Taking SG-1 prompts!

[sid]

I don't expect to get much useful done between now and year-end, so prompt me!

Jack/Daniel is default mode, but I'm down for gen or alternate pairings. You'll receive at least 100 words.

Winter themes, Christmas, New Year's are all seasonally appropriate, but anything goes. Well, maybe not death!fic. This time around. ;-)

Star-crossed is an understatement. *hands you hankie*

Thank you. I'm glad that at least they had a short time together again. *sniffles*

Lovely. I feel for her here, but at least she'll have some time with Daniel, and she's herself for now.

Re: Like Grains of Sand (a double drabble set just before "Secrets")

*nods* We have to be grateful for any small respite she had. It's good that she's been able to spend time with Kasuf, too. (And Skaara, we can assume.)

Thank you!

that was beautiful! I am so sorry I did not see this before now - am blaming the way yahoo's upgrade folders my things up in a way I no longer see them unless I remember to tab it out. I do love the imagery you have used here, particularly hot/cold. Really neat!

I'm glad you enjoyed it when you did see it! It was a great prompt; I really enjoyed writing it (and re-watching Secrets for research purposes. *g*)

Celebrate the Season

[sid]

Okay, it was a tree-lighting ceremony. When Jack looked around at his team, his wasn't the only face scrunched up in confusion. "I thought we decided they weren't from Earth?"

Daniel blinked at him. "I think the six fingers on the women, the shape of the heads, and the eyes that are all the exact same shade of green answer that question."

"Also, the breasts on the males," Teal'c added.

Jack winced. He kept trying not to notice that.

The mayor moved to the dais in the middle of the square, and spoke. "It is the turning of the page, the time of birth, when light enters the world."

Strands of red lights sprang into life, traversing the giant evergreen tree from base to tip. A strand of green lights lit, one by one, spiraling down from tip to base.

"Joy to the world," the mayor said.

"Joy!" the people shouted in response.

Sam's mouth dropped open as a zigzag of white lights began to glow.

"O, most holy night."

"Night most holy."

Daniel's mouth was open now.

"Darkness into light."

"We welcome the light."

A star beamed radiantly atop the tree.

"Whoa," Jack said, feeling a shiver run down his spine. "Daniel?"

"No," Daniel said. "Really. It can't be."

"Can't be Christmas?" Sam said, almost in a whisper.

"Then what the…heck?" Jack asked, not much louder.

A choir of children burst into song. It was nothing about saviors, or mangers. Or jolly fat men, or presents, or snow. They sang of the sky, and the stars, and the movement of the planets, of the division of the year, the seasons, of day and night.

"It is solstice," Teal'c said reverently.

Sam's "Oh!" intermingled with Jack's "Ah."

Daniel looked at Teal'c consideringly and opened his mouth.

Jack put a hand on Daniel's shoulder. "Later." Although he wouldn't mind knowing himself how the concept of celebrating solstice coexisted alongside faux gods like Apophis in the Jaffa universe. He looked up at the starry, clear, midnight sky. "Just enjoy."

[antares_dw]

I love Jack's "Just enjoy" for Daniel! The perfect answer to this "light show".
What a lovely idea! (And what a lovely icon! *g*)

Re: Celebrate the Season

[sid]

The icon is by dhamphir, and oddly enough just a few minutes ago I was telling someone else the same thing, who had commented on a different dhamphir icon! :-D

I don't remember how the idea came to me. I guess it just sprang into my head, lol. Thank you, muse!

This is so heartbreakingly beautiful.

I know there have to be alternate universes where Shau'ri and her Danyel had their happy ending, but I'm with Teal'c. Ours is the only universe that counts, and it's so sad... *sniffs*
