Sometime in high school I started to have a dream/nightmare about being too late for an important exam. Then in one day when I was in grad school, a close friend of mine had a grand mal seizure just before I was due to leave the teaching assistants' room to take a vitally important exam. Her seizures were located in the temporal lobe, which meant that after the seizures were over, not only was she exausted and a little "vague", but sometimes it brought behavioral changes and extreme disorientation. Once she thought she was back in England as her father lay dying, and she went around asking people for "a few pence" for the train home, and came to herself in a part town she'd never seen before, with no idea how to get home. With peed pants to add to the fun (a common side effect of grand mal seizures). Several times it made her uncharacteristically lewd and lascivious with strangers. Clearly she could not be left alone. So I made up my mind to miss the exam and beg the prof's indulgence after the fact, but at the last minute the

lol. :) I'm glad you liked it. I hadta do the happy at the end, even though I didn't write the wedding part. To go through the wedding process would have felt like over doing it, and it's been done. We know how weddings go. I could have done a brief reception scene or something, but like I said, there were some things my muse just refused to do. XP

Re: wedding scene. I prefered it that way. I've read so many of those, and very few of them come off well. Most folks seem to want to break away from the traditional vows and have them say something deeply meaningful and heartfelt, and that just always comes off wrong. They spend umpty-ump years not-saying (except with the eyesecks) and all of a sudden they are going to go all goey and romantic in public As a favorite fic I read puts it "Jack O'Neill? Without benefit of sodium pentethol?" And then there are the folks who want to unite Sam Carter (In an interview Amanda Tapping read Sam's dog tags. They say RC for Roman Catholic.) and Jack O'Neill (Irish much?) in a PRAYse-the-LAWD!-PRAYse-Him! Baptist ceremony, because that is what they know. What with him being a divorced man of Catholic heritage and all I find it highly likely that there will be only a few select guests, a Justice of the Peace from the town closest to his cabin, and a

"I find it highly likely that there will be only a few select guests, a Justice of the Peace from the town closest to his cabin, and a quick minimalist ceremony, followed by a lot of Guiness, charred meat, and fond reminiscence.

Goodness! This is a lovely end to an epic story. It was so nice to see it all work out, despite Jack's difficulties. Love the Happily Ever After way it ended.

Great job on your massive labor of love.
