Why This Must Be Read: The entirety of this fic takes place inside Daniel's brain, his musings as he watches Jack participate in an off-world ritual. The ritual is challenging, but not harmful, and Kuonji does a wonderful job of capturing Daniel's intelligent insights into Jack, himself, and the team, among other tangents, while he observes. Daniel's clear-eyed admiration is easily appreciated by all Jack fans, and the last sentence is perfect! With smart!Daniel, hot!Jack, and lovely character notes, this is a J/D delight.
Excerpt:
The Su combined beauty with practicality. Daniel wondered for an idle instant if the Ancients had had any peripheral influence on them.
Latin, clearly linguistically rooted in Ancient, was the language of the Romans, who had built the soaring aqueducts. Yet Buddhism, an Asian religion, was just as clearly founded on the principles of ascension. It had cross-pollination written all over it. Maybe if he looked at--
All further academic inquiries were dashed by the sight of Jack casually unfastening his robe and slipping it off his shoulders. The material seemed to cling to his body as it slid down the broad shoulders. Defying gravity, it lingered along the narrow waist, the swell of buttocks, thighs, and calves, to pool around Jack's feet.
The man didn't even hesitate, just stepped out, matter-of-fact. There wasn't a trace of discomfort or embarrassment about him.
