Sam Carter /Jack O'Neill Ship Appreciation Thread 2.0

[hedwig]

I read a fic about what happens to Sam during the year in Continuum when she was on her own. She is working in a garage when a boy happens by, and thereafter keeps coming by. He finally gets up enough nerve to talk to her. It's Charlie, and he lives with his father. At some point, Sam and Jack meet. It turns out that the Sam in their reality was not only the heroic astronaut who died when the shuttle crashed, but she was also Jack's wife and Charlie's mother. I don't recall if that fic was finished, but where it ended it had Sam going back to help with the invasion.

That's an interesting one!

i remember reading that too but i forgot the title do you happen to know it?

I probably could write a fanfic of them together and make it seem like it was an episode from the series!

It sure looks good, all that stuff! Too bad it'll have to wait. This year for Lent I'm giving up Sg1 and all related stuff (except on Sundays...that's the break day) so I have limited time to ship until after Easter.

Question - I don't suppose you can subscribe to the thread after it's closed? I'm afraid I'll never be able to find the thread again after not being able to come online yesturday

If someone could PM me with the answer that'd be great. I'm going to be incommunicado for a while (except to talk about non-sg1 things). See y'all in a few weeks!

That's ok. See you then.

And the grand power of Valenship shippy love is...

We did good. We did real good.

*nods head*

*nods head along with A. Karswyll*

Yeah. We did good

Similar to what Ikorni said, I don't think friendship and romance are mutually exclusive. I think that was the major fallacy of that story, which is what left such a foul, bitter taste behind for me.

In fact, what I love about the S/J relationship is that they are both firm friends and completely in love.

Love that bolded line.

i understand. i *really* support ppl writing what/how they want, i just wish i hadn't tried it.


so on another topic, and one that's OT...

my sister said to me today, 'what would you think if i gave you richard dean anderson, made out of chocolate?'

separately they're both wonderful, but together....

**THUNK**

Hi everyone, hope you’re all well!

Sorry I haven’t been around much lately, but real life and all that... I was around briefly on Saturday for Valenship, and I managed to get a fic written - both not posted sadly. It’s posted now though, so I guess better late than never, right?

If any of you are interested in reading a little S/J ship, here’s the link as I couldn’t figure out the ‘spoiler’ thing, sorry! (The fic is rated T, just to be on the safe side, but there’s nothing really in it to warrant that rating).

Punches And Posies - http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9027163/1/

Also apologies if this is posted in the wrong place. Enjoy!

Never apologize for posting good/great/exceptional S/J fic here.

NEVER.

A chocolate RDA? or chocolate covered RDA... I'll take either!

I bet the guys would love to see Carter/Sam covered in chocolate!

Question, do you think that Jack would have fallen for Sam if they hadn't worked together at SGC?

YES.

As proven in every alternate reality we've ever seen.

Sam and Jack are meant to be together. So whether they're military, school teachers, fisherman and woman buying fish, they will meet, they will connect, they will fall in love, in any reality.

That's my take on it.

Just sayin'

So... Shippy Madness?

Sparky!!!

LOL just wondered! I hope you don't mind me asking these questions!

Not at all. This thread thrives on questions.

Sam's a pool shark isn't she?

And I like that idea.

That's an interesting plot. Sounds worth the read.

Hiya trinity! Been a bit!

[avp60685]

Okay here is part of a scene I'll start out and you tell me if you think it sounds like Jack and Sam:

Samantha "Sam" Carter had been researching an alien crash on Area 51, she was collecting soil samples and putting them into small clear sandwich bags. "Packing some fiber to your diet?" a voice asked. Sam looked up and saw that it was Jack O'Neill the military surveillance of the site. "Not exactly sir, you see we have reason to believe that this soil may hold some clues to how to cure many known diseases we have here on our planet." "Yeah yeah we've been hearing that one for decades and nothing's become of it yet" Sam chuckled "well sir you see, this time it may actually something." "You know what I think? I think you talk to much for a scientist" Jack cupped Sam's face in his hands and gave her a deep and passionate kiss on the lips right then and there!

A little OOC, but I still like it anyway!

Thanks Sparky!

Lol I love it, trinity!

I now have a fanfiction thread where you guys can give me scenarios and I can try and write them out!

[selene0789]

I was taken in by this story as well. The title (IMO) suggests they get back together in the end, so I just thought they'd find their way back into each other's arms through their friendship... but they didn't.

So then I read the 2013 Valenship collection that Selene posted and I was a happy shipper again!

Hee hee! Glad to be of service!

love the wallpaper picture it's so pretty!

Question, do you think that Jack would have fallen for Sam if they hadn't worked together at SGC?

Well, if they're not working together at the SGC, then that would make this question a matter for the AU-sphere, right? Right. So...

What's the criteria? Are we assuming that they're both military, but not working together? Or are we assuming one or both of them are NOT military?

Here are some possibilities:

Both are military- Sam remained a fighter pilot until getting recruited by NASA. She's on the shuttle that picks up SG-1 from orbit after destroying Apophis' incoming fleet in "Serpent's Lair". Their eyes meet and it's over. Smitten. The End.

Sam is military, Jack is not- Sam loses a close comrade of hers in the war. She goes to a grief counseling group, and happens to go the same night Jack participates for the first time. He's just lost his son. They make a connection through their mutual distrust of touchy-feely psychology, and they slowly come to rely on each other to move past their respective losses. They marry five years later.

Jack is military, Sam is not- Jack injures his knee in early training. Gets work as a groundsman for a prestigious academy until he heals. John Deere engine breaks down, Sam (a student) comes to rescue him. Jack tries to hide it but he's head over heels. Please refer to Beyond the Stars for full details.

Neither are military- Sam is a concert pianist. When an avid fan becomes threatening, her publicist (Janet) enlists the aid of bodyguard Jack O'Neill to keep Sam safe until the stalker can be brought to justice. Despite his best efforts, a friendship blossoms between them. Jack tries to keep things professional, but when close calls come one after the other, Jack realizes that Sam is no ordinary woman, and her stalker is no ordinary threat. He nails the bad guy, and just before Jack takes his leave, Sam asks him to stay-- always.

Of course, these are just a few possibilities.

Long story(s) short, I think that they do not necessarily get together in every universe/reality. For whatever reason, something may prevent them from coming together. I'm not suggesting that they are miserable in every reality in which they are not together. They may find love independently of each other, and they may even be very happy with others, but they simply do not reach the perfection they find in each other.
