5) That creepy dream he had where the remaining Goa'uld infested the Ori and attacked earth as invincible hybrids. He doesn't even know if the Ori can be taken as hosts and he's not going to ask anyone who would know, because then he'd have to tell them he has nightmares about a Goa'uld/Ori apocalypse.

4)Someone at the SGC prostrating before a Prior. It doesn't really matter who. The day that happens, there won't be a tomorrow.

3)General O'Neill returning to the SGC and wanting Cameron's team back. Mostly because he thinks the only one who'd even look at him twice would be Vala.

2)General O'Neill kept SG-1 alive (mostly) for a decade. Cameron doesn't want to be the guy who has any one of them die for real and for good under his leadership. But he knows who it will be, anyway.

1)Losing his legs.

All scary, but especially #5. Oh, that's so creepy! And I think he may be right about #3, but it won't ever happen.

#1 goes back to what the doctors told him after his crash, huh? I wonder what his top five looked like back before he'd ever even heard of the SGC.

Great list! Number 4 is indeed scary and I'm sure number 1 is a personal fear for Cameron [but because he doesn't think he is as strong as his father is].

the remaining Goa'uld infested the Ori and attacked earth as invincible hybrids</i? ::shudders:: That would be the creepiest thing ever. And #2- well, I wouldn't want to be the one to have to tell Jack that Daniel's dead, for good, for real, either. Wonderful list!

1) That he’ll have to call O’Neill one day and tell him one of his team was killed while on his watch.

2) That Daniel and Vala will start sleeping together and mess up the team dynamic.

3) That Daniel and Vala won’t start sleeping with each other, because if something doesn’t give soon with those two, Cam’s going to shoot somebody.

4) That Vala will die on a mission. He doesn’t think that Daniel will be able to cope with that at all well and Cam will have to figure out how pick up the pieces.

5) That he’ll lose his pants again, except this time won’t be lucky enough to keep his underwear on.

He's totally got Daniel and Vala on his mind, LOL! Wonder what the deep psychological significance of that is. ;-)

#5? Bring it on! Please!

From: [identity profile] whisper99.livejournal.com


I can't imagine *not* having Daniel & Vala on the brain if I had to work with them every day. :)

#5? Hehehe...I'm thinking somebody else ought to do that one ;)

From: [identity profile] chillin13.livejournal.com


Ha! Love the juxtaposition of Daniel and Vala that they should/shouldn't [#s 2 & 3].
and #5... hee.

From: [identity profile] whisper99.livejournal.com


for #2 & 3, poor Cam can't win. I think he's just going to have to sleep with them *both* in order to get it out of *his* system :)

From: [identity profile] chillin13.livejournal.com


HA! Now there's a fanfiction waiting to be written!!!

...or maybe it already had been... hmmmm...

From: [identity profile] whimsicalwhims.livejournal.com


That he’ll have to call O’Neill one day and tell him one of his team was killed while on his watch.

I don't think that the universe is big enough for Cam to hide if that ever did happen.

Lovely list!

Isn't that the truth? I'm sure Jack never intended for Mitchell to head up SG1 or even *be* on the same team as SG1. He knew they were all going on their separate ways so, I doubt that Jack had any idea Mitchell would succeed in getting the gang back together. I betcha Jack was not at all happy...except he would have been happy about Daniel not going off to Atlantis :)

Cam's five biggest fears


1) Losing his pants. Okay--so it's happened. Exactly twice--well, three times if you count the thousand times washed Levi 501's that ripped in high school just like his Nana said they would, right across the ass so his left cheek was hanging and he had to lose them and wear gym shorts the rest of the day. But there's that James Bond line he can't get out of his head about twice being supicious. It's kicked up some paranoia. He tells himself no way can it be an Asgard plot--and, please God, make it so they don't have hypersensative hearing in those pinhole ears, and aren't carrying a grudge about that crack he made about expectin' pants when he met them. But it's a little freaky how wide Sam's smile get each time he's half naked. And she's pretty tight these days with Hermiod.

2) Losing Sam. He'd rather loose the pants. Hell, he'd rather lose anything. Except maybe SG-1. But Sam's so much a part of that that, the way he figures, you lose one, you lose the other. And the rest of the world's not gonna be far behind.

3) Losing Daniel. Sure, everyone's done it. O'Neill more than once. No one brings up any of those times, though, because the guy also got Jackson back. But Sam sure as hell lost Daniel to her Lego-block self. And Teal'c--okay, stuck there, 'cause Teal'c has never been careless like that, not with Jackson. But Teal'c also never had to order the guy around in the field. And he is the guy who lost Jackson his wife. Forever. About every other officer tagged with the guy has managed to screw this up, get the guy killed or MIA or ready for the first civilian Purple Heart. No way does Cam want to be the one who draws the duty when Jackson runs out of his get-out-of-death free cards. So he's just gonna be extra careful with the man.

