'Vigil', gen Stargate drabble

I wrote this about 36 hours ago.  I'm convinced now that I'll never think of a title.  So here it is:

VIGIL

The increasing noise woke Jack from his restless sleep.

 

Daniel put out a hand to stop him sitting up. “It’s okay,” he soothed. “It’s just thunder.”

 

Jack dabbed at his upper lip. “I’m hot.”

 

“I know. The rain will come soon and cool things down.”

 

There was a bright flash. “Lightning,” Jack murmured before slipping back into morphine-induced slumber.

 

Daniel listened to the rumbling and booming as the battle approached ever nearer. The night sky lit up. He crouched over his wounded friend protectively and prayed that Sam and Teal’c had made it through. 

That rescue would come in time.

def: a watch formerly kept on the night before a religious feast with prayer or other devotions.

Some comment fic

I wrote Daniel/Cameron (Matinee), which caused charmedstrange1to comment: you know I'd totally watch if you and Daniel wanted to hurt Cam a little. Please. I just (in my little fandom fantasy world) want the three of you (J/D/Sid) to un-break him in the end. :)

(Preferably through the use of handcuffs, homemade pie, and the absence of Cam's pants.) :P

I responded: "Hey, you've got it all figured out! You probably even know which kind of pie and who bakes it!

Now, I'm thinking we may need some whipped cream..."

This is the result! Pie for Cameron.  Enjoy!  :-D
