The SG-1 Drabble Collection

Disclaimer: I don't own it, MGM owns it, and they are sitting on their bums rather than doing something productive, like an Atlantis movie.

A/N: Series of drabbles set mostly around smiles and looks throughout the series. I'll post the title of the episode in brackets before the drabble, to avoid anyone accidentally reading spoilers.

Rating: God knows.

Magnified (Nemesis)

She couldn't resist the urge to smile as his face appeared in the magnifying glass before her. He asked what she was doing, and when she replied that she was working, he rolled his eyes and reminded her about the meaning of vacation. Then he did the unthinkable; he invited her to Minnesota for a fishing vacation.

She couldn't believe her ears; he actually said the words, "Just you and me."

Out of practice, she immediately declined and he didn't really push the issue. Jack just shrugged and walked away. Once his footsteps died off, her inner woman practically jump started her out of her seat and before she knew it she was jogging toward his retreating back.

"Sir, wait."

Much to her disappointment, a white flash of light engulfed her would-be vacation partner and then he vanished. Damn, she thought as she rushed off to find General Hammond, just when I was about to say yes.

Green Eyed Monster (One Hundred Days)

Sam almost couldn't believe it when Jack turned on her explanation of their daring rescue and approached the local woman, Lara. She would have had a hard time believing that she would be the competition, if she was honest with herself. In the back of her mind Sam had always believed, behind the looks and the smiles, there was an unspoken commitment. Maybe she was wrong.

"What's wrong with him?"

"I don't think he was expecting to go home again." Daniel said quietly.

Sam watched him embrace Lara and then turned away. She'd worked for three months to build a particle accelerator, only to see him with someone else. In her wildest dreams, she had hoped for a show of excitement, before they were in control of their faculties. A hug maybe, like when he killed Hathor. That was a wonderful, magical moment in the middle of sheer terror. She wanted it to happen again. Desperately.

By the Sea (The Light)

"So, we've got three weeks' vacation in a palace by the beach." Jack said in satisfaction, smirking at her. Sam couldn't help but fall victim to his enthusiasm. He'd wanted her to take a vacation for literally years, and now they were basically trapped in a luxurious palace on another planet. For the next three weeks, earth could cease to matter. Aside from daily check-ins with the general, She, Daniel and Jack were incommunicado with everyone, including the rest of the Air Force. This was the opportunity she'd been waiting for since the Zatarc fiasco with Martouf.

He smiled at her, and she grinned back. With one look at Daniel, who was engulfed in some etchings on a far wall, the two of them set down their weapons and headed for the beach.
