'Glitch', J/D pre-slash, PG-13

[sid]

Early seasons UST.  Beta by tejas.  *smooches in her general direction*  580 words.

GLITCH

Jack rose from one of the logs that made up their little home-away-from-home campsite. He and Daniel had been stranded here on PX1-245 for three days now. Three brief bursts of radio communication from the SGC, carried through three short-lived wormholes, had filled them in on the technical problems back home that had led to the Stargate closing behind Carter and Teal’c before Jack and Daniel had stepped through, and the DHD failing to reconnect.

 

Yeah, they’d had a good ten minutes of heart-stopping dread before that first message came through, when they couldn’t help imagining disasters of all sorts, but it could have been so much worse; nobody was hurt, nobody lost in transit. Carter, luckily, wound up where she was most needed in order to get the problem resolved. And the two of them were left behind on a quiet planet with no hostile natives, no dangerous predators. None so far, anyway. Temperate climate, potable water, MREs as back-up if the fish stopped biting. Quite the nice little vacation, actually.

 

And Jack was about ready to crawl out of his skin. Time had come to scratch a nagging itch, and a little privacy was going to be required. “I’ll be back,” he announced casually.

 

Daniel looked up from his book. “Where’re you going?”

 

“Just takin’ a walk. I won’t be long.”

 

Daniel stuck his bookmark into the open page and said, “I could come with.”

 

“Nah,” Jack said, starting to move away. “Stay put; enjoy your book.”

 

“I wouldn’t mind stretching my legs.”

 

Jack edged further away. “I just need some me-time.” He lifted one shoulder apologetically. Daniel frowned and lowered his head back towards his book. Jack turned away, grimacing.

 

“So, you’re either going to masturbate, or you’re just sick of my company,” Daniel said conversationally.

 

Jack halted in his tracks and turned slowly back towards the campsite. Daniel gave him an entirely innocent look. “Ya know,” Jack finally drawled, “a guy could get sick of the company of somebody who asked too many personal questions.”

 

“I didn’t ask you a question. Did I?” Wide eyes, open face, inquisitively raised eyebrows. Made Jack want to smack him one, because he knew the smirk was there, even if he couldn’t see it.

 

“Listen,” Jack began.

 

Daniel did smirk then. He waved a hand. “Go. Do.” 

 

Jack made a quarter turn towards the direction he’d been heading, and then stopped. And stood.

 

“Jack?”

 

Jack closed his eyes and shook his head.

 

“You look like the donkey who’s trying to choose between two bales of hay,” Daniel chuckled.

 

Jack opened his eyes and rolled them. “You calling me a jackass?”

 

“If the name fits.”

 

And, boy, had that sounded gleeful. Jack turned his head and looked along his shoulder. 

 

Daniel pushed his glasses up his nose and beamed at him, happy as a clam. “Weren’t you going somewhere?”

 

“Well, if I did have an urge,” Jack grumped, “it’s gone now.”

 

Daniel was laughing at him openly as Jack made his way back to his log. Oh, well. Sex wasn’t everything, and Daniel scratched most of Jack’s other itches. Probably just as well Daniel was a married man, though, or Jack might be tempted to try his hand. And he knew that could only lead to disaster. Right?

 

Daniel grinned at him companionably and Jack’s brain and good sense gave up the fight and sank into a fog of slightly horny bliss. He hoped fervently that rescue took a long, long time.

*smooches back*

Now, you realize you do have to move it along some in their relationship.

We're not going to stop hounding you until we get to the smut. :-)

[sid]

In other words, you are asking me to KILL SHA'RE???

*is outraged*

Or....

I've never written unfaithful!Daniel....

[green-grrl.livejournal.com]

Aha ha ha ha! Wicked Daniel! Poor Jack!

[sid]

Daniel's got that chain firmly in his hand and he's not afraid to yank it. ;-)

[starting-gate.livejournal.com]

Stranded. With Daniel. Who’s married. And he can’t jerk off? That’s torture!

And totally enjoyable. :)

(You need a little fixit: And, boy, did that sounded gleeful.)

[sid]

(Thanks for the catch!)

