icarusThis is getting long, so the previous part is here.
The Walls of Jericho - 26 (from part 1 here)
by Icarus
Jack staggered out of the tent, grumbling to himself. His body felt liquified and heavy, and what he really wanted was a beer. And a shower. And eggs for breakfast, with an hour or two to scan the Sunday funnies.
He decided off-world sex was not what it was cracked up to be, not when you had fourth watch at four am, and a long march to look forward to. Worse than mid-week sex – what was he thinking? He blew on his hands, sniffed, then fired up the camp stove to boil some water for coffee.
"Good morning, Colonel O'Neill," Teal'c said, moss crackling underfoot as he reported in from his watch.
Jack peered up at him, and decided against speaking. He nodded faintly.
"Did you have a good rest?" Teal'c asked in a mild voice.
Too mild. Jack gave him a laser-beam stare, instantly suspicious. He paused, glanced down in a poker face.
"No. No, I didn't," he said honestly. Then poured instant crystals into the hot water, and stirred, blowing on his coffee. Took a too-hot sip to stall for time and sighed, staring down at the cup. "Shitty night's sleep in fact." He stayed deeply interested in coffee. Ummm. Coffee.
Teal'c inclined his head, acknowledging the truth of this. That sixth sense of Jack's settled somewhat. He could never, ever, lie to Teal'c. You didn't lie to a guy betrayed by fake gods. It was just… too wrong.
As Teal'c returned to his tent, Jack stared into the embers of the fire, unseeingly.
The next part is here.
Just a little tidbit. You'll get more updates this way.

The cuddling bit does sound nice, but since I'm a creature who needs the comforts, I'd rather cuddle with a warm body in a warm bed. Cold apartment, not so bad. Cold tent, um, no thanks, I'll pass.
You've now convinced to write the next snippet today
:smiles and is gleeful: Ooo, if I'd had known all it took was random fandom bitchiness on my part, well, this thing would have been finished already ~_^

The next part of Jericho is up. Sorry, I had a killer assignment, and the next part started to fight me unexpectedly.
