Prompt me with gen Mitchell prompts!

[fignewton]

I'm kinda nervous about this one, as I've only written Cameron Mitchell once or twice before. So let's hope I get him right.

Prompt me with gen prompts for Cameron Mitchell drabbles! No promises of first come first served, but I hope to do twelve drabbles all together.

Why Mitchell wanted to be on SG-1 in the first place.

OR

The fallout from "Talion"

[fignewton]

Long past midnight, after everyone left, Mitchell slipped into the infirmary.

"Colonel Mitchell," Teal'c said, his eyes still closed.

"Teal'c." Mitchell sat down. "I just need to know -- we gonna be okay?"

Teal'c opened his eyes then, looking calm. "You are not the first Tau'ri I have known to receive official orders he disliked, yet still obeyed," he observed.

"Oh." Mitchell thought of mission reports he'd read about Maybourne and Makepeace. "Well... good."

"Also," Teal'c added, "I thrashed you. Thoroughly."

"Yeah." Mitchell smiled wryly as he shifted, wincing at the stabbing pain from face and hand. "Sure can't forget that."

OH YEAH

::grins:: Glad you liked it!

Mitchell, Daniel, Vala and the "limited gene pool."

[fignewton]

Cam is baffled by Vala's mocking observation about "limited gene pools." Other than their blue eyes and hair color, he and Jackson aren't alike at all -- especially with Jackson's current scruffy look, which Cam suspects might be less due to absentmindedness about shaving than a deliberate statement of Jackson's civilian status.

Later, Jackson observes that most Goa'uld worlds are populated by descendants of the Arabian peninsula, with some Greek and Chinese antecedents thrown in for good measure. For Vala, light-colored hair and eyes would be unusual enough to warrant comment.

Privately, Cam thinks that Vala just enjoys the teasing.

[gategremlyn]

Daniel the anthropologist and Cam the pragmatist dealing with Vala. Yep, that's how it would work.
Thank you!

[fignewton]

Ha, yes - Daniel looking for culture reasons, Cam noting the Vala ones. :)

How Cam met Sam

[fignewton]

Unofficial contests can turn cheerfully competitive or just plain intense. Eyeing the blonde cadet who was his only remaining opponent, Cam was glad that she was meeting his grin with her own sincere smile.

Cam won by a hair. They'd both made new records; his was just that little bit better. She accepted her defeat with good grace, only the glint in her eyes promising that next time they met, she would win.

"Nice shooting," he complimented her, holding out his hand. "I'm Cam Mitchell, by the way."

"Samantha Carter." Her handshake was firm, friendly. "My friends call me Sam."

[sid]

I love this! This is them. Striving to be the best and respecting the competition and taking pleasure in it all. *huggles young Sam'n'Cam*

[fignewton]

So glad it read well for you, thanks!

Mitchell and Carter, speeding tickets.

Cam, macaroons

[fignewton]

Once, Cam makes the mistake of mentioning "comfort food" to Jackson. After ten minutes of animated discourse about sociological and psychological implications associated with childhood memories and translating that into understanding other cultures, Cam finds himself backing away, smiling fixedly.

But he knows Jackson's right. For Cam, macaroons evoke warmth and hugs, oddly mixed with the scent of Gramma's hairspray. Why macaroons rather than Mom's fabulous pie? Cam doesn't know; he just accepts it.

He offers macaroons to Sam, once. They don't work for her -- different associations. He's deeply touched when she remembers, though, and brings him macaroons in turn.
