Sam Carter /Jack O'Neill Ship Appreciation Thread 2.0
Working my way backwards to catch up the drabbles. I never knew I could like these so much! Fun, fun, fun!
Never Again
Spoiler:
“‘Come with me,’ you said. ‘It’ll be fun,’ you said. I swear, Carter if I have to sit here for one more…” His complaint lodged in his throat as she stepped out of the dressing room wearing a red, white, and blue bikini.
Jack would never again complain about going shopping with Sam.
Irregular Orbit
Spoiler:
Black holes will wreak havoc in a solar system if they get too close to a planet. They will literally pull the planet apart over time affecting the orbits and trajectories of other objects in the system.
Irregular orbits slowly sending heavenly bodies slamming into each other with no regard for physics or the rules and regulations thereof.
Sam slowly opened her eyes just enough to peek through the half-opened lids at the man next to her. She couldn’t stop the smile that spread across her face. Heavenly body indeed.
Triumph
Spoiler:
“Yes!” Jack threw his fists up in the air as if he’d just won the Stanley cup. “Finally!”
Sam smirked at him as she added up the points on the Scrabble board. “Doohickeys” had just earned Jack a triple word score.
A Moment in Time
Spoiler:
“Ours is the only reality of consequence.”
She wasn’t sure why Teal’c’s words were commanding her thoughts today. Maybe she wished she were somewhere else…some other day…or time.
Time.
She’d always felt that there would be a time when she’d have her one day, her always. But now she realized that one moment in time could change her reality forever. She looked at the Colonel lying so still and pale in the infirmary bed. She brought his hand to her lips and promised in the sweetest of whispers, “Tomorrow.”
I'd actually gone to bed, but stupidly started thinking about a drabble for Obsession. I thought I might as well get up and write it before I forget it.
My first drabble!
Spoiler:
Daniel knew exactly where to find them.
He made his way down the hall and came to a slow stop just outside the doorway to her lab.
Sam sat hunched over her laptop, brow furrowed in concentration as she tapped away furiously at the keys. No doubt she was on the cusp of some scientific breakthrough... again.
Jack was perched on a stool, a similar expression on his face. Except that he was trying to master that yo-yo trick that looked like a swing... rock the cradle? Was that it?
Daniel took a small step forward, shoved his hands down into his pockets and shifted a bit of his weight against the doorframe. Neither of them seemed to noticed him, or if they had they had no intention of letting him know it. That would spoil their game.
He loved watching his two friends like this, and it had made him forget what he'd wanted to talk to them about. They both seemed so engrossed with their respective activities, but to Daniel they looked... whole... complete. There was a pattern to them, like a circle. No. Like a yin yang. Yes, that was it. He could see it. And he could tell by their body language - the way Sam's head was tilted just so, the way Jack's body leaned towards her - that they weren't really obsessed with what they were doing.
Nope, Daniel wasn't going to spoil this little game... even if he was being ignored.

OK, here's the rest of the drabbles. I'm not sure what happened but somewhere between Seeking Solace and Have a Little Faith a giant rabbit hopped through my brain and covered all my angst with it's fluffy fluff. Strange, very strange. Happy Reading!
Seeking Solace
Spoiler:
Usually it was hiding in her lab, lights out, staring into the darkness. Sometimes it was pushing her limits on the running path or pushing the limits of her bike as she took corners so fast it was almost impossible to maintain control. But tonight she needed something more.
Desperate to erase the haunted images that kept assaulting her mind, she fought to keep her composure. Turning around she found him there and lost her control, her breath, and all pretense that she would find the solace she was seeking anywhere else but in his body tonight.
It’s Complicated
Spoiler:
And there it was. Simple, but beautiful, it was perfect.
No glitz, no glam, but just enough girly girl to make her giddy.
“You two been together long?” the salesperson asked.
“You could say that,” he answered.
“I see,” she said with a smile. “So its been a long drawn out angst-filled courtship full of obstacles and situations constantly forcing you to throw your love aside for the greater good until years later you finally got the chance to make your own dreams a reality?”
“Ah, well when you say it like that you make it seem so complicated.”
To Oz
Spoiler:
She curled up on the couch next to him savoring the moment. His feet were on the coffee table, a bowl of popcorn in his lap. She smiled up at him resting her head on his shoulder and reveling in the warmth of his arm wrapped around her.
“Ready?” he asked practically drowning her with his chocolaty gaze.
“To Oz,” she whispered breathlessly as the adventure began.
Busted
Spoiler:
“C’mon Daniel.”
“No, Sam.”
“Please?”
“No.”
“Pretty please?” She batted her eyes at him and pouted.
“Really? Did you really think that would work? That just like that you could bend me to your will?”
“You’d be surprised what I can get away with using just my lips and my baby blues.”
“Really, Carter…do tell.”
“D’oh.”
Busted.
Have a Little Faith
Spoiler:
“I can do this.”
“I didn’t say you couldn’t, I just asked if you wanted some help!”
“No, gave me the instructions! Really, Sam, the instructions!?!”
“I thought you might need a little…guidance is all.”
He reached up to rub her swollen belly and gave it a quick kiss before turning his attention back to the task at hand. “I got this, really. Can you just have a little faith?”
“Yes, Sir,” she answered with a grin. ‘What is it with men and directions?’ she thought.
He didn't know how many loops he'd been through, but he was SOOO over it.
And then he'd kissed her. So emphasis on the was.
Now he just wanted to do it again and again and again... and again. Now, suddenly, the idea of kissing Carter every ten hours until the end of time, sans consequences, seemed pretty damn appealing.
He definitely wasn't telling Teal'c about this. No, Teal'c might just decide to explore the idea of making him very dead every ten hours until the end of time. Who knows how many different ways a Jaffa has to kill a man?
And then there was Sam. Carter. He'd have all the time in the world to get to know all about her. But she'd never remember even one of their conversations... not a single one of the moments they would share. She didn't even remember their kiss.
This wasn't the way. Jack knew he'd have another window of opportunity. Someday. And when it happened he'd get to kiss Carter every day for the rest of his life. And she'd definitely remember.
