1. When he got turned into a five year old by that damn tribe. 'Find your inner child' his ass. All he found was Hammond's lap as he ended up bawling his eyes out after falling off the briefing room chair.

2. The time Daniel went off with SG-12 to that hippie planet and ended up being punted back through the 'gate, high as a kite, buck naked, and singing show tunes. He laughed until he cried.

3. Watching Titanic. He'll deny it until his dying day, but that Old couple in the bed gets him going every time.

4. The eleventh time (or was it the twelth?) time he found himself crumpled on the floor of Ba'al's cell. He'd had enough. He'd been sliced, burnt, poisoned, and god knew what else. He curled up against a wall and wept.

1. He didn't, couldn't, cry when Charlie died. He sat there, listening to the empty sympathies of complete strangers, and felt completely drained. He couldn't cry, couldn't even function. He could only replay that horrible gunshot, over and over.

Sweet, funny, sappy, and then boom! Ba'al and Charlie. Ouch.

Great job.

Instant, near-primal response to Jack-as-five-year-old-bawling: Hug the child, hug the child!

Of course, he'd probably smack me if I did. :)

These were great -- and I loved that you ran the spectrum of tears, instead of necessarily focusing only on sorrow.

Oh, and...

'Find your inner child' his ass. All he found was Hammond's lap as he ended up bawling his eyes out after falling off the briefing room chair.

...Tada! My aversion to kidfic, instantly cured! Hee.

Lighthearted imagination on the first three, then the punch of the last two - well done.

This made me laugh:

And, um, that old couple in the bed gets me every time, too.
