Five letters (warning for bad words and butchered Italian pretending to be Ancient)lilyleia78December 7 2009, 01:17:57 UTC
1 - Dear Dr. Jackson
Daniel
Hey!
How are things on sunny Abydos these days? I hope married life is treating you better than it did me. Sara rightly decided to leave my sorry ass. Can’t say I blame her; our life was always more secrets than truth by the end and then Charlie…
This is stupid. My therapist A friend suggested I write a letter to work through my feelings on the divorce but not send it. Stupid, right? But hey, who better to write an unsendable (is that a word? Whatever? You’re never seeing this anyway) to than someone who’ll I never see again anyway.
I’m retired now. Spend my days fishing and my nights looking up at the sky searching for Abydos. I’ve no idea why I can’t get it and Skaara and you off my mind. But I hope you’re all well and happy. Take care of that kid, alright. He’s got a troublemaker look about him, and you’re bound to be a terrible influence.

#1 made me shudder for suicidal!Jack, and #3 made me shiver for what's coming soon. I think #4 is Perfect Jack!voice, and the part about Charlie... I'm like, how could he say something like that? Put something like that into the clone's head? But of course he's talking to himself, and the thought is already there. *shivers again*
I adore #6, and I'm so glad you expanded the original prompt to include it. :-)

Charlie - my dearest child. If I could re-live one moment in my life, it would be that instant before you reached for my gun. To be there; to stop you; to yell, to lecture and to hug the stuffing out of you after smacking your wrist. To erase that look of total despair from your mother’s eyes forever.
Janet - my friend. you kept my heart beating, my blood flowing and my nano-what-u-macallits in check forever. You didn’t over rule my objections nearly enuff for my own good. You kept all my secrets.
Mom - you weren’t always wrong.
Laira - How is everything on Edora? The weather okay? Are you keeping the elders in line? Did Garan patch the kayak?
Daniel - I can’t do this anymore. I want you with me for all eternity. I demand you stop traveling to foreign places and sticking you nose in where it don’t belong! No more disappearing and returning all broken and bloody. Absolutely no more saving the world. I mean it.

Laira! Good choice. Jack must have thought about her so often in the weeks and months after he came home.
Aw, but Daniel's the one he'll never stop thinking about. But it's just as well he didn't send the letter. Better to have Daniel think it's his own idea when he finally gives in to Jack's subtle but relentless pressure and settles down. :-)
