#its actually a nod to daniel jackson from stargate

[littlecarnet]

Some random little headcanons in my fic:

- Ash has his mom's eye color and facial shape. He got his dad's dark hair, nose, and darker skin, which gets freckled in the sun. The freckles he also gets from his dad.

- His father was originally raised in Johto, specifically Olivine. He was adopted by the Ketchum family after washing up on shore with no memory and with no one claiming him. His adoptive parents figured that he was the sole survivor of a cruise ship that sunk at sea. His memory loss was likely due to repressed trauma. Not being able to recall his own name, he was renamed to Daniel, though often went by Dan.

Dan's personality is very similar to Ash, so his memory loss didn't bother him too much. He fit right in with the maritime community, charming anyone he met with his inquisitive nature and boundless energy. Dan met Bill one summer during their teens. Bill's family were on holiday from Galar. The two clicked over their mutual interest in the mysteries of the world and creating inventions, and would correspond with each other over the years.

Dan met Delia who was on her way back home from Sinnoh (shortly after her near death experience on Mt. Coronet). She opened up to him about her past, and his concern for her and empathy left her stunned and smitten. She was the one to introduce him to Samuel Oak, who became part of the trio. Dan later left Olivine to move into the new lab on Cinnabar Island with Sam and Bill. Their projects were funded by Silph Co, Dan's in particular. It became their headquarters in studying mysterious phenomenon and Bill's teleportation project, though Dan later moved to Kanto to marry Delia and raise his son. He'd make trips back and forth from the island to the mainland every few months.

Dan and Sam built the home that he and Delia would live in. Delia expressed that she wanted a big family, so he planned that out by building four bedrooms. Sadly it would never come to pass after his untimely death/vanishing on the Cinnabar coastline. The incident was covered up with only Delia, Oak, and Bill knowing what really happened. To the public it was simply an unfortunate boating accident. All of Dan's research was taken as property of Silph Co and used in their technology. However, Delia has a lot of his unpublished papers in their study regarding the nature of the strange energy, what it does to both pokemon and human DNA, and its possible link to Arceus.

Bill learned a few years later about its effect on DNA after being changed into a pokemon, and though he turned back, it had unintended side effects such as being able to understand pokemon and unusually enhanced night vision, proving his DNA had been altered or possibly mutated. But he keeps this a secret as he doesn't trust Silph Co or Devon. Silph Co essentially claimed Dan's research as their own, and Devon has an issue with corporate espionage, once with Team Meteor, and another in Ryme City involving Howard Clifford's schemes.

Prior to his disappearance, Dan was a loving husband to Delia and a wonderful father to Ash, often indulging their shared sweet tooth, much to Delia's annoyance. Though he'd get on her good side buying her a favorite treat, a marshmallow pie. The family would visit Olivine and Rota, flip flopping every year so Ash can spend time with both sides of the family.

Their home had a small battle platform in the backyard. Ash's parents loved a good battle, and playfully competed with each other. Delia however was definitely more competent due to her extensive training in Team Rocket, and ultimately was the one to teach Ash everything he knows. Ash's father often said she was just as formidable in debates with him as well, especially with the topic of the deities of their world. He wasn't convinced just legendary pokemon could harness such incredible power, but humans could possibly do so too. Which led to the research in Missingno and its link to the very energy of creation.

One mystery that haunted him was his origins. Who was he before his memory loss. What was his original name, who were his parents, and where was his original home. The research from the Aether Foundation, which Sam shared with him with once, led him down into the study of wormholes. He began to wonder if he was a Faller, a person from another dimension that was misplaced by a wormhole. Which might explain why no one could find his identity and why he had no records of his existence.

Whump under the cut

Daniel jackson whump: shot by Big Stick thing, thrown across room, weak, unconcious, crying, coughing

Jack Oniell whump: hit in face by Bi Stick thing, thrown on ground by hand weapon thing, worried

[perhapsapremise]

holiday advent challenge day two, prompt: pine + ornament. on ao3]

In retrospect, leaving Teal’c to handle the tree may not have been the best judgement. Of course, by the time this occurs to him, said tree is already in Daniel’s house, taking up what seems like half his living room, and there’s not much he can do about it. He’s already sure he’s gonna have a time getting it out later.

“It’s very… big,” Jack says, before Daniel can say anything.

“I believe that in you culture, a larger tree is more desirable,” Teal’c explains.

“Oh yeah, no,” Daniel says, stumbling. “They are, this may just be a bit - where did you even get this?”

“There was this place where they let you cut down your own trees,” Jonas says, occupying himself with eating some of the cookies he and Cam (mostly Cam, really,) had spent the day making.

“Mhmm, mhmm,” Daniel says, nodding and staring at the tree. Upon reflection, leaving two over-eager aliens to handle this particular task without any oversight was definitely a bad idea, and he should’ve recognized it as one right away. Well, live and learn.

“Was this place a forest?” Jack asks, still not taking his eyes off the tree.

“It was a lot,” Teal’c says, ignoring his sarcasm. “We merely brought the largest one we could find. I was told they were more festive.”

