sg_15_fics. 5/10/08. A slightly new take on this idea, I’m hoping. It has slightly more angst than any other WoO fics I’ve read.
“Sir? Could I talk with you a moment?”
Jack paused in the hall and looked up at her. “Sure, Carter. What do you want to talk about?”
She pressed her lips together, waved him into the closest room, and she shut the door behind them. “The time loop, sir,” she explained. “It’s been bugging me.”
“Carter?”
“It’s just that…what happened? What did you do while looping? I’ve been wondering all day.” She smiled sheepishly and ran a hand through her hair.
“Ahh, Carter. The time loops, huh? Good times. Good times.” He returned the smile.
“Oh yeah?”
“Yup.”
“I thought you were sick of them.”
”I was, am, sick of them. And fruit loops. But we had some fun times, Teal’c and I did.” He paused to stare dreamily into space, recalling just what they’d done.
“We played golf through the Stargate,” he began. “Must’ve broken every record there is in regard to distance.”
“Funny, sir,” she smiled.
“I taught Teal’c to juggle. I learned after much time how to master the art that is pottery. And as you already know, Teal’c and I learned Latin. Oh yeah. And I quit the SGC,” he finished with a small sigh.
“You quit? Why?”
“You asked me ‘why’ then, too,” he said.
Her face scrunched up in confusion.
“I didn’t quit because I wanted to…well, quit,” he explained. “It left…other things open, to be explored.” He ran a finger over his lips pointedly and stared at her lips as he spoke.
A glimmer of understanding came into her expression. “Things best left unsaid now by any chance?”
His smile widened. It became more crooked.
“Oh!” she said. “Okay.”
She studied him for a moment as he relived that moment, that loop, in his mind.
“I wish I could remember it,” she told him with a frown.
His smile faded slightly and his expression grew sombre. He looked her in the eyes and ran his tongue across his lips.
“I wish you could too,” he said. “I really do.”
