Why This Must Be Read: I have loved this fic since I first read it, most particularly for the writing style and presentation, although I always love a good h/c fic. It covers a whole lot of ground for a short fic via Jack's feverish and fragmented thought processes, touching on Jack's adolescence, the hazards of the job, and his relationship with Daniel.


Excerpt:
Wait a second. Die? He has no plans to die. Dying’s for losers, and sometimes Daniel. Daniel’s not a loser. He won big when he snagged Jack. Jack O’Neill ... never knowingly undersells himself. Could be that Jack’s the loser now though. He’s convulsed by tremors. Feels like he’s falling apart. Only on the outside, though. Inside, he’s held together by Daniel. Always has been. He’s not going to die. He turns his face into the comfort of Daniel’s jacket. He smells ... like Daniel, although there’s more than the scent of home and familiarity and love. There’s something else. Fear. He’d know it anywhere. Daniel’s frightened.
