Why This Must Be Read: As I wrote when I first commented at the entry: Stunning. Evocative. Eloquent. Beautiful!

Stultiloquentia paints a rich, lush picture of Jack at home, utterly at peace, at the lake in Minnesota when he invites the team there post-Threads. This is the bones of the man, etched against water and sky and memory: character study at its finest.

And while Sam and Daniel still sleep in the cabin, Teal'c joins him at the dock in perfect companionship - spare words exchanged, with a wealth of meaning underneath.

This is mostly a Jack piece, with fond echoes of team; Teal'c is included only in the final paragraphs. But I rec it here for Jack and Teal'c friendship for the richness of those last lines, and the way both human and Jaffa are so exactly right.

Why This Must Be Read:

This is Cam at the very beginning of being with SG1, trying to figure out being the leader, working for Landry, working with Sam, and most of all, his relationship with Daniel.

Cam in this seems like what he really needs is a really good friend – dirty-diana writes all the stuff we never saw on screen, how much he’s floundering in this new place and needs someone to steady him, even with a team of people. It’s a story about Cam and Daniel’s developing relationship, but it’s also a story about everything else that Cam’s about right then, from the Ori to being a leader to how being something other than straight is going to work at the SGC.
