Scenes that made up the Vala/Daniel relationship.
My notes:
I’ll have to reflect more in-depth on this story later, but this is gorgeous. It starts with ‘the scene’ and the fallout of it, but it skips forward and back in time showing little moments in time of how they changed over the years. I get serious Bill & Frank vibes from The Last of Us in how they prese... Read more
Five times Daniel and Vala were forced to work together, and one time they weren’t
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:
Very heartwarming and lovely ❤️

My notes:
The imagery this writer creates and the way she describes the nature of Daniel and Vala’s relationship is truly beautiful. Every sentence seems perfectly crafted with another poetic observation of their push and pull with each other. Favourite part: “But he can’t do that to her; that’s how they work. They mi... Read more
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
