Snow Drabble 5

"What's it doing outside?" called Jack restlessly from bed.

Daniel, with a cup of hot chocolate in each hand, took a detour from kitchen to bedroom to pass by the large glass windows in the living room. He started to reply, but a tickle in his nose delayed it. "ahhh-Chihhh!" He sniffed, relieved he hadn't spilled. "Remember P9X-274?" Daniel called back.

Jack smiled at the memory. "Sure. White sand beaches, average temperature of eighty-five, bright sun, cloudless sky."

"Well," Daniel paused in the doorway to the bedroom and leaned on a doorjamb. "Well, it's nothing like that. Think about the surface of P3R-118. Snow, ice, and fierce wind as far as the eye can see."

Jack groaned and Daniel laughed. Jack opened his eyes, glaring at Daniel. "What's so funny?"

Daniel shrugged and headed over. He sat down on the bed and waited for Jack to sit up before handing over one of the cups. "It's just that I've never known you to be so depressed about a vacation."

Rolling his eyes and rubbing the bridge of his nose with thumb and forefinger, "Well, this is hardly fishing up north. This is snowed in and stuck inside. The satellite's out, the beer's gone, and I can't even enjoy you properly because of your cold. How is your cold, by the way?"

Daniel shrugged again as he drank. Nothing went so well with a snowstorm as hot chocolate, but as the former continued, supplies of the latter were dwindling. "Do you remember how I was back on PK4-89?"

"Was that where you were so sick you couldn't leave base camp and Teal'c had to carry you back to the gate? Or was that the one where your nose was stuffed-up, you mistranslated a few words, and we found ourselves at gunpoint?"

"Neither," Daniel said. "The one where I had a cold and needed to go back earlier than planned."

Jack sighed and spoke with sarcasm. "Don't know how I could have forgotten that. So eventful."

"Ahhh-ahhh-TSchhhhhhh!"

Offhandedly, "Bless."

"Thanks." Daniel reached for the box of tissues on the nightstand.

"So… any guesses about when the snow will stop?"

Daniel shrugged. "Remember PQ5-9747?"

Another groan, though this one accompanied by a chuckle. "How long are you going to communicate in planet references?"

Daniel gulped down the last of his hot chocolate and fell back upon the bed. "As long as we're unable to get back to work."

With a sigh, "Bored too, are you?" He set his cup aside as well, and pulled Daniel closer. His hand slid beneath the black shirt, feeling warmth and making him smile. "Too bad we can't do anything about that."

"Who says we can't?" Daniel sniffled and rubbed at his nose. He slid his glasses off. "Sure I have a bit of a cold. But don't you remember P4X-640?"

Jack paused in thought as Daniel skillfully undid Jack's belt with one hand. "Was that the one…?"

Grinning, Daniel nodded and slid his hand into Jack's jeans.

LOL!! Too cute! I adore the constant references to missions by the planetary codes (though don't they all have exactly six characters, 3 before and 3 after the dash? I don't remember any episodes where that pattern doesn't hold true, though I haven't seen many recent episodes, so maybe I just missed them...but anyway, it's of no real consequence for enjoyment of this ficlet) and the end had me giggling so madly I think I spooked my cat! How I wish that those particular missions had made it into episodes on the Sci-Fi channel! *G*

[tarotgal]

First... yay! Glad it made you laugh. I definitely giggled my way through writing it :-)

As for the planetary codes... there are a bunch of lists out there. The one I use most frequently is: http://www.xecu.net/fantasy/sg/sgplanets.html
Just to be sure I reference the right place and don't make up ones that already exist. And by skimming the list you can see a few that do have 4-digit endings. Though, by and large, the majority are indeed 3 and 3 (as are most of the ones in my fic). So, yeah, hope that helps you feel less nervous about canon-bending here :-) And I'm glad you liked the constant referring to missions by the planet codes... poor Daniel has to have something fun to to work his brain a little, after all :-)

OOh! I never even thought of searching for online directories of the planets they've visited, though now that I think about it, the existence of such lists doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Thanks for the link! *scrambles off to have a look, like the geek I am* :)

Aww! I love the situation; J/D, hot chocolate, sneezy Daniel and snow? So cute. :) Daniel using planetary references because he's bored is just too cute, and the banter is wonderfully IC for these two. Very sweet, and yay! such a nice surprise to find J/D sneezefic on my flist. :D

[iff]

LOL! Wheeeeee! I lurve sniffly, glasses-wearing Daniel! Thank you!

"How long are you going to communicate in planet references?"
As long as it makes the readers giggle insanely? Until you put his mouth to better use? ^____________^

YAY!!! cute, sniffly Daniel. *snuggle*

I loved that! References to planets via code was a very cute touch!

Thanks
