She shakes him a little. “You know that because you’re one of them.”

He does know it. He does, because he’s lived through bloody battles and harbored guilt and second-guessed his actions, all under the bright blue Tau’ri sky. Because he still keeps his SG-1 patch in his jacket pocket to remind him, right above his heart.

Wow.

This is fantastic. I'm sorry we didn't see that confrontation between Jonas and Sam because they were so close, and that blind lashing out in hurt can be so awful. But oh, this is good. I love Jonas' very fragility and the sheer inanity of Vala's chatter as a sort of healing lather, washing away the pain. And their unique perspective on SG-1, as well as their own dealings with the Ori (which feels so real it's almost like canon to me already!) - just wonderful.

There was a whole other fic there for sure. I remember being excited that this story would finally give me a chance to write something without Sam in it at all, but then, oops, Jonas and Sam were best bros! Sigh. As far as burdens go, this one wasn't so bad, though.

Thank you for this lovely comment, and for running this thon! I'm glad I got to participate. :)

Remember when you wrote me picnic fic? <3

gingasaur August 26 2011, 03:05:23 UTC

I surely do. <3 <3

Oh, this is lovely. I've always had a secret thing for Jonas and Vala together because after everything they really would have so much in common, and this just brings it all together. Oh, Jonas.

Thank you. :)

Oh, Jonas. “You became that person to survive.” He has always been a survivor-but not just a survivor. He still has his conscience, or he wouldn't mind what he did. And he makes things better.

gingasaur August 29 2011, 06:06:52 UTC

Exactly. He's just so good inside, I can hardly even handle it.
