Different ending to “Course: Oblivion,” VOY 5×18, if the Silver Blood Voyager had been able to launch their probe prior to disintegrating.
My notes:
This is such a sweet and fun episode coda for Course: Oblivion. They really capture Tom and B’Elanna’s dry banter and teasing nature while grounding it in the straight-forward, pragmatic way they deal with each other in serious moments.
An alternate ending for The Shroud that’s somewhat light on plot, but heavy on the fruitcake.
My notes:
A lovely little moment set near the end of The Shroud where Vala welcomes Daniel back home and can’t hide how she’s worried for him. One of my favorite quotes: Vala could light up rooms with that smile. No, that cliché was inadequate — she could light up planets. Whole planets.
When Tom and B’Elanna are falsely convicted of an act of terrorism and thrown into an alien prison, they have to rely on each other until Captain Janeway and the crew of Voyager can rescue them. They revisit old ghosts and form unexpected bonds while they fight to survive, but being back on Voyager doesn’t necessarily mean they feel safe again.
My take on The Chute and its aftermath, leading into The Swarm.
My notes:
A really fantastic take on the premise “What if it was Tom and B’Elanna imprisoned in The Chute?” The author immerses you in what living through that experience would have truly been like, and how it would impact Tom and B’Elanna’s relationship with each other, both during and afterward.

Five times Daniel and Vala were forced to work together, and one time they weren’t
Being a typical mother brings it own special set of emotions. Being the mother to the Orici brought not only those, but an extra dose of complicated emotions – ones not so easily navigated. A look at the inner turmoil Vala Mal Doran must have felt over the child she never got to keep. Vala centered with team/friendship, and some Daniel/Vala sprinkled in.
My notes:
Sigh. I love them. And I love our girl Vala. She deserves Daniel and Daniel deserves her and they deserve everything they want in life. This is a great ‘moments in time’ piece showing some key moments through season 10, AoT, and beyond that drew Daniel and Vala together.
Vala has come to the realisation that Daniel will never have feelings for her. Moving on is easier said than done, especially if Daniel has anything to say on it.
My notes:
I love how anti-climatic Vala’s ‘realization’ that Daniel will never want to be with her is. She doesn’t flee or do something dramatic, she just asks Cam to give her some space from Daniel at the SGC so she can try to get over him. That, of course, isn’t sustainable long-term, and Vala has noti... Read more
The twelve days of Christmas are generally typified by two people giving and receiving certain gifts to each other. Sometimes not even on purpose.
My notes:
The sexual tension in this story is bonkers. They capture both Daniel and Vala’s personalities and the flirty, cautious, defensive little dynamic between them so well. I checked if there was a sequel about Daniel and Vala’s week off at his place—because, honestly, I need that in my life—but it sadly does not... Read more
Vala remembers fun times with Daniel and her friends while making a scrapbook. Be warned that some chapters are kind of sappy.
My notes:
Very heartwarming and lovely ❤️
A series of texts between Daniel and Vala when he’s on a trip without her. Short and silly.
My notes:
This is such a flirty, playful little fic. Love it.
Daniel’s the one to slip in.
My notes:
This is a beautiful character study of Vala. So well written.
