SG-1 Timestamp Ficlet: Generally Speaking (Jack, all ages)

Dec 29, 2011 16:44

Hah. I am calling my eons-old timestamp meme done after this (but only because a-loquita let me off the hook for one of her prompts way back when). This one was for silerswench's request for something the next day after The Embers Burn On, with Jack making excuses to the politicians he dissed the night before. I ... kind of hit near the prompt, but not exactly ( Read more... )

I LOVE THIS! AND YOU!

Carter talking the heads off generals at BBQs when she was a kid! Still as weird as always! Jack takes being compared to Jacob as a compliment! And this: See, I keep thinking if I pretend I'm not actually one of you, they'll take 'em back.

Hahaha! So perfectly Jack. *smooch* This is the kind of stuff that heals herniated discs, tru fax. ;)

*squish* Thanks!

For a very long time, this particular timestamp consisted of that line and a couple of other sentences and nothing else. I liked it, just couldn't figure out what else to write! Haha.

Well it had better help, anyway! :)

I know, right? I wish we'd gotten to see more of it, since they set up the scenario. But I suppose that is what fic is for!

Thank you!

How delightfully Jack to take that remark as a compliment. It speaks not only to his contrarian nature, but to his deep regard for Jacob.

I loved the glimpse of Little!Carter, already forming up into the Carter Jack knows and loves. Her poor mother was trying to fight/smooth her basic nature! That's a pretty hopeless task, ultimately.

And as to the summons to dinner, Jack would be well advised to remember the words of one of the Catos (I think it was Cato the Elder, but I'm too lazy at this hour to look it up): We rule Rome, Rome rules the world, and who rules us? Our wives!

All the more reason for you to make an honest woman out of her, Jack! I'm betting Karen Pearson doesn't have Level 3 hand-to-hand yet. Carter can take her with one hand tied behind her back.

I am sure he and Jacob respected each other, underneath all the snarkiness. *nods*

Hahaha. Yes, definitely!

Thank you!
