Fic: Not Another Jaffa Joke

[butterfly]

Because I can't let go. Apparently.

Title: Not Another Jaffa Joke
Summary: Teal'c has news, Jack has fabric.
Timeline: Set during Moebius (part 2)
Warnings: Gen-ish. Angsty. Implied ship.
Disclaimer: Stargate SG-1 belongs to (take a deep breath) MGM-UA, Worldwide Television, Showtime, Gekko Film Corp, Glassner/Wright Double Secret Productions, the Sci-Fi Channel and Stargate SG1 Prod. Ltd. Partnership.

On the left, Jack had a typical example of a well-made robe, not a thread wasted or out of place. On the right? He had what looked like a dirty pile of rags.

He'd been at this thing for three years now, and anything he made still looked like crap. At least he wasn't as bad at it as Samantha, though.

She kept forgetting that people had arms.

"O'Neill," Teal'c said. Jack barely twitched, almost used to the way Teal'c could creep up behind him.

"Yeah?" Jack asked, turning around to get a good look at the guy, who seemed pretty damn pale for Teal'c. He'd spent the last week arguing about something with Daniel, who sometimes looked close to being ruffled by whatever it was. Had to be something huge, because nothing seemed to faze that man.

"I feel that I should inform you that I have persuaded Daniel Jackson to kill me," Teal'c said, his face as calm as it always was.

"What?" Jack said, sharp and surprised.

Teal'c didn't answer, giving Jack the smallest of nods before he turned and walked away.

Did he want Jack to follow him? Was this some sick joke? Something that Daniel thought would be funny?

If he went and asked Daniel about it, would the man actually talk to him or would he just brush him off like he did most days? Would he finally see the guy laugh or, hell, just crack a smile?

"Hey, I could use a hand, here." That was Samantha's voice, high and slightly nasal, but so fucking sweet. So real. And there she was, just coming over the rise, weighed down with fabric for more attempts at robes.

He'd go talk to Daniel later.

Jack hopped up and walked over to take some of the load. Her bright eyes met his over the pile of cloth, and Jack could feel himself light up. God, looking into her eyes was like staring into a lake, alive and clear. Like the one he'd had near a cabin, in another lifetime, before he'd lost Charlie or Sara.

Like home.

That line made me chuckle. Not a "YAY Funny!" chuckle. Not exactly a happy chuckle either. Much more of a sad chuckle really.

Anyway I enjoyed the story very very much. More please.

Yeah. It's... hard. Originally, it started out as more of a Daniel-Teal'c story and then I realized that there was no way I could actually write that conversation. That would be one of the suckiest conversations ever for Daniel, which is saying a lot.

Anyway I enjoyed the story very very much. More please.

Thank you.

It never gets old.

I bet this would be way less funny if I wasn't positive Teal'c couldn't possibly really die. But then again, even if he does - FUNNY. Yeah, I'm a sick fuck.

Did you hear the one about the Goa'uld who was so pathetic he had to pose as a Jaffa to gain any power?

Hope you had an okay time last weekend. You seemed a little down.

Well, I can assure you that Teal'c is in S9 of SG-1.

I just... worry about my mom. It's no big. I mean, I shouldn't even, she's been driving for a lot longer than I have. I just do, anyway.

Oh, bloody hell.

Ouch!

I'm bleeding, here, bleeding!

Yeah, Teal'c's a straight-forward guy, isn't he?

This timeline just makes me feel so horrible for everyone in it. And yet, I keep writing it and am enjoying writing it.

Oh, no. His symbiote has matured, hasn't it?

Oh.

Oh, no. His symbiote has matured, hasn't it?

Yeah, he's kinda got a limited time offer there. But at least he'll die free, which matters to him. And he's trying to faciliate a timeline that leads to freedom for all Jaffa and his son, which probably helps him a lot.

Meep. Teal'c!

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

I know! I love Teal'c, though his speech patterns scare me from using him too often in fic (so often, he's too formal in fic, you know?).

Aaaahh!! No, Teal'c!! Okay, so all your snippets are in continuity, right? Sorry, I missed that the first time reading "Bloody Hands", so feel free to ignore that comment. *sniff* Damn it, poor Daniel. The angst keeps piling on, doesn't it. God, and he could do it too, if Teal'c asked him to, so that he could die free. Waah!

He really could. Poor Daniel. Poor Teal'c. Poor Jack, who doesn't understand yet.
