Helping Hands, by Thothmes (PG)
Show: SG-1
Rec Category: Team
Characters: Jack O'Neill, Samantha Carter, Teal'c, Daniel Jackson
Categories: gen, humor, friendship, off-world
Warnings: none
Author's Journal:thothmes
Author's Website: fic tag
Link: H is for Helping Hands
Why This Must Be Read: Glorious off-world shenanigans when the team is stranded on a planet by a very malfunctioning Stargate. You'll love how each member finds his or her place in the village and the very in-character humor sprinkled throughout.
The welcome committee met them at the boundaries of the village, and it was both enthusiastic, loud, and eager to announce them. Usually it was Daniel's job to start the meeting and greeting, but he really wasn't too comfortable with dogs, and there were a lot of them, and none of them were toy breeds. Jack stepped forward instead, drew himself up to his full height, looked one of them in the eye and snapped "Ahhht!" once, with feeling. The dog he had challenged settled instantly into a relaxed pose and stopped barking, and soon the others followed suit. Daniel was never sure how he did it, but there didn't seem to be a dog in this universe or any other that didn't adore Jack O'Neill.
The dogs were followed shortly by a mixed age flock of the town's children, and between Sam's gentle smile, and Jack's juvenile mugging, they soon decided that SG-1 were a Good Thing, if somewhat bedraggled, and should be escorted home to meet the folks. Had they but known, this was an enormous stroke of good fortune, because in tales passed down from ancient days, strangers were generally malevolent, but the villagers decided that these four, could not be harbingers of death and destruction. Anyone who was that bewitching to dogs and kids could not be evil, surely?
Their luck was looking up. Jack ripped the velcro cover on his watch back to check beneath it for the time. Of course it was. Back home it was starting into Thursday.
