Author's summary: Jack's in Daniel's arms, and although Daniel has an idea about what he'd like to do about it, he's not sure Jack does.

Why This Must Be Read: A classic cabin!fic, 'Minnesota' starts out with an entertaining exchange between Jack and Teal'c (with Daniel trying to mediate) as Teal'c sets out to take Jack's truck on a food run, and a line of dialogue that I fully believe is Teal'c doing an Arnold Schwarzenegger impression. Then it quietly settles into a lovely interlude with Daniel and Jack alone in the tranquil lakeside setting. There's a little bit of longing and uncertainty and angst from Daniel's point of view, the Moment When Everything Changes is gently electrifying, and the fic as a whole is warm and happy-making and just the thing for reading (or re-reading) at the start of a new year. About 3400 words.

Why This Must Be Read: This is one of a very few stories that has shaken apart my complacency when it comes to this pairing. Some of the events move as quickly as an avalanche, some as slowly as a glacier, but through the whole wild and tumbling ride teaphile brings out the essence of the team's interactions and their needs, through every startling revelation and on to the unexpected but satisfying conclusion. If you have never believed in OT4 before, this story could convince you. If you're an old hand, this is a totally different take from anything else you've seen. Read it with chocolate.
