sg1teamficathon (and hey, if you like the stories in there, express your enthusiasm here for a 2007 version!), Curiosity Froze the Cat is a great humor gem. Karen writes the original team dynamic wonderfully, and the dialogue is spot-on. The story starts off rather like a snowball-- or more fittingly, say, oh, a big chunk of ice-- that's perched at the top of a hill and then given a shove. Or perhaps, just a touch, as we all know that certain members of SG-1 are notorious for touching things they shouldn't. Of course, then the story picks up speed and anything else in its way until before you know it, blowtorches, jellyfish, bodily fluids and massive amounts of snark are barreling toward you, and you're laughing too hard to get out of the way.
"And, after accidentally flipping the trigger to the door, I found that it concealed a single totem with what appear to be Mayan carvings. In order to study the totem more closely, I picked it up and--"
"You. Picked. It. Up." Jack stabbed at the air with a finger, almost as if to say 'A-ha!'
"Yes," Daniel sighed. "I picked it up."
"And what was my standing order to you when we left the SGC?"
"Not to touch anything."
"Not to touch anything!" Again Jack stabbed at the air with a finger, and again Daniel cursed his remarkably poor luck.
