1. They went out for beers, and they reminisced (“Remember Urgo?” “Shut up, Daniel”), and they laughed, and at the end of the night they did this massive group-hug thing they’d never really done before and spread out simultaneously to find their cars in the parking lot.

They didn’t look back.

2. It was rushed and hurried, catching each other individually, on the run, and therefore totally dissatisfying.

3. They had no need to say good-bye. And even if Jack preferred snail mail, and Daniel invariably forgot to check his voice mail, and Sam’s spelling was atrocious if it didn’t involve words involving four syllables and/or the periodic table, and Teal’c didn’t exactly have cell phone reception where he was going, they knew they’d keep in touch.

4. They didn’t actually say good-bye. Words seemed a little…inadequate. So Sam went to Area 51, and Teal’c to rebuild the Free Jaffa Nation, and Daniel to Atlantis, Cameron and Vala took up space-pirating together, and Jack finally, really retired

So good and teamy!

I can envisage each one, painful, like the hard goodbyes they are.

With a bit of fun!(“Remember Urgo?” “Shut up, Daniel”) lol

[wishfulaces]

Thank you! And yeah, I can see each one too (but I think #5 is my personal favorite.) ;)

Oh, wow. Your icon's a little creepy when you just catch it moving out of the corner of your eye...

They need a do-over on #2.

I like #3 the best - because of course they'll keep in touch. Or plan to.

Cam and Vala as space pirates? That so works for me!

[wishfulaces]

Hee! Cam and Vala were a last-minute thing but once I stuck them in there I was very glad I had. :)

Wow, this was a tough one. Developing alternate versions was the way to go, I think. But of course we don't really *want* them to say goodbye.

[wishfulaces]

I didn't even think about making each one an individual good-bye until after I'd posted these...thanks. :)

[starglyph]

(pardon me)

There are Beatles icons?!

Please point me!

[wishfulaces]

Ah! Well, that icon I made myself (and I cannot for the life of me remember where I got the screencap). But I know lots of people post icons to beatlepics, so you might go hunting through their memories and/or tags?

[starglyph]

Thanks so much, I appreciate it :)

[wishfulaces]

You're welcome! I am all for sharing the Beatle love. :)

[advection]

These are wonderful, and I can see every one of them happening.

Also, I accidentally left screening on for this prompt. It's fixed now, but I don't know whether you got reply comments emailed to you, so there might be a couple here you haven't seen yet. Sorry about that!

[wishfulaces]

Thank you!

And at least a couple comments were sent to me via email, but i couldn't respond to them! Thanks for unscreening. :)

[msbeata]

Very good mixture.

I like your throwing Cam and Vala into the mix.

[wishfulaces]

Thank you!

It made for some screwy timing in my head about when some of these good-byes happened, but I couldn't ignore Cam and Vala. :)

[jenlev]

ah, lovely and poignant and oh my.

also, hee! "Indeed."
