Why This Must Be Read: Another gem from the queen of gen fic: Jack and Daniel, post-series. Jack's subconscious and Daniel in a gown with optional tiara. Sparkling banter, lots of meaning-of-life-stuff, and enduring friendship. This fic is just joy!

"Daniel. Are you seriously going to lecture me even in my dreams?" Jack demanded.
