I saw the pairing list and hmmed a bit, but the actual story makes sense of the Everyone is Gay set-up. Hiding in plain sight, indeed. :-)

Oh, I'm so pleased! I'm not a fan of "everyone's gay" stories either, so I had to attack the prompt from an angle that worked for me. I'm glad you liked it!

Aw, that was kind of sweet, but sad, to think of the military guys having to worry about that so much...and I thought life as a Cascade police officer was hard.

there was something immensely satisfying about trying to make your lover scream even more desperately than the couple in the next room.

::snicker:: Everything's a pissing match, isn't it? Loved that imagery...

When I was a little girl, my favorite (male) babysitter's boyfriend was a closeted Air Force pilot who loved to fly too much to risk getting kicked out. He was very much on my mind when I had to write Jack and Sheppard's parts here.

Oh, that worked very nicely! Enjoyed it!

Thank you so much! It was fun trying to figure out the dynamic between six vastly different characters.

I've never seen even a single ep of SGA, but it's nice thinking of Jim and Blair and Jack and Daniel getting to be couples "openly" (if only with each other). (Definitely need that paradigm shift.)

And that last line is lovely -- what really matters...

[gardendoor]

Thank you! All three shows have such different dynamics, it was a fun challenge to figure out who would talk to whom and how.
