Yes! You left them in the Green Room! They climbed out through a window and found their way to my lj.
But you can have them back! Now Jack's loose in Atlantis, he could bump into all kinds of people. I just hope John can introduce him to showers first. Quite how you'd datestamp it is a problem for another day...
Jack likes the idea of a next time with his shiny new officer
Oh, lord, please let there be a next time, ill-advised or no! I have tears in my eyes from laughing, a much needed thing at present, currently, here in the future, today *g*
Jack is so delightfully twisty and slippery and gorgeously opportunistic here, and John is all soldierly and smart and sweetly lustful, and I needs more. Please. Cracktastic perfection ♥
I'm glad you liked--it cheered me up too, writing it. But if you want more you'll have to either twist artaxastra's arm or do it yourself. I think it needs a story or two from and SGA character's pov, which I don't think I can write. I'd love to read John's side of things though... or see Jack meet Ronon...
Maybe when viva_gloria gets back from holiday, she'll take the boys for a spin.
I'm happy you liked. And yes, Tall Ship Tales. Though I think Jack's seen a few supernatural storms in his time. I'm not sure anything's prepared him for showers though...
As I've said above. I can't see me writing more of this--for a while anyhow. But I'd love to see someone else take it and run with it. :)

OMG JS/JS!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is absolutely delicious and had me snorting and spluttering in an attempt not to wake up B or Oz. There are so many good lines!
sluiced through a tube like a gob of baccy down the scuppers and a worrying lack of flourish and Bugger. Now he has to think of something lawful that starts with P. (typical Jack, thinking out loud and mouth somewhat ahead of brain) and the whole astrology thing, ha! (though I reckon Sheppard's a Scorpio, full of dark secrets and dodgy perversions: USAF)
“You’re from Earth. From the past.” “I like to think of it as the present.” I love Jack's equanimity here!
“Welcome to the future!” and I can so hear Sheppard saying this, with a smirk and one of those demented nonchalant shrugs.
John’s hands are future-soft, but strong, and he knows how to use them. Perhaps he has been practising?

Thank you! I'm glad you liked your wicked monkey present.
sluiced through a tube like a gob of baccy down the scuppers Do you have any idea how hard it was to avoid anachronistic plumbing metaphors?
My knowledge of astrology is limited and mostly drawn from a rather odd translation job I did years ago. (Capricorn: the sign most likely to buy bottled sauce.) So I'll take your word for John being a Scorpio. Although--John and bugs?
Right. My turn to offer ill-advice. JS/JS/JS: you know you want to...

The boys in the Green Room -- they've been getting at you! How unfair of them!
This is adorable. Just absolutely adorable. And Jack has the perfect perspective here, his total dancing on the edge of a cliff charm!
Oh my oh my! I wish there were tons more!

the flooding stops, faster than a supernatural storm (and Jack’s seen a few of those).
Love the call back to your Tall Ship Tales.
Yes, more of Sparrow in this future would be highly desireable. viva_gloria needs to have more birthdays!

Anyway: is fab! Thank you, darling!
