Five ways Daniel and Vala ended up together.sidljSeptember 29 2008, 18:32:40 UTC
1. In Vala’s dreams. (many, many times) Daniel doesn’t want to hear about it.
2. In an alternate reality. (several times over) Daniel tries not to think about it.
3. When AMTDI. (a couple of times) Daniel feels horribly conflicted about it.
4. In a timeline that only Teal’c remembers. (one time; for a long time.) Daniel wonders about it.
5. In a cabin in Minnesota. (the first time) Daniel knew nothing about it. He went there to meet Jack as scheduled and found Vala instead, with a note from Jack. By the time Jack turned up the next day with a truck full of groceries they’d worked up quite an appetite.
But they took the time to thank Jack very, very, very nicely before diving voraciously into lunch.
Vala volunteered to cook their supper, and kindly took her own sweet time doing so.
And Daniel served Jack and Vala breakfast in bed. Jack, exhausted, had fallen back asleep, so Vala ate hers and Jack’s, too.

The rhythmic conceit of the Daniel doesn't know/tries/feels etc. works really well in this one -- love how you do that sort of thing with so many of your lists. :-)
And you I know won't be offended if I use my only Daniel and Vala icon, even tho it's a friendship icon. *g*

Great set of stories! Love the variety of ways you concocted to get them alone together for long enough to develop more of a relationship, and love the honeymoon 'suite'. The last one's my favorite, probably because I feel so much sympathy for Daniel in that situation, and it seems so appropriate for Vala to offer him an alternative out of her own knowledge of the galaxy and her own adventurous spirit, and in that one they really choose their own fate. Plus, yay for Jack at the end. Thanks for doing these!

She was going to need to keep up her strength.

Oh, I love it when I can find a pattern of some sort to help flesh out a bare-bones list.
(Hey, and I remembered to screen myself! *iz proud, but pride goeth, etc., and I'm sure to get it wrong next time, lol*)

And yay for successful screening. :-) :-)

Oh, what a creepy look at AU!Daniel. Vindication at such a cost, to the planet and to his soul. *shivers*
Loved #5! *g*

And I do think that's why Unending worked for these two -- they need time enough to break down the defenses and realize the attraction and the fit.
