Five ways Daniel proposed to Vala.

1. He has an old friend from college pose as an antiquities dealer. Jamil was a theater major and he’s naturally scrawny and flamboyant, so he does great villains. He’s eager to help Daniel, once he’s assured he won’t be shot by the SFs that trail her when she’s off base (why? Because she won’t stop breaking laws, that’s why

[qtheallpowerful]

Wow. That is great. Funny and so very IC.

*g*
I love it, that was so them :D

[holdouttrout]

if you say no, please don’t steal it

Hee! So perfect!

2. The nurse brings the baby in to nurse, and as she hands him over to Vala, she says the birth certificate needs to be filled out before they leave the hospital, and they need the child’s full name

“Why do YOU get to be captain?”

“Because it was my idea, Daniel.”

Oh, that's so perfectly them. Great job on these. :)

[scifi_tv_addict]

Two more hilarious stories. Loved the ending of the first one, "We'll be the Mal Dorans." I seriously laughed out loud on that one!

[teaphile]

“We’ll be the Mal Dorans.”

So very, very Vala. I can see Daniel going along with it, too.

4. Daniel drinks three glasses of what he thinks is alien fruit punch, and when he wakes up three days later, he realizes that it wasn’t. The rest of SG-1 is probably going to blame this on him, but they seem to have been sequestered in their own little huts to sleep off the bender

Absolutely terrific! I especially like 2 and 3, where Vala has the last word.

And 5 is so easy and natural that Daniel can't even get squicked, hard as he tries. And Jack gives it the thumbs up, so \o/.

[kalquessa]

These are all great. #3, in particular has my undying devotion. Of course Teal'c watches The Wedding Story, and of course he showed it to Vala.

[niamaea]

I love these -- all so fun and shiny! The last line of #1 is absolutely perfect.

(There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that Teal'c watches TLC constantly.)

Five ways Daniel proposed to Vala.

1. While high on painkillers. She said no, with great regret, and he’d forgotten all about it by the time he recovered.

2. On bended knee, with a ring in a box and everything. She unfortunately laughed. Oops. She’s waiting for him to speak to her again, and blaming Teal’c for having told her about this Tau’ri custom and terming it “Elderly School”.

3. Absentmindedly, while working on a translation for SG-6. She said yes, but he wasn’t really listening, since he’d just come to a really fascinating bit…

4. Offworld, in a sweetly scented garden, with moonlight. From two moons. Vala’s eyes sparkled like stars as she said yes.

5. With a nervous and hopeful looking Jack beside him. She said yes and was whisked away to Minnesota for a pre-wedding honeymoon.

[sidlj]

Well, it was a honeymoon for three of course, so Jack let Daniel do the talking, hoping that she'd be won over.

And naturally it worked like a charm! ;-)

1. Publicly, not at all like he'd planned.

Doctor Jackson's lab was tucked away in a back hall of Atlantis, far away from the hub of the action. A little inconvenient sometimes, if they needed him right away for something, but Daniel had turned down every suggestion that they move him somewhere less off the beaten path. He was here to do research, he said, not supervise the anthropologists. He figured any social scientist that would make the half mile trek to his office really needed to talk to him.

But the population of the city kept increasing, and Daniel wasn't so far off the beaten path anymore. Quite a few people heard the exchange.

"Tell me."

"No."

"Are you having an affair?"

"..."

"Of course you're not having an affair. I mean, really. What woman would have you?"

"Well...you"Yes, but I'm crazy. Everyone knows that

[6beforelunch]

*g* Thanks!

[odakota_rose]

*melts*
That was awesome, it was sweet and yet funny too.
