Title: Something Ventured, Nothing Gained
Author: Jedi Buttercup
Disclaimer: The words are mine; the worlds are not.
Rating: PG
Summary: B:tVS, SG-1. Lilah had won the battle-- but SG-1 had won the war. 200 words.
Notes: Set post "Not Fade Away" in the Angel-verse, about a year and a half after SG-1 episode 7.03 "Fragile Balance". Sequel to "Pending Acquisition", for

sulien77, in answer to my timestamp meme.

Lilah stared grimly at the wreckage of the Las Vegas offices of Wolfram and Hart, grateful that she hadn't been the one in charge when the latest Special Project had blown up in its handler's faces. Not that she wasn't going to catch the blame for starting it in motion anyway, but at least she was still around to argue her case.

The introduction of the subject's equally cloned, young friends had acted as a brake on his defiance, just as she'd hoped-- but the locals hadn't been able to resist making use of the other three's talents also, and eventually someone had gotten careless in monitoring the kids' communications.

Between Jack's mystical gene, Sam's engineering talent, Teal'c's strength and experience, and Daniel's ability with languages, they'd somehow managed to send certain, strategically located Ancient artifacts in the storage vaults haywire, taking the entire building down in a series of rolling explosions and escaping in the chaos.

God damn the idiot that had thought reuniting Jack O'Neill, Junior Edition, with everything he cared for was a good idea.

After all, facing God's wrath would probably be less painful for her in the long run than the Senior Partners' likely reaction.

Did Wolfarm and Hart really thought they could control the minis? Shame on them and wonderful characterization for Lilah. I always did enjoy her duplicity.

Heh. All the alien civilizations they ran across (at least, before they were galaxy-famous) underestimated them; why not W&H? Especially with such young, cute faces. *grin*

I'm a big fan of Lilah, too. I was disappointed when they brought in Eve in Season 5 instead of using her.

Yay! Thank you muchly, I love it to itsy bitsy bits! *hugs you*

I'm sorry but I have to respond and tell you that is the cutest freakin' icon!

*grin* It is, isn't it.

littlekfru made it and it is snaggable, along with this one. Also,

eve11 wrote a ficlet called "In a Bind", which was inspired by these two icons. Here's the link. (http://eve11.livejournal.com/271294.html)

Also, please pardon my using your comment space to pimp another author's fic,

jedibuttercup. *sheepish grin*

Pimp away! I hadn't read that one before either, and it's very funny.

ITA.

*grin* I'm glad you liked it! I'll have to set a full-length story in that 'verse sometime. Or else put it up for a challenge, or something. Because oooo, the possibilities! Thank you for encouraging me to write more of it.

Believe me, it was entirely my pleasure to beg for more of this. *grin* It really tickles me pink to hear that you might possibly be writing a full-length story in this 'verse. If you do challenge it out instead, I'll just have to keep my eyes peeled and hope that whoever answers the challenge does it justice (what can I say, you've spoiled us all horribly).

Hee!

*grin*

So full of win!

That was excellent. I had missed the first part and went back to read it. I can only imagine what a team of teenagers would get into, let alone *these* teenagers. Hee!

Yeah. I've read a couple of mini-team fics before, and the dynamics always fascinated me. Would Jack and Sam actually get together if they didn't have rank between them anymore? What PhD would Daniel pick up in college this time? Would Jack go straight back into the airforce, or choose another path? How much more Americanized would Teal'c get as an actual teenager? *lol* One day, I'll have to write my take on that story.

I'm actually about 164 pages into a story that turns half the team into pre-teens right now, and it's rather fun to play with their dynamics. It's a fight though, trying to decide how much they want to let their inner child out while their outer child is already ruling the roost. They are just so much fun to write for; you kind of don't want to stop (which is probably why it's grown to 164 pages already...).

Would you mind if I recommended these two stories and possibly one or two others on

stargateficrec? *looks hopeful*

That would be lovely! Far be it from me to stop you. =)

Cool beans! Thanks!
