One Step at a Time
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
Judge of Character
General Hammond has always believed himself to be a good judge of character, which is why, after an alien space pirate hijacked the Prometheus, he decides to offer the eccentric space pirate a chance to join the SGC, using Daniel Jackson as an incentive to persuade her.

Daniel and Vala learn how to get along. Be friends, even. They insist that’s all there is to it. They’re wrong.
Connect the Dots
A canon-consistent history from Threshold to Unity.
My notes:

Following Tom and B’Elanna throughout season 2 and 3, and filling in the gaps (or connecting the dots, as it were) between episode scenes, we’re shown their evolving friendship in much more depth than the show ever did. It’s head-canon for me now and I’m at peac... Read more
I Said Honey
Looking for a star to pray on, or wish on, or something like that.
Maybe Vala and Daniel would be less complicated if they knew what they actually wanted.
Between the scenes of episodes with Daniel and Vala: Spoilers starting from “Prometheus Unbound” and moving forward from there.

Looking Back: Nine Moments That Changed Things
Nine little scenes that bring Mulder and Scully closer together from Alpha to all things.
My notes:
A lovely progression fic with great dialogue. There is a particularly fitting analogy woven throughout their conversations about “taking ice cream out of the freezer”.
