Why This Must Be Read:
Author's summary: Daniel goes on a treasure hunt, Jack gets a clue.

If the idea of Daniel going on an intergalactic treasure hunt isn't enticement enough for you, then there's also Daniel finding his footing outside of SG-1. There's some angst, but mostly this story is simply a lot of fun. Shedoc has written a great group of characters in the SG-3 marines who are just as lively and interesting as the story itself. And they adopt Daniel (seriously, there's a tattoo and everything). This is definitely one of my favourites in the fandom. I've probably re-read it at least a half-dozen times and it just never gets old.

"What do they have that we don't?" the question slipped out of Jack's mouth almost without his permission.

"They may not like me that much, but they treat me with respect Jack," Daniel sighed, looking into his half empty mug. Teal'c made as if to speak, but was interrupted but Mooney's shout.

"Hey! Indiana Jackson! Get your butt over here - it's poker time!"

"Respect?" Jack sneered. Daniel grinned, and got up. He nodded politely to Teal'c and walked away, chuckling when he reached Mooney's side.

"What?" Mooney asked with feigned innocence and Daniel shook his head.

"Prepare to lose your next pay check, Mooney," Daniel laughed and accepted the clap to the shoulder he got in return.

Jack's face darkened again. Yeah, there was respect there. The nickname had no shades of hate or snideness to it and the men Daniel was sitting with now were accepting his presence easily. It had been like that for SG 1 in the early years - they'd been so good together. Now Jack's anger and jealousy were tearing them apart and he didn't know how to stop their downward spiral.
