But not in a good way.
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I mean, Vala ties him to the bed, prepares to have her way with him, and he asks her to go get his reading glasses and an artifact.
No, no, you need something else in there.
Like...they all go offworld and they get jumped by the Orii and Daniel loses his GDO and Vala never had one anyway. Cam and Teal'c get away. D & V have to hide in the woods and steal food from the local's gardens and stuff.
So there's keeping watch, and guarding each others' backs, and whispered arguments about what to do next. She loses a bit of the high-maintenance stuff, because it's necessary and she's competent. They each save each other's life once or twice. Perhaps there's some small injuries. They're living in each others' pockets for a week or so, without the pretense and with no room for annoyance: if they don't get along, they'll get killed.
Not a lot of overt bonding, but a slow growth of respect on both sides, and Daniel realizes that there are ways in which Vala can be trusted, even if she's still a con artist.
I don't see sex on a bed: it's in the dirt, hiding from the bad guys tromping around with torches and spears, without words, and with most of their clothes on, desperate and hurried. And afterwards, they don't talk about it. Much.
Hmm.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
See, I don't really do plot. But you seem to have a good start...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fay, how did your eBay adventures in shopping go? Well, it looks like...

Well, I now have Seasons 1 - 7 SG1, Seasons 1-5 of Babylon 5 and Season 4 of Alias. (Not yet available in the UK)
In the shops here, SG1 is retailing at £30 per season, so that's £120's worth of DVDs for around £50. B5 is at £55 per season, so that's £275's worth of DVDs for around £50. Alias ain't available. I'm very chuffed. If only they were selling Farscape. Sigh. £100 per season in the shops. Cannot afford it. Cannot.
Ficwise, though, I'm finding Veronica Mars by far the most tempting source material right now. SUCH interesting and messed up characters. Whom I want to poke with sticks, or maybe, you know, rub salt in their wounds a little. And then kiss it better. And maybe bite them.
Um.
La la la. Nothing to see here.

What color are Team Fay's pompoms? Pink and silver?
