Friday Fics Fix - I Make No Excuses


 

'Daniel wasn’t moving. Or making noise of any kind. And if Daniel wasn’t harassing anyone with questions, that was just a bad sign.'



Title: F3. Background: kaleidoscopic patterns



A bit of a different one for you this time - Stargate: SG-1.

This was a sci-fi action/adventure series that ran from '97 to '07. 

I was too young to watch it from the beginning - I'm a millennial, but I'm on the younger side of that - so I mostly caught up with it on re-runs in my teens.



Since it's from the 90s/00s, it is problematic in places - to deny that would be pointless.

Trust me though, compared to other 90s/00s fare, it's pretty damn good.



Anyhow, this is SG-1 fanfiction.

It has Jack and Daniel having a not-great-day. 

...Since they are the resident canon whumpees, that's saying something.


(Fandom notes:

Canon is the 'official' stuff in the film/book/TV series/whatever.

The whumpee (aka woobie, etc.) is the character that always seems to have the worst sh** happen to them, all the goddamn time, often for no reason other than gratuitous angst or episodic plot device.)



...OK, I admit it. This is gratuitous angst and hurt/comfort.

The emo goblin spaghetti brain needed to be fed, OK? I'm not gonna apologise for that 😅


(Fandom notes:

Hurt/Comfort (aka H/C, etc.) is where one or more characters get injured - either emotionally or physically - and comforted by other characters.)



This fic keeps with the period-typical 90s/00s, 100% deniable, 'just good friends/frenemies' homoeroticism between Jack and Daniel.

(Something which my closeted Queer butt clung to subconsciously, not gonna lie. 

...As well as having something of a supressed crush on both Samantha and Vala, because I am both Queer and but a simple mortal woman. 

The idea of Vala and Daniel together is Bisexual catnip, and you can't convince me otherwise.)





...Still, they get to comfort each other through their ordeal in this fic, and isn't that nice? 😅

Again, I make no excuses - I simply blame my emo goblin spaghetti brain.



Content Warnings for this one:

- torture (and a lot of it)

- blood and injury

- being drugged

- hallucinations

- generally buckets of trauma


...I think that's everything, but as always, be careful and don't rely on my memory!




This week's fic, then, is:


Shadow of a Doubt by EdosianOrchids901
