I, uh...I girlbossed too close to the sun and started an entire new ship for Stargate and have already gif-ed it.
So. Here you go. Samantha Carter and Ba’al, enemies to lovers.
Tumblr media
Look at that punch! Solid hit. Great start.
This one is when Teal’c says to them, “Clearly you work well together.” I mean, that reaction? Classic enemies to lovers trope. Had the show gone on, I would have loved for them to have ended up together.
Ba’al pushes her intellectually and she softens him, but while still pushing back in just the right way.

modern au... Where.. sage is in a band... With Lucan, Balsam, Tulsi and elowen...
SAGE WRITING SONGS FOR MC<333 MC GOING TO ALL OF HIS SHOWS T-T.
making out back stage😼
Sage teaching MC how to play guitar, carefully guiding your hands to the proper frets and chords.. kissing their cheek when they do a good job.
If his band is somewhat popular...
HandiesInHisDressingRoom
SORDY I HAVE SI MUCH BRAIN ROT LOSLOL
CRYINGSCREAMINGTHROWINGUPILOVEBANDAUS
GN!Reader, I think it's so much funnier if their band is popular but you have no idea who they are, mix of scenario/HCs, NSFW under the cut
It's a normal day in the café when the bell above the door chimes and- hey that rhymes
:)
Anyways, normal day. Guy walks in. He's cute. You get the vague sense that you've seen his face around before but don't dwell on it. It's a café after all. Lot of repeat customers.
You can hear him humming.
He comes up to the counter to order and flashes you a pretty smile. You smile politely back and ask how you can help him today.
It's a standard response but then why does he seem surprised? His fluffy ears give a twitch and the tip of his tail flicks like you caught him off-guard. But he seems... A little pleased, too.
He orders some stuff - a latte, a sandwich, a cookie - and when you ask him for his name he seems a little amused.
'C'mon. Really? You don't know me?'
Shit, are you supposed to? You're about to say that it's just standard procedure or something, hoping to spare yourself the awkwardness of having forgotten someone, when something crashes behind you. You whip around to see your coworker having just dropped a plate of danishes that were gonna refill the display case. You rush over to check if they're alright but then they let out this very fangirl-ish (gender neutral) squeal and go 'Omg! You're Sage Lesath!'
And the guy does not seem surprised. He laughs a little. Your coworker rushes over to start pestering him with questions and compliments and more noises while you're stuck cleaning up the damn danishes.
You hear the bell chime again and more incomprehensible-excitement-noises so presumably your coworker can at least distract them for a moment while you finish cleaning up. There's only one cook in the kitchen back there, but luckily they don't seem to have any interest in whatever's going on so more danishes can get made.
When you come back, there's a whole ass group of people now and your coworker looks like they're about to faint. You go to get everyone else's orders and find out (mostly through breathless squeals) that the newcomers names are Lucan, Balsam, Tulsi, and Elowen.
It's only at this point when you're clearly (colloquially) nonplussed that your coworker finally asks why you aren't more excited. And you kinda shrug and say that everyone seems lovely but you're not entirely sure why you would be excited over your coworker's friends that you don't know?
You have never seen your coworker look this exasperated. Have they really failed you this badly? Do you not remember them practically tying you down to a chair and making you listen to that new album like, two weeks ago?? You admit that you'd started reading fanfics and totally zoned out.
Yes I'm plugging my own shit don't judge me
And the others are laughing at this whole scenario. Another customer is coming in so you finally shoo everyone away from the counter. You have a job to do y'know! And as your coworker finally scurries back to the kitchen, you take the new or-
...
Sage is lingering by the counter, ears perked and tail swishing in amusement. Once you take the order and the new customer moves off to the side, Sage settles his elbows on the counter and watches as you move around.
Normally you might be a little weirded out but... he looks like a cat. Well, more of a cat than before anyways. You're almost tempted to pet him. But instead you make some conversation. While Sage is certainly flirtatious and a little cocky, you can't help but notice something genuine underneath. When you casually ask if all the flirting is some kind of rocker persona... Well, he gets a little flustered.
When all the food and drinks are ready, you load it up on two serving trays and haul it over. Sage trots along after you like a lovestruck puppy.
The others ask you to sit with them for a little bit. You point out you're still on the clock but your coworker encourages you to do it, whispering (not all that quietly) that if you get free tickets then you have to give them one. You promptly shoo them away while they laugh.
