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

So Then

Rating: Teen and up

An alternate ending for The Shroud that’s somewhat light on plot, but heavy on the fruitcake.

My notes:

A lovely little moment set near the end of The Shroud where Vala welcomes Daniel back home and can’t hide how she’s worried for him. One of my favorite quotes: Vala could light up rooms with that smile. No, that cliché was inadequate — she could light up planets. Whole planets.

Complicated Emotions

Written by DesertKactus

Fandom: Stargate: SG-1

Ship: Daniel Jackson/Vala Mal Doran

Rating: Teen and up

Being a typical mother brings it own special set of emotions. Being the mother to the Orici brought not only those, but an extra dose of complicated emotions – ones not so easily navigated. A look at the inner turmoil Vala Mal Doran must have felt over the child she never got to keep. Vala centered with team/friendship, and some Daniel/Vala sprinkled in.

My notes:

Sigh. I love them. And I love our girl Vala. She deserves Daniel and Daniel deserves her and they deserve everything they want in life. This is a great ‘moments in time’ piece showing some key moments through season 10, AoT, and beyond that drew Daniel and Vala together.

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...

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

Written by besully

Fandom: Stargate: SG-1

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.

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

Love this little slice of Jack’s perspective on Daniel and Vala. This quote is beautifully put, and exactly why I think Vala is so good for Daniel: It wasn’t that he liked seeing Daniel taken down a notch, though, of course, he did. It was that Daniel had, over the course of the decade Jack had known him, manage... Read more

To Patch With Gold

Ship: Daniel Jackson/Vala Mal Doran

Rating: Teen and up

He looks at her then, really looks at her, and she knows he is seeing all the cracks in her, all the places she is broken and doesn’t quite fit together anymore, all the things she tries to hide . . . Funny how, now that she starts to see them, the cracks in him look a lot like the cracks in her.

They’ve both been through so much. The question is, will it bring them together or irrevocably push them apart?
