If the blog looks very Spoons Heavy at the moment, that's because it is, they're currently eating my brain sdaljg;lfsdjg. Don't worry, my other children will eat my brain soon sgjsdkfg

CURRENTLY UPDATING FIC(S)

The Spoons Saga:

A massive rewrite of Stargate SG1 from season 3, all the way to the end or whenever I run out of steam, whichever comes first. The whole thing is outlined through season 10, so hopefully I don't crash and burn.

A New Normal: part three of the Spoons Saga, relationships come together and the longer-term impacts of the alternate universe come start coming into play

The Long Way Home (Author's commentary): Buying myself time to write more of part four and fix the beginning of part three my yapping about my own fic for a few weeks sadgjs;fgj

Something Strange and Almost Kind:

After they return from Abydos, Jack brings a grieving Spoons to dinner at the behest of Sara. Now retired and no longer suicidal, Jack decides he's going to step up for Sara and hope beyond hope that it's not too little, too late.

Spoons, devastated by Daniel choosing to stay on Abydos for reasons she cannot articulate, is surprised by how much kindness the O'Neills show her.

Sara, for her part, is just relieved that, despite all evidence that Jack was not supposed to come home on that last mission, he's back in arms reach and seems determined to stay.

Fucked-up, insecure, neurotic, and emotional, the three of them work their way back towards the land of the living together just in-time for Anubis to dial Earth on that fateful day.

Current For Fun project, sporadic up-dates

COMING SOON

Who hurt Spoons?

by far the person who has had the absolute worst impact on Spoons life is their mom. everything about their relationship with their mom is so fraught and so unresolved.

nancy faulkner could not stand even a little bit how weird and odd her child was and how hard it was to get spoons to fall in line and she especially could not stand how well Spoons connected to robert, a man who should, by rights, hate spoons as evidence of infidelity. she took spoons in the divorce because she didn't want robert to have her and wanted him to suffer and she figured spoons was young enough for it to be fine. and then her next husband hated kids, so nancy sent her to a boarding school because hey, she'll be taken care of there and just genuinely did not think about spoons again until she got a call from the principal that spoons got into a fight with an older boy.

and then nancy came to pick her up because she needed to and she saw her small, angry, bruised daughter and learns the spoons did not pick a fight with a boy, she fought off a boy and for once in her life, she was a really good mom. she pulled spoons out of school, got her self defense lessons and told spoons "no one touches you without your permission ever again," and for a few months there, was present in her daughters life. she showed up and got to know her and taught her the skills she had, like how to put on makeup and things weren't perfect, but it was better.

the third husband was not much of an improvement on the second and nancy backslid and ignored that spoons needed medical attention because she was on her honeymoon and didn't want to deal with it and then spoons almost died! and spoons just. never saw her again. she has no idea what happened to her mom.

she woke up in the hospital and her dad was there and she just. never got a resolution. never got to talk to her mother and find out why she did what she did for any of it. which spoons ended up just kinda burying for a very long time until she looked in the mirror while possessed by a Goa'uld and she saw her mother.

she dyed her hair blue pretty soon after

Sam rocks back and forth on her feet where she is crouched down, eyes pressed to her knees, clipboard held in one hand. She keeps telling herself she just needs to finish inventory and then she can go home. Sam doesn't blame George for being forced into retirement, but she wishes almost anyone else had been hired to replace him. The first thing Bauer did was mess up everyone's schedule. She never worked 10 days in a row with George.

She flips her head to the side when she sees the door open and relaxes when she sees it's just Jack. "Are you supposed to be back here? Didn't you get fired?"

"Daniel called and said Bill called out. I figured I'd come pick you up." He sits down cross-legged next to her and rubs her back.

"You sure you want to sit on that floor?"

"I'll burn these pants when we get home."

Sam snuffles out a watery laugh. She holds onto the clipboard when Jack tries to take it from her. "I got it."

"You sure? We can just make up numbers that seem right, it's not like Bauer would notice."

"Yeah, I got it. I don't want to fuck over tomorrow. Doing it badly now would just make more work for me in the future. Get out of here before you get into trouble."

"Okay." Jack leans down and presses a quick peck to her cheek. "I'll be waiting in the car. I'm parked at the gas station."

Sam takes a shuddering breath in. "Okay. Can you ask T to take my bike home for me?"

Jack smiles at her. "Already did. Keys are in your jacket?"

Sam nods. Jack gives her a hug before he heads out. She counts to ten before standing up again, feet throbbing as she puts her full weight on them once again. She's been in here long enough to get properly cold, something she normally tries to avoid. She wipes the tears from her eyes and gets back to counting. When she's done, she leaves the completed sheet in Bauer's office. She asks Walter if he needs any help finishing close, but he waives her off and tells her to go home. She thanks him and clocks out.

She pulls off her apron and stuffs it into her bag before pulling on her jacket and making her way outside. It's cold and dark out and she can see the heavy breath she takes to fortify herself for the walk across the street. At least she doesn't need to get herself home.

The walk sign clicks on and she shoves herself off the pole of the traffic light to trudge over to Jack's waiting car. It's warm when she slides in, warmer than Jack normally keeps it. He hands her a cup off coffee and a slice of pizza. They're as bad as she knows they're going to be, but after the day she's had, they could be ambrosia from the gods.
