Together

Written by BkWurm1
Rating: General audiences

Taking place a few weeks after Unending, Vala is having trouble dealing with the emotional side effect resulting of her plan from Dominion. Daniel helps her resolve her issues.

My notes:

A lovely introspective piece told from Daniel’s POV. After Vala’s reminded of one of her false Dominion memories, Daniel follows her as she runs off. They fall into an honest conversation about her fears of what relying too much on people is doing to her, and it helps Daniel reflect on Vala’s behavior over... Read more

Unended

Written by Rina
Rating: General audiences

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

One Step at a Time

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

Rediscovering Odysseus

Rating: Teen and up

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

Break the Lock

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

The Places You Don’t Walk Away From

Just as Rory adjusts to her big news, life throws her for another loop. As she dives into a new project, she reconnects with an old friend and begins to wonder: Can you ever move forward by going back? Post-AYITL.

My notes:

Just… absolute favorite. Rory’s evolution and growth is beautifully done. Excellent characterization, and really lovely and realistic interpretation of Rory and Jess.

So Comes Love

A version of how Daniel and Vala, with a little nudge from Teal’c, finally get together. Post-series, following “Unending” (S10E20).

My notes:

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.
