Punctured
by Ana Lyssie Cotton

She likes to make calculations on his back.

They're small, sometimes. Other times, they're huge and she ends up with her pen covering the skin of his legs.

He is always highly amused at her concentration.

"I've always been a visual person," she defends, on the off chance that he might object.

"This visual enough for ya?" he asks, and he turns, snakes an arm around her waist and pulls. And it's not visual anymore but tactical sensation.

"I was in the middle of something."

His fingers slide across her skin, and she shivers, "I could be in the middle of something."

The numbers dance along his skin as she kisses it, ignoring the way it smudges, and he mocks her for having ink-stained lips, although he admits to finding it rather erotic.

In her lab, when she's alone, and she writes on paper, she misses this.

He likes to count the freckles on her back and sides, the light dusting of melanin that got caught out by the sun. The number shifts and changes as she works or doesn't work. He still hasn't gotten her in that little black bikini.

"You're tickling." she accuses.

"Am not." But his fingers continue their movements. And he's suddenly right. He's not tickling.

Her pen ends up on the floor, forgotten, her mental energy changing its purpose away from mathematical precision and improbabilities to the man who is beneath her and around her and inside of her right this moment.

It's always good, when they're like this.

No cares in the world and no one to object if she screams like a banshee when she comes (not that she screams that often, but when he can make her do it, he is smug for days).

When he's behind his desk, she hopes he misses this.

They don't really talk about anything serious, when they're here. They've never talked about things like this. It's always been about tasting and touching and simply being. She never mentions Jonas or Pete or Martouf (although she only misses Martouf). And he never brings up Sara. They have talked, once, about Charlie.

Mutual agreement won't bring it up again.

When she's out in the field tramping on alien soil, leading her team and pretending that everything is right. That's when she thinks about her doubts. That's when she knows this isn't working, this isn't them. But then she comes back, and he half-smiles at her.

And so she writes equations in pen on his back.

Daniel once accused her of obsessing.

But, then, Daniel has never understood this side of her. Anymore than he has. Teal'c gets it.

She wonders sometimes, when he's asleep and she doesn't want to go searching for her pen, if Janet would have understood.

That's another serious subject she rarely thinks about.

It won't last, of course. Sooner or later, the Air Force will come crashing down on them. When they're ready to make him retire, or when the Joint Chiefs want her working only as a scientist. They will bring the pressure to bear against them and it will tear them apart.

Shreds of duty and honor versus being able to live in the moment.

For Sam, there's really only one moment left to her. It's this one, and it contains Jack.

"You think too much."

"I always have."

His fingers tangle with hers, and then he sighs. "There's a pen on my nightstand, Carter."

A smile tips her lips. "I know."

Punctured
by Ana Lyssie Cotton

Well. That had gone well. Major Samantha Carter poked her pen through the sheet of paper and into the blotter. Then did it again. There was something cleanly logical about the mathematics of the force required to perforate the paper and the sponge beneath.

"Hey."

The voice might be young, the body might be young, but the intelligence behind it was still Colonel Jack O'Neill.

"Sir?" Extra force meant the pen didn't leave a mark on the paper.

"Carter, I'm sorry. That could have gone better."

"Oh, it went fine, sir."

"No it didn't."

Fine, if you considered having a teenage boy gain the respect of a room full of pilots a good thing. She would not think about how hard it had been to attempt to run a briefing on her own. Or about how much she'd wanted, just once, to be seen as simply a pilot.

"I should have pushed more."

"Huh?"

Brown eyes were staring at her, then they flicked away. "When they kept telling me there wasn't time, I should have pushed more. Let you pilot."

She blinked. Air Force Majors did not scream in frustration. Or cry. Or any one of a hundred little things women (and men) were normally allowed to do. "I would have liked that." Understatement of the year. She had almost craved the experiences in the X-302. To be that close to the stars that she could reach out and touch them had been phenomenal.

"Yeah."

"They wanted a pilot." She doodled around the holes she'd made. "Not the co-pilot."

"You would have kicked their asses. If I'd pushed."

"Yeah." She wanted to smile, but she couldn't. There was still some section of her brain that was completely devastated about having her authority so completely undermined. A 15 year old boy had commanded the respect of a dozen pilots when she merely garnered their derision.

"Carter, if I could go back in time, I'd push. I'd also kick my ass out of here." He waggled a finger at her. "You let me take over."

The obedience had been so automatic. "I know." She hated herself. And him, in that moment.

"We need to break you of that habit."

"Yes, sir."

"But, first, I think we need cake."

Cake. Like that fixed anything. She stood. "Actually, sir. I have things I need to do. Maybe General Hammond would like cake."

He looked disappointed. "See you around, Carter."

"Yeah." She paused in the doorway, then looked back at him. "Hope you're not so scrawny next time. Sir."

