title: Arborvitae
series: Stargate SG-1
rating: PG
word count: ~7,500
notes: for missparker, who is lovely and let me play with this line from Desperation: or Carter’s being a woman set into motion some asinine chain of events that ended with Teal’c having to carry her around a sacred tree nine times before they could gate home.
Thanks to adventurepants for what I would ( Read more... )

Oh boy. Well, I have told you about my feelings on this plenty of times, but now I get to say it out in public on the completed fic and that is pretty special. Basically, I think you are wonderful, and you did such an amazing job with Sam's reaction to the situation, and I LOVE WHEN YOU MAKE TEAL'C SAY WORDS AND DO THINGS, BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS 100% GREAT. What's that, oh, it's just Sam and Teal'c rolling up in the feelings train to make my heart swell up really giantly until it almost bursts out of my chest.

And to conclude: SAAAAAAAAAAAAM.

Gosh, I sure do you love you, lady. Thank you so much for all your help and your constant reassurances, they meant the world to me. And I love that you love when I make Teal'c say words because that's my favorite.

Sam and Teal'c, man. Friggin' feelings train conductors.

sdfghjkl I hope you know how hard I just laughed.

Well you are the most welcome and you know I will be your official fic reader for all time.

AND GOOD THAT WAS THE INTENTION.

OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD THIS IS THE BEST THING I'VE READ IN AGES. ASDHFLKDSHFLKSDJHFDSLKJHF! I could picture all of it in my head SO CLEARLY! (like I got so absorbed I forgot it was a fic) Oh my god TEAL'C. HE IS SO PERFECT. The scene in the cave alsdjhfsjklhfsljdkfhs. I could quote the whole thing, it is FLAWLESS. And the end, "I do not doubt your ability to do so", OH MY GOSH you write their friendship so flawlessly. I LOVE THEMMMM. And “I am not,” he tells her. “You are here.” :') IN CONCLUSION, THIS IS SO AMAZING I CAN'T EVEN. *WORSHIPS YOU*

YOU, OH MY GOODNESS. Get over here, I have a super big hug to envelop you in.

aaahhh, I don't even know how to respond to these glorious glorious words, but needless to say the smile on my face is PRETTY BIG RIGHT NOW. ♥ ♥ ♥

I think what I like best about this isss thaaat you said I wrote their friendship so well, because I think everyone knows by this point just how much I adore them and their relationship. I JUST WANT TO GET IT RIGHT. That's all I want out of life.

Saraaah. I adore you, look at this comment and how it just bursts with feelings and magic.

LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW HARD TEAL'C IS TO WRITE FOR. I don't think I've ever found anything so challenging, just in terms of structure and logistics. It drove me absolutely insane and Kristen had to talk me down from a lot of ledges. The whole time I was like, "uh, I wish this was happening from someone else's perspective because THIS IS SO HARD." But... then it wouldn't be what it is, so.

Nghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. This is the most perfect thing. I have been waiting all day to read this and then I was able to read it now and it made my day a better day. SO SO LOVELY.

Okay. I knew it was going to be perfect from the outset, but as soon as Jack O'Neill said Isn’t that a little redundant?, all my suspicions were confirmed.

I just. Your Teal'c. And Sam. And everything. So many feelings, but they are all good feelings. I'm sorry/I am not. That is something I will never get over ever. And the description of Teal'c running around the tree. I couldn't even. Why are you so perfect?

Okay, I can't even pick the things I liked best because the whole thing is the thing I liked best. So. Yes. But really, and in all seriousness, this was fantastic and thank you so much for sharing it and being amazing and I am running out of words to express the amazingness of this. ♥ ♥ ♥

I'm sorry/I am not. That is something I will never get over ever.

I am just over the moon with how many people are digging this, because it's something that I thought of at the last minute after really struggling with where to go with that part. And I feel like I didn't really think of it; I was in that bizarre pseudo-conscious place where the characters are just kind of saying things all by themselves and you're just along for the ride. You know what I mean? I've seen plenty of other people talk about this so I'm going to stand by it under the assumption that it's not totally weird.

Thank you, darling, for this fabulous comment. You're amazing. ♥

Um, okay. I've talked to some Mario Party and thought my thinky thoughts and I think I'm ready to tell you about some feelings I had while reading this. Okay but first of all, I want to talk about the feelings I have for you. They are plentiful and layered. First of all you wrote Murphy Brown/Mario Kart fanfic once so clearly you are one of the Earth's better inhabitants but I just want to say clearly and unequivocally that I like you a lot and I'm really glad we are computer friends. I'm really glad that instead of unfollowing you on Tumblr I thought it might just be better to watch SG1 so I could understand what it was you were posting about ( ... )

I've talked to some silly K-Pop songs about this and I think I'm ready to tell you how much this comment has maaade my entire existence.

Boy am I glad you took that jump and hung in there through the derpy episodes because I want to ride this rainbow of friendship and dreams with you forever. You know there was a time before SG-1 where I was eeeveer-so-slightly intimidated by you? You were just this enigma I thought I'd never have any hope of cracking. BUT SURPRISE. All it took was a moe little face to unite us.

And if you didn't have Stargate it wouldn't have ever even occurred to me to write sacred trees, so yikes. Yikes.

DID YOU ALSO KNOW, okay. The title is amazeballs in about three different ways. Did you know about the anatomy kind of arbor vitae? It is white matter of the cerebellum that, get this, is responsible for bringing SENSORY AND MOTOR INFORMATION TO/FROM THE CEREBELLUM. ARE YOU EVEN KIDDING ME, WORLD OF MEDICAL SCIENCE. Kristen was all, "Whoever named that cerebellum thing knew you would write this one day. THEY ( ... )
