Why This Must Be Read: Sweet but not sappy, in perfect Jack-voice, here is a happy friendship ficlet, with bonus teamy goodness and Jack's Washington version of Walter, as General O'Neill shows up in Colorado to help celebrate Sam's promotion to full-bird Colonel. Absolutely guaranteed to leave you smiling!
Edit: I am so sorry for messing up the link twice. It should be working now. Hopefully.
Make no mistake about it, Jack O’Neill would have been delighted to harm someone, and just at that moment, he wasn’t feeling very particular as to whom. After a very busy four months with plenty of late nights and working weekends, he had finally allowed himself to take a long weekend to recharge his batteries, only to spend most of it on his cell phone speaking to I.O.C. members. The French member had come down with a particularly virulent strain of Atlantis-induced collywobbles, and had managed to pass it to all the other members in turn, and a long weekend that was supposed to be spent with pizza, Guinness, and all manner of televised sports was instead spent wandering from one end of his townhouse to the other as he tried to keep each delegate from meddling in matters that they seemed intent on making exponentially more difficult.
Now it was Tuesday, and the eternal paperwork factory was about to suck him in again, and he did not want to go gently, not gently at all. Major Andrews, his assistant, catching the General bearing down on him through the open outer office door, sighed and carefully chose the middle one of a trio of shiny steel travel mugs. Most days the General took his coffee black, but today clearly plenty of cream and sugar was clearly needed.
