Title: "No Chance"

Author: C.S. Williams

Summary: Drabble based on something Sam says when she visits Jack in "2010"

Spoilers: Just "2010"

Pairings: Sam/Jack

Disclaimer: I don't own SG-1, because as any good shipper knows, if we owned it, there'd be no more of this guessing if Sam and Jack were together

A/N: I'm usually much more of an Atlantis fan (minus this last season, maybe…), but I watched 2010 today and couldn't leave this alone. Also, my first attempt at a drabble; man, it's hard to stay within 100 words! I know the 2010 S/J drabble has been done before, but here's my version…


"I haven't had a chance to tell him."

It was then that he knew he'd help her. Had to help her, in fact.

It would take more inventive torture than the vanquished System Lords could ever dream of to get him to admit that's what did it. He was a retired USAF colonel, for crying out loud. It was petty and he knew it.

But…she'd told him but not him. She still trusted him more than him.

It felt like the victory he'd thrown away all those years ago.

Maybe, after all these years…

He hadn't lost her after all.
