Why This Must Be Read: This fic is set in season 9, so it's Vala and Cameron in season 9. It would not be in character now, after season 10, but it is at the beginning of season 9. Erin sees the connection between the two characters. This is not a fic that it's about transcending the John/Aeryn ship into SG-1, like so many Cam/Vala fics, it is a fic about two characters finding each other through their difficult situation.


“I don’t know. Couldn’t sleep, I guess,” she grumbled. “What are you still doing awake? Isn’t this late by your planet’s standards?”

“Yeah, but I was finishing a report. I hate doing paperwork.”

“Oh,” Vala replied returning to her chocolate fudge sundae.

He sat down across from her. “Hey, you alright?”

“Yeah, I’m fine. Just…I don’t think I’m all back yet, you know?”

Cameron frowned at her.

She pushed the ice cream away. “I think I’m going to try sleeping again.”

“I’d think you’d be exhausted after what you’ve been through.”

She rolled her eyes. “I guess if I were exhausted it would be easier to sleep.”

“You want me to walk you back?”

“Yeah. Sure.”
