Well, no it won’t be. And now that I’ve mentioned it, all of this will be bitterly disappointing in comparison. Apologies.
First of all, starting out with post showered Sam with still wet hair is as sure to please as finding a fifty in your pants. And did Sam speak with the toothbrush still in her mouth? Hey look I found a fifty in the other pocket!
I like Sam and Janet’s casual affection in the opening scene. Every simple gesture to each other is filled with such love that they really only need to be in each other’s presence to feel it. I love the swaying. And I loved their banter.
I did get to "I could just expose myself” and my mind just totally swerved onto that detour, slamming my brain right up against the side of my skull with the inertia, and imagined Sam at the bridge just giving her top a yank up to her spellbound crew. And then one guy in the back points and shouts “BOOOOOOBS!”
It’s amazing that you can deliver the complete astoundingness of what Sam has achieved over the years in a simple paragraph. I especially loved (I squealed) the bit about McKay.
That’s a really interesting back story about Janet too. One I haven’t encountered before. Nirrti became a significant Goa’uld not just in the scheme of the mythology but for Janet specifically. Nirrti’s targets were always the people closest to the doctor, and Janet was the one to confront her on it.
Clever too, that you not only bring Ba’al’s cloning technology in to stitch up the seams, but that it’s obviously a subtle in-joke, cloning the dead doctors of Stargate and keeping them imprisoned to do the villain’s (Wriath/Goa’uld) evil bidding.
It’s horrifying to think, though, that Janet regularly needed the sarcophagus. When it comes to Nirrti, she’s capable of some truly monstrous things, and her capacity to desecrate the human body knows no bounds.
Hotsexohmygod. Um. If that got me this wet and I wasn’t even participating, I find it amusing Sam would be able to just pull on her panties and march off to the bridge and not feel...well...hmmm...not to mention smell...And Janet just came. I mean wow. Maybe they like that though. :P
Distress call. From the strangely patriotic ship Anthem USA.
And a dude with a headwound called Peisinoe; the seductress Siren. Interesting. :D
Who sideswipes a ship and doesn’t notice and stop to say “Ah fuck. Sorry.”
Peisinoe speaks lies. LIES I say!
I do love the casual arm touching, and the kiss Sam and Janet can share in a full infirmary. You mention before that military restrictions were eased for Atlantis but you mentioned nothing about those leniencies extending to the Hammond, so it says a lot about the loyalty of Sam’s crew, and just how much she is loved and respected as their CO.
Teles was a quiet woman with strong features, her dark hair obscuring her face like a hood and was wearing an “I’m totally a bad guy” T-shirt. :P
Essji-on! LOLS! I love you.
The ceremony to hand over the shoulder badges was a really cool idea, and gave authenticity to the story as part of the ongoing mythos. And Jonas Quinn, too. Awww. I loved that guy. Always so cheerful, eyes full of sparkles, no matter how hopeless the situation. Even when he frowned he was still so happy.
I also would like a hot bubble bath and a Samassage.

I am so glad the Nirrti backstory is significant to the current story. I was impressed with it when you first established it and now I’m just giddy.
It was like a baptism. Beautiful.
"Just dandy, Colonel.” Janet would say nothing less. Your dedication to these characters is just beyond anything else I’ve read.
He turned his weapon and pressed it against Janet's chest just over her heart. Symbolic.
It’s a great examination of Sam’s character to put her in a situation so physically restricted and structured, her at one end, Alliance and Janet on the other, and for her to find her voice for impossible words. Playing it cold is more than a gamble. The Alliance would need to know very little of how the Tau’ri military operate, and with all the stories coming from SGC and Atlantis about how their soldiers strategise and conduct missions, resolve conflicts, Sam would really have to get that coldness to make her seem subhuman, and not at all associated with those stories.
Sam is generally perceived as the least likely to employ that kind of tactic, whereas Jack calls bluffs for breakfast. John calls bluffs too, but never with that kind of cold conviction, more blaze aloofness. I could see Daniel being cold, simply because he is overly passionate and sentimental and as alternate timelines tell us, he’s a half-step away from being that cold-hearted and ruthless.
But Sam. She can make painfully hard calls, such as ordering the Hammond to abandon her pilots. It is so interesting to see just what would push Sam into that kind of fearless place. Because an absence of fear makes someone almost inhuman. Fear is a part of being human, and is our most primal response.
I love her shock at coming out from that state and being aware of where she’d gone to. I think that, more than anything else that happened, will haunt her with aggression.
Vala could be a cover hog. First of all, *gigglesnort*. Second of all, I too, don’t believe you can turn back time. You certainly can’t erase time. So whatever that was that happened, wasn’t the reversal of time. Sam did experience those things, and since Teal’c has those memories, all that time exists when it shouldn’t, in Teal’c. I can totally believe that when Teal’c talks about some of his memories, however briefly, that metaphysical forces revive Sam’s memories of things she, supposedly, never did. But she DID experience them.
Anyway, I’m not sure I’m explaining it well, but you wrote this so you must get it. lol!
"Boys and their toys.” Janet’s talking to you, GC.
"If anything happens that you think is above your pay grade, just give yourself a promotion."
"How high can I go?" Erin asked.
"Brigadier General."
"Good to know, ma'am. Sleep well."
LOL!
Aaaaand sexins. Super hot sexins. But this feedback is already over 1200 words so to condense my reaction: Uuhhhnnnn....*orgasmface*

Well, Sam knew that he wouldn't throw away his bargaining chip. Without Janet, he would have nothing to stop the SG teams from rushing in and opening fire randomly. But still, a huge gamble on Sam's part.

