In honor of Star Wars Day, I thought I'd share the opening lines from a long abandoned project that I still secretly hope to finish some day.
There’s a pit of dread in Jack’s stomach. A familiar knot coiling as he watches the kid’s curiosity get the better of him and Jack can’t help but sigh. He’s not being reckless, that’s disingenuous. The kid is good. And he’s grown up quite a bit since he was a nineteen year old in the desert, mouthing off and looking for a fight.
Fighting a war, watching a mentor die by enemy hands, losing a father makes you grow up quick. He’s come into his own as a tactician and leader. Still, despite his accomplishments and accolades, he needs someone watching his back when he forgets to do it.
“I’ll see you shortly. There’s a meteor that hit the ground near here, I want to check it out,” the kid says through comms.
Jack shifts, the coil of anxiety growing. Shouldn’t let him go scampering off alone. He scans the inhospitable terrain. There’s something out there that they can't see. Something hunting them. Waiting to strike.
“Watch it, kid,” Jack mumbles, eyes narrowing as though he can stop what’s about to happen, though he knows it’s part of the catalyst kicking off the rest of the plot.
Mac’s lips twitch into a small grin at the words that escape Jack’s lips.
Jack rolls his eyes, but lets Mac’s have his mirth before turning his focus back to the screen in front of him. Waiting. Watching. Jack's eagle eyes never catch sight of it until it’s on top of the kid. With a roar that still gives Jack chills, the massive paw swipes down, claws extended, striking the kid.
The vicious beast towers over unconscious Luke Skywalker, collapsed in the snow, face bloodied.
And Han Solo, watcher of Luke’s back, has no idea of the danger his friend is in, and heads back to the safety of the Echo base on the ice planet Hoth.
Jack’s jaw clenches as he watches the screen.
Mac chucks a piece of popcorn at him, still chuckling at Jack’s dramatic reaction to the attack. “How many times have you seen this movie?”
“Couple dozen at least,” Jack shrugs.
“That seems generously low. But you still jump every time the Wampa attacks.”
“Think I saw it eight times when it was in theaters.”
“Weren’t you like five when it came out?”
“It made an impression.”
“Not that much of an impression because you jump at this part every time.”
“It’s not a jump. It’s more of a... flinch.”
Mac raises an eyebrow. “I don’t think that’s any better.”
“Nah, a jump is a jump and a flinch is a flinch and there’s some overlap but there’s a nuanced difference here.”
Mac’s eyebrows creep higher.
“It’s not a startled flinch, everybody knows the Wampa is there, even if they search frame by frame and can’t find him-"
"Which you've done."
"-camouflaged in the snow waiting to attack. It’s a… concerned flinch. An oh-no-Luke-is-hurt-flinch. What’s gonna happen to him now? All alone without his team.”
“But you know what happens.”
“Han and Leia don’t. Chewie and the droids don’t. No one even knows Luke is missing yet. No one knows he’s in danger.”
"Han finds him." Mac hums picking up another handful of popcorn, studying the kernels.
"Of course he does. Ain't no world where Han doesn't come back for Luke. I mean, except when he's frozen in carbonite but then Luke comes for him."
Mac hums picking up another handful of popcorn, studying the kernels.
“You-” Jack swallows. “You want to talk about it?”
“The movie?”
“The movie. Penny’s Halloween party. Your impromptu trip to Texas.” Jack looks at Mac out of the corner of his eye.
“I think we’ve probably discussed everything Star Wars already, unless you want to lose the Ewok debate again.”
“First of all, I did not lose that debate-”
“Yeah, I think you did-” Jack scowls. “And second, let’s save it for when we get to Jedi so I can pause it to have visuals for my arguments.”
#PLUTO THIS IS AMAZING#I will never watch Star Wars the same way again!!#macgyver#Star Wars#jack dalton#angus maccgyver#macgyver fanfiction

Jack: Oooo, you know what this reminds me of?
Mac: Another one of your dumb dreams?
Jack: No, no, that space movie
You know, the one with Indiana Jones in it?
Mac: Jack, now is not the time for a Star Wars discussion
Jack: Oh, I beg to differ

MacGyver Appreciation Fortnight
Day 3: Scene
The very important Star Wars conversation
Hey, Mac, when we jumped out of that plane, I thought you said you had a plan.
Surviving the jump was the plan. Now we just need a new plan.
Hell yeah, we do.

Ida Schwartz cleaned up her dinner dishes and put her leftovers in the fridge, lamenting that she'd eaten dinner alone again. Her husband Ivan had passed away ten years ago from a heart attack, and her kids all lived outside of LA, so she spent most evenings at home alone.
During the weekdays, she volunteered at St. Joe's where her favorite task was holding the babies in the NICU. But on Thursdays, she taught an acting class at the community college. She'd been an actress in her youth with a contract at Paramount. She'd never been a star, but she'd made a steady living, and she'd met Ivan, who was a writer and producer for the studio.
After dinner, she went out on the front porch to water her azaleas and bougainvillea. It had been hot and dry recently, so she was trying to be sure to water them consistently in the evening. Maybe every couple of days for the bougainvillea. Glancing across her yard, she spotted Harry's grandson jogging down his driveway.

The 2024 Cairo Day Celebration begins on April 8th, the same day the solar eclipse takes place in the US. During the eclipse NASA is planning to launch 3 rockets to study the affects on the Earth's atmosphere using the Atmospheric Perturbations around Eclipse's Path project aka APEP.
Apep is also the Egyptian god of darkness and disorder...
nobody tell Jack Dalton.

If you want to be depressed, in a bittersweet way, for Cairo day, just listen to Travellin' Soldier by Home Free, while thinking of Jack Dalton.
