Life Is Too Short

So, who else was totally looking forward to seeing Daniel Jackson on Atlantis? *raises hand* Me, me!! And, yeah, I would've liked there to have been a mention of Vala or Sam or anyone else from SG-1 but there wasn't. Oh well...no biggie. Oops...I should put this all in spoilers I guess... Okay, well I'll just premise this by saying that it's a D/V fic for right before Daniel goes to Atlantis. I don't think the story gives anything away, but my motivation might so here we go to the LJ cut...

( My take on the episode 'First Contact' )

 

( Ok, and here's the scene I wrote... )

 

So, I loved "Ark of Truth" =D lots and lots!!! =D =D I loved how Daniel and Vala interacted, the banter and the looks that spoke volumes (well, at least to me) and I thought to myself, "Self, how or when did Daniel first get his Merlin vision? What if Vala was around when it happened? Don't they seem more at ease during the movie, could you translate their 'more at ease' behavior in a fic?" I don't know if I did them justice. In fact, as I type this, I probably didn't get the gist of it at all....then again, that could be my low self-esteem talking and the fact that my parents just called and they have a way of making me feel like dirt. *sigh* Okay, I'm gonna try to go back to the happy feelings I had when I wrote this little piece. Here we go with a couple little scenes about Daniel's Merlin vision.

This is a separate fic from my Daniel/Vala stuff, and it's in the same alternate-universe as my other CV fic. Again, as much as I love Vala with Daniel, she seemed to have a lot of chemistry with Cameron too. I doubt this fits in at all in the episode. I actually didn't care if it fit, I sorta just wanted to write some more CV smut. *blushes* Oh yeah, rated R/NC-17. Mature/Adult content in here. Not for the kids.

Good evening, LJ. I seem to be taking much longer between my posts. It's a wonder I haven't lost all my fans. *blushes* But chapter 7 is finally here. I got a few more people to give me advice on this one: boutondor, djgirl2224, milena_d, lc59, hariboo_smirks. Thank you for all your help and advice. I've tried to blend together everything each of you suggested, so I guess you could think of it as our potluck chapter! :D

Speaking of food, I think ice cream would go well with this installment. And if you don't recall (because the author has been an idiot and not posted in forever) Daniel has just rescued Vala from the altar rings and is taking her back to the safe house. Ready, set, read!

Oh and here's links to the first six chapters.

Chapter 1	Chapter 3	Chapter 5

Good evening, LJ. The LONG wait is over. Chapter 6 is here. Get your popcorn and a glass of wine. Sit down and put your feet up. *smile* I hope you enjoy.

Good evening, LJ. I bring an update tonight. I think all the creativity has left my body because I'm twiddling my thumbs on how to introduce this chapter. So whatever...here it is, chapter 5 of "How Season 9 Should've Played Out" (ooh, that's not bad ^_^)

EDIT: Thanks, milena_dfor help with this chapter. Much, much appreciated!
And here's links to the first four chapters.

( Chapter 5 )

Howdy, got a new fic for y'all. :)  Yeah it's another in my PWP role-playing series. (The bunnies have attacked!) And by PWP I warn you all, it's rated R/NC-17 material ahead. Mature, adult content. Not for the kids.

I'm gonna try and post some pics, clips and songs I used for inspiration. I've never tried this so I don't know if it'll work. For Daniel's outfit I pictured Harry Connick Jr. in Hope Floats.

For Vala's outfit you'll recall her Daisy Duke outfit from the season 10 episode "Bounty."

For the line dancing song, I pictured Big and Rich's song "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy." Please note, this is not how I pictured the club itself, just the kind of people there and the types of songs they danced to. Forgive me, I'm a lazy writer, it appears.

For the slow dance, I heard Ronan Keating's version of the song "When You Say Nothing at All." It's actually a karaoke version, so you get the lyrics too. :)

Ok, so I've checked all the links and they seem to work. Yay! :D So onto the fic. Please don't throw tomatoes. I had some requests for this fic and I kinda wanted to write it anyway, so don't hate me. ;P

Standard Disclaimer: don't own anything related to anything mentioned above or below, just doing this for fun!

Hello, I bring an update this fine morning. Not much of an intro this time, please read and comment if you like.

And here's links to the other chapters (psst, they're posted right below this one).
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3

 

Hello, LJ! I've written a delightful little chapter for you. It follows right after chapter 2, so either reread that last scene (cuz you know you luv it ^_~) or maybe I could just include the last little bit. I'm so happy with this chapter and I have a much clearer picture of where this fic is headed. But I digress. Have fun reading this! And before I forget, thanks kalesbohan for the awesome beta job!!! You all really would have gotten a subpar chapter if it hadn't been for her ^_^

( Okay, okay, on with Chapter 3 )

Wow, that's a long title... Maybe I should try boiling it down.

Well, there's been an overwhelming response to this little fic, so I've decided to bring you chapter 2  <<the crowd cheers and the children wave multicolored flags>> (I can hear AT saying this line or something like it, but I don't remember from where, maybe the SciFi SG-1 pre-200 special, anyhoo...) I hope you like... From some of your responses, I think you all liked self-sufficient, snarky Daniel, and I've really tried to keep him in mind for chapter 2.  Hopefully I did alright... okay, okay, enough talk...

( Chapter 2 )

Please, please, please (as you can see, I'm not above begging) please let me know how this was.  I was so happy to hear such great things about the first chapter, and while I do love hearing great things, feel free to nitpick if you wish. The perfectionist in me understands that it can always be better.  Alright, alright, I'll stop talking now.
