Why this must be read:

When I was in my anti-AU incarnation, this was one of the very few that snuck in under the radar and charmed the socks off of me. Author calls it inspired by Indecent Proposal, but she makes it all seem so fresh and well characterized that I only see the fic.

Daniel is his introspective, conflicted self and Jack, while not military, is still Jack. The settings are "see-able", the frustration Daniel experiences in the beginning of this was so palpable I wanted to throw things, the dialog fabulous and the hotness? Sheesh.

My description from my own rec-notes after first reading..."J/D AU Daniel is a down & out archaeologist in a tight spot. Jack has an even tighter spot in mind *g*"  That sounds a little more lurid than I intend. There's lots of mental calisthenics and heartfelt angst/joy etc...so much more than the PWP such a description would imply.
