Misappropriation of Lives
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
The past will always find you, especially if you have something it wants.
My notes:
This is kind of devastating but amazing. A really heavy one, but so fucking beautiful.
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
Overture in Slow Motion
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
Overture – noun
1) an opening or initiating move toward negotiation, a new relationship.
Slow motion – adjective
2) moving or proceeding at a slow rate.
Injuries sustained during his trip to Atlantis remind Daniel that “life is short”.
Incomplete
My notes:
Love this one. It really immerses you in the story and the POVs feel very realistic. It’ll probably never be finished, sadly, but if you read it as a prelude more than a full deep dive then it’s satisfying enough.
Walls
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
Vala breaks down walls. Jack approves. Set post-Counterstrike, pre-The Quest.
My notes:
Love this little slice of Jack’s perspective on Daniel and Vala. This quote is beautifully put, and exactly why I think Vala is so good for Daniel: It wasn’t that he liked seeing Daniel taken down a notch, though, of course, he did. It was that Daniel had, over the course of the decade Jack had known him, manage... 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.
And when you’ve stopped running we’ll rest
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
Daniel and Vala’s grown child carries the crystal back in time, and then has to figure out how to belong in our world. Unending AU. D/V. OC. All the team is there.
My notes:
This is a really thoughtful, introspective AU that explores the premise that, instead of Teal’c, Daniel and Vala’s grown son Kieran comes back in time and has to find a place for himself in this now altered timeline. His interactions with each member of SG-1 are nuanced and do each character justice, while intro... Read more
Honor Amongst Thieves
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
Vala Mal Doran steals a cargo ship, but wrecks it on a backwater little farm planet whose people don’t even speak a dialect she can understand. Fortunately, there is a stranger living among them who is able to translate. He arrived on that planet in a flash of light only months before, and has yet to remember who he is. When a conversation with the incorrigible thief leads him to remember his name, Daniel agrees to travel with her through the Stargate to find his past.
Broken Things
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
Somehow I had managed to trick myself into believing that that would be all there was. All that she would expect. All that I wanted. That we weren’t on the verge of something I couldn’t control. Couldn’t handle.
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.
Rediscovering Odysseus
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
The memories still didn’t quite feel like hers – like she was watching a film of another person’s life, knowing how they felt and why they felt it, but never quite actually living it. Spoilers for all of SG-1, AU as of the end of S4 of SGA.
My notes:
I love this AU so hard. I love the idea of SG-1 following Daniel to Atlantis, and Sam and Vala starting to remember their years on the Odyssey because of the naquadah in their blood. The way Vala responds to all of this new insight into her life with Daniel is quite nuanced and in character, and how she eventually confronts... Read more