I'm glad you enjoyed Jack's torment. :-D

[whimsicalwhims.livejournal.com]

Hee! Stranded! Yay!

Poor Jack. Daniel's now found a new source of entertainment, hasn't he?

[sid]

Well, you know, in case he finishes all his books, now he has a backup source of entertainment, that's all.

I think this is my first stranded!fic. Examines checklist. Still need to write an amnesia!fic, though. ;-)

[catspaw-sgjd.livejournal.com]

Hee, nice one :-) Go, Daniel, with the deductive reasoning LOL

[sid]

Daniel knows his Jack, he just doesn't know that Jack's his. Hee!

Glad you enjoyed. :-)

[janedavitt.livejournal.com]

They know each other way, way too well :-)) Lovely and so very them.

[sid]

Thank you! I'm not sure how early in the timeline this falls, but it's nice to see Daniel has no problem figuring out what's going on and is relaxed enough to tease!

And the banter just pulls Jack back to Daniel's side. Aw!

[princessofg.livejournal.com]

this is lovely. daniel would so needle him like that. thank you for posting. i have a big schmoopy grin on my face now.

[sid]

Should I go back and label this pre-schmoop? :-D

I'm so glad it made you smile.

[jd-junkie.livejournal.com]

Squees. Someone else is clearly in their early seasons happy place. :-))
Very them. Very nice. Is very happy. :-))

[sid]

*nods vigorously* *does happy dance*

Thanks! :-)

D'awwwwwww, old married love. And they don't even know it, yet. Sillies.

(*glee*)

[sid]

They're well on their way, aren't they? Jack's on point, but Daniel's got his six and will catch up to him one of these days. :-)

[msbeata.livejournal.com]

try his hand

So many entendres so little time. *g*

[sid]

LOL! Ok, ok. *g*

[melayneseahawk.livejournal.com]

*is still slightly high on having met Michael Shanks in person this weekend*

Burble?

[sid]

Ooh! You lucky thing!

"Burble" is perfectly adequate feedback, don't worry. ;-)

[muck-a-luck.livejournal.com]

That was awesome! And Daniel is a v. bad, bad boy. Yes. He is.

[sid]

Hey, now, Daniel wasn't the one who was going to go sneaking off to, ahem, spend some me-time.

Daniel's a good boy. ;-)

[ph290.livejournal.com]

pleeeeeeease, write a sequel :-)

[sid]

I'm sorry, but Sha're refuses to allow a sequel. ;-)

[dunderklumpen.livejournal.com]

How you know that you read too many Daniel/Jack fics:
1. You ask yourself with whom Daniel is married.
2. You ask yourself why it's a problem because he can only be married to Jack.
3. Sha're who?

For a split second I completely forgot canon! *g*

[sid]

1. There's no such thing as too many J/D fics.
2. Going forward, certainly Daniel will never marry again unless it's to Jack.
3. Reserve your front row pew now!

Off Topic- Heeeeyyyyyy!

[charmedstrange1.livejournal.com]

First of all, *on* topic, I love how Daniel just reeeeeeels him back in, even if he doesn't realize it (yet). *g*

But now, *off* topic- You got a new layout liek woah!! Is Cool!!! And you didn't even announce it. >:| Alas, I'll miss the romance novel covers, but the new look is v., v. nice. Yay!

Re: Off Topic- Heeeeyyyyyy!

[sid]

It's really just an experiment. I wanted to get the links list away from the top and off to the side, but I'm not entirely thrilled with the rest of the layout. But for some reason when I tried to go back to my original setup, nothing happened. So maybe I'll get used to this arrangement. Hmm, possibly I can shift things over and squeeze in a romance novel? Who knows what may happen. Stay tuned! Maybe a new layout every DAY!

[hangebokhan.livejournal.com]

Ok, (this is themed with the first comment stream in mind) who says that Daniel and Shau're really were anything more than really good friends that played married so that she would not be shamed before her village?

If that is the case, then faithfulness had nothing to do with it ^^ Bring on the SMUT!

And that was a wonderful smoopy story.

[sid]

*giggle* Speaking of shame: Oh, you're so BAD!

Glad you enjoyed the story!
