I predict that within moments he will have wedding cake rubbed all over his body....

[brainofck]

*snorts* See, he looks so serious and tired, I figured Jack was getting married to someone else. :D

[brainofck]

Yes, this picture is on my LJ friends page right now, not behind a cut, and I'm thinking it is a nice addition to the landscape.

I figured it was just a little champagne headache. ;-)

Noooooooo...that cannot happen!...*g*...


He's just overwhelmed that at last it's happened....I think he's just pinching himself that the old silver haired coote finally made an honest man of him!...

:D I see there are no angst queens in THIS crowd! :D

[sid]

Hey, if he was sobbing his heart out we'd tell you those were tears of joy!

[brainofck]

Hmmm. Maybe he's your Ab Power Daniel, back from an event...

[discodiva76]

Oh yeah...I'll buy that one...and he's just about to go "visit" Jack...*snerk*...

Actually, in the vanilla!kink ficlet, AP!Daniel was feeling very domestic. I very nearly went in the direction of him giving Jack a ring and a big speech about how Jack could save the world by making Dictator!Daniel a happier, better man.

That's kind of exactly the predatory, albeit tired, look he'd be giving his bridegroom. *eg*

the angst queen was occupied earlier today. Having seen this, and his serious mode, my mind is already conjuring up the appropriate storyline :)

"If he doesn't finish settling up with the caterers in the next 30 seconds I'm dragging him out by the ear."

No angsting allowed! :DDD

*two thumbs up* :-D

and so he is...

Catholic wedding, and that was a surprise. Daniel idly wondered what had been in it for Sara to grant that prenuptial gift. And why the bride even cared.

Apparently, a lot can happen in 18 mos when you’re not around. People give up. People move on. Daniel stood in the doorway of the suite, listening to the running water as the woman sang. He watched the man on the bed for a full minute before clearing his throat.

Jack lifted his head up from the bed and squinted at Daniel.

“Wondered when you were going to show up,” he quipped dryly.

“Well, you know me. Weddings, funerals, special events...” Daniel fired back.

“Missed a few of those.” Jack rubbed a hand across his eyes and looked at Daniel again, mildly surprised to find him still there. His shoulders slumped, he was too old for this shit. He almost said it, but it seemed too cliche.

“Lovely ceremony, by the way,” Daniel said.

“I see you dressed for the occasion,” Jack said, motioning to the tux. Daniel pulled his tie loose, popping the top button and arching his neck to escape the formality.

“What the hell happened out there? Where’s the Hammond?” he asked Daniel, patting the edge of the bed in invitation.

“Funny thing about that...” Daniel sat down weightlessly, not really answering the question.

He was staring at the rhinestone barrettes on the bedside table. Jack picked them up, rolling them in his palm.

“Where’s Sam?” Jack asked quietly.

“I wasn’t on the bridge!” Daniel burst out, eyes blazing. Jack sat perfectly still, waiting as Daniel clenched and unclenched his hands in anguish until he calmed.

“I was asleep in my quarters. And then I wasn’t,” he said softly.

“Sleeping or...,” Jack let the words drift.

“Or,” Daniel said wryly. “Ask me your questions, I have no answers,” he laughed sharply.

The shower stopped and both men turned towards the closed door at the scraping sound of metallic rings sliding along the bar.

“I should go,” Daniel said, standing and smoothing his pants.

“Come again?” Jack asked.

“Well, if you insist!” said the towel-clad woman with a playful grin, walking right through him.

Daniel smiled and shook his head, heading for the door. He glanced back as the towel dropped, dark, wet hair snaking down her back as she wrapped herself around her husband. Maybe this was all the answer he needed.
