Five things SG-1 did on Daniel's birthday the year he was Ascended

[randomfreshink.livejournal.com]

1) Jonas went on a mission. He had no idea why SG-12 needed him, but Hammond said it was important, stressed he'd be gone the whole day. Something Jonas needed to learn on Y2K-889, and since Jonas learned fast he was going. Bright-eyed, Jonas grinned, said, "I'm your man." Hammond resisted the urge to tell him, "No, son, you're not." But he kept the words back and thought about how some things you did because of orders. Others you did for your people. And while SG-12 didn't hear the words 'snipe hunt,' they understood the mission, and kept Jonas busy and far from being a reminder of anything to SG-1.

2) Sam Worked. She swears to this day she was trying to extend the range of a transponder beacon. It's just a coincidence that she happened to be working with amplifiled light in the same wavelenghts as those put out by an ascended being, and therefore within range of what they might sense. And no, that wasn't a song it transmitted. Those were random electronic tones generated purely for the purpose of testing--it just happened to sound really, really familiar. That's her report, and she's sticking to it.

3) Teal'c instituted a new self-defense class. Four dislocations, six pulled muscles, two broken bones, and three hours later, Dr. Fraiser closed it down.

4) Jack made an inspection. Air vents. They needed inspection, right? Military equipment and all. So he strolled every level, stopped at every vent, waited. Then he pounced on Siler, asked if there'd been any odd gusts reported. Siler stared at him, eyes wide, gave back a slow, "No, sir," and pretty much looked resigned to another round of alien body swaps. So Jack repeated the tour--and wasn't it just like Daniel to forget his own birthday.

5) Somehow they all ended the day in Daniel's office. Well, it was supposed to be Jonas' office now, but they all swaped guilty glances--or, Sam's was guilty, and Teal'c pretended his wasn't, but Jack tried to put his off as feeling bad because he'd just pocketed the batteries in Jonas' TV remote for use in his own. But they all knew what the others were thinking. Then Jack asked, "Think we should send a card?" Sam gave him a Cheshire Cat smile. Teal'c tilted his head and suggested cake. "Excellent," Jack answered, with a Mr. Burnsian drawl. "But I think we should be the ones to get a wish this year." So they snuck into O'Malleys for cake and a commorative eviction. The wish got answered much later.

These are great - I can't pick just one that I'm especially fond of! Nice work :)

#1- Ah Hammond. How we miss you looking out for us.

#2- I somehow pictured Sam would be the one to pull out the birthday cake and candles, even secretly. This is a very Sam way of doing it. Nice. :)

#3- Ouch. Poor Teal'c.

#4- "and pretty much looked resigned to another round of alien body swaps." Hee. And aw, Jack.

#5- Makes me feel all better.

Thanks.

1. Oh, yeah. They'd have to get rid of Jonas.
2. What a fantastic idea! That Sam is a genius! *nudges you*
3. Violence is never the answer, Teal'c.
4. Aww! (Hee! Siler!)
5. How nostalgic to get evicted from O'Malley's! And I'm so glad they finally did get their (and my) wish. :-)

Yes. And these were great. :)

Fantastic, but painful.

So he strolled every level, stopped at every vent, waited

I can just see Jack doing this, and the disappointment on his face when there's nothing there.

Very nice.

#1: Poor Jonas. He probably figured it out eventually but I don't think he ever understood the shoes he was trying to fill.

#2: Aww.... you go Sam!

#3: On the one hand, I can't see Teal'C doing this and on the other I can.

#4: I love the last line.

#5: Yay, and Teal'C gets to go this time (since he wasn't there when they got kicked out).

All in all a great team look at the loss and love for Daniel.

Team. They talked and decided Daniel wouldn’t want them to mourn-after all, he wasn’t really dead--was he? They decided on a team BBQ. Carter brought photos, they told ‘remember when’ stories. It helped a little, but they decided to never do it again.

Carter. While she was collecting and looking over the photos for the BBQ, Sam was glad she was alone. Because, finally she allowed herself to just give in and cry over the loss of her friend. Her red-rimmed eyes didn’t go unnoticed, but she was grateful they didn’t say anything.

Teal'c. To honor his missing friend, Teal'c spent an extended time in Kel’no’reem, reflecting on his knowledge of Daniel Jackson. When he was finished, he felt reassured that one day, he would return to them.

Jonas. He may have been an official team member, but he wasn’t invited to the BBQ.

Jack. Since Daniel had gone all ‘glowy’, Jack had quit jerking off to fantasies of his best friend; it was just too depressing. Today, he’d been filled with so many good memories of Daniel; he had to make an exception. It was the best orgasm he’d had in months, and it left him shaking. As he slowly recovered, a warm breeze helped cool his naked, overheated skin. Jack smiled.

These are all awesome ways to remember Daniel on his birthday :)

Re: Five things SG-1 did on Daniel's birthday the year he was Ascended

[starglyph.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It was a bit of a downer prompt to do.

Great icon!

Re: Five things SG-1 did on Daniel's birthday the year he was Ascended

[sid]

Ah, terrific! Especially Jack, of course!

I guess Jonas spent the day watching The Weather Channel.

Re: Five things SG-1 did on Daniel's birthday the year he was Ascended

[starglyph.livejournal.com]

Much thanks. (Ha! It sorta bugged me to even have Jonas in the list.)

I had to have something upbeat in there. And who would we rather have up, than Jack?

Re: Five things SG-1 did on Daniel's birthday the year he was Ascended

[sid]

Uh-huh. Yup. Up. *eg*

Re: Five things SG-1 did on Daniel's birthday the year he was Ascended

[starglyph.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. ;-D

Re: Five things SG-1 did on Daniel's birthday the year he was Ascended

[charmedstrange1.livejournal.com]

It's bittersweet how they're all trying *really hard* - esp. this: "It helped a little, but they decided to never do it again."

Awww. Luckily they didn't have to.

*pets SG-1*

Re: Five things SG-1 did on Daniel's birthday the year he was Ascended

Luckily they didn't have to

Yes! But then again, this is Daniel we're talkin' about... :)

thanks

These are all wonderful. And that barbeque must have been painful, and it's probably a good thing that Jonas wasn't invited, because Jack probably would have said something to him that Jack may have regretted later.

I wondered how you are going to get your J/D fix in and you didn't disappoint!

Very nice ficlet.
