Why This Must Be Read:

Yes, yes, I know most of you know this one :-)  But it's very seasonal.  And it's also very good.  Following The Light, Daniel attracts the attention of some genuinely menacing Bad Guys when he mysteriously gains the ability to teleport.  Therein follows some great Danny Whumping, cool use of canon, and even some traditional rest-of-team-in-pursuit-of-missing-archaeologist shenanigans.  Don't let the fact that this is a crossover put you off.  I've never seen the Sentinel, yet even as new characters, Jim and Blair play a satisfying and vital part in this superior fic. 

Snippet of Fic:

"The dreams?" Jim asked eventually.

"They were lovely," Jackson said again, his voice getting a little far away. "So peaceful. Every night, almost, I would dream that I was looking down at the streets of this amazing city. Like nothing I'd ever seen before, and I've seen -- it felt -- it's stupid, but at first the dreams felt like forgiveness, almost. Absolution." Another bitter laugh. "I should have known better."
