Oh man. That's so messed up. *huggles Jack and Sam*
It doesn't escape General Hammond's notice that she is so calm and cheerful again. With just a little sarcasm here and there that reminds people of who her commanding officer was.
Love this part.
And the moment is lost with the hundred other little moments she doesn't want to remember.
Great line!
*sighs* Dude, poor Sam. But poor AU!Jack. Eek! I think the part where Jack is alone got to me most. Because Sam might be going through hell here, she has people around her. Jack is completely isolated. *cuddles him.
Which reminds me that I should finish Asylum. Oy.
Absolutely wonderful. Please write the other parts soon! *g*
Awesome job. So well done, so many good twists. So much sad and angst and pain. You're taking my already-messed-up Sam and breaking her into little pieces. And Jack ... poor Jack. But you gave me Danny (happy sigh). And I swear I see light at the end of the (still twisty, jagged) tunnel.
Can I tell you how much I appreciate reading this?
You are possibly the only S/J writer I know who doesn't demonize Daniel, who appreciates that Daniel could be Jack's friend and care about Jack - and also care about Sam, and be there for her in her time of need.
And this is the problem I have with a lot of S/J stuff (and a lot of J/D stuff, which often abuses Sam as badly as Daniel gets abused in S/J stuff). They're a TEAM, damn it, and they all love each other, in that "best friends" way, and they SHOULD be there for each other. And you make it clear that they ARE, and that makes me very happy.
I was all anxious about reading this but I just read the first chapter and I'm already all teary. Thank you.
It's always boggled my mind that people on EITHER side have to demonize/destroy one or the other. Watching the show, they are clearly a team, and so... I can't ignore that.
When I first started watching, I didn't like Daniel *or* Sam much, then they snuck in. Daniel still has the annoying "I know everything" tendency, but so do all four of them. And he and Jack are friends and he and Sam are, too. And so are he and Teal'c.
*refrains from pulling her hair out*
*mutter* Stupid fic writers.
(also? The demonizing one character thing is a Mary Sue tactic. Huh. Guess that makes Sam/Daniel into Mary Sues when that happens... *eg* heeee.)

