Considering distantskies with an AU Sam

[talks_too_much]

You can't be serious? You're going to create an AU account for the sole purpose of apping to this game and saying I'm married to General O'Neill?

Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds? And how against regulations that is?

[Sorry Sam, you won't be in the Air Force anymore.]

What?? No, absolutely not! My work is important, and so are my responsibilities to SG-1. I realize than Daniel is a civilian member with the team but I'm not sure they'd let me keep working as if I was still a member of the Air Force. Do you have any idea how long I worked to get to this point in my life?

No, of course you do. Or you wouldn't be so deliriously excited about this.

You had better be sure before you do this.

I'm just going to...[He looks at her, curiously] married?

[Not that he has anything against the idea]

Kinda skipping a couple steps. Can't see you not being part of the Air Force.

[talks_too_much]

[Cough. And avoid eye contact.] Yeah, married. She figures it would happen maybe two or three years after my fathers death.

[Neither does she really. Who knows if General Hammond or General Landry would see this. This mun happens to know someone who plays Hammond.]

I can't either, I spent over twenty years in the Air Force.

[fishesandfights]

[He moves closer, just in case anyone might overhear]

Yeeeah. That's...that's pretty close to what mine was figuring. That after Anubis we just...[He shrugged] y'know, stopped waiting. Then after the Ori thing...

[He rolled his eyes.]

Sounds stupid talking about it like this. Anyways, after that, I retired, we made it all official. Before then, nobody really cared. What with, y'know, saving the universe for a living. Call it a perk.

[He looked around again, just to be sure]

I, uh, popped the question at Christmas. Jut so you know. [Because, really, he's got a hard-to-access soft spot, but it's a mile wide under all the armour]

[talks_too_much]

[She's liking this closer thing.]

After everything we'd done, I don't think they'd have dared try to court martial us.

[She smiles at the Christmas proposal.]

At Christmas, really? That's the best present I could hope for, for Christmas and my birthday.

[fishesandfights]

There was a hat. [He shrugs] Food was pretty good, too. I cooked.

[He looks behind him for a moment]

Yeah, mine is giving me a push in your direction. Or more correctly a shove. He's a, and I quote, "big fan of the two of you".

[A slight pause]

Not that I mind the shove, given the direction...

[hi_there_aliens]

After everything that we've been through since the program started, getting married to Jack would be the weirdest thing to you?

Well. Actually...

[seeing as how it's Jack]

[talks_too_much]

It would probably be the most normal, actually. Which I can't say I ever expected.

[hi_there_aliens]

So weird it's crossed the event horizon into normal.

[talks_too_much]

[Laughing.]

That's a good way to put it.

[valaunbound]

I was a bridesmaid right?

[talks_too_much]

Maid of honor, actually.

[valaunbound]

I take it that's even more important. I mean it has the word 'honor' in it so...

[talks_too_much]

You're right, it is. The Maid of Honor is usually the bride's closest friend.

[hammond_of_texas]

...

[ That's so against regulations indeed. But, seriously, can't say he didn't see it coming. And if that makes them happy... ]

If I remember correctly the mission reports, you were a civilian married to Colonel O'Neill in at least two alternate universes. But in spite of your condition, you were still taking an active part in the Stargate Program.

[ He's not saying he approves, ok. But- He can't say that the idea is far-fetched either. ]

[talks_too_much]

[Not that Hammond would report it if they did, right?]

At least two, yes sir. Probably a few more, as well.

[That certainly SOUNDS like approval.]

[hammond_of_texas]

( Indeed, he's not Maybourne. ]

So why are you worried? I doubt your mundane would ruin your life. While they may sometime be cruel, mundane tend to be attached to their muses and respect them.

[ ... He has a duty. He cannot express himself openly on those matters. ]

[talks_too_much]

[Maybourne sucks. Just sayin'.]

I suppose you're right, sir. It's just not something I expected of her, to twist my life around to fit that kind of scenario.

[Who says he can't now?]

[embracinghighschool]

Marrying the original, Carter? Sweet.

[talks_too_much]

[Blink. Stare for a moment.]

That's the idea, yeah. I'm a little skeptical of how it'll work but I'm not complaining.

[embracinghighschool]

I wouldn't. Man, I wouldn't if I was...[Ahem.] Still fighting those snakes then?

[talks_too_much]

Actually, we've mostly taken care of them by my canon-point. There's still some problems on occasion.

[chewie]

Congratulations. [Right to the point, yup.]

[talks_too_much]

Thanks, Ronon.

[Is everybody going to focus on the marriage portion? Even though that's the whole point. Is no one going to ask how her day is or something?]

[chewie]

Funny way to get married, though. [Sateda doesn't have these strict military rules about relationships.]

[talks_too_much]

[Earth regulations could be strange. She was still wondering why personnel involved in the Stargate Program weren't given a bit of leniency.]

At least I can stay with the program.
