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! :)

Early season seven. Sam/Daniel friendship
Word Count: 264
It’s taken me the best part of two months but I’ve finally learned to give him his space. Leaping to hug him automatically, I’ve discovered, is the worst thing you can do. Colonel O’Neill got a sock in the jaw for hugging a not-expecting-it Daniel. Which led to a magnificent bruise and remorseful, stammering apologies, the like of which I haven’t seen in nearly seven years.
It’s an awful lot like piloting an aircraft you’d grown so familiar with over the years, only to have the manufacturers whip out a new-and allegedly improved-model and expect you to ooh and aah over the changes. But after your initial enthusiasm, you realize that none of the buttons are where they’re supposed to be and suddenly, it’s like flying a completely different ship because the pieces no longer fit.
The expression of disbelief hasn’t changed all that much over the years. You can just see it better now because he hasn’t quite got the veiled look back in his repertoire.
“How many?” He asks, his arms firmly wrapped around himself, as if no one knows how to comfort him but him.
“Twenty-seven at first. Counting off-world languages, you’re over thirty now.”
Fear and frustration emanate in equal waves. “How can I not remember? Any of it?”
I walk over to him slowly, clenched hands at my side, although they are itching to wrap around him. “It’ll come back, Daniel. It will.”
I hope, I add silently.
M is for Mint Julep
Jack/Daniel friendship
Word Count: 257
M is for Mint Julep
Jack took a big drink and promptly spit it back out. “What the hell is this?”
“It’s a mint julep, Jack. They’re traditional drinks at the Derby.” Daniel frowned at him. “You don’t like it?”
“I think it’s a waste of perfectly good whiskey.” Jack poured the remainder of his drink down the sink and replaced it with straight whiskey. “Are you sure you made it right?”
“Well, I couldn’t exactly get all the ingredients right.” Daniel sipped his with a hopeful look that quickly turned into a frown of his own. “Do you think it’s supposed to taste like that?”
“See, I told you. Here, have some whiskey.” Daniel followed his lead and switched his drink for plain whiskey. “Just out of curiosity, what is the recipe?”
“You have to have cold spring water.”
“Colorado Springs. Plenty of fresh water around here.”
“Well, I didn’t exactly know where any springs were so I used distilled water. I didn’t have a sterling silver cup to mix it in or a sterling silver spoon to crush the mint with so I used a glass and a metal spoon. And I couldn’t fine the specific kind of sugar so I just used, you know, regular sugar.”
“Cheer up, Daniel, at least you got the whiskey right. We’d better go rescue Teal’c. Last I heard, Carter was trying to explain stud service to Teal’c.”
Daniel jumped up, then darted back for the whiskey bottle. “Oh, this I’ve got to hear.”
Daniel Alphabet Soup - F is for Friendship
“What is it?” Jack asks, holding the piece of card away from him, pinched between two fingers like it’s something he’d rather fling away.
“It is a card,” Teal’c intones, with all the gravity Jack has gotten used to over the initial few months. Sometimes, just sometimes, Jack thinks maybe Teal’c is having them all on.
“I can see that,” Jack says, sounding a little exasperated and finally holding the card properly. It has tulips on it.
Dear God.
“I am just following your custom of celebrating a relationship with a card.”
“What relationship?” Jack asks, getting very nervous by now and deciding to tackle one confusing thing about the sentence just uttered at a time.
“I and Daniel Jackson are friends. I believe we have reached a place where he no longer thinks of me as…” Right at that moment Teal’c actually grimaces and Jack thinks that maybe it’s the first real expression he’s seen on the other man’s face.
Jack feels like a heel, well and truly.
“Sure, sure,” he says, nodding. “So, what did you want me to do?”
“Help me with the message,” Teal’c says, holding out a pen. “There is an inscription in the card but it is far too generic.”
Jack nods again and then stops because Teal’c is looking at him with his eyes narrowing. “Okay, alright,” he finally says and squares his shoulders. “But for this, I need cake, and maybe Carter.”
“Indeed.”
Re: L is for Loss of Language
Yeah. An apt metaphor for descended Daniel, I think.
Great Sam POV. Lovely fic.

Re: Daniel Alphabet Soup - F is for Friendship
Hah! Just wait, Jack - you'll soon discover that it's always.
Poor Teal'c, trying to get it right.
::hugs all four of them::

And while I don't think there's anyone in LJland who hasn't read it yet, I'm honored to have it linked to Gen Fic Day! :)
H is for Heliopolis and J is for Jack
Before he finishes tumbling down the ramp, Daniel knows he'll never stop dreaming about it. Yes, the sputtering of the failing gate was terrifying, and yes, Jack was probably right to drag him through it, and yes, three of the four alien languages are beyond his comprehension for the moment—but those runes, and the promise of an alien Rosetta stone, and that universal language—
For a moment all was delineated with that clarity he has had only once before, standing in front of that first event horizon—for that one perfect moment, everything else in all the worlds went away. Former losses, fresh ones, the kinds that still had the power to make his chest seize in the middle of the night—all paled and faded into silence in the face of such possibility.
Daniel knows he will be seeing those glowing atoms rotating above his head for the rest of his life, surely as if he had remained forever on Heliopolis in their silent company.
J- Jack
Funny, Daniel muses, how an instant can have such an impact on an entire life.
Daniel knows all about instants: instants in which ropes give way and stone falls, instants in which a career-making presentation turns into an emptying hall of laughing, pitying peers, instants in which the glory of the whole world is outshone by the wondrous shimmer of a gateway to the stars.
Somehow, he's gotten the impression that Colonel O'Neill knows all about instants, too. How they mark a man indelibly, make a father into a mourner, make a soldier into a shell.
Some instants make a nuisance into a friend.
The staff weapon primes as they struggle on their knees before Ra.
Funny how an instant can last so long when you're trying to save the life of a friend you didn't have an instant before.
Jack, Daniel thinks. And he jumps.
Re: I can haz self-pimp nao?
But there must be a few people I haven't managed to nag into reading it yet ... *g*
Re: Daniel Alphabet Soup - F is for Friendship
*grin* Classic.
I love the scene in Cor-Ai where Daniel so emphatically claims Teal'c as a friend--nice to think this preceded or immediately followed that scene.
