This was superbly written, and your descriptions were done beautifully and efficiently. Finally, something new and refreshing in the stargate fandom!:) I really enjoyed this story, thank you!
Oh, this was lovely. I don't even watch Stargate, but now I want to - your descriptions of them were that good. (I do know enough about the show to know I'd probably ship these two if I ever got into it!)
Wow, that's quite a compliment - you should SO watch Stargate! It's so much fun and the characters are absolutely incredible. I love that (maybe thanks to the show being aired originally on Showtime) the characters were given room to grow and the stories just got better and better. I really think you'd like it. I'm more than halfway through a whole series rewatch at the moment and I've fallen in love with the show all over again!
I think I would like it, if I ever had the time to sit down and watch it! I admit I'm a bit daunted by the sheer amount of it - what is it, nine seasons?
These are very much the O'Neill and Carter we know, just in different circumstances. It was interesting to watch faithful (and Jack would absolutely be faithful) Jack O'Neill deal with his inescapable attraction to Carter as a married man - by lying to himself - a tactic which he would despise if he caught anyone else at it. But then I suppose that is why he would. Too uncomfortably familiar.
I'd love to have a glimpse at how that first briefing in COTG would warp and change in this universe. He'd know she was a general's daughter, but also that she is brave and resourceful enough to have earned her way on her own merits. He'd be starting with an admiration of more than just her looks and quick rejoinders. And she would be starting out with a new CO that she deeply trusts.
My favorite line was the one about Heaven help her if she found a fishing pole and made the spot permanent., although I suspect that if that were to happen, it is he that would really be in trouble!
Oh, jeez, your comment has gone and encouraged another plot bunny to root around in my head! :) I think it would be interesting to see how that initial meeting would have been different if something like this had happened between them. I'm not quite sure how I can pull off writing it... but I have to say, now I'm wondering and trying to come up with ideas.
I think that line took about two hours to come up with! I brainstormed with a friend of mine who has also been on a writing kick and spitting out different ideas finally led to fishing and how it would fit in nicely given what we know about Jack!
