Why This Must Be Read: Because we all love to take this episode so much further in our minds, and marzipan77 has written a masterful, powerful, yet very tender tag that does just that. We see Jack an Daniel struggle through indecision and doubt, to quickly rise and re-affirm their long-held friendship. Beautifully written.

It was the anger that led him. It had been there all along, simmering, familiar, but the further he and Bill had penetrated into the jungle, the harder it became to ignore it. He didn’t know when it started, but he knew when he could finally put a name to it, identify the feeling that had been clenching in his gut for days, weeks even. It was in the general’s office, when Hammond had looked over at him and summarily told him to ‘go fetch’ the Tel’chak device—oh, and take Dr. Lee along with you. And Jacob and Sam had looked over at his disbelief and smiled.
