Save the Last Dance
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
At Jack and Sam’s wedding Daniel finally gets a dance with the very popular Vala Mal Doran. It just takes a little prodding from Cam to get him there.
My notes:
This is so deliciously tense.
Unended
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
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
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
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
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
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
The Back-up Date
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
Vala reluctantly helps a friend. The night doesn’t go as planned, but no one is complaining! Oneshot. DV with mention of other character.
Left Unsaid
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
Daniel and Tomin have a heart to heart, and both learn a few things in the process.
My notes:
This is such a subtle and yet intense conversation. The power of things left unsaid is all throughout this story.
So Comes Love
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
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.
I Didn’t Know
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
Daniel Jackson didn’t know what love could be until Vala Mal Doran disrupted his life. He didn’t know she would become something he needed, but she did. Only question is, was he too late?
Forever Changed
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
In this moment, they are forever changed. Missing scene from Unending.
Field Notes
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
Vala reads Daniel’s field notes and finds something unexpected. Cheesy one shot.
