The Nature of the Beast by Remma (G by Author; PG by Rec'cer)

Rec Category: Daniel Jackson

Category: Action/Adventure; Drama; Angst; Pre-Slash; Slash; Jack O'Neill

Author on LJ:  Unknown
Author's Website:  Remma's Home World  (Since this is a Geocities site, you can also find Remma's fics at Area 52.)
Link:  The Nature of the Beast

Why This Must Be Read:  Some of my favorite kinds of SG-1 fics are Daniel and/or Jack/Daniel focused stories, centered around the adventure and drama of SGC missions, that show Daniel at his linguist/archaeologist/anthropologist best, and that portray Daniel and Jack's relationship believably in all its complex, banter-y, incontrovertible glory.  This is that kind of story.  Set sometime post-Divide and Conquer, as their friendship has become increasingly fraught with tension and anger, Daniel sets off on a mission with another team, one that brings him a satisfyingly entertaining mix (for the reader) of action, suspense, and danger.  It all provides a perfect backdrop for portraying Daniel at his professional best, sets the stage for understanding and resolution between Jack and Daniel (and between Daniel and another supporting canonical character - think Legacy), and casts it with a smattering of original characters, especially one emotionally engaging young man, who do just what they're supposed to do here - support rather than steal the limelight.

Author's Summary:  "Daniel begins to question his place on SG-1, but before he can make a decision, he is lost offworld.  Can Jack find him, and if he does, can he convince him to stay?"
