Sorry I didn't comment before now. I was delighted to see you return to finished this. I was quite saddened and annoyed at whoever it was that convinced you to drop it originally because they thought you had the 'voices' wrong. It was worth the wait.

That's ok. There are sooo many fics I read and forget to comment on. No big deal.

Yeah, I forget who it was that said I had Vala's and Daniel's characters wrong, but it did really affect me. The other problem of course was coming up with a satisfactory ending. I was so attached to the idea of taking Daniel out of Season 9 and then putting him right back in, no sweat. And then I realized stupidly that I couldn't just reinsert them back at the end of Season 9 and let Season 10 play out, I'd totally changed their dynamic. I couldn't rely on the show's ending, I had to create one of my own...and that freaked me out to no end. Having Adria be Daniel's daughter too wasn't just a twist, it was a HUGE thing. I didn't want there to be a confrontation anymore between child and parents. If Daniel and Vala weren't on the same page about what to do with Adria, that could create a humongous rift between them (like if one wanted to kill her and one wanted to save her), and then I wouldn't get my DV happy ending, and I had to have a happy ending,

Hi! I just finished reading this- it was awesome! I am sooo very late to the Stargate scene- its not even funny. When it was on, I wanted to watch, but I had to work, and when it came on an I was home, there was nothing but confusion because I was basically starting in the middle. So, thanks to Amazon Prime, I watched all 10 seasons of SG1, and I'm on season 1 of Atlantis.
I totally liked this pairing and I just can't get my mind around some other pairings that I've seen on FF.net. You write well, and I want you to know you have a captive audience in me for any more Daniel/Vala fics!

TTFN!!

Oh good lord, I'm so sorry for not replying to your comment sooner. I've been wrestling with a cold for the last two weeks but still, that's no excuse. And you said such nice things too. Bad, Erin. *slaps hand with ruler*

Thank you for reading this huge fic of mine. And I'm glad you liked it too. :) I understand what you mean about being confused when you start a show in the middle of its run. I got interested in SG1 around season 10 so I had to play catch up too. ;) It was worth it though, the D/V pairing is so fun.

I have a few D/V fics here in my LJ. I'm not as prolific as other authors, but I write my fair share. And I've got 2 or 3 in the works or bouncing around in my head, trying to get to paper. ;) You could check out this LJ community: http://daniel-vala.livejournal.com There are some great fanworks there. :)

Thanks again for commenting, and I'm sorry for not responding 'til now.
