Gah. I will finish this story, I swear. I think we might be about half-way through now. And if you're not reading this because you avoid WIPs, I don't blame you. I'm a bad person.

But here it is, a nice boring, slow-paced chapter to contrast with the fast-paced, interesting ones that came before. (Why doesn't html have a < sarcasm > tag?)

Excerpt:
--
They were in space. They were in space in another galaxy. They were in hyperspace in space in another galaxy. And they were playing a card game with a little boy who had a tail. Sam kept repeating these things to herself, just to make sure she wouldn’t forget that she wasn’t asleep and dreaming about the most incredible tech-toys ever.

Even as she stared, the card-chips in her hand flickered and changed, randomized by the small device in the middle of the playing area. Beside her, the colonel made a disgusted sound. Apparently his winning hand had now become a losing one. Or something. Teal’c, of course, had the perfect poker face. Or sabbacc face. And Lindle always looked gleeful, so how was she to know?

Excerpt:
--
Jack slipped easily into this persona he created for himself. He knew that Daniel was doing the same—only Daniel would believe it, making it real, making himself release everything and be open to new people, new experiences. Daniel was like that.

No, more than “like that”—that was who Daniel was. Always open, trusting, wanting to discover, to learn. Believing all good of the universe until it had been proved to him conclusively that the good wasn’t there, and then still thinking he could find it somewhere.

Well, I guess I'll go ahead and post this story here. It isn't finished, but it's on its way, and it's already closer to 20k words than not. So good, I guess.

Excerpt:
--
Daniel made a shift as if to get up, and Jack reached over Carter and grabbed his jacket. “Oh, no you don’t. No way you’re waltzing up to the front door of that place and starting your ‘peaceful explorers’ bit until we know more about them and the situation. For all we know, these could be the kind who shoot first and never ask questions at all.”

Daniel blinked his baby blues, completely nonplussed. “Actually, I was thinking that you should do it.”

“What, waltz up to the front door?”

“Yes, Jack,” the younger man said with infinite patience. “They’re military. You’re military. Solidarity of the species. I’m sure you’ll get along.”

Rating: PG-13
Category: Crossover, Drama, Action/Adventure, Hurt/Comfort
Pairing: None
Summary: SG-1 gets to go to another galaxy. Yay! Or maybe not so yay, since there are bad guys there, too. And good ones. Yay! Yeah, it’s gonna be another one of those days.
Timeframe: Pre-TPM, late 4th or early 5th season in SG.
Spoilers: Lots of little ones.
Feedback: Yes, please! Criticism is welcome. Unless it’s along the lines of “Star Wars is stupid.” Tell me about typos, please. I know I have them, but not where.
Note: The Star Wars movies don’t exist in this Stargate universe. Slightly non-canonical then, sorry. Also, this title kind of sucks, so I might change it I think of something better. Ideas?
Disclaimer: If you recognize it, I don’t own it. Or him. Lovely hims.
