    Glad to know all went well. Sounds like it wasn't a Tallboy, thankfully. Trained or not, I think I would have wet myself if I had to defuse an old earthquake bomb.
    I tell you Teal'c, hockey is the coolest game on Earth!

    Did you not say it is played on ice, O'Neill?

      Amazing. And we take a moment to thank the British for destroying those supply lines before my dad got there.

        Good morning! It's the last track day of the season for me, which means I get my afternoons and Friday nights back! I will miss the overtime, though.

        Still working on the drabbles. I'll be back with a few more later on.

          Here they are!

          Spoiler:
          • “Are you drunk?”

          John frowned. “Why has everybody been asking me that today?”

          “Probably because you’re acting like it. You show up late to a briefing, you can’t even enunciate clearly, and from the scattered reports that I’ve received, you couldn’t even walk in a straight line on your way here.”

          “I swear I’m not drunk, Lishbeth.”

          He saw her sigh heavily and lean back in her chair.

          That wasn’t how you pronounced Elizabeth.

          So he tried again. “E-liz-a-beth.” He shrugged. “Why was that so hard?”

          Her eyes narrowed as she tapped her earpiece. “Weir to Dr. Beckett.”

          “This is Beckett.”

          “Carson, have you had any patients this morning who are displaying symptoms consistent with drunkenness?”

          “Such as slurred speech, impediment of motor dexterity skills?”

          “Exactly,” she replied, glancing up at John.

          He caught on to what she was thinking. “I’m not drunk,” he simply stated in fact, not in defense.

          “No, and I don’t think the others are either.”

          “How do you know there are others?”

          “I’ve had three patients this morning, displaying those symptoms to varying degrees.”

          Elizabeth looked at John. “Teyla, Ronon, and McKay?”

          “Aye.”

          “The fourth one is about to join them."



          • “It wasn’t supposed to happen like that.”

          Elizabeth frowned and glanced up at the lieutenant colonel blocking her way out of the puddle jumper. “What do you mean?”

          He shook his head, lightly gripping his P-90 which, considering that they were back in the safety of the jumper bay in Atlantis, concerned her. “That’s not the way it happened before.”

          “John, you got stuck a day in the past and relived everything exactly as it happened before. How could it have turned out different?”

          “When we were heading back to the gate the first time, one of their energy weapons must’ve hit it. At least, that was Rodney’s conclusion. But we left without a hitch and made it back through the gate at the right time.” He shook his head. “Something just doesn’t add up.”

          “Or,” Elizabeth interjected, rising from her seat, “maybe you’re just so used to the absurd amount of ridiculous incidents that we’ve been involved with that you’ve gotten paranoid.”

          He scoffed. “I am not being paranoid.”

          “Yeah, you are.”

          “I am not.”

          “Are too.”

          “Am not.”

          “Really, John?” she replied without missing a beat, looking him squarely in the eyes. “Can’t you just appreciate that we’ve managed to make it through unscathed one more time?”

          He let out a long sigh, running a hand down his face. “Crap. You’re right,” he quietly replied.

          “Maybe Carson should prescribe some time off,” Elizabeth suggested.

          “Like I’d actually take it,” John muttered.

          “I’ll have him sedate you for the week if necessary. John, you’re so stressed that you don’t even see it.”

          He turned his gaze upwards and groaned. “Maybe there’s some nice waves on the mainland.”

            Whoo! Sure does sound spectacular!

            Indeed.

            Yay for more free time! Though the overtime money is good, too.

            Those drabbles! Ooops, looks like the Alpha Team got hit with something offworld... As for the second one, Elizabeth, I think there's something that would mellow John out much better than one of Carson's sedatives. Hint hint.

            Sparky is on screen. Therefore, it is canon. Elizabeth is still out there. And John WILL bring her home.

              Loved them both. And I agree that all John needs is a hearty dose of Elizabeth.

                      I've watched much of that show. It's OK, but don't expect genius writing.

                        We liked that show in the beginning, but in the last couple of years it's gotten way too OTT for us. Enjoy it if you can keep it all straight.

                            Re OUAT: Have never seen it, and given some of the nuttiness I've heard out of the fandom, it's probably just as well.

                              The first couple of years were very good. Then they jumped a great white shark.
