Why This Must Be Read: This wonderful ficlet, like Teal'c, has multiple layers: light at first glance, but with thoughtful, insightful depths. There's humor and gentle, pragmatic wisdom, and it's delightfully easy to picture Teal'c doing this on a regular basis. You'll appreciate the scene as much as Jack, and the final zinger of their exchange is just so perfectly them!

Go. Read. Smile. :)

“Adults like to pretend that children are unaware of life’s dangers, but children know that dragons exist in many forms. I wish to teach them their dragons can be slain and thus, they have no reason to be afraid.”
