itsallovernowThat's right, here's your chance to tell me exactly what to do. (Okay, that's a lie, but I want to write, and I'm fried and I need direction).
So, a poll:

Date: 2007-09-18 07:09 pm (UTC)Vala'd said she'd leave when she was ready and she did, spending the night liked she would once in a while when they both needed someone to press against who didn't need soft words or explanations.
The note's literally a 15 second missive, an FYI, and he and Teal'c get quietly drunk a few days later, and when Daniel calls, voice hard and glassy, they tell him the truth. He hangs up on them, and e-mails Cam later saying "sorry". Saying he can probably find her if they need her.
Cam doesn't bother to reply.
It's a surprise when Sam shows up, sitting on the bed in his onbase quarters. She's let her hair grow a little, looks a little softer, a little older, a lot happier. Command's been good for her.
He doesn't ask why she's there because he doesn't actually need to. It's been a long time since he was the new guy. He sits down beside her on the bed, and she takes his hand and they just sit for a few minutes.
"Remember when..." she starts and he doesn't actually need to hear the words because he usually does remember, the way she looked when she was so terribly young and fresh and already ingrained in the military tradition, just like him. A perfect mirror.
Years later, when they met again (tumbling through the cycles as friends and lovers and something more and something less and finally, later, as colleagues, as a team), he knows that she's a scratched mirror, slightly warped, and that he can't see himself in her any more. Perversely, that makes him cling even tighter.
"Do you miss her?" Sam asks.
"Do you miss this?" he counters, wanting to say us, me, although us is more accurate.
"Sometimes," she says. Pauses. "But not always."
That's fair. Hurts. But it's fair.
"How long can you stay?" he asks, and squeezes her hand again.
"Through the morning." She leans into him. "I've got a briefing at 8."
That makes him laugh, lets a little of the tightness in his chest ease.
"You're not actually here for us," he says.
"No."
He folds her up, and she allows it. He draws the comfort from her, and likes that she can just be quiet, strong, let him take and still keep her self.
"Buy me dinner," she says, finally. "Teal'c's waiting."
"All right," he says, and thinks about later, and whether he'll kiss her, or whether he'll just go to bed alone, but a little less so.

Date: 2007-09-18 11:37 pm (UTC)Heh. Very few pairings compel me to write them, really, but I can be persuaded. *g* And SG-1 wasn't a hugely shipper-y show for me, although I just wanted Vala to be HAPPY and therefore get Daniel cause hey, she obviously loved him. I just don't see Daniel/Vala being snippet-material, you know? It'd always have to be a bit longer, with a deeper undercurrent or an angstier edge.

Date: 2007-09-19 02:54 am (UTC)Cam...some time around end of S9 when he's lonely and Sam isn't yet coming across
Aeryn...after John's "death" and before she allows him back into her life
both seperated from their companions thanks to a wild assed electomagnetic storm that's playing utter freaking havoc with everything
she thinks it's John and he knows that's NOT Vala buuuut........
BTW I have always wanted to write this premise but I suck at writing lately

Date: 2007-09-19 04:17 pm (UTC)And you're right, I should totally make a list:)
