Oh, this is powerful!

Such great choices of ep tags over the seasons. The one to Ascension totally blindsided me and is probably my favorite.

I love their wry exchanges. Here are two of the best:

Teal’c gave O’Neill an imperious lift of an eyebrow. “Master Bra’tac is indeed 133 years old. Perhaps there is some salve to apply to your injured ego?”

Jack wondered if Teal’c was serious or making a joke. He shook his head to clear out that weird thought. “Yup. It’s called ‘beer.’”

(With the followup in S8, natch!)

and

“Teal’c, when I think you’re ready, I’ll teach you how to box. It’s a sport that requires strength, speed, endurance, strategic thinking, fast feet, and a hard head.”

Teal’c eyed O’Neill with some suspicion. “I meet all the qualifications now, O’Neill. Why have you not yet instructed me in this sport?”

“Um, well, truth is, big guy, I’m upping my training so you won’t beat the crap outta me first time out.”

“That is indeed wise, O’Neill.”

Such a nice set of vignettes. Thanks for contributing!

thanks very much! I was thrilled to get the prompt so I could write about their "powerful" friendship.

thank you so much. I had a lot of fun writing that little exchange; did some research to find synonyms to "karma" and the instant I found the lap one, I HAD to have T use it.

What a fantastic job of looking at the natures of these two men, at judgements and consequences, and at a long, very special, friendship. They trust each other as they have trusted no other before. ♥

many thanks. it was hard to write two pretty closed-mouth people and still keep with the spirit of "confidences"; great to know my effort worked.
