The risk is that what they get back might look like JD and walk like JD and talk like JD, with JD trapped somewhere behind the snake's eyes, screaming.
Holy crap! No wonder he's so pissed at JD!! *flails*
It's nearly six am and I haven't slept yet, but I saw this and I had to read it! I'm amazed at the depth of emotion (and new emotion) you show in every chapter -- definitely worth ten less minutes of sleep. :D
Thank you! I guess if I'm staying up late to write it, I won't tsk at you staying up late to read it, no matter how much Momma would want you to rest on up. *g*
I was totally stunned by AJ's entrance into the kitchen. That was a brilliant move.
Poor Jack. I guess he better fetch Daniel back from Atlantis, eh?
And frankly, I think JD has way bigger balls (wrote more balls the first time *g*) then Jack ever had. Crank up the angst baby, we're ready for the really tough stuff now.
Thank you! Honestly, I-the-author am a lot more sympathetic to Jack than Cam-the-character, because Jack really is doing a difficult job and doing it well -- he made certain promises and swore certain oaths, and he might have done it back before he truly realized the extent of what he was accepting and what he was giving up, and everything he's done since then has been setting the needs of the many (others) ahead of his own needs. I have a lot of sympathy for that, and for the notion that he knows he's not necessarily going to be happy, but he doesn't have to be, he just has to do it.
Thank you! And yes -- those parallels are killer, and Cam doesn't see them -- because he's so caught up in what's going on and what he's feeling, and he's so attuned to his own perspectives that he's not going to see it. Which is interesting, since he's usually the one to spot things like that ...
I totally think Cam's being way too hard on Jack, too, but I-the-author have a lot more sympathy for Jack than Cam does. And Cam keeps going back and forth wildly on how he thinks of Jack in the first place, but he really doesn't understand, no matter how much he thinks he does, just how much work JD's already put in on things. Nor will he ever, really, because JD will tell him some of what happened in the two years before he showed up on Cam's doorstep, but he'll never tell all of it. And it's weird, because of the two of them, JD's the one who's more openly hostile to Jack -- in a way that both Jack and JD understand, the notion of "I am driving you away for your own good, as an act of mercy, because I know that if you knew the full

Oh, God, yes, and like any extraordinarily good person, he's convinced that he's a miserable sinner. When all this is over, he deserves a week on a beach somewhere. With, you know, the froofy drinks in the coconut shells with umbrellas sticking out of them.
Until then, though, he's going to hold on with tooth and nail, because he will not let this win out over him, and I love him for it. The poor baby.
Oh, ouch. Poor Cameron. And poor O'Neill, I guess - it can't be easy to realise that some part of you is happy when you're not (though possibly less with the comments that you'd erase him if you could to his, you know, partner).
I'm really interested to see JD's plan play out. Please, no snakes in anyone's head!

I cannot make any promises about snakes in heads. I am evil, after all. Mwah ha ha. Ahem.
Seriously, though: thank you :)
