Wednesday | Forgive and Forget

Now that we’ve had our share of pet peeves it’s time to Forgive and Forget

Is your character holding a grudge? Now the time to have them let it go. Give forgiveness or let them receive it. Or give them Amnesia whatever floats your boat.

But remember:

No more than 5 prompts in a row, and no more than 3 prompts per fandom. If one of your prompts is answered, you can prompt again.

No spoilers in your prompts for at least one week after publication/air date. If there are spoilers in your story, you must warn in bold and leave at least 3 spaces.

And use the correct formatting. Examples:

Being Human, Goerge/Mitchell, After a full moon George feels guilty and Mitchell helps him forgive himself

Marvel, Deadpool/author's choice, It's all in the past....right?

Being Human/Torchwood, Jack/Mitchell, “Did you forget me so soon?”

Stargate SG-1, Daniel/Vala, I know I didn't technically forget anything, time was reversed, so, I guess it never happened. It just feels like I'm forgetting something.

She obsesses over what she hasn’t forgotten because it was never hers to remember. She starts by doing this vocally, pestering Teal’c while avoiding why she’s really asking. Eventually Teal’c tells her to shut up. He doesn’t actually say that, of course, but that’s what he means. And then he lights a lot of candles. It’s obvious that she’s not going to crack him unless she resorts to desperate measures.

So instead she quietly obsesses. Lots of stuff happened. If it hadn’t, Teal’c wouldn’t be so secretive now. She doesn’t just mean lots of kissing stuff. Other stuff happened, too. Maybe she took up a new hobby.

That one actually seems like a good place to start, and she goes to ask Teal’c about that one. He won’t talk about that either. Typically.

She very carefully doesn’t think about Daniel and what he might have done. She tells herself that this is because she’s more interested in what she did. Which she is. But she’s also interested in what she did with Daniel. Though she doesn’t admit that part, because that opens up other questions that she doesn’t need to think about right now.

Then she just asks Daniel, straight-out. “What do you think happened to us then?”

He sighs, pushes his glasses around, messes with his hair, and says, “I don’t know. Does it matter?”

“It could be useful!” she says. “We’d know what we’re going to do later.”

“Not really,” he says.

“But sort of. You have to agree that we’d know sort of.”

“Vala…”

His voice has that edge to it, so she leaves him alone, but maybe she’s got him thinking about it. Probably not, though.

She’ll ask Mitchell to ask Daniel, or possibly even to ask Teal’c. Mitchell is always the easiest one to crack.

Poor Vala.
