1: The icon meme! From
nenya_kanadka.
1. Reply to this post with "UNICORNS", and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.
(
Under a cut for babblage )
1. What they most commonly do during sex snugglytiems
Mac seems to prefer an either/or split between sex partners and long-term relationships, in canon, so I've landed Sam on the relationship side because she has too much personality for a one-off fling. ;P
(Besides, they would make an adorably cute snuggle-pair. I see it as being kind of like this Four/Romana II story; they'd go on ostensibly romantic dates that somehow involve a lot of running and/or explosions, and have to rescue each other from kidnappers every so often, and cuddle and debate science and do a lot of maths. Yes, I have a huge thing for intellectual-debate-as-intimacy. *g*)
2. Who has prettier hair
Sam. Just barely. Mac's S5 hair is pretty nice in a floppy wind-blown way, but NOTHING is cuter than early!Sam's slightly curly credits-hair.
3. What they argue about most often
Proper safety parameters and protocols. Mac is so sloppy sometimes. ;-)
4. Who'd cope best if the other one died
Sam, I think. Mac tends to angst about things; look at, oh, the racecar-driving episode and how long it took him to get over his backstory crash-up in that. (Admittedly car crashes are a tricky thing to get over - but yeah, Rick is so good at acting whumped that I think Sam would always come out better than Mac or Jack in a Being Well-Adjusted contest. Probably.)
5. The happiest plausible happily-ever-after I can think of for them
Probably Mac is a civilian consultant for the SGC, so he helps Siler keep things running and also gallivants off around the galaxy sometimes, and Sam does her being-in-charge thing (I am only very vaguely up on my SGA or post-S8 SG-1) and they are all teamy goodness and it is sweet and fun. The End.

Mac didn't have any long-term relationships in canon, except for friendships. He could quite obviously maintain any number of friendships, happily, for decades, especially if no pressure to ZOMG Make This Formal was applied. (Rather like RDA -- what a coincidence!) I like to think that, given how marvelous Sam is, she could quite happily maintain a fine snuggly friendship with him (with 'snuggle' taken to mean as much as one likes) without getting too messed up. Especially since she wouldn't make any attempt to domesticate him.
And, speaking from experience, intellectual connection can be very intimate.

Yes, that's approximately what I meant; I just didn't phrase it very clearly.
'given how marvelous Sam is, she could quite happily maintain a fine snuggly friendship with him'
I agree. :-)