Dude. I haven't cried over a fanfic in ages. :sends Lyssie a bottle of wine: omfg. :runs to get a cup of tea as crying over fic is INSANELY silly but needs comfort food:
I think this fic bit so deeply with me cuz I just saw Abyss and it broke my wee shipper heart - but mainly because of how much time and energy I spend on soapgate where we have three jacks and three sams and we live pretty happily if exceedingly sluttishly. So seeing Sam1 with Jack2 living in serious angst-ville --- :liz angsts, omfg!: So...yeah. It's nice to see the real vs au samjacks not be harmonious, ya know?
Plot elements I loved: -That Sam killed Ba'al. Ouch. Lots of ouchness -Daniel, like tafkar said - undemonized. Very Luke-ish (in a good way, mind you) -SAMANTHA MULDER RETURNS! Mwahaha. Or at least her planet. Good choice. -Jacob. How could you. -The "Jack? Play Evil" twist was odd and didn't fully work, but I like the idea...? -The massive order of chinese food. ... :so sad!:
Okay, favorite lines I had to save:
"but she never eats jell-o anymore." I love how that's funny and heartbreaking at the same time. Poor blue jello neglect.
"Netu, after all, is dead and buried and blown to smithereens in the depths of space" Awww. Where they all had to whore themselves to Apophis to get out. ;)
She licks her lips as he steps up to look at her, and she meets his eyes, knowing there's a smirk building and unable to stop it. "Hi honey. I'm home." That is so LYSSIE. I love the deep sarcasm in your writing. It's how you can capture Jack so perfectly and write Sam SASSY and not sappy silly wee girl.
A chuckle escapes her at his words. "God. Have I told you how much I love you, Teal'c?" "Not recently, Samantha Carter." And your Teal'c OWNS.
"Thank you. But we got a new one, and I'm told he's even shinier." That killed me, ooh, knife in belly.
"That's because those damned things aren't accurate or discerning." "And you would know, I suppose." Now, he wasn't being silent. There was something sarcastic about his phrasing. Perhaps he's smarting at not being in charge. "Why, yes, Jack, I suppose I would." AY YIYIYIYIYIYI! :doubles over: :needs straight vodka:
"Look, Carter," he tries, at one point. Ice freezes in her veins, and she looks him in the eye, "Call me that again and I will shoot you where you stand." THAT kicked me in the shins, yes, as I love how Jack says "Carter." Really good thread of what do they call him and what should he call her...eeek!
"Until you're back on your own two feet and can kick my ass, I'm going to call you whatever the hell I want. Carter." "Please don't." There's more than despair now, there's a pain he doesn't want to name. ouch. :loves:
"No. No I'm not. You know, I never met Dr. Samantha Carter, in my universe. She was just a nebulous consultant they used a few times. Rodney had a lot of things to say about her arrogance." "He would." RODNEYYYY!!!! :glomps: In that AU Rodney and Sam are SO SEXING! OMFG! YAY!
Isn't it a fabulous romantic cliche? Female officer falls hard for her commanding officer. Film and scandal at eleven :loves on her: sekritly writes the USAF press release claiming that the news report is FALSE
I've put in for your transfer. You leave to join Dr. McKay in Russia in five hours YAY! He gets to go play with McKay. :giggles:
O'Neill and Carter, laughing at something neither would probably remember anymore. An unguarded moment when they're half-looking at each other. He catches his breath. And I lost it there. And I have no tissues in my apartment, bitch!
...
GAAAH! :is dead but revived by tea: So long story short? ...um... Thank you. :)
Dude. I haven't cried over a fanfic in ages. :sends Lyssie a bottle of wine: omfg. :runs to get a cup of tea as crying over fic is INSANELY silly but needs comfort food: ...awwww. *scritches* I'm sorry? *offers tea and biscotti*
It's nice to see the real vs au samjacks not be harmonious, ya know? *nod* I like the idea that not everyone is going to be in teh Luv. Or however you want to put it.
-SAMANTHA MULDER RETURNS! Mwahaha. Or at least her planet. Good choice. ...She does? Gairwyn is not SM in a bad wig....
-Jacob. How could you. *furtive look* Space Pirate. 's all I'm sayin'.
-The "Jack? Play Evil" twist was odd and didn't fully work, but I like the idea...? Yeah. I was still uncertain on that one, but I did kinda want her to fray a little. And it did kinda work.
She licks her lips as he steps up to look at her, and she meets his eyes, knowing there's a smirk building and unable to stop it. "Hi honey. I'm home." That is so LYSSIE. I love the deep sarcasm in your writing. It's how you can capture Jack so perfectly and write Sam SASSY and not sappy silly wee girl. Totally swiped the line from Buffy Yes, well, um... I like them snarky and sarcastic?
"Look, Carter," he tries, at one point. Ice freezes in her veins, and she looks him in the eye, "Call me that again and I will shoot you where you stand." THAT kicked me in the shins, yes, as I love how Jack says "Carter." Really good thread of what do they call him and what should he call her...eeek! That one, I still love. Because only her!Jack is allowed to call her Carter (not that this one doesn't get away with it...)
"No. No I'm not. You know, I never met Dr. Samantha Carter, in my universe. She was just a nebulous consultant they used a few times. Rodney had a lot of things to say about her arrogance." "He would." RODNEYYYY!!!! :glomps: In that AU Rodney and Sam are SO SEXING! OMFG! YAY! Yes. I should so write that in his universe, Dr. McKay was our Carter, and he was having lots of sex with Dr. Carter when he 'consulted' with her. Or something like that. Er...
I've put in for your transfer. You leave to join Dr. McKay in Russia in five hours YAY! He gets to go play with McKay. :giggles: Everyone should get exiled to Russia, yo. *kicks Mackenzie*
O'Neill and Carter, laughing at something neither would probably remember anymore. An unguarded moment when they're half-looking at each other. He catches his breath. And I lost it there. And I have no tissues in my apartment, bitch! Awwwwwww. *pets, gives more tissues*
And. Dude, I can now cackle madly, can't I... *looks eeeevil*
And that's why I love lyssie fic. Not to say that I don't need the occasional dose of schmoop and fluff, 'cause I do, but I'm really in it for the snark and the sarcasm. Looking forward to the rest.

(Please finish soon? Please?)

Actually, *I* broke my own brain when I got there, because I really wasn't expecting AU Jack to appear... He just bounced in and was like, "Hi!"
Working on it... Jacob is being difficult. *scowls*

And you're right. Jack *is* isolated. Which, hopefully, I get to play with. I just... need to work out exactly how the next bit goes.
Hrm.
Thank you. *prods muse* c'mon, we need to do some brainstorming.
