AUTHOR'S WEBSITE: http://wintersong0.tripod.com/jinxingfate/stargate.htm
LINK: You have to go to the website and download the RTF file.
WHY READ?: This is the sequel to my previous rec, "Monkey Screaming".
If you liked the last story, you're probably going to love this one as well. It picks up the narrative of the previous story and shows that if Jon (the name by which Mini!Jack is going) is now coping with his team around him, others around him aren't managing so well. They've lost more than can be replaced and things are going from completely shitty to totally fucked-up.
The drama of the situation is what initially propels it forward - that and the impending knowledge that a crash-and-burn is imminent - but when the story turns on it's hingepoint, the rest is all adventure-motion-determination-event. The story keeps moving, from conflict to conflict, from pain to agony, from viewpoint to viewpoint, and it never lets up until the denouement.
Once again, brilliant writing, brilliant portrayal, exceptional characterisation, and the psychology of the situation is unspeakably powerful - although I have no idea of its accuracy. The fight scene between Jon and Alex is brutal - as is the depiction of Alex's self-destructive instincts which the reader can see spiralling down to a terrifying rock-bottom.
The story is seriously longer than 'Monkey Screaming' at 23,000 words. Be sure you have time to read it through from go to whoa, because this is not a story you want to lack the time to finish.
