Daniel wasn’t a workaholic, no matter what Jack might think, it was just that work was more interesting than anything else he had going in his life. He didn’t have anyone to go home to, not even much in the way of friends outside the SGC, but now he was stuck with forty-eight hours downtime between missions, and this time General Hammond had put his foot down, insisting that all members of SG-1 should go home…

 
Teal’c had gone to visit Rya’c, Sam had plans with Jacob, Jack would probably find something to do at home, and Daniel found himself reluctant to return to his empty apartment. These days he slept there, but that was about it. The rest of the time, he spent at work, where there was always something to keep him occupied. Keeping busy meant he didn’t have to think about Sha’re and all he’d lost with her death.
 

“Forty-eight hours liberty, Daniel!” Jack said, coming up behind him and clapping him on the shoulder. “What ya gonna do?”


 
“I have no idea,” Daniel admitted.
 

“Come on then. I have hedges to cut; I could use another pair of hands. I’ll spring for pizza.”

 

“It’s a deal.”

 

 
The End

I have had exactly that kind of conversation. Also ones like:

Friend: "I just want to KILL something!"

Me: "I have a functionally endless supply of weeds. You are welcome to come massacre them."


I have added this to my list of Best Fanworks Found in 2025. Also, thanks for posting it on DW where everyone here can see it.

That is such a great little conversation. And if, by some miracle, you have run out of weeds for your friend to slaughter, please sent them my way!

Please send them both here. My yard needs all the help we can get. I, too, will spring for pizza!
