( Five Ways Jack Kept His Promise to Show Teal'c His World )

It's that time again - the new five things lists have been unveiled.

Jack's Five Favorite Goa'uld Insults

Jack was jolted awake at oh-dark-thirty by the phone ringing. The landline, which was odd because if there was a middle-of-the-night crisis SGC called his cell phone. “O’Neill,” he muttered, trying to sound conscious.

“Jack.” Woah, hadn’t been expecting that. Sara sounded afraid. “Is there any reason why someone would steal Charlie’s baby teeth ( Read more... )

So, after not being inspired by the lists for a couple of rounds, I wrote two of the latest set of prompts:

Janet and Cassie came over with homemade fudge, and since Cassie was naturally talkative it was less noticeable that Jack couldn’t speak. Cassie had an entertaining take on the inadequacies of her high school physics class and an even more entertaining rendition of Sam’s horrified reactions to said inadequacies.

When that topic was ( Read more... )

Author’s reflection on challenge: I got the hurt/comfort requirement in spades. Water is less present through the whole story, but important in the scene which inspired the story. Escape from hostile aliens happens prior to the real action.
