Okay, NOW I ship Jack/Daniel.
I will not tell you what episode I'm up to, because then you would take the six days since I started watching it, divide that into the 28 hour-long episodes I've seen, and come out with numbers that prove for certain that I'm still unemployed. Heh.
However, I will say that I spend 65% of the time watching it thinking "Daniel Jackson, I am SO HOT FOR YOU right now." Why only 65%? Because I spend 25% thinking "Jack O'Neill, I am SO HOT FOR YOU right now" and 10% thinking "Sam Carter, I am SO HOT FOR YOU right now."
I am unimaginative and consistent.
So NOW I ship Jack/Daniel (Daniel is laying there DYING and he tells Jack "I'll watch your back" and Jack CARESSES HIS CHEEK, for God's sake!). Except when I'm shipping Daniel/Sam, which can only happen when I'm not busy shipping Jack/Sam, and then episode 2x07 has to throw some Jack/Teal'c in there too. The end result is that this is the team-shippiest show I have EVER seen. Seriously. This is like the holy grail of that "we put our lives in each others hands," "absolute trust, absolute dedication" team vibe and it makes me tingle.
Does anyone remember that scene in Firefly, where Wash is talking (apropos of completely nothing) about the planet where he saw a guy juggling goslings? And he's making little juggling motions with his hands and going "goslings! They were juggled!" and it's the cutest thing in the entire world because he has this facial expression that is half "Seriously, WTF?" and half total wonder and delight at the fantastic-ness of a universe where he can see people juggle goslings.
Er, nobody remembers that? It's my favorite Wash moment ever.
It's my favorite Wash moment ever, because life makes me feel like that all the time. (Mostly when I'm traveling, that completely inseparable mix of "WTF?" and JOY.) And one of the things that totally makes me feel that way is sex.
Because afterwards, one half of my brain is going "WTF? Seriously? He sticks one bit of his body in another bit of my body, and moves it about a bit, and we generally slobbered on each other a lot and got very sweaty and smell bad and why in the world did we do that anyway? I mean, honestly, juggling goslings?" but the other half of my brain is just soaked in total BLISS at the AWESOMENESS of any universe where a person gets to feel like that.
What? I warned you that that was both random and TMI.
The banner of Jensen going around makes me completely incapable of thinking anything except How is it fair or right or legal that someone looks like that in this world and I can't sleep with him? *sighs* Obviously, I have got something in my system this week.
So, for FOREVER now I've had this thing in my WIP folder. My "outlines for stories I'll never write" folder, actually- I have a lot of those, but it's less dignified to say. Anyway, it was going to be this RPS J2 bodyswap-except-not-bodyswap thing, where the boys finally film a bodyswap episode of the show. And then at the recent LA con they went and did this:

Oh, boys. I feel like I got Jossed by real life. Heh.
