core of them remains) and takes her to a place they’ve never been before

This made my night, seriously. One of my favorite things you've ever written. It's hilarious (and yes, yes, all I want in all the world now is for Kalinda to take Alicia to a lesbian den of inequity, make it so, Kings), but also sweetly poignant.
Things I love:
(She talks to her again, now. Long, personal stories, real feelings, real life. Kalinda wants to warn her, protect her, to stop her from being so trusting. I’ll hurt you again, she thinks. She doesn’t ever say it because she knows it isn’t true.)
KALINDA, YOUR EPIC LOVE, I CAN'T.
“I’m a lot happier with you.” That could mean anything, but it’s said honestly, seriously. It could still mean anything, but Kalinda can only cope with the obvious.
“Then I won’t leave again.”
Swooning. Swooning forever.
In conclusion: YES, YES TO EVERYTHING. Write all the things. ♥

Aw, shucks! Glad you liked. One of my fave things about this ship is that I can actually see a lot of the fandom-created PG stuff actually happening on the show, and Kalinda taking Alicia to a gay bar and then watching in amusement as she nervously fends off the lesbians is TOTALLY one of them.
Shooting from the Hip, Alicia/Kalinda, Owen, PG, 1/2damelolaFebruary 17 2012, 23:44:29 UTC
Owen gestures to the bartender for another round of shots. The lime wedges balanced on the rims of the elegant glasses are thick and juicy, shining under the bar's soft lighting. It's the kind of bar that likes to look classy up front to misdirect from what might be going on in the darker corners, and Owen's always been a sucker for a joint like that. He suspects that--somehow--his drinking buddy already knew that about him

"What?" Kalinda tries for indifferent, but there's no mistaking the hitch in her breath or the crack in her voice. "I don't know--"
"I know," Owen interrupts. "I've been watching people make puppy dog eyes at Alicia the Oblivious for pretty much her whole life. And you've got it as bad as any of them, Ms Sharma."
"I should go," Kalinda starts the sentence, but her body doesn't want to cooperate. Owen sees the way that her back gets just a little more rounded, how her shoulders slump in relief. He's been having these conversations since he was thirteen, and he knows the posture of the unburdened as well as anyone.
"It might help, to talk," he suggests. "I mean, I can't help you with how straight my dear sister is. Nobody can--"
And there it is, the flicker of something that he least expected. Guilt? Shame? No, something more like happiness, and it transforms Kalinda's guarded face for the split second that it hovers

I LOVE this! Thanks for writing this prompt and doing it so wonderfully. It was just as great a scene as I had imagined it would be. Now, if only it were possible to hear what Owen has to say to Alicia! :-)

Alicia finished her talk with her children a while ago; she couldn't help feeling guilty, like she isn't a good enough mom, Zach and Grace tried to reassure her, told her she's a great mom, but they don't know the whole story, do they

When they come to a stop in front of Diane's office, she finally realizes what they are doing: "you're breaking into Diane's office?", she asks in puzzlement

Ee! Nice interpretation of what happened after the ep. Haha, and one day we'll have Will & Diane asking each other if they've been mooching each other's booze! XPPPP
I especially loved the ending with the hug and Alicia whispering in K's ear!
