holdouttrout | Holiday Party, SG-1 Style!

First of all, thank you to everyone who submitted prompts--yes, this is very fast turnaround, but I wanted to give people time before Christmas day to start writing.

Now that we have prompts, and they've been more or less organized (and wow to people who have done this before, and with more prompts), it's time to write!

You have a couple of different options:

1) Write comment fic and post it here.
2) Write longer fic and post a link to it here.

You should, in the subject line, indicate your pairing, prompt, and rating, like so: "Jack/Sara, technology, R."

There were a lot of single-character prompts, or prompts where there were a few characters specified, but without it being a pairing--these I'm assuming are open to any and all pairings, unless otherwise stated. I'm also assuming that any and all pairing prompts could be friendship fic instead. The muse goeth where it willeth, after all, and you never know when your smut scene is going to turn into a gen adventure fic that involves research of mythology and biology. /grumping

I'll hold this post open until New Year's Day.

You can direct questions to me here, so this post can be all sorts of fic goodness.

Onto the prompts!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Daniel cracked one eye open warily. “Oh.” He mashed his face back into the pillow. “Why did I drink so much eggnog?”

“Too much eggnog explains the headache,” commented a hoarse voice from the other side of the bed. “But I’ve got another question.”

Daniel opened both eyes and rolled over, groaning involuntarily. He peered at Cam myopically. “You don’t remember last night?” he asked, dreading the answer.

“Hell, yes, I remember last night. A few of the details might be a little foggy, but I’m not about to forget.”

The two men exchanged a look that left Daniel feeling warm down to his toes, but Cam didn’t touch him and looked away, back up towards the ceiling, frowning.

“So, um, what’s the… is there a problem?”

“Yeah.” Cam pointed up. “How did that get there?”

Daniel squinted.

“Oh, glasses,” Cam said, retrieving them from the nightstand and passing them to Daniel.

Daniel put them on and looked up with no idea of what he was going to see. He stared. “Mistletoe?”

“Mistletoe,” Cam confirmed grimly.

“And obviously you didn’t put it there.”

“I did not.”

“So that leaves….”

“Sam, Teal’c and Vala.”

They exchanged a look. “Vala,” they agreed.

“So,” Daniel said slowly, “she snuck in here sometime during the party and hung mistletoe over your bed.”

“And as scary as that prospect is, with the whole question hangin’ in the air of what the hell she might have been planning, and I do not want to contemplate that with a hangover the size of Cheyenne Mountain,” Cam clutched at his head dramatically, “it’s not nearly as scary as the idea that she came back after the party, broke into my apartment, and hung that thing up there….”

“While we were sound asleep.” Daniel felt a stabbing pain behind his left eyeball, and his eyelid began to twitch.

Cam snorted. “Passed out, more like.”

They lay there, contemplating the mistletoe and the parameters of their problem. Cam’s hand found Daniel’s, and they clung to each other.

“Would she do that?” Cam asked plaintively.

“This is Vala we’re talking about,” Daniel reminded him. “Anything’s possible.”

The shrilling of Cam’s telephone made them both yelp, and when he held it up so they could read the caller ID, they both groaned. Cam cleared his throat and pushed the button for speaker phone. “Morning.”

“Good morning, darling. Did you boys sleep well? Is Daniel up yet, or is that a rude question?”

“Oh, we’re screwed,” Daniel said faintly.

“Well, I assumed, darling, but I wouldn’t want to pry.”

The telephone shattered quite satisfactorily when Cam hurled it against the wall.

Haha, Vala is the best enabler! That was fun.

Glad you enjoyed! (It was almost going to be Sam, but I came to my senses - hee!)

Oh, Vala. Hee. Very funny.

She's a minx, that one. *nods*

:-D

LOL, so totally a Vala thing to do *nods*

LUVS! *pounces*

:-D

Merry Christmas, dear!

Thanks!

Doomed, even. ;-)

I'm glad you liked it!

*dies laughing*

that Vala! she is so wonderful

pssst...too much eggnog does horribly evil things to your tummy, too! all that rich, eggy milk...

We've been using soy milk in ours for a few years now. Maybe that's their recipe, too? But with like six times the booze? :-D

Very cute! Willing to bet that 'Muscles' held her up there too. :oD

Hee! She'd enjoy that!

So cute!

Oh, I love Vala in this. Heeee! Too funny.

“Would she do that?” Cam asked plaintively.

Poor, naive Cam.

This was adorable!

I like this snippet a lot. It's in my "short fic re-read feel good" folder. And I love to re-read it. Sweet and funny. I love their dialogue, and Vala of course. :)
