A month or so after Daniel’s question, Carter and Teal’c, while not being overwhelmingly obvious about the fact that they were screwing each other, weren’t completely discreet, either. And that was fine as far as Jack was concerned. This, their new home, was very much not the way things used to be; they had what they had and if Carter and Teal’c had each other now, after not seeming interested before, then that was perfectly fine, even if it would have shocked Jack to no end back at the SGC.

Jack did want to confirm, however, so he privately asked Carter about it. Which actually ended up as him stammering something that may have been related to the words “sex” and “Teal’c”. To which Carter replied, among other carefully worded and non-offended or offensive sounding things, that the bickering that Daniel and Jack were engaging in on a daily basis as a poor attempt at dealing with their mutual feelings for each other gave her headaches and she really liked Teal’c’s calming presence and she really, really could not, at this time, imagine having sex with Jack.

Sam was more observant about his feelings than he’d always hoped she’d be, and for a moment, it scared him very badly. Years of repression don’t just vanish overnight, even if, over that night, you have been turned into a non-military affiliated robot.

But then Jack then thought “to hell with it all” and went to go find, and hopefully fuck, the man he loved.

But it didn’t go well.

Jack hadn’t counted on Daniel needing finesse, although he thought in retrospect that he probably should have assumed. Daniel ended up storming out, offended, and Jack’s inability to talk about his feelings meant things didn’t get any better.

Carter and Teal’c moved into a room on an edge of the complex that was more private and comfortable: a bedroom, for lack of a better term.

Jack discovered that Harlan’s annoyance was apparently still limitless, and he wondered if after thousands of years he’d get like that, too.

Jack unburied the gate approximately eight minutes after Carter said she had finished the portable power pack she had been working on in secret.
