It's Gen Fic Day!

[fignewton]

Happy birthday, moonshayde!

We're commemorating two years' worth of gen recs over at stargateficrec with SG-1 Gen Fic Day!

Reply to this post with commentfic, drabbles, links to new works or WIPs, and fic recs - anything, as long as it's gen and SG-1.

If you've written a ficlet for Alphabet Soup, include it in the comments here or supply a link to the fic on your own LJ. I'll collate them all into one big Alphabet Soup when we've got Daniel completely defined from A to Z! There are still a few letters left to claim if you want to join in the fun.

This post will remain open for submissions until Thursday morning my time, which is midnight or so on the West Coast in the States.

Write! Post! Comment! Squee! Have fun. :)

ETA: There are still ten hours or so left on the official deadline. It's bedtime in my part of the world, but I wanted to point out there are three letters left for Alphabet Soup: O, R, and Y. If you'd like to take one and help us finish, just leave a comment so that others will know not to claim it.

I'd love to wake up tomorrow morning and find our Alphabet Soup all done! :)

V is for Victory (Part 2 of 3)

He looked at Teal'c and blinked at the Jaffa's sincerity. He sighed. "Jonas talked about me coming back on SG-1. He offered to give up his place."

Teal'c tilted his head and considered this. "What was your response?"

"At the time, that we should talk about it when we weren't thirty seconds away from being discovered by a host of Jaffa."

Teal'c shared his wry smile. "A wise course of action."

"I thought so," he nodded.

"And now?"

He shrugged. " Jonas has made a place for himself here with you. It's not my place to usurp that."

"Mmm." Teal'c considered this. "Jonas Quinn's goal has always been to help his people. " He nodded towards the Langaran delegation. "He has learned much in his time here. And now they talk of him taking a leadership role amongst a new planetary council."

"Really? That-that's great." He blinked in surprise. "I didn't know. I mean, the Kelownans said they'd pardoned him for all past transgressions, and um...the rest of us." He wasn't sure how Teal'c would react to that news. He wasn't quite sure how to react himself. Diplomatically, he continued, "I figure it's a good step. They're realizing how much more there is out there. That infighting amongst themselves is counterproductive."

Teal'c turned from glowering at the Langarans to stare at him again, but said nothing.

Deciding it was best for both of them to change the subject from the bizarre topic of Daniel Jackson's death, he continued with the idea foremost in his mind. "Even if Jonas decides to go back to Langara, that doesn't mean I should replace him. I'm–I think I'm a liability. I shouldn't even be at this party. I only half-remember things, and what I do remember, I have no idea how to live up to. You're the team that does the impossible."

"Much is said of SG-1. Much is embellished." Teal'c responded blandly.

"Really? Not from what I was reading. I'm still trying to live down being a modern day Lazarus. I think some of them expecting me to glow in the dark." He looked down at his hands. "Hasn't happened yet."

"Jonas Quinn informed us that you were the one to crack Anubis's computer codes."

"Well, yeah, but that just...came to me. It was an algorithm of Ancient and Goa'uld and it just..."

Teal'c interrupted. "And after Jonas Quinn's capture, you searched for him."

"Getting lost most of the time," he countered.

Teal'c was unswayed. "You also acted to prevent Anubis from gaining the crystal of naquadria research."

"And almost got myself shot without realizing it. I'm just jumping in without thinking and then I realize maybe I shouldn't be doing this after all."

"Indeed." Teal'c raised an eyebrow. "All impulses and actions I relate to Daniel Jackson, a valued member of SG-1."

"But what if next time I do something that brings down the wrath of these Ascendeds or whatever again? Or make the wrong choice and someone dies or a world is destroyed?" He looked to Teal'c for some kind of answer. "What if I make a mistake?"

"All of us make mistakes, Daniel Jackson." Teal'c's voice was heavy. "We just need to make the best choices we can and try and live with the consequences."
