My notes:

A 3-part series that starts by following Daniel and Vala during “that scene” in Unending in part 1 (A Love-Hate Thing), then showing the rest of the team observing the changes in D/V’s relationship in part 2 (Cats, Candles, and Confessions), culminating in the meatiest part of this series (part 3 – I...

One Step at a Time

Written by besully

Fandom: Stargate: SG-1

Ship: Daniel Jackson/Vala Mal Doran

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

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

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

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.

And when you’ve stopped running we’ll rest

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

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.

My notes:

Daniel touches a mysterious crystal (which is just so Daniel) and starts experiencing various alternate realities and timelines his life might take. Not being able to discern what’s real as he’s living each moment, it sends him spiralling gradually into madness as SG-1 (plus Jack) tries desperately to save him. ... Read more

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.
