Complicated Emotions

Written by DesertKactus
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.

After finding Vala and convincing her not to run, Daniel drives them back to Cheyenne Mountain

or: a(n almost) coda for Memento Mori

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...

The Unending Story

Written by WolfenM
Rating: Teen and up

Stories of life aboard the Odyssey while SG-1 and General Landry were stuck in the time-dilation bubble of the episode “Unending”.

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...

Walls

Vala breaks down walls. Jack approves. Set post-Counterstrike, pre-The Quest.

My notes:

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

T-Minus Forever

Written by swordsmith
Rating: Explicit

Daniel and Vala’s relationship has grown in the past month since they’d discovered just how much they mean to each other aboard the all but doomed Odyssey. Stuck in a time-dilation field with not much else to do, Daniel is tortured by Vala’s positively indecent dress…

This is set during S10 E20: Unending, in the time-dilation field aboard the Odyssey, a month after that pivotal scene where Daniel and Vala FINALLY get together.
