Why This Must Be Read: This fic is pure team love, shaped around the all-too-likely premise of Jack driving Daniel insane by singing "Oh Danny Boy" every year on St. Patrick's Day.

This charming ficlet spans ten seasons, giving us snapshots of each year and the tradition that the team never fails to remember. Some are poignant: the year they're all doped on pain meds, or the year Daniel is gone. Some are hilarious: Jack serenading Daniel in the commissary, Vala brightly asking for directions to the alcohol. But it's all delightful teamy goodness, and it's guaranteed to make you smile!


The second St. Patrick’s Day of SG-1 found them locked in a jail cell off-world. The crime was heresy against the Gods, something they were familiar with at this point.

Jack and Sam whistled ‘Danny Boy’ to cover the sounds of Sam picking the cell’s lock.

They had to be quiet as they snuck back to the gate under the cover of darkness, but Daniel had that damn song stuck in his head for days after that.
