Why This Must Be Read: And now, on to something darker. :D

This is a shorter piece than Joy's usual fare, but what hit me about it was the walk into the darker sides of the mind. This is an author that's always depicted Daniel as very self-aware, and she uses that to great effect here. The real horror for me in this piece was how Daniel could recognize how he was being conditioned to become like his abusers…and that there was a part of him that could embrace that potential. We see a darker side to Jack here, too, and it's just as disturbing. And yet, there's still light at the end, and still hope. The guys are still themselves, as well - the darkness is just as believeable as the other clearly drawn aspects of their characters. A really well-executed character piece, for all its harshness.

Why this must be read: Take one alien engineered clone sent to Sunnydale to investigate reports that there had been a "God" running around Southern California a few years back. Add one mystically engineered former key to the universe, strange bad guys, nasty curse enduced Ba'al flashbacks and you have a damn good read. Yes it's a WIP but at over 49,000 words there is enough to sink your teeth into.

Why this must be read: Daniel is invited to an academic conference and opening of the International Watcher's Council's Members Only Research Library and Museum. Jack goes ballistic. Andrew has some theories that actually are almost right. Almost. Lisa Roquin is one of my favourite SG crossover authors. I'm going to end up flipping a coin trying to decide which crossover series I'm going to rec for you before my month is up. While I'm choosing, read "Suspicions and Secrets", I promise you wont regret it.
