Why This Must Be Read: I know I've already recc'd a Corby story and I hadn't intended to rec two from the same author but.. guh. Corby has such a clean, straight-forward writing style that I tend to lose myself in her fics. She makes it look so easy, and whenever I finish reading something of hers I always think 'damn, I wish I could write like that'.

But this story is different from the last, darker, more angsty. And it's a multiple universe story, which is another of my hot buttons. I don't want to give away the plot so I'll just say it really packs a punch. The ending is perfect and not really an ending at all. Rated R for violent (but not graphically written) acts.

Why This Must Be Read: This is a short, thought-provoking fic that's stuck in my mind since I read it. Set during Jack's new life in Washington, it lets us see how he deals with the people around him, specifically his secretary, and also gives us an insight into how a man who's seen so much feels when he's looking at something our world has to offer. I was left wondering how much Jack really feels at home on Earth now. Loyal to it, yes; impressed by it? Who knows...
