Rating: G
Fandom: Stargate SG-1/Stargate Atlantis
Characters: Cameron Mitchell, John Sheppard
Word Count: 306
Spoilers/Warnings: Set sometime post-series for both. Spoilers galore: many mentions of various incidents.
Summary: Cam and John, enjoying a few beers and a bit of downtime, compare what their respective teams have been through.
It's a drabble that, once in my mind, wouldn't go away. And it made me cackle, so I figured I'd share.
“Getting stuck in the gate.” John tilted his bottle and drained the last of his beer, reaching over to pluck a fresh one from the table.
“Teal'c,” Cam replied, tossing a bottle cap at the trashcan across the room. A small pile of caps had accumulated around the can, proof of the duo's inability to aim by this point in the night.
John contemplated for a moment. “Fake SGC?”
“O'Neill, Sam, and Jackson.”
“Turned into a bug?”
“Teal'c,” Cam replied. “Though he was turning into a whole bunch of bugs instead of just one.”
“Trapped onboard a spaceship that's sinking into the ocean.”
“SG-1: Original flavor, minus Jackson.”
“Floating in space waiting for rescue.”
“Inside a ship or outside?”
“Outside,” John replied, a glimmer of triumph in his eyes.
“Yup.”
“Both?” he asked, incredulous.
“Yup.”
“Alright, I have one for you,” John said, sitting up a bit straighter from his sprawl on the sofa. “Pregnant and kidnapped by aliens who have sinister plans for the baby.”
“Vala.”
“Seriously?”
“Seriously.”
He slumped back down and took a drink. “Mind-meld with an Ancient.”
“Sam.”
“Died and brought back to life—by aliens?”
“Pretty much the entire team.”
“Switching bodies with someone.”
“O'Neill, Jackson, and Teal'c. Oh, and Vala.”
“Sharing of minds?”
“Sam and Jackson. And General O'Neill. Technically Teal'c, too.” Cam frowned. “And Vala.”
“Clones.”
“Robot, replicator, or human?”
John gave him a look. “Really?”
Cam shrugged. “We like having options.”
“Time travel.”
“Who hasn't?”
Both took long drinks from their bottles. John shook his head and tossed his bottle cap across the room.
“We have a weird job.”
“Amen.”