Through a mix of Google, Spotify, and laughter, you find out they're a punk/rock/indie/whatever band (everyone keeps arguing about it. Google lists them as alternative) called The Griefers. Elowen is the lead singer, Tulsi is the drummer, Balsam is the keyboard/pianist, Lucan plays the bass, and Sage does guitar (though he sings once in a while as well).
R,,,rau,,,,,raunchy photoshoots,,,,,,,, hehehehehe,,,,,,,,,
When you scroll across a particularly suggestive pic of Sage (as in naked with his guitar - Zenith - covering his crotch) you immediately exit out of that.
'Aw, you don't like what you see? ;)'
He's all snuggled up next to you, so you flick his nose. He leans away but laughs, and his cheeks are a warm pink.
-
It doesn't take long after that for you to be invited to their practices. It's a little weird with all these stagehands and sound techs and whatever running around behind you, but over time you get used to it.
You get your own dedicated little loveseat and everything.
It doesn't take long for you to start seeing through everyone's professional personas. Lucan is an over-excited fluffball that loves animals, Balsam is a total sci-fi nerd, Elowen gets startled by jump scares and Tulsi likes anime.
And Sage? Sage is an absolute dork who gets flustered when you cheer for his playing or bring him a coffee or tell him he looks nice today.
One day, it's Elowen that invites you over to the soundstage. And so you clean yourself up, pack some snacks for everyone (they prefer danishes and cookies from the café over the stuff from the craft table. That's what they say anyways, but you're pretty sure they just like getting to have a friend bring them something personal), and head over.
You come in through the back like usual, stopping to chat with one of the stagehands you're friendly with, when the sounds of an argument catch your attention. Sounds like it's between Sage and Elowen. That's definitely not new. Especially when you hear Balsam laughing.
'-and it hardly seems fair,' Elowen is saying. You can't decide whether she sounds more annoyed or amused. 'Not to us, and certainly not to them.'
'Gods, why don't you just mind your own business?!' there's Sage, sounding as frustrated as ever. Elowen has a way of getting under his skin that makes his fur absolutely bristle.
'It becomes my business when they're all you talk about. If you cannot admit it to them, then you should at least be able to tell us.'
'Fine!' Sage snaps. You come around the corner to see the cat all fired up, tail lashing around and ears pinned flat. 'You want me to say it, I'll say it! I'm in love with MC!'
.... *Badum-tiss!*
That would be Tulsi - who just noticed you - hitting a rimshot.
Balsam, who notices you, starts wheezing.
'Don't laugh!' Sage is more exasperated than anything now. 'This is why I didn't wanna tell you guys, because you were gonna be assholes about it-'
Lucan beams brightly and waves to you. 'Hi MC! Did you bring those snake pastries I like? :)'
Sage pauses. His ears perk and twitch as he turns to look at you. His face goes bright red.
'.... Night take me.'
Balsam is wheezing so hard that he's gone completely silent. Help him.
-
You and Sage start dating after that.
Obviously you get backstage passes to all his shows. He loves getting to see you before and after a performance, especially since he's usually buzzing with so much energy and he needs a way to get it out.
On that note he's very touchy-feely when you're backstage. Sometimes it's making out and squeezing your butt a little, other times it's nuzzling and purring and getting his fur all over you.
It's inevitable that pictures of you two together get out. You get,, mixed reactions. On the one hand, a lot of people think you two are an absolutely adorable couple, and Sage is clearly happy with you. On the other hand, a lot of people are jealous and shit-talk you as a result.
So obviously Sage gushes about you every chance he gets. If you're comfortable being on his Instagram then he posts selfies of the both of you and always captions it with something about how sweet/kind/adorable/lovely etc. you are and how lucky he is to have you.
He also likes leaving those 'sugar daddy hmu' type comments on your page because he thinks it's really funny
If you don't really wanna be on social media then he respects that, and he saves all his gushing for interviews.
Teaches you how to play the guitar,, stands behind you so he can guide your fingers along the fret board,,, his palms are so warm and his fingertips are all calloused,,,,, kissing your cheek when you do it right,,,,,, humming along,,,,,, tells you that with a little practice you'll be the best player ever. Maybe you can replace him when he wants to take a break? Oh but if you need more lessons then he's happy to keep his arms around you ;)
You play with the band sometimes! Just during practice or when you guys are goofing around. Everyone teaches you a little bit about their instruments. You find out Balsam's keyboard can record things and he recorded Sage's impromptu love confession, so Sage will be in the middle of practicing a solo and Balsam will start playing it on full volume to fuck with him.