4) Losing Teal'c's respect. He's busted his balls--and a few bones, not all of them his--to earn one of those 'you are cool as well' head inclines. It won't take much to blow it. Which is why the fear that his pants going one too many times will leave him nothing but a dumb-ass Jaffa joke. And loosing Sam or Daniel would not only zero anything he's earned, but it'd end with something so far from respect that he doesn't ever want to know. But if he looses either of those two, he'll go looking for Teal'c. Because he'll deserve whatever's coming.

5) Having someone say, "You're no O'Neill." He wakes from nightmares with those word echoing. It's dumb. Of course he's not that guy. But someday someone's gonna call him on it, gonna spill the truth they all know, and he's not sure what the team's gonna think. He's not even sure he's hiding it all that well from them. Trouble is, his Jonesing to lead SG-1 outweights any fear. But if Vala ever says it, he is not gonna be responsible for what happens.

Re: Cam's five biggest fears


#4: YES. Same for #5, but I can especially see #4 as Cam's worst fear.
sid: (Cam/Teal'c)

Re: Cam's five biggest fears


#4 is my favorite. I guess he doesn't expect to lose Teal'c in the field. Hell, Teal'c goes MIA, too! Not as often as Daniel, of course. ;-)

And, it would be a sad, sad thing if Vala told him he was no Jack O'Neill. :-D

Re: Cam's five biggest fears


Good list. I agree that one of Mitchell's biggest fears is losing one of his team and/or their respect.

Re: Cam's five biggest fears


These are all great. I really like how you've shown just how much Cam wants the rest of SG-1's respect and how much he worries about screwing up and costing them their lives.

Ack! I screwed up! I had written 4 of the 5, couldn't think of a 5th, then time got away. To add a 5th now will just be plagarizing from a previous list [and I can't believe I didn't think of the 'losing his pants' angle!], but I'll post my 4 out of 5 for what it's worth:

1.
“Snakes! Why does it always have to be snakes?” Mitchell asked the refrigerator, mimicking the scene of the movie playing in the living room while he gathered the next round of beer.

“Scared of snakes?” Daniel asked as Mitchell settled back in his chair.

“Nah. Not scared of anything that crawls or slithers.”

“How about ‘hops’?” Sam suggested teasingly.

“Unpausing the movie now…” Mitchell said, grabbing the remote.

“Hops?” Teal’c prodded.

“I hate Easter,” Mitchell mumbled.


2.
Mitchell woke up sweating, that familiar white hot ball of fear lying heavy in his stomach.

“Same dream?” his Academy roommate asked.

“Yeah,” Mitchell answered, breathing heavily.

“Want to talk about it?”

“No, I’m fine. Go back to sleep.”

Mitchell rolled over to face the wall. He could never talk about that dream. The one where he was in a wheelchair like his father.

He didn’t think he could be as strong as his father had been.


3.
Carter and Jackson were pinned down by the artillery halfway up the hill. The ship on top of the hill was firing up its engines, ready to take off with Teal’c to a place they would probably never get to to save him in time. This was going to hell in a handbasket quick. Mitchell looked around. This was his team and they relied on him and he wasn’t going to let them down. He looked over to the colonel near him and saw him nod and knew what he had to do. Mitchell charged the hill. He would not let them down. SG-1 would not be lost under his command.


4.
Mitchell was sitting on the sofa holding the wrinkled hand of his aging grandmother. She tired easily, but her mind was still sharp.

“What’s bothering you, boy?” she asked.

“Nothing. Everything’s fine,” he assured her.

“Don’t lie to me because I’m old,” she scolded. “You can’t tell me anything that my Bible and my God haven’t prepared me for.”

That’s what scares me, he thought. If the Ori came to Earth and met people like his grandmother… people so sure of their own God that nothing could persuade them to pretend otherwise - even to stall for time… He didn’t want to think of the consequences.

“I’m just worried that Mom will dry out the turkey again,” he said, giving her a kiss on her cheek.

These are great. I'm glad you went ahead and posted anyways.

#4- woah. Earth wouldn't even have a chance.

#2- I think that fear is probably the only thing that gave Cam the strength to walk again.

From: [identity profile] chillin13.livejournal.com


#4 - Yeah, I imagine Cam's grandma is pretty fierce!
#2 - I'm sure he gained strength from his father's strength.

Thanks for replying!

1 is funny, and I love 4. I know some people like Cam's grandmother that might even be able to sway a Prior, lol.

Thanks! Hmmm, I think the SGC needs to look into putting the Grandma Patrol on the Priors' tails!

Glad you posted what you had! Enjoyed these, and loved #4.
