Together

Rating: General audiences

Taking place a few weeks after Unending, Vala is having trouble dealing with the emotional side effect resulting of her plan from Dominion. Daniel helps her resolve her issues.

My notes:

A lovely introspective piece told from Daniel’s POV. After Vala’s reminded of one of her false Dominion memories, Daniel follows her as she runs off. They fall into an honest conversation about her fears of what relying too much on people is doing to her, and it helps Daniel reflect on Vala’s behavior over... Read more

Unended

Rating: General audiences

5 times Daniel and Vala’s missing 50 years bled over into the present, and one time it didn’t have to.

My notes:

Thoughtful little moments that gave Daniel and Vala déjà vu from their lost time on the Odyssey, and a realistic exploration of how they might end up having that much-needed talk about where they stand with each other. I love that their words essentially stay the same, but they’re said without as much hostility sinc... Read more

One Step at a Time

Rating: Teen and up

A series of scenes starting immediately after 10.07 Counterstrike and ending after 10.20 Unending, detailing the progression of Daniel and Vala’s relationship.

All Vala wanted was to conquer the challenge Daniel had unwittingly presented. Once she had her victory, she’d drop it and Daniel wasn’t sure he could survive that.

My notes:

Told from Daniel’s perspective, a small behind the scenes look at Daniel and Vala’s relationship as it evolved after Counterstrike onward. I love the introspective yet cautious way Daniel navigates his need to be around Vala without challenging his comfort zone or confronting his feelings too directly. He’... Read more

No Turning Back

I’d been battling Daniel to see who had the greatest self-control for far too long, and I wanted to surrender.

My notes:

I love this. I 100% know they eventually collided after a moment similar to the one in Unending – just like it happens in this story. Vala will finally need to make a move because while she’s as scared as Daniel, she can’t help but feel her feelings. Daniel will shove what is happening down into his comfor... Read more

So Comes Love

Rating: General audiences

A version of how Daniel and Vala, with a little nudge from Teal’c, finally get together. Post-series, following “Unending” (S10E20).

My notes:

This is just SO quintessentially Daniel. Everything about this. In fact, I’m pretty sure this is exactly what would happen if Daniel found out anything about what happened on the Odyssey.