Sage does write songs for you and he's always so shy about it. He only ever sings it when you guys are alone though. Usually at his or your apartment/house/whatever.
You get free merch so that's cool
I think Sage used to kinda overdo it at the after parties, but now that you're there to keep him in check he's a lot calmer. Obviously still drinks and possibly gets a little high but he's definitely not blacking out like he used to. It's after one of those parties, when Sage is curled up in your lap taking a cat nap and you're stroking his hair, that Tulsi points it out.
He gets hit on a lot. He always has, of course, but now it almost seems to happen more often. It always kind of annoyed him before but now it downright pisses him off. Everyone knows he's in a very happy relationship, thank you very much, so can't they just fuck off or something? He always tells you about it when it happens, and it makes him sulk a fair bit. Do people think he's a cheater or something? That he's so sex-crazed that he would betray you like that?
You always hug him extra tight and kiss the top of his head and remind him that he's all yours, and that makes him feel better.
Tumblr media
It's a little silly (at least, that's what Sage says) but he still gets anxious about performing sometimes. It depends on the crowd size.
And tonight's performance has a lot of people.
He's got about twenty, twenty-five minutes before he needs to be on stage for final checks.
His tail won't stop flicking around and his ears are flattened and he keeps rubbing the back of his neck.
You ask him if there's anything you can do to help. He looks over at you, amber eyes full of sincerity, and softly asks if you can just,,, let him forget about everything for a minute?
I think that's one of the things he loves about you. You see through the music and the rock persona and whatever to who he really is, and he just... Really needs to be reminded that he deserves love and affection. Not as the lead guitarist for the Griefers but as Sage Lesath, a dorky cat man who chases laser pointers and is spooked by ghosts and once walked into a door because he was too busy texting you to pay attention to his surroundings.
You :) tell him :) to sit down on the :) on the table :)
He's a little flustered but agrees, sitting on the edge of the little table. It creaks ominously but holds fine, so that's good.
You set your hands on his hips,, tuck yourself between his legs,,, cup your cheeks in his hands and kiss him all soft and gentle and sweet. He purrs into your mouth and gradually relaxes, tail winding around your thigh as he pulls you closer so your chests are flushed. You trail your fingers through his hair,, scritch behind his ears,,, give him a lil tug so his head falls back,,,, you kiss his cheek, the underside of his jaw, gently press your lips against the spot where you can feel his pulse jump. His breath comes out as a broken sigh, and his words become a little whimper.
You give his ears one last affectionate scratch before dropping your hand back down to his waist. Give his sides a little squeeze. Then start trailing your hands slowly up his sides, sneaking under his jacket. He's practically trembling under your touch.
As you gradually trail your kisses and bites down his neck and to his shoulders, you coo to him. Tell him he's such a good kitty cat, your good kitty cat, so cute and so sweet and so lovely,,,
And it doesn't take much for you to feel his cock getting hard in his pants.
He's panting softly, all flushed and lovely and eyes dark with need. You carefully unbutton his pants (after undoing the various belts and straps that are part of his costume) and roll them down to his knees to let his dick spring out. There's already some pre leaking out of the tip, and that makes it easy for you to take him in your hand and pump his shaft. His head falls back and bumps against the wall, purring and moaning and bucking his hips a little. You use your free hand to peel back the collar of his jacket and leave a hickey on his shoulder, where it'll be hidden.
Then you leave one on the crook of his neck, where it probably won't be hidden. The makeup artist will totally have your ass for that but it's worth it.
Oh, he looks so cute, all blushy and panting and drooling like that... You love him so much.... And tomorrow morning, you're gonna wake up wearing his jacket and make some breakfast in bed, and you guys can spend the whole day cuddling on the couch and binging movies and laughing. And in the evening, maybe you guys can go on a date? Just something simple, like ice cream and a walk in the park or something like that. And then you'll go home and ride him until he passes out :D
Sage whines that he's getting close. You could already guess from the way the tip of his tail is flicking around like crazy.
You quickly squat down and take the tip into your mouth, bobbing your head up and down a few times until he lets out a warning cry. Then you pull back, opening your mouth wide and letting the tip sit on your tongue and looking up at him. He's watching you.
And you wink.
And he cums in your mouth.
You wait until you're sure he's done - and it takes a second, kitty cat cums a lot - to suck the last of it off his tip and then swallow. Then open your mouth to show him you swallowed it all.
And even though he literally just came, his cock gives an interested twitch.
