Disclaimer: Stargate's not mine as I'm sure you all know,

nor do it's characters belong to me.

This kind of writing earns me no dough,

so you get to read my fic for free!

Authors Notes: These two fics are slightly extended versions of the Tel'tac engine room scene in 'The Lost City, Part 2'. They were inspired by the song lyrics below and just begged to be written. Blame it on a perverse need to play with shipper heads a little ;)

Many thanks go to the SG-1 Transcripts Group for providing the exact wording for this particular scene, as I couldn't have written the fic without it. Your hard work is very much appreciated!

And finally, thanks go as always, to dragonlady for the beta. Flames will be used to light Teal'c's candles (not like that! Get your mind outta the gutter, f'cryin' out loud!) whilst constructive feedback and criticism on the other hand, is always gratefully received and appreciated. Enjoy folks!

"I was outspoken, and while my mouth was open,

I missed the moment, I missed the moment.

While I was raging, you were busy bailing,

In the war that we were waging, and the moments we were wasting.

While the chances were escaping, I was holding back."
