All of the SG-1 and S3 SGA episodes have now broadcast on Sci Fi, but it would still be a courtesy to include a subject-line warning for spoilers of any back-half S10/S3 episodes, especially the season finales. Thanks!

4. Cam knew that Sam or Teal’c – probably Sam and Teal’c – would call as soon as they could find a phone, so he pulled just enough strings to make sure that his medical-post would be quick and theirs would run long. SG-1 – O’Neill’s SG-1 – had some kind of check-in system, and whenever something happened, when someone got hurt, at least one of them would be on and off the phone with O’Neill until it was over. Cam didn’t mind, and he usually didn’t get in the way.

But it had been his mission, his command. His responsibility, and when General O’Neill found out that Jackson was MIA, it would be from him. Not that there was shit-all they could do about it, not that they even knew where to start looking for Adria…. Cam shut himself in his office and dialed Washington.

5. “Oh, my God,” Sam had said, “are you still thinking about that?” And then she laughed at him for a very long time and passed him her phone.

General O’Neill screwed with him for about ten minutes, and then finally, finally told Cam what was in mission file 30185 and put to rest months of wondering, endless attempts to pry it out of Sam and Jackson, four attempts to locate the missing file, and one very bizarre phone call to his parents. Who’s his daddy, Cam’s ass.

Ooh, glad I checked for late posts!

Love Jack screwing with Cam's head in 3 and 5, hilarious drunken phone call in #2, love the painstaking description of the business card in #1, and hate #4 in the best possible way, because I hate Cam having to make that call and I hate Jack having to hear it. *meep*

I think Jack would be so -- well, not mean to Cam, exactly -- but he's got to know Cam's got Proving Himself Issues and Jack would so take advantage of that. Just a little. Like initiation!

Very belated thank you! I'm a bit fascinated by the Cam-Jack dynamic, so I couldn't let this one go by un-five-thinged. ;)

lol oh my gosh. Five had me laughing so much. I can see Cam still wondering about that until he is told.

Sam and Daniel were so mean, punkin' him in 200! Poor clueless Cam. I bet it drove him insane. :D

I love these!!!

#2 is my favorite and #5 is just LOL funny! Good stuff...

and I swear, I didn't read this until after I wrote mine - the drinking stuff was purely coincidental. -- and yours is funnier anyway...

Thank you!

I love when people happen to write similar items for five things lists, or there's somehow some crossover in the same part. The cool little coincidences...those are the most fun!

I think you're right! Coincidences can be fun!

Eeep! How the divil did I miss these first time round?
Have much love for the drunken messages, of course (very cleverly done) and #4 just makes me wibble because, well, ::points to icon:: it means half of my OTP is missing.
Great work. :-)) and ::wibbles::
