This one's for..

Eh. Little Red (hope the day gets better), mainly. But it was all Timey's fault.

Stargate fic.


"Hey, Carter?"

Sam Carter shifted on her stool, barely glanced at the man standing in her doorway (he had his hands in his pockets, and was eyeing the small objects on her desk. Possibly assessing them for their shininess, and whether she'd notice if they disappeared). "Sir?"

"Um... You got a zat I could borrow?"

Raising her eyebrows, she actually turned and *looked* at him. "Zat, sir?"

"Yeah." Apparently deciding it was safe to do so, he stepped further into the lab, though he avoided the desk and its many temptations. Except that he took his hands out of his pockets, and they began gravitating naturally to the pile of tools and capacitors and solder on her workbench.

"Um. Why?" Casually, she batted his hand away from the on (and burning hot) soldering iron.

"Jeeze, Carter, do I have to have a reason?"

In the moment she rolled her eyes, he snagged the Numenorean pliers Daniel had been having her investigate and began fiddling them. "Sir!"

He set them back down and tried to look innocent whilst simultaneously trying to look like a sad little puppy dog. It almost worked.

Almost.

"Sir, why do you want a zat?"

"Well, Carter, I thought I'd get rid of... some things."

"Things, sir?" She retrieved the diodes from the newer version of her naquadah reactor from him.

"Yeah. Things." He gestured. "Y'know, they get in the way, they crinkle, they don't do much but kill trees and take up a lot of space that could be used for better things."

"Oh. *Those* things." She nodded. Memos.

"Yeah. So. Gotta zat, Carter?"

"Actually, sir, you should probably go ask Teal'c. The one zat I had I pulled apart so I could test and see if the power quotient was higher--"

"AH!" His hand raised, then dropped, and she swore that there should have been four capacitors on the bench. Now there were three.

"Sir."

"I'll... go ask Teal'c."

"You do that, sir."

Colonel O'Neill was nearly to the door when she called softly, "Can I have the capacitor back, sir?"

"What? Oh. Oops." He lobbed it back at her with a lopsided smile. "So. Ya wanna get lunch?"

Sam blinked. Her stomach announced that, yes, indeed, it wanted lunch. Like, now. "Oh. Um. Okay..."

"Cool. And then we can do that thing with a zat."

She raised her eyebrows as she walked past him. "We, sir?"

"Carter, you love making things disappear. I know this, remember?"

"Yes, sir." She gave a long-suffering sigh.

"I hope there's cake."

"They know you're on base, sir."

"Cool."

Oh! JOY! YAYYYYYY!!!

You have TOTALLY just suceeeded in making my pathetic day of mono-y self-pity just GLEEEFUL! YAYYYYYY! *happy*

I now feel capable of conquering the Looming Voicemails of DOOM that are blinking so innocently on my office phone. *eyes*

And I owe you an email about the Cor-ai post-ep, because I read it again when you posted it to SJFic (OMGmynamewason two things byLyssiein one day) and said "ooooooh" again, a lot. And think you should write a sequel. Or let me write a sequel. *makes cute eyes* But really, you should, because if you do it, there will probably be sex in it :)

Don't I just? Actually, the romance novel angle is aaaaaall A.j.'s fault.

Though, I like the mental image of Jack walking into Daniel's office, looking around...

"Jack?"

"Daniel."

*glasses push* "Something I can help you with?"

"Got a dictionary?"

"...several. Any language you'd like in particular?"

"Uh... English. I gotta look up the meaning of 'turgid.'"

WHEEEE!! YAY! Because there were all sorts of sequelly bunnies bouncing around in my head, and now I can tell them to GO BACK TO LYSSIE, YOU PUNKS. Excellent! Now look how much fic time I have on my hands!

It's like the parable with the guy whose house is too small, so he brings in all the goats and chickens, and then when he sends them away again it's like he has a lot of room. Except with bunnies. Instead of goats and chickens.

*gives self a strange look*

Um... yeah... thank God it's weekend!!

Also, horribly cute ficlet.

Basically, A.j. and elly and I, very late at night, decided that Sam and Jack needed to start not-dating at some point. Like, develop a real friendship and hang out as friends. A lot. An awful lot. And snuggle. And date, but not date. And, because they're them, and "them" includes Sam, there would be a lot of bizarre rules that seemed to make sense at the time that were strictly enforced.

Like, they're not dating so long as she only stays over at his place (in the guest room) ONE night a week, and they don't kiss through more than a single television show, and that the clothes all stay on.

And then... that it's okay as long as she doesn't spend more nights at his place than she does at hers, and that a movie counts as a single TV show, and that it's okay as long as the pants stay on.

And elly got really excited about pants and kept saying "pants" so we got stuck on that. And so, "pants" references a universe of platonic cuteness that is only platonic in the loosest possible definition of the word. And, because 10,000 fanfic writers under the age of fifteen can't be wrong, it allows them to effectively date while still on SG-1 in its standard configuration (and, oddly, lays down the foundations for the most stable relationship we could come up with for them).

The full text of the conversational madness can be found here (http://sachi.arrr.net/happyverse.html), but the above is basically the reader's digest version.

Like? Think you can be persuaded to join the happypantsversemadness sometimes? *hopefulblinking*

I think we arbitrarily decided on season 6 or 5-into-6, but that was mostly for the befuddlement of Jonas :)

'tis fun to mess with that boy's head.

Jonas: "I don't get it. HOW are you not dating?"
Sam: "Because we're not."
Jack: "We're TOTALLY not."
Jonas: "But... I mean, she practically lives at your house."
Sam: *sputter* "That's DIFFERENT! We're just FRIENDS. Can't two people be FRIENDS without everyone going all nuts about it!?"
Jonas: "I was just asking..."
Janet: "Yeah. Better not to do that. I'll explain it later."
