Five times Daniel and Vala were forced to work together, and one time they weren’t
On the First Day
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
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
Texts
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
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.

Five times Daniel and Vala got married, and one time they didn’t.
My notes:
This one makes me tear up it’s so lovely. All of the fake marriage scenarios are inventive and delightfully amusing – their antagonistic banter is just on point. In contrast, the last ‘scenario’ squeezes my heart so brilliantly, even after having read this quite a few times. Vala pushes as she does,... Read more
No Place Like Home
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
Daniel and Vala discover that letting the NID deal with Athena is easier said than done. A Memento Mori sequel that resists simple classification.
My notes:
Both an interesting mission fic and a fun exploration into SG-1’s team bonding and banter-y shenanigans, of which I’m always a fan. The slow burn is delicious, heartwarming, and delightful, as D/V is wont to be. It’s worth highlighting the line “I’ve been so afraid of falling in love again that it took... 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.
Break the Lock
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1
Daniel and Vala learn how to get along. Be friends, even. They insist that’s all there is to it. They’re wrong.
My notes:
A wonderful slow burn that shows Daniel and Vala starting to spend more down time together after a shift in their dynamic has led to a bit of unrest between them. Vala has been demonstrating a genuine interest in Daniel’s archaeological passions for some time, and while that allows them to work together more seamlessl... Read more
