“Right, because we usually pour over the awful things in our lives.” Jack drawled sarcastically. Daniel gave him an unimpressed glare

^_^ I thought it was important to point out that even though Daniel has been pressing Vala to share her feelings almost all of Season 10, that the rest of them don't really talk about their feelings unless it's really really huge (at least not on the show).

I'm so glad you liked the confession scene, I reworked it sooo much to make it sound more natural :S not sure how well I succeeded but I'm happy you enjoyed it! ^_^

What she went through with Ba'al, despite his involvement in her nightmare in this chapter, will actually only come to light in the next chapter. But I think it's a known thing now that Vala is a master compartmentalizer, really able to separate herself from her emotions and memories...at least that's what I was trying to get across ^_^

Thanks so much for your review!!

Got to admit though, pretty much all of season 10 was pretty much "heavy" where it concerns Vala.

And good point about the compartmentalizer aspect of Vala's personality.

Oh by the way, been working on my stories, hopefully I'll have something going up on ffnet soon. That is if it actually starts working properly again.

Yay! I'm glad to hear it! I hope you got my review for the Council Meeting, stupid FF.net is getting on my nerves with all the bugs and resets. -_-;

First of all, strawberry scented pillows, loved it, but then I got irritated on Vala's behalf because the only strawberry scented shampoo I know is made by Suave or White Rain and is the cheapest and lousiest shampoo out there. And the conditioner is like coating your hair with...with...well, something nasty and sticky like milk and sugar

[milena_d]

Lol ^_~ That really was some awesome ranting ^_^ but don't worry, we all have those days. Really sucks that Suave mangled your hair :S it did great things with mine!

Thanks so much for mentioning my favourite parts: the crouching by the door and the falling asleep on him. And for mentioning the part I was most worried about: the I love you's. I'm so psyched you thought it was in character! ^_^

Thanks so much for the review! And you're lucky you're only a little nuts most of the time, I'm only a little normal most of the time ^_~

*wiggledance* This gave me the warm fuzzies!

And it makes me want to cuddle. Lol!

This chapter rocked. I especially loved "Take of your shirt." It's the kind of thing you'd expect her to say and yet, the context and atmosphere is completely different. Great job! =D

[milena_d]

Aw, thanks! ^_^ I kept falling asleep while I was writing the cuddly scenes ^_~ I figured it meant I was doing a good job getting the mood across!

And I totally noticed that too, about the "Take off your shirt." I didn't plan on writing it like that, I just noticed it when I was editing, cool eh? ^_^ Lol. Thanks for the review!! ^_^

[magnavox_23]

This chapter is so full of squee! XD

I loved it all, as always. The 'Take off your shirt' comment was my absolute favourite. Oh my *hearts*

[milena_d]

^_^ I was waiting for a 'squee' factor analysis!! Thanks! ^_^ I'm glad you liked that line cuz it was totally overhauled a few thousand times! ^_~ Thanks for reviewing!!

[odakota_rose]

Eep.
*Dances*
That was adorable. I loved the sitting on the floor thing and when he woke up it was even better!

Sorry I wasn't around, our internet's been a little wonko the past few days.

[milena_d]

I'm so glad you reviewed! I've been worried since my regulars haven't been around, I thought I'd really bombed this chapter :S Thanks so much!! And the sitting on the floor was my favourite part too! Everything I wrote for the chapter revolved around that one idea, I just couldn't wait to write it! ^_^

Thanks again for reviewing!!

[odakota_rose]

*grin* No way, I loved it!
It's always awesome when you have one of those moments where a scene pops into mind fully ready to be written and then you write the rest of the story around it.

no problemo =)
