Why This Must Be Read:
Daniel is my favourite character, I believe the stories that I recommend reflect that for the most part. I like him strong and intelligent. He's a genius and by definition geniuses are brilliant across the board, they may be especially talented in one particular field but they have a fairly decent understanding of most others as well. Sideburns is one of the few authors who truly reflects the scope and breadth of Daniel's intelligence and in turn what that makes him capable of. My beef with her is that she makes him too forgiving, but isn't that partly why we love him so, the size of his heart? It's a strange dichotomy of her Daniels, it makes him see more human, that particular vulnerability, and yet less merely human because it makes him seem almost too perfect. But I digress. I've read all of Sideburns fics, most of them multiple times, so you will be seeing more of her stories recommended, this one goes first because in some ways it starts off as a Daniel character piece, from whose pov. she predominately writes. She shows us a Daniel without the SG-1, SGC, or much of anything else that we typically associate him with, and exactly how much of a survivor resides behind our quiet scholar. Her Daniel always brings me to tears, his hurts are so clearly written, in the most accepting and humble of manners that you want to hug him and fix everything, keep the big bad world away. It's because she's so good with expressing his hurting heart that it's that much more difficult to forgive Jack for being the cause, but she makes it work. And Jack here, more than in a great many of her fics, reveals the true depth of his feeling for Daniel, exactly how lacking life would be without the other and so once again you can't help but wholeheartedly root for them. I had first avoided this because I'm not particularly fond of stranded off world fics, but the world she creates, all the descriptions and her unique new character, all make this quite a lovely story to read. Also, great Sam, Teal'c and a nice Jacob appearance. Enjoy!
