Nice action-adventure, and I'm so impressed by people who managed to use all three prompts! I had a lot of fun reading this one.

Thank you! It was a fun challenge to play with all three (although by no means required). I had a lot of fun (and hair tearing) writing it, and glad to know it worked.

(P.S. And thanks again for all your advice and help for us to set up this shindig.)

You're welcome! I'm glad it turned out so well.

This is excellent. Loved them naming constellations! :D

Hee. It was fun thinking up fake ones. Thanks!

OK, this is by far my favorite of the ficathon stories! Fantastic action/adventure, really solid and in-character Sam and Jack, wonderful friendship moments. Loved the whole MRE trading conversation, and how you managed to work Daniel and Teal'c in there so well that I almost forgot they weren't actually there. Smart, competent Sam AND Jack (which I love).

And the very last conversation is so cute! Wonderful fic!

Oh my goodness, that's extremely high praise. I'm so glad you found the characters and relationship worked for you. (And yeah, I seem not to be able to resist sticking in at least bits of teamy goodness. Darn my own goofy OTP. ;-) Bad mod!)

At least it's focus was (hopefully) on Jack and Sam. :-D I love their confident competence too.

Thanks again!

Love this! Sam and Jack holding their own and being awesome and not thinking anything of it, really. :-)

Thank you! It was very easy to let them be awesome...it seems to come naturally to them. LOL. Seriously, I'm glad you found the storyline worked.
