The Ten Commandments of Fan Fiction

Yay to green_grrl for the link!

I am not writing that Teal'c thing. You do it. Maybe I can get my brother to do an icon, though...

My Little Jaffa

[green-grrl.livejournal.com]

"DanielJackson. I would be pleased to have you visit my quarters when you are through in the Infirmary."

"Sure Teal'c. I'll see you soon."

"I will provide... snacks." The Jaffa nodded farewell to the Doctor. Because of his symbiote he was, as usual, the first released.

After a stop in the commissary, he continued on to his quarters loaded with fruit, chocolate, cookies and coffee. He was fairly certain that given the choices DanielJackson would not be eating the fruit, but wished to provide healthful options should his friend surprise him in his choice of nourishment.

Upon arrival, he arranged the food in an aesthetically pleasing display, then turned his attention to the package that had arrived from Amazon.com while he was off-world. Inside the plain brown wrapper -- addressed to SGC's cover address, attention "Murray" -- his order was indeed suitably gift-wrapped. He nodded approval, and settled down to wait the arrival of his friend.

Daniel entered the room, not put off by the sight of candles and a meditating Jaffa. Teal'c was obviously not deeply into kel no reem, only waiting for his friend's entrance. Sure enough, he opened his eyes and shifted his face into the slight change of expression that meant "smile."

"DanielJackson. Thank you for accepting my invitation."

"My pleasure, always, Teal'c. You got anything on your mind?" Daniel wondered, because usually Teal'c specified he was in the mood to play a game, watch a movie, make plans for an excursion....

Teal'c gestured towards the snacks and Daniel helped himself to cookies and coffee while Teal'c formulated his thoughts. "DanielJackson. I have been meditating on the nature of friendship, and on my relations with my friends here. I was using your internet to research Tau'ri customs and gestures of friendship, and found something which had great meaning to me. I feel that this reflects my feelings towards you."

He handed over the brightly wrapped package.

"Teal'c! You... you bought me a present?" Danile was unbelievably touched. He looked up at his friend, who gave him a nod, encouraging him to open it.

The paper came off, and Daniel found himself holding a piece of colorfully printed cardboard with a yellow plastic pony blister packaged onto it. "My Little Pony. Merriweather," he read. He looked up at Teal'c, a little puzzled.

"This is the manufacturer's literature regarding 'Merriweather' pony," explained Teal'c.

Daniel read:

Merriweather knows how to make rainy days fun - she takes her pals puddle jumping! Splash, splash, splash! Don't forget your rain boots! Ponies are wonderful friends! They love to play together and have exciting adventures. They're also good listeners, and are always ready to help a friend who needs their support. Every year the ponies celebrate their friendships at a magical ball, where one special pony is named Best Friend of the Year!

"DanielJackson, of all humans I know, you are the one who makes rainy days fun. I believe you would be most likely to take me puddle jumping. We have exciting adventures." He paused a moment, then continued, "If we were at a magical ball, I would name you Best Friend of the Year."

Daniel gaped. Teal'c seemed to be serious, but then he always seemed to be serious. He studied Teal'c closely. Nope, he really was serious. Daniel broke the pony out of its plastic prison. "Thank you Teal'c. No one's... no one's ever bought me a My Little Pony before."

Wow - that was really something else. I read this before I read the 10 commandments that inspired it so I had no idea where it was going.

Bloody, freaking brillient!!! And I want to be there when Daniel takes Teal'c puddle jumping. Sweet, sweet, sweet - and believe me normally My Little Ponies give me hives so that's saying a lot!
