Why This Must Be Read:
Sam volunteers to accompany Daniel when he wants to spend some more time at an archaeological site on a planet that appears friendly and safe. Unfortunately, it proves anything but as Sam and Daniel find themselves captured by a power-crazy scientist. He implants one of his devices in them - a metal disc that causes one to feel the physical sensations of the other, and sends Sam through the 'gate with orders to return with naquadah in 48 hours, and an intense reminder that they can easily use Daniel to get her attention.

The entire team bands together in their effort to get Sam and Daniel out of this situation safely and Sam and Daniel build a deeper connection as the devices begin to transmit not just physical blows, but also anger and frustration. This is an idea that could go sappy or cracky but Aimless makes it work really well.

Why This Must Be Read:

nostalgia_lj has a special gift for -- well, she has many special gifts, but one of them is for understated creepiness. In this chilly little fic, the Asgard don't quite put Jack back right after "Lost City". Seen through Daniel's eyes, he's simultaneously utterly Jack and utterly ... something else.

Thor said that they'd have to keep Jack off Earth in case he broke it. Or rather, Thor said more eloquently, and Daniel subconsciously translated it into Jack. Jack is a language not easily learned by aliens, and Daniel has spent the last seven years running phrases back and forth because the literal translations would have got them kicked back through the 'gate.
