I'm re-reading Campfires Season 2 (shameless plug lol), and I just had a thought: I wonder how things would have been if there hadn't been regulations to prevent a relationship? I don't mean with Sam out of the chain of command, or not military; what if everything had been the same, except without regulations? (Forgive me if this has been discussed before.)

(Forgive me if this has been discussed before.)Unmade Plans (WIP: 11/20):
Sam's life takes a turn in an unexpected direction when she's faced with an unplanned pregnancy. The decision to keep the baby and raise it on her own will alter her life forever. Relationships are put to the test, especially the one between her and Jack. She doesn't know what to expect from him and he surprises her at every turn.
On FFnet or AO3
My S/J fics can be found on FFnet and AO3. I also tweet and tumble about the ship and my writing/stories.

I think that eventually they would have taken that next step and started a relationship (if there weren't any regs)... maybe around the time that Divide and Conquer took place

Sometimes though we all want a bit of what we can't have, so had there been no regulations do you think they would have fallen as deeply in love? I'm sure they probably would have but there could be some case of the fact it is forbidden making it all that more special.sigpic
Thanks to the wonderful Meredithe5 for the awesome sig

I also agree with Fems, I don't think Sam would have done anything whilst being military and the same chain of command. Even if there weren't regs, it still wouldn't look good for her. After all her Dad is a General and Hammond is also a friend of her father's. Dating Jack when he was her boss would probably have been the proverbial straw and she wouldn't have been taken seriously by her peers, however smart or good she is. As a civilian, however, she wouldn't have been so bothered because co-workers date all the time, even bosses and staff.Sam and Jack... Still the best romance on TV in years!

My opinion differs here but then, there's RST in my mind (canon the way I see it at least) even in the early seasons. Not that both their careers aren't important, or that there would be gossip and all, but there are several turning points in the series where their relationship would have changed. Just how I see things.Last edited by Ikorni; 05 April 2013, 04:13 PM.

I'm always intrigued by the idea that things may have happened between Sam and Jack pre-Threads (as more often than not the fanbase seems to agree on post-Threads as a starting point for their relationship).
