My sister just called Jack "the idiot guy" what the flippity man

[finnarcher721]

I’m so glad there are so many other people out there that see through all that shit! I 100% believe Jack played it up a little bit for various reasons and even his own amusement at times, but I also believe the writing left much to be desired. The writers must have had differing opinions of his character because he was written super inconsistently. Sometimes he was a bamf and the next second he was an incompetent goof and some things were just flat out out of character. It still pisses me off to this day. To say or insinuate that a former Delta squad leader has anything less than well above average intelligence is insulting.

Write One Sentence

and share it here. The next sentence in your draft or the last sentence you wrote:

In a rare, vulnerable moment, influenced by exhaustion and pain meds, Mac confided in her that even after months of being away, he still felt like he’d lost a limb.

Thanks for the tag @nativestarwrites ! If you'd like to do this, I'm tagging @lailuhhh @impossiblepluto @authorangelita and anyone else who'd like to share!!

Thanks bestieee

@rosieblogstuff @bold-and-nosy and whoever else

[rosieblogstuff]

Just one sentence? Too bad, you get two.

Mac grits his teeth at the way pain flares as he lowers himself into the side door of Cage’s sports car (make model TBD). She glances at him as she slides into the driver’s seat but says nothing.

How about: @lupinescribbler @ariminiria @diamond-cavalier @loves-2-read

[lupinescribbler]

I'm choosing to willfully ignore the 1 part of this, like a game of telephone gone awry. Thanks for the tag :)

The abundance of flowers made Jack feel a bit guilty for coming empty-handed. All he had was his phone silenced in his pocket, a pistol wedged in his belt, and rambling, remorseful, words.

a no pressure @daltonsnightmare

[daltonsnightmare]

I, too, will ignore the first part. Two’s more fun than just one :3 Thank you for the tag!!!

The man stilled, looking like he barely dared to breathe. Finally, half-lidded blue eyes made their way to Brass’ own.

[lilituism]

Thank you for the tag!

I love everyone's excerpts! So curious to see what the stories are gonna be.

As for me, I've finally started my mashup event piece, so have a sentence (or two three) from that.

Watching the first exodus, Mac had known with absolute certainty that it was only a matter of time before they came for him as well. CIA, NSA, joint task forces with no clear leadership, everyone who waded through the murky waters of black ops work. With Mac’s reputation and skillset he was surprised they hadn’t knocked on his door yet.

I'm so, so bad at tagging people... So, erm, everyone who'd like to join, please do.

This is a little excerpt from my WIP Thicker than Blood

He felt the tell-tale raised bumps of scar tissue where a line of stitches had been. He sobbed loose a breath and quickly sucked in another.

“Jack…” Mac’s fragile voice broke on the whispered plea of his partner's name.

[finnarcher721]

I've been searching for a fic I had read a while back but I can't remember who wrote it or the title😭 please can someone help me find it! Here is what I remember from it, Mac and Jack were recovering watching movies on Mac’s couch. Mac thought Jack was fine but when he starts slurring his words and passes out he discovered Jack had been bleeding internally. I've had the flu all week and it really suuuucks. If y'all can help me find this fic I've been searching for forever now it would cheer me up exponentially!

[finnarcher721]

An idea for my next fic after Thicker than Blood. Jack lives, obviously, but he wasn't there for the nanobot mission therefore has no clue that Mac and Riley have them. The nanobot people want to test how much control they have over their subjects so they hijack Mac and Riley’s brains and have them drug and kidnap an unsuspecting Jack. Jack wakes up tied to a chair with a bag over his head and is really confused when Mac and Riley take turns beating the crap out of him. Jack doesn't understand and his turmoil only increases when his best friend points a gun at him.

[finnarcher721]

So I received this comment on my fic Thicker than Blood and would be lying if I said that it didn't bother me and make me question continuing to write. Honestly I've been in a funk since I read it and I think about it everytime I try to work on the next chapter. I know my writing isn't anything special, but damn

@rosieblogstuff

Delta Force was established in 1977. Not just anyone could become a Delta Operator. Only the cream of the crop could receive an invitation to tryout for Delta selection. Selection and training lasted around 18 months and is highly classified. The attrition rate is very high averaging around 90%. Jack received his invitation after two years in the Ranger Regiment and he was the only one to make it into the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta out of the 120 candidates in his class. Jack’s Delta operator number was 921, which in itself spoke volumes about how elite the Delta Force is with fewer than 1,000 operators existing since their inception. Jack was in CAG for nine years and led his unit as a Master Sergeant for seven years.

This wasn't the first time Mac had been annoyed with Bozer after his long time friend made a comment insinuating that Jack wasn't as intelligent as the rest of their team. To be fair Bozer didnt know Jack like Mac did and Bozer had never been in the Army and knew nothing about the intelligence and skill required to make it into a Delta Squadron let alone lead a Delta Unit. Bozer didnt realize how special Jack Dalton was and he had to remedy that.
