In the Time

By: Magnavox

CATEGORY: Romance

SEASON/SPOILERS: Season 9

WARNINGS: None

AUTHOR’S NOTES: Oh boy. This came about after I found this wonderful Latin poem I had in my bookmarks list (Yes, I’m a Firefox user :P) from last year and the look on Daniel’s face when Sam tells him Vala may still be alive. This is set between Crusade and Camelot.

It's strange, the sense of loss he feels. He wasn't even conscious when she used his body to deliver her message. There's just a darkness. A time in which his soul was hidden, hidden deep inside so that she could use his flesh, his voice. And yet, he feels like he was there, with her. Two souls in the one mind, touching but not connected. Is that what Harrid and Sallis felt?

A dreaming, unlike the one he enters every night where he can see her face. That dreaming is different. There he watches her lips as she whispers the words of the Ancients.

"Vivida in tempore transire nolente"

He can see grey eyes and long black hair.

"Permagna florescit in pectore vis"

Pigtails and smiles.

"Continenter pellens me dicere: 'nos'"

In the dreaming, time and space don't count. Accountability and past transgressions are easily forgotten as she dances, swirling in his dreaming. her smile ignites one of his own and he lets her twirl him, spinning in the dreaming.

And when the naked world around them fades and they find purchase on solid ground, she lowers him to the earth. her backdrop is the heavens.

"Et lumine solis extremo dilapso
In caelo inter alias te incipio requirere stellas"

She stares at him, an open book. His eyes greedily drink her in, reading every inch of skin as if she holds the key to all he's ever wanted to know.

"Quod secum te sentiens dulcedine noctis"

Her touch is new and old.

"Expectans laetatur animus meus"

Her kiss binds them together.

"Et loca nulla illi remota"

After he wakes, lying there in the dark of night, he wonders if it's really her. An imprint left behind by the Ancient's device or a piece of herself she gave to be safeguarded against the evils surrounding her new life.

"Because nowhere is far."

** The End **

Vivida in Tempore
by Filippo Sirotti

In the time that doesn't want to pass
in my heart I feel a strength
that pushes me to say: 'us'

And when the sun has gone
I look for you in the sky among the other stars

As my soul is with you in the sweet night
and feels happy waiting for you,
because nowhere is far
