Link: "An I for an I"

Why this must be read:

paian has a wonderfully lyrical style of writing; her prose has its own rhythm and each carefully worded phrase resonates.

Here she gives us Teal'c, and shows the layer upon layer of connections that he has found and made with Earth. I love the unspooling feeling this fic has, where it travels from close and intimate observations, to far-reaching threads that carry through space and time.

A teeny extract

This he believes, though the same salt runs in his veins and if those seas call to him their cry is weak, diluted by the aeons and the light-years, muted by the genetic will of prim'ta and drowned by the synthetic wash of tretonin. He believes it because this planet, the first world, the lost world, called to him the way its oceans call to them, but with a lower, older resonance, the call not of water to blood but of rock to flesh, metal to muscle, stone to bone -- a call so deep and strong that it crossed the stars.

The new fic tag is: http://paian.dreamwidth.org/tag/fic:+all+fic.

I don't think you're reccing this month so I'm pretty sure you can't edit the post at the moment -- just want to make sure there's updated linkage available.

Thank you for the beautiful rec!
