Why This Must Be Read: This is a warm and lovely look at the friendship between our favorite pair. The author is very good at capturing the aspect of Sparky that is the flirting and teasing part of their relationship. The story is also very good at placing them well within the world of Atlantis and how they relate not just to each other, but to the other members of the city, both as individuals and as the leaders of the expedition.

Why This Must Be Read: This short, sharp fic seems, at first, to be an earnest discussion about alternate realities, taking place between the members of SG-1 as they sit together in the commissary. Despite the big, honkin' clue, that's all I thought it was at first, myself.

It's fun to watch Daniel insist on a conversation that Jack would be quite happy to avoid, as he muses on the possibilities of alternate universes through the quantum mirror and the onus put upon them by their good fate. The conversation unravels into snark and good humor, and we think that the whole story is just a snapshot of SG-1 in the commissary…

Until. Until you read the final part of the fic, and you realize the timeframe of that conversation, and in just which reality it didn't take place.

And then you wince.

And then, if you're like me, you'll go back and read this powerful little story all over again.
