Painted Blue
by Ana Lyssie Cotton

Lieutenant Colonel Samantha Carter wasn't often speechless. In fact, it took a very determined person to even get her to stop talking (once she'd started technobabbling--although her plants seemed to like it). So it came as a shock, to General Jack O'Neill, when all she could do was stare.

"Carter?"

She jerked her head away from the table and looked at him. "Sir?" There was disbelief in her voice.

"Colonel," he said patiently, "The SGC is being asked to participate in a 'marketing survey' to determine if the new Air Force BDUs are acceptable."

"They're hideous, sir." The bald honesty in her words made him smile.

"I'm not saying they aren't, Carter."

"But what you *are* saying is that I have to wear them." It wasn't a question.

"Yes." He paused, and a grimace slipped across his face. "I'm sorry, Carter, you were specifically requested as one of the test subjects. I think someone out there has a grudge."

"This wouldn't surprise me," she muttered, her tone dark as she stared, once again, at the table.

"Could be one of Kinsey's brats, or--"

"Sir?" She interrupted him, turning suddenly hopeful crystal-clear blue eyes on him. "Do I really...."

"I'm sorry, Carter." Jack was repeating himself. He didn't care. "You're to wear them for the next seven duty shifts on base."

"And off-world?"

"Still green."

Her eyes closed for a moment, and he swore she muttered "thank God" but he didn't ask. "I'll wear them on one condition, sir."

"Conditions, Colonel?" His eyebrow raised.

She met his eyes, hers almost expressionless. "That you wear them ,too."

Gah. She was so, so, *innocent*. And he so should know better. "Colonel, I am not required--"

"Then I won't wear them."

"Colonel--"

"What're you going to do, General, dress me yourself?" Her tone mocked him, her eyes challenged him.

A smirk crossed his lips, "Sure. Do I get to undress you, first?"

Her eyes widened. "Depends."

"I am not wearing that hideous uniform, Carter."

"Then neither am I." She crossed her arms and glared defiantly.

"I could charge you with insubordination."

"Yes, you could." A smirk touched her lips, "And then I'd have to bring up the fact that you offered to undress me."

Damn. She played dirty. His eyes narrowed. "Carter."

"Or, you could just wear them with me. Sir."

He sighed. She had won, and she knew it. Still, there had to be some dignity he could salvage. "One condition."

"Oh?" Her eyebrows raised.

"I still get to undress you."

The grin on her lips twisted into a smirk. "Not if I undress you first."

Heeeeee.

And. Damn. Those uniforms are awful. But if you stare at them and cross your eyes, you can see a magic picture, so...

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

That's what Jack keeps hoping.

Of course, he also hopes no one notices that he's staring at Carter a lot... well, more than normal.

Okay, so he's pretty sure people have stopped caring after 8 years, but he's a General now, he figures there should be some dignity to his ogling.

Except he frequently forgets that. Because she smiles.

[karma-aster.livejournal.com]

Those are pretty damn ugly. I'm with Carter on that one. But hey, sex with O'Neill! That's got to be some compensation, right?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Yep. Sam's all about the Jack compensation...

;)

[karma-aster.livejournal.com]

(solemnly)Mad O'Neill Snugglez. It's good fer what ails ya.

[anr]

*snickers*

That was cute. I love fluff. :)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

*pets icon and squees about it being less than a week ohmigod* (hopeless fangirl)

[anr]

*pets and fangirls also*

I know -- I can't wait! :) Any chance of you writing some John/Aeryn fluff to make the wait easier...? *begs shamelessly*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I can... try. *eyes them* John does keep complaining that he doesn't get enough porn...

[anr]

I'm not surprised. From what we've been shown on-screen, the only time he and Aeryn ever got some was in the first season. Poor Moya!John. *pets* Dude totally deserves some pornage with his SO.

[elly427.livejournal.com]

My favorite part of that picture is the expression on the woman's face.

*Snort*

And the fic is funny and in character. Hee.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

heh.

And thank you. *pets them*

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

Damn. She played dirty.

::DEAD OF SQUEE::

This is EXACTLY what I wanted after reading that news story. You are SUCH a fanfic GODDESS. RARR. ::pets you::

::pets s&j out of uniform::

Oh man. YAY.

Yay undressing!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

That's very good to know. There's a sequel in the works (my roommate acted it out for me, complete with hand motions--erm, not porn, though--and shouts and me cackling with glee), it just needs an ending, so it's at home all stalled.

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

Hee! ::bounces::

Sequel! ::loves lyssie's roommate and her hand motions and shouts forever!::

....and it ends with....DEAD DANIEL!


no... no.... sorry...lol

i love daniel, i swear i do, i just have fandom angst with daniel. ^_^

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*snicker* No, but Danny gets mocked...

(I love my roommate, too)

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

mockity mock mock? ::squeelove::

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

yep...

My roommate gives me the best Jack Lines Ever, man.

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

::is jealous::

my ex-roommate would give me the best "what heathen thing are you NOW laughing at, you liberal whore?!" glares EVER, .... uh... ^_^

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Awww. *pats*

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

Is okay. She now lives with a nice republican girl. ^_^

[wiliqueen.livejournal.com]

*snorfle* This is delightful. Even if the aren't in any danger of having to wear that any time soon. I'm not even sure what it is -- it's not arctic.

:: scratches head in confusion ::

Regardless, the fic is still cute. :-D

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Hee. Thank you.

And, no, I don't think they are. The article I read said that if they are approved, they'll be fazed in over five years...

[wiliqueen.livejournal.com]

Ah. Just saw the pic you linked above, didn't have context.

Does it say what they're for?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

....I don't remember.

Hrm.

[wiliqueen.livejournal.com]

'Sokay, just curious. I can find it if I look. :-)

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

article! hee (http://www.livejournal.com/users/liminalliz/261315.html)

[wiliqueen.livejournal.com]

Ah! Day to day fatigues. Got it.

Begs the question why they don't just go with the slate blue as standard (my dad wore class B's most days, but his fatigues were all solid OD green, not woodland), but whatever. I think they're kinda cool, but would probably get tired of looking at them all day. Solid colors = much better.

Thanks for the link!

[woodface]

Bwahahaha! They're too cute.

"What're you going to do, General, dress me yourself?" Her tone mocked him, her eyes challenged him.

A smirk crossed his lips, "Sure. Do I get to undress you, first?"

Her eyes widened. "Depends."

*giggles*

*smooooooooch*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Hee. *snuggles back*

And they so are. And they are bad bad people, making me write such... eh, who'm I kidding? I love fluff...

[woodface]

Good cause I love reading your fluff! *bounces*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

which is good since I write so damn much of it. hrm...

[woodface]

Yaaaaay!

[evangeline1138.livejournal.com]

"Or, you could just wear them with me. Sir."

Heh. She *so* totally adds that "sir" in as an afterthought sometimes.

Always adore your fluff, Lyss.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Heh. That's because in her head (when she thinks about him), he is 'Jack'--but only when he's irritating her, or she's teasing him.

Or, uh, she's making a point.

Thank you. :)
