Hey everyone, this sooo isn't my usual venue but I was struck with the giddy and just had to DV-ize the well known poem "The Night Before Christmas". I'd like to state that I don't own that poem, and I don't own anything mentioned in the poem. Also, I've never met RCC and know extremely little about him so don't make any inferences about him from this giddy-induced poem-alteration!
Also, I have absolutely no problem with McShep, I just needed something to rhyme with "ep". ;)
And for those who don't know, here is the glossary:
Oven - the Daniel/Vala thread at the GateWorld Forum
Fruitcakes - those who ship Daniel/Vala in the Oven (and elsewhere)
DeVilish - the ship name meaning "Daniel/Vala"
Av2 - Avalon 2 (episode 9x02)
Obviously, my forte is not poetry, there's a reason I avoid it at all costs. I just that I'd give you fair warning! lol On with the Christmas fun:
DeVilish Christmas
Twas the
night before Christmas, with the Oven on "bake",
Not a
creature was stirring, not one little Fruitcake.
The
stockings were hung by the heating vent with care,
In hopes
that the Ark of Truth, soon would be there.
The
Fruitcakes were nestled all snug in their beds,
While
visions of Unending danced in their heads.
And mamma
in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just
settled our brains for a long winter's nap.
When out
in the Gate Room there arose such a clatter!
I sprang
from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to
the Control Room I flew like a bird,
Walter
opened the iris when I gave the word.
The
chevrons were lit, blue and yellow, you know,
And gave
the luster of mid-day to the objects below.
When, what
to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a
saviour in disguise, the room burst into cheer!
A little
old director with such wit and such glee!
I knew in
a moment it must be RCC!
More rapid
than eagles the Fruitcakes they came,
And he
wrote and directed and rose to such fame!
"Now
Vala! Now Daniel! Make out in this scene!
Then
marriage, then children, oh we'll get so much green!
From the
kiss in PU, to the very last ep,
We'll
show the whole world, DeVilish's greater than McShep.
As dry
leaves that before the wild Kawooshy-thing fly,
When they
meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to
the pinnacles of shipdom we soared,
With the
sleigh full of fics, art and vids to adore!
And then,
in a twinkling, word came through certain means,
That canon
DeVilish might soon be seen!
As I drew
in my head, plot-bunnies ran amuck,
Down into
our hearts RCC was firmly stuck.
He was a
genius for sure, no one can contest,
That when
it comes to creating ships, RCC is the best!
A bundle
of hints he had flung everywhere.
I mean
just look at Av2, the signs are all there!
His
eyes-how they twinkled! His plans oh so merry!
His cheeks
were like roses…maybe from the sherry...
His droll
little character everyone thought a mess,
She was
brilliance incarnate, Daniel's own seductress.
Granted
he'd had some, a few through the years,
But this
one was special, she broke through his fears.
She was
cool, not so calm, and collected? Pfft no,
But she
was bright, she was funny, she put on quite a show.
Daniel
glared and he snapped, he wasn't jolly but weary...uh,
He did
laugh on the inside but that was hysteria...
A wink of
her eye and a twist of his head,
Soon made
him realize, he never wanted her dead.
So back
RCC brought her, wrapped in a nice peasant gown!
She was
pregnant, not Daniel's, oh the Fruitcakes did frown.
Daniel
spoke not a word, but went straight back to work,
While we
sat and we glared and we called him a jerk.
In the
end, RCC, taking pity on us,
Did offer
resolution, the kiss was a plus.
Then he
sprang to his desk and he fixed a small glitch,
For the
future, I get it, but that Reset's a bitch!
Hope you enjoyed! Happy Holidays everyone!
