Stargate SG-1 Double Drabble: Could Be Worse
Title: Could Be Worse
Fandom: Stargate SG-1
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Daniel Jackson, SG-1.
Rating: PG
Written For: Challenge 390: Amnesty 39 at drabble_weekly, using Challenge 37: It Could Be Worse.
Spoilers/Setting: Prisoners.
Summary: Daniel tries to convince himself things aren’t as bad as they seem.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Stargate SG-1, or the characters.
A/N: Double drabble.
It could be worse, Daniel tells himself. He’s not sure how, but he’s reasonably certain that however bad the situation might be right at this moment, it’s not as bad as it could be.
Okay, he and the rest of SG-1 are trapped on an unknown alien planet, summarily committed to what amounts to a prison colony, without their weapons or their remote transmitters. There’s no DHD, they have no means of powering the gate, and nobody back home knows where they are…
So yes, it’s bad, but they’re together, all four of them, and while there are a lot of decidedly unsavoury characters, criminals of various descriptions, sharing their imprisonment, there aren’t any Goa’uld, so that’s a plus. They’ve been in worse situations, he’s almost sure; he knows he has.
For example, there was the time he was injured by a staff blast and trapped alone on Klorel’s ship as the timer on the C4 charges they’d planted counted down to zero, and he’d come through that okay. It he could survive that, there’s no reason to suppose the team won’t figure out a solution to their current predicament.
They’ll be fine. He just needs to keep believing that.
The End
