Why This Must Be Read: When this classic Jack-and-Daniel piece was recently archived on AO3, I smiled at the appearance of an old friend... and then double-checked my lists, and was shocked to discover that I'd never actually recced it!

So sit back and enjoy an absolutely delightful Jack-in-DC fic in which Daniel, thankfully, includes "Jack" as one of his many languages. Snark, fondness, snappy dialogue, and pitch-perfect friendship. Wear whatever goggles you'd like. :)


As he came down the hallway, Daniel could hear a full-scale O'Neill tantrum through the door.

"What is it with this hospital and oatmeal?! Is it too much to ask to get a freaking coffee and a doughnut?"

"I'm sorry, sir! I really can't..." Daniel heard a very young and quavering voice.

"Sick man, here! I'd like to die happy!"

"Oh, I'm really not supposed to..." Pause. "I'll see if I can slip a doughnut out of our break room for you."

"Thank you!"

A pretty girl came flying out of the room.

"Well, obviously not dead yet," Daniel snarked from the doorway.

Aw, thank you! This was one of my very first Stargate fics. Those guys are just too cute together. :-)

Yes. Yes, they are!

I liked, BTW, the little handwave you made of their powers-of-attorney in an effort to explain WHY Paul Davis would've needed Daniel's permission to blow the sub. I don't buy it entirely, mind you (hello? Jack is compos mentis and just ASKED YOU TO DO IT) but it was a valiant try nonetheless. ;)

I know, the guy from the Pentagon looking at the team scientist for that! And yet, I love that he did. :-)

Her gen fics are rare as diamonds, and equally lovely. :D
