Dangerous Men

Why this must be read:

A captivating look at Daniel, early SG1 and into Season 8, all from Jack's eyes. Lokei explores Daniel's influence on others around him and how the Stargate program itself has changed Daniel. From the open idealist to the more controlled personage we have in later seasons, Jack contemplates Daniel in four snippets through the years. We also get some fantastic glimpses at Daniel's and Jack's friendship as it moved into the strong one they've got in Season 7 and 8. Definitely a fic to enjoy for any Jack and Daniel friendship lover.

Story Summary: "Those who dream by night, in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dream with open eyes, and make it possible."  ~ T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia)  

 

“Thrones and dominations,” Daniel added, and Jack’s lips curled upwards momentarily in no real mirth.  Once again, they were still reading from the same page, even if Jack’s wouldn’t have included references to Paradise Lost eight or nine years ago.

Daniel’s head tilted a little further to get a better look at Jack from under the boonie Jack had excavated from one of the cabin’s closets.  For a moment it was like Jack was looking at the Daniel of years ago, all inquisitive gleam and barely contained bounces of exhilaration.  Then Daniel’s face shifted once more to the more controlled expression Jack knew now and was still trying to understand.  Then somewhere, somehow, Daniel’s face, the fate of gods and worlds, the tilt of the boonie and the lingering openness in Daniel’s eyes got all tangled up in Jack’s brain, and when he opened his mouth, more words fell out.

“So where does that leave us?”
