Title: Summer Lovin'
Rating: PG
Pairing: Sam/Jack
Summary: In my life, I love you more...

Author's Note: This was written for oparu via her request on a meme for "Sam/Jack, summery." There were over five variations and attempts to write the original drabble before it eventually spawned this one, leaving a backstory that's referenced in the first sentence ( ( Read more... )

Author's Pre-Story Note: Not exactly sure how the logistics work, but hey; it's fic. And sounds cuter than it really is.

Note II: A reminder that separate pieces are not in the same AU; thus 'Ten' is not in the same universe as 'Nine', and so forth.

Note III: Good heavens, I really haven't done this in a while, have I? Must finish this up, so I feel ( Read more... )

Because I'm working with a skeleton frame and filling in the less important pieces later, I'm making a basic outline for my Paper Silhouettes universe fics.

Listed in chronological order, grouped by "arcs".

Possession Is Nine-Tenths of the Law
Acceptance
Deus Ex Machina

Lasting Comfort

Sam is mad.

Not “Honey I’m pissed off so give me some time”, or “I’m tired of trying to overlook your failings as a wife/husband” and definitely not “Yeah, I’m mad as hell but if we have sex I’ll be fine”.

No, this is something remarkably close to a primordial rage- a “Talk to me and die” mad.

It is her fault, she admits to herself as the lights ( Read more... )

Title: A Shoulder For You
Rating: PG
Pairing: SJ
Summary: Post-mission breakdown.

Author's Note: A snippit of a longer story I never got around to writing.

She felt herself go limp, sliding down the wall to sit as the tears poured out. Slowly, carefully, Jack came to sit beside her, a source of comfort, reassurance. Finally, Carter could breathe ( Read more... )

She left at dawn.

Jack had woken up knowing that she was already gone, had opened his eyes to see an empty depression in the bed where Sam had been, and felt his heart reach a strange stillness. His arms remembered the feel of her; his lips remembered the taste of her; his skin remembered her warmth. At that moment, he understood the calm peace ( Read more... )

He is standing in the doorway, watching her walk up the driveway, face impassive- that careful blankness it takes on around her. She stops a few feet away from him, standing on the edge of the porch as her gaze pulls away from the ground and up to his eyes.

“I’m taking the mission.”

It is not a question, but a statement. She isn’t looking for his ( Read more... )

Title: Death's Freezing Smile
'Verse: Half-Remembered Dreams
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: SJ
Summary: Her words cut too close for comfort.

Part I  |  Part II

Author's Note: It's been... almost ten months since I posted anything HRD related. Where has the time gone?

Five minutes into Washington, and the first person she called was Jack.

Why? A part of her ( Read more... )

Title: Duct-Tape Fixable
Rating: PG
Pairing: Sam & Jack
Summary: Patch the pieces back together: lines of fragmented code, shards of alien technology, and the heart wanting only to belong.

Author's Note: This was an idea that I never managed to follow through on, one of the ones that hit me out of nowhere and then left just as quickly. Therefore I only ( Read more... )

It was eerie, like looking in a mirror; every hair, every freckle, every scar and oft-chewed-upon nail exactly the same. Carbon copy, duplicate, replica, twin, whatever you wanted to call it…

All he knew was that there were two Carters staring at each other, and it was beyond weird.

To tell the truth, it was down right creepy.

Yeah, sure, they’d ( Read more... )
