Drabble-y thing. J/D Slash

[ankh]

I'm clearing my hard drive (8GB cleared! Hooyah!) and the WIPs are mocking me. I'm going to post any snippets that will never grow up to be fully fledged stories because the other snippets are taking up more of the nest.

S. O. P.
It always started this way:
A mission that held more than the usual amount of trauma, perhaps a near loss of life.
A glance some time between hitting the showers and debriefing, a questioning look from Daniel, an affirmative nod from Jack.
Two beers for Daniel.
Four beers for Jack.
And then -
Daniel lived for 'and then'.
It always started that way - modus operandi
It was how it was - modus vivendi. It could still take his breath away. And they didn't even call it love. They never used that word. Truth be told, they never used words at all. But it was, and was how it should be.
And Daniel saw the nod Colonel Jack O'Neill gave him and knew it would happen tonight.

An adoption service for abandoned plot bunnies. I like that. :-)

I tried posting an unfinished fic in my lj a while back, hoping it would prompt me to finish. Well *that* didn't work.

"There's also the beginnings of a J/D story which I'm rather fond of but became bogged down in mission detail, causing me to look at it, shrug my shoulders and find *anything* else at all to write instead. Which is dumb, because I actually rather like it ..."

LOL. I do that but it usually involves becoming distracted by piles of stuff to sort out rather than writing. elgrey calls it 'cleaning tennis shoes'. :-D