“You know,” Jonas says, studying the tree. “We maybe should’ve considered the size of the room when we were picking it out.”

“Ya think?” Jack says, rounding on him.

“I think we just got a little… carried away,” he says, looking apologetic.

“Indeed,” Teal’c says, raising an eyebrow. “Do you require a replacement, Daniel Jackson?”

“No, no,” Daniel says. “I think - we can work with this. We’re gonna need some more lights though.”

There’s a long moment of silence.

“I’ve got some lights at my place,” Jack offers. “I can go get ‘em.”

“Okay, good, good,” Daniel says, nodding. “Completely manageable.”

 - - -

“A little higher, Daniel,” Vala coaches from the ground.

After Jack left to fetch the lights, the rest of them split up into groups to start decorating. It’s probably a little late to start decorating now, on Christmas Eve, but with everything going on, no one had time before today.

Daniel ends up working on the outside of the house with Vala and Jonas, while Sam, Teal’c and Mitchel take the inside.

“I know what I’m doing,” Daniel insists even as he struggles to untangle the string of lights.

“It’s crooked,” Vala says.

“I’m working on it,” he says. “If you wanna come up here and do it yourself, I would be happy to step down.”

“Daniel, we both know I’m more of an idea person,” she says.

“Oh, of course.”

After a few minutes of struggling with them, Daniel finally manages to straighten out the lights, spreading the string out neatly across his roof.

“Okay, that’s good, could you hand me the next one?” He waits a moment, but no one responds.

“You know, it would be nice if you guys actually helped,” Daniel says with exasperation, turning to face them.

Jonas and Vala still don’t seem to notice he said anything. They’re standing out on the sidewalk in front of his yard, which is practically covered in ice at the moment. Jonas is sliding around on it, looking delighted. Daniel smiles despite himself.

“If you fall and break your neck, don’t complain to me,” he hears Vala say.

“If we can survive the Goa’ould, the replicators and the Ori, I’m sure I can handle an icy sidewalk,” Jonas says, still grinning. Vala looks skeptical.

They seem like they’re having fun, and a part of Daniel wants to just leave them too it. On the other hand, they need fo finish decorating, and he’s getting cold.

“Guys,” he says a little louder, going for an irritated tone which is probably undercut by his fond smile.

This time they both look up. “Yes, Daniel?” Vala asks.

“Could you get the rest of the lights?”

“Right sorry,” Jonas says, rushing forward to pull them out of the box and hand them up to Daniel.

“It looks pretty good,” he says, once Daniel has climbed down and stepped back to appraise his work.

“I hate to say it, Daniel, but we did a good job,” Vala says.

“Now it’s ‘we’, huh?” Daniel rolls his eyes, but his tone is light. It reality, this is the most decoration this house has ever seen, at least since he’s lived in it, and he kind of likes it.

He turns away when he hears someone pulling into his driveway.

“I’m back,” Jack says cheerfully, emerging from his truck. The back is loaded with a ridiculous amount of lights, which is actually good, since they’d used up all of Daniel’s before even getting to the tree. He’d never been the biggest decorator.

“Let’s get these inside then,” Vala says, and with one last place at the lights, Daniel follows them.

 - - -

“Do we do the tree-lighting thing now?” Jonas asks.

“Is that some sort of tradition?” Vala asks around a candy cane she’s sucking on, a candy cane which was supposed to be for the tree.

“Oh yeah,” says Mitchel. “Once the decorating is all done, you just plug it in and, boom, it all lights up.”

Vala narrows her eyes. “In some sort of explosion?”

“Hopefully not,” says Sam, hovering by the extension cord.

Daniel looks over the tree, which is by now fully covered with copious amounts of tinsel, garlands and ornaments, in every colour imaginable. It’s a mess, but a festive mess, which is exactly what Daniel had expected when they’d all decided to decorate it together.

“Seems ready,” Jack says, glancing over at Sam, now holding the cord next to the electric outlet.

“One moment,” says Teal’c holding up a hand. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out one more ornament. A little bauble in the shape of Darth Vader. Daniel feels himself grinning as Teal’c carefully places the ornament front and centre on the colourful tree.

Once Teal’c steps away with a satisfied nod, Jack turns off all the other lights. Sam does the honours and plugs it in.

It lights up in all its multicoloured glory, immediately followed by a chorus of ooh’s, including from Daniel himself.

Daniel’s living room, dark except for the Christmas lights, looks almost magical, almost like its not a real place. And his friends, staring up at the tree with fascination[], faces awash in the colourful lights, look equally so.

Daniel looks around slowly, trying to embed this moment in his memory. It was the first time they’ve all been able to spend time together in what feels like forever. Months, at least. He wants to remember it.

They had the week off, after this, and they would spend the holiday together. After tomorrow, they’d be living in that liminal space between Christmas and new years. They’d all be staying in the same house, and there would be no Stargate, no work, just them here, and it wouldn’t feel real. It would feel like their own little pocket of time, separated from everything else. It would come to an end, of course, but they’d come back to each other, like they always did.

Right now, Daniel can forget about everything else, forget about all the danger in the galaxy, and just be here, now. All of them, together. The rest will follow.