You quickly tuck him back in and stand up before he can get any ideas. Fix his jacket. Smooth his hair. Cup his cheeks and smooch his forehead.
He wraps his arms around your waist and pulls you close and for a few minutes you guys just,, hold each other. He mumbles a soft 'thank you' into your shoulder.
One of the stagehands slaps on the door and tells Sage to hurry up. Sage growls lowly and squeezes you tighter. He'll be there in a second!
He just needs you close for a little longer.

Random Griefer Headcanons
I am filled with a sudden burst of love for the Griefers (thanks to @poisonouswritings lovely writing posts) so I will try to have this...somewhat organized. There will be no guarantees.
Balsam would love Downton Abbey. No this is not just because I'm watching it now this is because it is canon
I feel like he'd watch period dramas in general but Downton Abbey specifically he loves
You know those little hair pins Lucan has on the right side of his head? He has a bunch of pairs of those, different colors, different charms on them, you name it. Please buy him some for his birthday he will cry
Elowen in leggings................
The Griefers get lost in IKEA. I might actually make a separate post about that cuz, oh boy the shenanigans
Tulsi likes Renaissance fairs! The one closest to me has a blacksmith section and she would love to go there, ask the smiths for advice and just talk in general. I think she'd also like to dress up in a steampunk style
Elowen sits on Lucan's back while he does push-ups, reading a book and keeping count in her head. She smacks his head if he tries to skimp
Lucan would cry when he reads about King Tut and his duckie tunic
Tumblr media
This is Sage and Lucan when Sage finds him crying at his phone
Lucan unironically has a rubber duckie in the shower. Sage doesn't like how it stares at him so he turns it away when he's taking a shower
Tulsi has a list of home projects to do. In a modern!AU you know they all share a home but it's probably a crappy home and Tulsi doesn't wanna hire people to mess it up even more
They all get drunk/high and watch some supernatural or conspiracy theorist show. Sage and Lucan are both "THINK ABOUT IT," Balsam still retains the brain cell but is seriously considering it, Tulsi is questioning the probability of any of this even happening, Elowen is just there to watch the glowing lights
Elowen and Tulsi bond over space. They think it's cool as hell
Lucan watches Avatar: The Last Airbender and tries to imitate their fighting. Puppy wants to have cool powers
Tulsi wears Converse and only Converse
The boys in flannels.......shirtless underneath......mmmmmm
They adopt a cat! It's fat! It's orange! His name is Block! He loves to snuggle and eat!
Elowen would secretly baby talk to animals but only if no one was ever around and if anyone found out she'd kill them
I feel like Lucan has a good lullaby voice. He's good at having babies fall asleep. And he's so cute and calming and careful who wouldn't want him holding a baby?
Tulsi and Balsam are in the front row, switching between driving and passenger. Lucan is always in the middle row, and Elowen and Sage switch between middle and back. One of them always has to be behind Lucan tho cuz Elowen will mess with Sage and they will fight
Snuggle pile......it starts with just Sage in a sunny spot.......then Lucan joins...........then Elowen joins on top of Lucan.........and Balsam and Tulsi join just to chill but they're surrounded by their friends and family and it's sunny and.....their eyes start to droop..............zzzzz........
They can have my whole heart I love them so much

Balsam Bolt
Uncommon, Weapon (Heavy Crossbow)
Made from live edge wood of the Balsam Blizzard Fir, it perpetually emits a subtle woody aroma.
This weapon has 3 charges which you can use to augment the ammunition it fires.  When you hit a creature with a ranged attack using this weapon you can choose one of the following options. The weapon regains all spent charges at dawn, or spends 1 hour completely covered in snow.
Sticking Sap. (1 Charge) Viscous sap leaks out from the bolt, coating the creature in sticky sap.  The target's movement speed is halved.  This effect lasts until the end of their next turn.
Restraining Resin. (2 Charges) A thin liquid leaks from the bolt and pools at the base of the target's feet where it rapidly hardens into a strong amber.  The target can make a DC 13 Dex save, becoming restrained on a fail.  At the end of their turn, creatures restrained in this way can make a DC 13 Str save ending the effect on a success.
Live Ammunition. The bolts fired from this weapon are living tree saplings.  You can fire this weapon at the ground within range, planting a Blizzard Balsam Fir sapling on the target. Once planted, this sapling is just a regular Blizzard Balsam Fir sapling.  It will grow at the normal rate and is only able to survive in certain environments.
