Why this must be read: This is a very funny fic, I had a great time reading it. It tells the tale of our intrepid team who, in order to improve the Lanteans' image in the galaxy, are following the honored Pegasus tradition of The Wandering. Naturally they handle that task with great grace and dignity... um.
Summary: It's just like a mission, only not. (~16,290)

Why This Must Be Read: This almost gentle ficlet is an episode tag for The Lost Tribe from SGA, in which poor Daniel goes through an all-too-familiar scenario yet again. Jack and Daniel share a conversation that is both understated and rich with understanding and is utterly, perfectly them.


Only Jack could take the horror of the choicelessness of that moment and reduce it to a harmless conversational kernel--and do it with understanding instead of condescension or pity.
