Oh the angst, oh the drama!
As an attempt to put off writing my English essay just that much longer... DRABBLES! Yup, more Sam/Jack drabbles. This week's challenge: Season 4. Oh the romantic angst! Written for sj100.
Title: That Look
Rating: G
Prompt: The look in "Divide & Conquer"
Summary: Appearances can be deceiving
That Look
During the day, everything seemed normal. Jack teased Daniel, Teal’c watched them with well-concealed amusement, and she popped into the conversation whenever she could, bolstering Daniel’s position (much to the colonel’s chagrin).
It wasn’t until she tried to sleep that she would recall bitterly how things weren’t right.
That Look in the corridor hadn’t said ‘I love you’; it had said something more. Maybe it was the soldier in her, but ‘I would die for you’ seemed far more romantic (and enduring) than a plain ‘I love you’.
What good was dying, though, if they couldn’t live for each other?

Title: My Shadow
Rating: PG
Prompt: The breath in "Entity"
Summary: Death follows him like a shadow.
My Shadow
Somehow, he managed to be responsible for the death of everyone he loved and cared for most.
Charlie wasn’t the first - he’d seen friends killed in the field before. He knew it wasn’t his fault, but deep down he kicked himself. He wasn’t fast, clever, or brave enough to get them through the fight alive.
And now...
Sam.
His back ached from hunching in the chair by her bed. She couldn’t die, and yet a part of Jack was already resigned that she had.
Because in that moment when he’d pulled the trigger, he couldn’t remember ever loving her more.
