Author's summary: What are words for?
Why This Must Be Read: In four quietly charming scenes (two at home framed by two at work), the author paints a memorable portrait of Season 8 established-relationship Jack and Daniel, and as far as I'm concerned the defining one. A language that will "make the diplomats nuts," Jack and Daniel communicating on levels far beyond the verbal, Daniel getting to be a linguist (and do a bad Robert De Niro impression), an easygoing, grown-up volley of double entendres as bonus illustration, a perfectly inevitable and grin-inducing last line ... all rendered in Brighid's trademark beautiful prose.
About 2000 words, and when you're done reading, if the author's work is new to you please consider checking out the rest of her fic. This one is a personal favorite, but really her whole oeuvre should be recced.

Excerpt:
Coffee under his nose made him open his eyes, and it was just *wrong* to wake up when there was no sun but the coffee was hot and strong and, yeah, the beans from the airtight can had been used.
"You drooled, there are cookie crumbs all over the bed and how the hell did you get that dry erase stuff up your nose, anyway?" The words were annoyed, but the fondness underlying them was familiar. Daniel reached blindly for the coffee and ignored Jack's version of "good morning, sweetheart." It meant the same thing, anyway.
