Why This Must Be Read:

This story looks at the aftermath of 'Absolute Power'; what Daniel tells the team and General Hammond about his dream and, more importantly, what he leaves out, as well as the emotional toll it takes on him. It fills in some wonderful details of what Daniel has figured out about the Tok'ra's agenda, and the plans they had for Shifu. Absolute also serves a prologue to a story previously rec'ed in this catagory, To Better Light A Candle . I recommend reading them together for a complete and moving look at the immediate results of Shifu's dream, and the longterm effects that will stay with Daniel, influencing his decisions, right up through his ascension, and perhaps after. Not only must this be read, but it must be followed by it's sequel.

Why This Must Be Read:

'Interference' gives us back some of the year of Daniel's life that we missed, for which I will be forever grateful. It shows us how he worked around the rules of the Ascended where he could, and chafed at them, until his growing anger will let him do so no more. Eventually, he has to interfere openly, and we see the events of 'Full Circle' from Daniel's point of view. There's lots more to this story in four parts than I have mentioned here, but I'll leave those things for you to discover. Enjoy!
