SG-1 - Worth It
So... Anyone else kinda giggle at the fact a teenager from Cheyenne Mountain High School placed second (by only 0.17 points) in the US Figure Skating Championships held in Saint Paul, MN?
Yeah, I'm a geek. Also, for the Alphagate group, if we post too many off topic posts, we tend to write "Alphagrams" - short little tidbits of stories and such. I may have possibly went off topic more than once this week. As such, I wrote the following:
Title: Worth It
Genre: SG-1, Jack/Daniel, fluff
Season/Spoilers: Long past the end of the series
Rating: PG
Synopsis: Too short for one
Disclaimer: I don't own them, people with a lot of money do. I'm just borrowing them to play and making no money from this.
~~~~~~~~~~
Many years later, long after General Jack O'Neill retires and returns to Colorado to set up house with one Doctor Daniel Jackson, they are sitting in a cold ice arena far from home, sipping bad hot chocolate and worse instant coffee. Bundled beneath the layers warming his aging bones, Jack sits back and watches the skaters take the ice for their warm ups. He thinks of the delicate little girl Sam brought back needing a home after the rest of her village was wiped out. He thinks of having absolutely no excuse to say no to the opportunity of having a family - a real, honest to god, two parents and a child, loving family - once more. He thinks of how he introduced her to the ice, hoping she would develop a love of hockey to rival his own, and he thinks of how, much like her other father, she decided to be independent and went for figure skating instead.
At least it involves ice, he tells himself.
He thinks of her long hours of determined practice, her single minded focus that she once again got from her other dad, and the playful look in her eye she got solely from him. He thinks about all of this as he watches her land her final series of complex, whirly jumps that he knows he should know the names of, but never managed to learn. And as her face breaks into a shining, joyous grin, he thinks, "Yeah, it was worth it."
End.