"Hey!"

Her smirk broke out as she left him in there. The SF in the corridor eyed her. "Colonel O'Neill will probably need to be escorted." She jerked a thumb over her shoulder, "General Hammond would probably prefer him confined to quarters."

"Yes, ma'am."

She never mentions Jonas or Pete or Martouf (although she only misses Martouf).
I love you. If only for that line. ;)


and yeah. The sexism in Fragile Balance MADE NO SENSE.

Oh. Child!Jack/Sam makes me teh happy. Nos' rules.

I was ready for the sexism, but in some ways, it was less sexism and simply more that the pilots wanted a pilot to talk to them. She'd never BEEN a pilot. Merely co-pilot. It's all splitting hairs (and makes me pissy, because I can't believe Sam/Jack weren't all "Hey! Plane! Everyone gets to fly!" "Yes, sir! Yay!" or something similar...)

And. Heh. Of course she only misses Martouf. ;)

ps. Had to go an entire HOUR without the internet. ohmigod I thought I'd die.

[identity profile] liminalliz.livejournal.com 2004-10-01 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Wasn't she a pilot in the clone wars Gulf War? ::confused::

"I'm flying, Jack!"

....

::kills self for the reference::

I need to show you my Sam's Curse victim pictures that i did... (one pic of them lusting, one pic of the boy before he dies, one pic of her face as they die). Martouf SO got a bigger reaction.

And I want to fic that as Jolinar mourning him too. "We love as one, and we mourn as one."

ps. OMFG! That is so hard. So glad you didn't die though...who would write me replicarter porn!?

According the SG-1 writers, Sam (in s7) had never flown the X-302...

They be dumb.

And it was very hard.

And I should know that reference.

And. Bah. There is no curse, damnit! Only Jack.

Jolinar totally mourned him (and Lantash, and Elliott, baby).

Hrm.

*clings*

(have we given up even the appearance of working?)

[identity profile] liminalliz.livejournal.com 2004-10-01 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Whores!

(titanic. ::hits self::)

There is curse! I just saw, oh what's his face, Orlin. Yeah. Orlin. Indiana Jones, omfg. That one makes me laugh in sadness. Poor girl.

Lantash in Elliot totally broke my heart.

*clings back*

(Well...yeah...Leaving work soon actually cuz ... *looks around*... everyone else is leaving...)

I would so feel co-dependant. *clings*

But it's Friday. I'm allowed to feel co-dependant on Friday.

And. BAH! I say there is no curse, and it's all in the writers' heads! Because Joe wasn't even in there, Martouf? was Jolinar's, Orlin (well, he was dead for a thousand years, I don't think she made a difference), Lantash was all Joli, and Jonas was, well, insane. And over.

Besides. Daniel's the one with the curse.

[identity profile] liminalliz.livejournal.com 2004-10-01 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Daniel totally has the Whore of the Galaxy curse. My favorite line remains "DANIEL! YOU DOG! At this rate you'll have a girl on every planet..."

Fridays are NUTS. Lets go get drunk tonight...

I think she feels the curse when Orlin dies, I think it's less that HE's dying and more like ANYONE outside Jack who says "I wuv u" DIES. BLOODY AND SICK.

you realise, of course, when Jack admits his Total Luv for Daniel?

"Daniel!"
"Jack!"
"Daniel!"
"Jack!"
"Dan--dsfgkjhdfglkhdafhadf."
"Jack? Ohmigod. He's dead! My love killed him, like my love killed Sha're!"

That's ok. Anita Blake will ressurect Jack as a vampire/zombie thingie.

...wow. I need to go home soon.

YEAH!. Go home. Work bad. Friday night good.

Guh! Punctured is amazing.

Ugh *tries to think straight after the image of Sam writing on Jack's back*

*fails miserably*

I think you used the title Punctured twice though. The mini!Jack one is Theory of Flight? And he should have let her fly! *thwaps Jack*

Other way round, actually. And if I had been paying attention, I would've lj-cut them better. Oh well...

*g* Thank you.

I think tptb are idiots for claiming that Sam never flew x-302s as main pilot. Timey thinks Jack would've been all, "ok, Carter, your turn"

Erm. Anyway.

D'oh, I thought punctured went better with the second one. *g*

Hmmmmmm, errrrr how far into S8 are you?

And Jack probably would have, yeah.

wait. Am confused now. Theory of Flight wanted to be porn but just ended up being Sam writing all over Jack. Punctured was the post-briefing scene.

My love for Theory of Flight is huge and monsterous and could take over my life. What a beautiful characer-specific image. Perfectly in character. And Jack covered in physics is hot. I'm jsut sayin'.

Both are excellent. I vote for Sam writing on Jack often. Mmm ...