~laughs~ Thank you kindly.
Your dedication to these characters is just beyond anything else I’ve read.
~blush~ Thank you. I'm so protective of them! I feel like I created them myself sometimes. Which is weird. And I know I didn't! ~eyes the beasts of lawyers and copyright~ ;-D

RIGHT! See, I believe that they did rewind it to a point. But there would be leftovers. You don't just live sixty years in a body and then throw it in reverse. There has to be some lingering after effects. There's even a hint at the fact they retained something in the final scene of the episode, when they're going through the old cliches. :D

Go with what works! ;-D

Awwww. You can elaborate in your modest-by-comparison 900 word response to this response. ~g~

Get ready cause this is going to be better than an impromptu blowjob from Amanda Tapping herself. Well, no it won’t be. And now that I’ve mentioned it, all of this will be bitterly disappointing in comparison. Apologies.
See there, you just made it worse! Tsk. Ten more massive feedbacks on your debt! Mwahaha (it doesn't help that I had a dream about Amanda using masturbation-as-a-sleep-aid this morning).

I think the rabid- and wet-dog look is EXTREMELY sexy. It's a kink, for sure. ;-D

That's one reason I love watching old-school SG-1. Seeing how much Sam has grown as a person (and how Amanda has grown as an actress) is just amazing to watch. :D
That’s a really interesting back story about Janet too. One I haven’t encountered
I love the idea of Janet and Nirrti being arch-enemies. "You killed my daughter's people, so it's on like Donkey Kong (trademark)." There's an INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND novel that deals with Nirrti getting revenge on Janet for holding a gun on her. It's great and there's some Nirrti/Janet subtext going on. Mmm, enemy sex. ;-D The bit about McKay calculating Sam to be the most-traveled human is from another novel, but it's utterly terrible. So it can be ignored. ~g~
Clever too, that you not only bring Ba’al’s cloning technology in to stitch up the seams, keeping them imprisoned to do the villain’s (Wriath/Goa’uld) evil bidding.
What's good for the goose...! I hated that they brought Carson back with such a hand-wave thing. But I couldn't make Janet a clone. It had to be the real deal. Although the Janet clone would have been brought back alive, so Nirrti KILLED JANET'S CLONE RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER. ~gasp shock horror~
Hotsexohmygod. Um. If that got me this wet and I wasn’t even participating, I find it amusing Sam would be able to just pull on her smell...And Janet just came. I mean wow. Maybe they like that though. :P
Erin didn't mention it, but she SO smelled it. She's used to it by now. ;-D
Distress call. From the strangely patriotic ship Anthem USA.
More Anthe-musa. But it could be patriotic! ;-D
And a dude with a headwound called Peisinoe; the seductress Siren. Interesting. :D
Every name was related to the sirens. Planets and people and the ship. Siren song! Hence the title. ;-D
Peisinoe speaks lies. LIES I say!
Congrats on spelling it right. I cheated. I wrote it in pidjin and then did a "search+replace" when I was done. So when I was writing it was Payseno. ~g~
I do love the casual arm touching, and the kiss Sam and Janet can share in a full about the loyalty of Sam’s crew, and just how much she is loved and respected as their CO.
~nods~ Indeed. I think that Atlantis relaxed a LOT of people's conceptions of what was allowable in the military hierarchy. So that just carried on to the Hammond and the SGC. I mean, if they'll let Camile Wray fuck her girlfriend in the body of an officer, then what else will they allow? ;-D
Essji-on! LOLS! I love you.
Alien pidjin is fun!! :D
The ceremony to hand over the shoulder badges was a really cool idea, and gave authenticity to the story as part of the ongoing mythos.
If SG-1 HAD to break up (and they have, because... well, all evidence points to that. Sam said Teal'c WAS a member of SG-1 on Atlantis, and now she's got a ship. So I figure Sam is on the Hammond, Teal'c is with the Free Jaffa, and Cam/Vala/Daniel are having nice little polyamorous jaunts around the universe as SG-something else.
I also would like a hot bubble bath and a Samassage.
Hey, who wouldn't? She does those Samassages naked, you know.

I meant more that the dude had a girl's name that meant seductress. He might have identity issues. :D
