Why This Must Be Read: This is one of my absolute favorite Sid fics. It starts with Jack finally admitting his feelings to Daniel only to find out: Oops! Daniel's already seeing someone. It's a great exploration of friendship and love and how to deal with what life throws at you. Sid created a truly wonderful original character, Bjorn, who is there as a character in his own right, and as a partner for Daniel, and not just as a writing device to make Daniel 'see the light.'
This is a long fic (about 18K words), running parallel around mid-series. It is wonderfully paced and never rushed. It does cover Meridian, and you will cry. But it has a happy ending, and I think Sid did all the characters justice by the end of the story.
Excerpt:
“Hey,” Jack replied, letting his gaze wander carefully, casually to the man at Daniel’s side.
About Daniel’s age, maybe a couple of years younger, an inch or so shorter, broad-shouldered. Shaggy hair, dark blond, with a neatly trimmed beard that was several shades deeper into the brown end of the spectrum.
Piercing blue eyes that were watching Jack with interest. “Hello.”
“Daniel?”
“Oh! Um. Jack O’Neill. Bjorn Ludvigsen.”
Bjorn stepped forward, holding out his hand. “A pleasure.” He spoke with an accent that was subtle, but definitely there.
“Likewise,” Jack said airily, shaking hands firmly and resisting the urge to run away. “Daniel talks about me all the time.”
Daniel rolled his eyes. “Jack.”
Bjorn laughed. “Shall we say, most of the time?”
“No, we shall not,” Daniel said firmly.
Bjorn shrugged. “We shall not,” he said to Jack, completely straight-faced, as he lifted his right foot and kicked Daniel lightly on the ankle.
Jack assumed that whatever Daniel said to Bjorn in response was extremely rude, but as he didn’t speak… Scandinavian, he only had the laughter in Bjorn’s eyes to go on.
“Danish,” Daniel said when Jack’s eyes flicked back to him.
“Right.” Right. Bjorn was from Denmark. Daniel had told him that. Had told him more about Bjorn than he would ever have cared to know. Starting with the fact that he existed, and more specifically, existed in Daniel’s life.
