stargate_searchI couldn't decide on a proper way to word this without being so longwinded, but here it goes!
I am looking for slash or gen fic with any Daniel pairing in which he has chosen a celibate lifestyle for a period of time after he loses his wife.
I'd like his struggles to enter a relationship or his considerations on becoming more sexually active again to be a plot point of the story rather than a throwaway, "it'd been ten years since blahblah blah let's have hot monkeylovin," type of thing. Maybe a bit of character study on how hard it might be for him to get back into the rhythm of things or allow himself to get past a fear of getting hurt again.
After watching "Unending" again, I was really thinking about this bit: (courtesy of Solutions) where he says " There was a time when I thought I would never get over my wife. I mean, the idea of…being hurt that way again. But I've finally gotten to the place. I've finally, for the first time in a long time, have gotten to the place where I actually feel I could get close to somebody again."
It made me consider what it would be like for him in pretty much any season after his wife's death, and it made me wonder if anyone had written this kind of fic in like Jack/Daniel or Daniel/Vala or any of a bazillion Daniel pairings or crossover Daniel pairings. (I could swear I read a Daniel/Buffy or Daniel/Willow pairing that had this sort of hesitancy on his part, but I read most of those ages ago and can't remember.)
Thank you! I hope y'all can dig some up for me, because it'll end up just becoming another of the bazillion plot bunnies I have breeding in my head!

Date: 25 August 2008 01:34 pm (UTC)I'm surprised it's so hard to locate something like this! I posted this question a few places, and all I've gotten is what you have here and a story by someone named Joy that is in a rewrite process.
Though it's still kind of cool that this fandom is young enough that not every single avenue has been explored to death yet!
