1. Sam Carter, SG-1. She'd gone from jealousy over him figuring out the "Door to Heaven" to amazement at his lateral thinking techniques to mourning his loss to the program after the first mission. When she saw he was alive, she couldn't hide her excitement, plus he was cute to boot...but also married and so hands off. By the time Daniel was available, their relationship had deepened to such closeness, she didn't want to mess it up with some kind of office romance.

But when they finally found not-dead, not-ascended, but a living breathing lost Daniel, and he asked if there was anything between them, she couldn't help but hesitate before answering "Not that way."

2. Richard Woolsey, IOA. Oh, not that way of course. But the man was a civilian that had earned high respect amongst many in a military institution, and had insinuated himself with an ease Woolsey could never muster. Richard was half-admiring, half-jealous of the infamous Dr. Jackson, and he couldn't help but wish for the man's respect.

3. Cameron Mitchell, F-302 pilot/SG-1. To be fair, he didn't just crush on Daniel. Sam Carter, Teal'c, Jack O'Neill, all were victims of Cam's fanboy ardor. But one of his first memories from waking up after the crash of Antarctica was Daniel sitting at his bedside, thanking him for saving their lives--as if Cam would've done anything else for the team that had saved the whole damn planet more times than you could count. Then even when the guy wasn't willing to come back on the team, he was willing to give Cam the shirt off his back...or at least the keys to his place. Oh yes, Cam was crushing on Daniel, and put most of his efforts on getting Jackson back on SG-1 first.

4. Dr. Alexis Harrington, SGC archeology department. Who could resist Dr. Jackson with those dreamy blue eyes and that jawline? Plus he was so sharp minded, as anyone who'd heard one of his rants on rushed and improper translations could attest. But Alexis didn't mind. She knew people's lives were at state, especially Dr. Jackson, being on SG-1. He was a living Indiana Jones for that matter. Nikki didn't see the appeal, but she was crushing on Dixon over on SG-13...and he was *married*.

5. Vala Mal Doran, space pirate. Well, Daniel was attractive, who could argue that, and she knew from personal experience he was a *great* kisser. Most men would've jumped her by now. When Vala had first made this deal to come to SGC, she'd assumed she and Daniel would pick up where they left off on that rattletrap spaceship of Earth's. Instead the guy was playing hard to get, and Vala couldn't figure out why. It couldn't be lack of chemistry. She still remembered that kiss. He wasn't still holding that little matter of selling out his crew against her, was he? Actually, he seemed to be wanting to redeem her, silly boy. The strange thing was, she was starting to respond to it. Maybe the weeks stuck in this mountain's basement was rubbing off on her, but she was actually starting to want to earn his respect. But that was a silly notion. It must be something different. Reading up she read these about these quaint Tau'ri notions of courtship and being a gentleman. Perhaps that was it. Yes, that was all.

Liked them all, but #5 made me wish for a sequel. "Vala Mal Doran: Space Pirate" sounds like a great title for a story. :-)

[aurora-novarum.livejournal.com]

LOL. Yeah, "Vala Mal Doran: Space Pirate", now coming on immediately after "Teal'c P.I". Check local listings...

I really liked # 2, not least because I never would have thought of it myself, but once I saw it, it really had to be there!

All of them are good.

[aurora-novarum.livejournal.com]

I have no idea why Woolsey just came to me, but I think they do have this odd dynamic to their relationship.

[paian]

These are wonderful, and I especially like #2 also. :-)

[aurora-novarum.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! (I like #2 too). :-D

[ladyhalbourne]

I really like them all, but # 2 is my favourite!

[aurora-novarum.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! #2 just begged to be written. Richard and Daniel have such and odd love/hate thing going on. :-D

Woolsey - that's a surprising choice! But wholly understandable (even if it's not 'that way', lol.)

Neither Cam nor Vala ever makes any secret of it, but at least Cam avoids sexual harassment charges by crushing on Daniel for purely professional reasons. *g*

I like what you've done with Sam and that moment in canon. I'm going to be watching for her hesitation next time I see the ep!

[aurora-novarum.livejournal.com]

I know. Something about Woolsey and Daniel's head butting fascinates me. It's like Richard always tries to take DJ's advice...but he learns the wrong lesson every time. Oh, we should kill the practically ascended possible evil being? Okay, lesson learned. Oh, that didn't mean possessed Daniel? Whoops.

Yes, Cam, purely professional reasons. ;-)

Hee. Sorry to give you an excuse to watch naked and blue robed Daniel Fallen again. :-D

just 5?

1. one of the cafeteria ladies, but she tells herself that it's because he reminds her of her high school sweetheart.

2. one of the night nurses in the infirmary, but she tells herself that it's just a case of the florence nightingale effect.

3. the corporal in charge of the firing range, but she tells herself it's just because she likes how he handles a firearm.

4. a sergeant who works in the motor pool, but she tells herself it's because he helped her change a flat tire one time.

5. samantha carter, but she tells herself that it's just because they work closely & have been through so much together.

[sg-betty.livejournal.com]

Nice! I love the way you did this. The repetition of excuses is very clever.

[archersangel (from livejournal.com)]

thank you, after doing the first one it just seemed natural to have it with the others.

[gategremlyn.livejournal.com]

Yes, indeed, to #3. I can totally see the fascination.

[thothmes.livejournal.com]

I like all the "whistling in the dark" where none of them will admit it's because they think he's to die for. Methinks the ladies do protest too much! ;)

[aurora-novarum.livejournal.com]

Very nice symmetry there.

And yes, very unfair to limit it to just five. :-D

[sid]

Ah, doesn't matter "why", a crush is a crush!

I do believe we all like how Daniel handles firearms. ROWR!
