Stargate SG-1 cast photo, signatures removed :) as requested by @purplejellosg1 <3

All done in Photoshop, with extensive brush work and clone stamping. I also took the liberty of touching up the colors too since the original photo was pretty overexposed and weirdly colored (the green BDUs looked purple).

@starrybouquet Same!

So far, I’m at the “it happened in season eight” stage. After leaving Maybourne, sometime interrupted the gate, Sam and Jack are sent to an actual ice planet (has to be, can’t be earths second stargate unless time travel is involved)...

And then there’s angst and snuggling and shippiness ahoy and she dumps P*** as soon as they make it home because of course she does.

*day dreams*

Okay, but have you ever thought about Solitudes happening in a later season? Like in 4, 5, 6, 7 or even 8 if Jack went off-world?

Just think about the shippiness, the angstiness, the amazingness of it all.

Sam being desperate to save him, frustrated and scared that she’s going to lose him on this goddamn ice planet without any hope of getting home.

Jack trying to comfort her but sharing that frustration and the fear that he’s going to leave her alone.

Imagine them cuddling up together, knowing it’s the first and last time. Knowing the someday and the silent promises they’ve been making each other for years isn’t going to happen.

The sidearm comment, way more loaded than it was in S1. (Pun not really intended but hehehehe)

It’s Sam’s name Jack says, not Sara’s, his voice full of regret and love and everything he hasn’t been free to say.

Then Sam’s response, anguished and tearful and utterly heart-breaking. “I’m here, Jack.” Because she is there, she’s at his side and will stay there till her dying breath, because there’s nowhere else she can be, no one else she’d rather be with.

And then they’re rescued, but the tension is heightened, the knowledge of just how damn close they both actually came to dying lingering in every glance, every touch… 

8, 14, 22 for the fanfic asks? 🤗

Thank you :)

8. What’s the biggest “challenge” for you as a writer?

Focusing on one thing at a time! I’ve got too many ideas in my head and am struggling to focus on just one of them at the moment, which makes it hard to write anything!

14. What’s your favorite character/person to write for?

Sam. Sam is my favourite, followed very very closely by Jack. I just love trying to get into her head. Don’t think I succeed 95% of the time because she’s such a complex character, but I love writing her so very much.

22. A fanfiction cliché you can’t help but love?

I’ve already given one, but there’s no limit to my love of cliches! Another cliche I love is the ‘just the two of us lost on an alien world’ cliche. I cannot get enough of reading those fics!

11, 18, 29 for the fanfic asks? :) (I thought about putting the collaboration one as a joke too :D)

Thank you for the asks :)

11. Is writing your passion or just a fun hobby?

Writing fanfic is a fun hobby; writing original stuff is my passion.

18. Do you use any tools, like worksheets or outlines?

Too many! I think in trying to be organised, I just end up confusing myself! I’ve got a folder full of resources, and I use two programmes for writing - Write or Die and Plottr. 

29. If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?

Oooooooh. Now. This is a hard question. I don’t know, to be absolutely honest. I appreciate each fanfic writers unique style and take on situations; I don’t think I’d be brave enough to attempt writing in any of their universes. That said, if anyone wants to take over In Pursuit of Normal, I’d be open to it!

As for collaborations... *grin* I feel favourably towards them!

7, 9, 27 for the OTP asks? 😊

Thank you @starrybouquet :)

7) Who said “I love you” first? and who ends their arguments in a fight with “Because I love you”? 

Jack. He got in there first because Sam struggled, initially, to get the words out. She finds it easier now they’ve been together for a while, adding a ‘love you’ to the end of phone calls that sounds casual to anyone who overhears but Jack knows how long/far it’s taken to get to that point so is thrilled every time.

He’s also the one who ends arguments with ‘because I love you’, though Sam will often roll her eyes and say it to him when he’s bemoaning the fact he’s older than she is and why would she want to be saddled with him when she could have her pick. 

9) Who wakes the other up in the middle of the night to tell them a cool dream they had? Who has the most nightmares, and who sings them back to sleep after?

If Jack wakes up from a cool dream, he just has to share it with Sam - usually because she’s in it. Sam’s more likely to wake up and hastily scribble some calculation down before she forgets it.

At first, Jack has the most nightmares, though not as many now he has Sam beside him. She doesn’t sing him to sleep but will cuddle into him and hum Twinkle Twinkle Little Star like her Mom used to when she was little and that’ll help him go back to a dreamless sleep. The longer Sam serves in a command position, the worse her nightmares get. Jack holds her while she cries, soothing her with his hand rubbing small circles on her back.

27) Who orders take out at two in a morning? and who wakes the other up at three in the morning to go downstairs with them to get a glass of water because it’s too dark?

They’re both equally likely to order takeout at two in the morning, usually after an evening of stargazing where time slips away from them and they realise they’ve not eaten in hours.

Sam will often wake up for a glass of water and, if for whatever reason she needs to go downstairs, she’ll try and do it without waking him because he’ll often sleepily insist on going with her ‘just in case’. 

Thank you again!! :)
